What are the environmental requirements for Pila?
My well pump is 120V, but I don't keep it in my house. It's in a shed out back built over the well and tank. The shed is not insulated, but does have a 400W space heater plugged into one of these [1] that tries to keep it above freezing in there. I think most of the time it succeeds but it is possible that for a few days a year it might get below freezing for a while.
I have no idea what the humidity is like, or how hot it can get in the summer.
Would the current Pila be OK in that kind of environment?
