[PLUG-TALK] Radon pump turned off during outside air crisis

We installed a sub-slab radon pump in January, reducing
indoor radon from 7.1 pC/l to 1.3 pC/l.  The pump pulls
a LOT of air from underneath the basement slab;  much
of it down from the house itself.

That means more air drawn into the house from outside.
Not good, so we TURNED OFF THE PUMP for the duration.

Fortunately, I wired it to a separate circuit breaker,
so I did not need to go outside to switch if off.
