Плохо греет теплый пол водяной причины: Почему не греет водяной теплый пол

Что делать, если теплый плохо греет теплый пол или не нагревается вовсе?

Неисправности электрического теплого пола

Что делать, если теплый пол греет неравномерно или не нагревается вовсе? Для того, чтобы приступить к ремонту не работающего устройства фирмы Теплолюкс, необходимо выяснить причину поломки и понять, как именно работает система электрического пола.

Принцип работы выглядит следующим образом: ток поступает на нагревательный элемент, вследствии чего он накаляется и передает тепло поверхности пола. Это в дальнейшем приводит к нагреву воздуха в помещении.

Ток поступает в нагревательную систему через терморегулятор, главная функция которого  —  включить и отключить нагрев, а также при помощи него регулируют температуру теплоносителя. Когда достигается установленная температура, термостат автоматически приостанавливает процесс нагрева.

Движение тока к элементам нагрева происходит через термодатчик, главной задачей которого является включение и отключение подогрева пола. По достижению установленной температуры он отключается, так же отключение происходит, если произошел перегрев покрытия.

Давайте рассмотрим основные причины, почему не греет теплый пол, наиболее частые из них следующие:

• Поломка терморегулятора, это одна из наиболее часто встречающихся неисправностей, для проверки обесточьте сеть, снимите прибор и протестируйте его, используя мультиметр.
• Поврежден кабель, происходит это, как правило, еще на этапе монтажа или если вы делали отверстие в полу. Для проверки измеряют его сопротивление и изоляцию.

  Если отклонение измерения от паспортных данных более 4-6 %, можно с уверенностью сказать, что он поврежден или разорван. Пленочный инфракрасный нагревательный элемент быстро портится, если покрытие очень тонкое и на него постоянно идет неравномерная нагрузка.

• Не работает температурный датчик. Если поверхность плохо греется (еле-еле), или он не отключается, это свидетельствует о некорректной работе или неправильном монтаже. Еще одной причиной неисправности может быть неправильное его расположение, то есть его монтировали очень близко к системе нагрева.
  Это приведет к тому, что он за короткое время будет нагреваться и отключаться, при этом поверхность не успеет прогреться в достаточной мере. Допустимой нормой расхождения от установленной принято считать не более 2-3 градусов.

• Некачественно выполненная изоляция.

Итак, рассмотрим, что надо делать при конкретных поломках.

Неисправный кабель

Если проблема с кабелем нагрева:

• Для того, чтобы проверить целостность, нужно отсоединить клеммы от терморегулятора, и замерить уровень напряжения в греющих жилах. Допускается отклонение на 5 % от данных в паспорте.
  

Терморегулятор теплого пола

При помощи высоковольтного генератора найдите место повреждения, на участке разрыва образуется электрическая дуга. Если у вас нет генератора, используйте звуковой детектор, в месте разрыва он издаст звуковой сигнал. Или же при помощи обычного тестера напряжения.

После обнаружения места пробоя нужно убрать слой стяжки и отделочного материала. После того, как вы добрались до кабеля, зачистите его, соедините при помощи гильзы, обожмите ее, наденьте муфту, для плотности усадки прогрейте феном.

Проверьте систему, проведите тестовый пуск перед тем, как залить все стяжкой.

Если пуск прошел успешно, можете делать стяжку и стелить покрытие. Если ремонт не дал результата, придется делать замену всего кабеля.

Неисправный датчик

Если проблема с датчиком:

• Поскольку датчик температуры монтируется в специальную трубку, найти его не будет сложно.
• Как правило, трубка расположена в стене под небольшим слоем шпаклевки, достаньте ее. Далее потяните за провод и вы достанете само устройство, замените его новым и вставьте обратно в трубу. После чего верните все, как было.

Неисправный термостат

Зачастую проблема заключается в том, что клеммы соединяющие провода, ослабевают, достаточно их немного прижать и проблема устранится. Если выполнить замеры напряжения питания  и исходящего напряжения в рабочем состоянии, они должны быть равны. Если это не так, прибор нуждается в замене.

Как правило, все терморегуляторы показывают на своем дисплее возникшие неисправности. Еще одной причиной того, что слабо греет, может быть неверно подобранная мощность. Минимальная мощность составляет 150 Вт на м2, при монтаже своими руками рекомендуется брать запас в 10%.

Поскольку только опытный специалист сможет произвести точный расчет. Так как помимо площади имеет значение насколько холодные зимы, уровень напряжения в сети, на каком этаже выполняется монтаж. Если у вас в сети происходят частые перепады, для улучшения работы рекомендуется использовать стабилизатор напряжения.

Для оценки состояния необходимо понимать, сколько греется пол, в документации указано, что за 30-35 минут температура датчика должна соответствовать показателям терморегулятора. Во время нагрева горит индикатор, а по окончанию он должен гаснуть.

Неисправности водяного теплого пола

Главной причиной плохой работы водяного пола является некачественный монтаж, который выполняют низкоквалифицированные специалисты. Также причина может крыться в маленькой мощности котла или неотлаженной работы насоса.

Циркуляционный насос теплого пола

При включении в  первый раз, может возникнуть ситуация, когда не нагревается или неравномерно греет система, нужно для начала проверить правильно ли работает контур. Проверьте все ли вентили в распределительном щитке находятся в положении “открыто”. Любые ремонтные работы нужно начинать с предварительного осмотра. Если все вентили повернуты вдоль трубы, значит они открыты.

Если пол перестал греть, возможная причина поломки может крыться в циркуляционном насосе. Система не включится, при этом питание поступает, но температура не поднимается, поскольку теплоноситель не циркулирует. Нужно выполнить замену неисправного насоса.

Еще одной  причиной почему не запускается контур, может служить завоздушивание, то есть из-за образовавшейся пробки теплоноситель не продавливается по системе. По причине завоздушивания одна часть пола может быть теплая, а другая холодная. Эту проблему может решить квалифицированный специалист.

Холодная обратка может свидетельствовать не о поломке, а о большой площади обогрева или о недостаточной мощности котла. Если прогрев происходит местами, это результат плохой пароизоляции, исправить подобное можно только переделав ее заново.

Ну и, конечно, может быть повреждение труб нагрева, выходом из этой ситуации является их частичная замена. Для этого перекройте подачу воды, обеспечьте доступ к трубе и замените испортившийся элемент.

Неисправности инфракрасного теплого пола

Невзирая на то, что это наиболее новый и современный способ обогрева, и в нем существуют проблемы, возникающие во время монтажа или эксплуатации:

• Во время запитки системы от электросети используются провода, которые крепятся к медному элементу, который расположен с края пленки. Крепление выполняется с использованием зажимов. Если зажать недостаточно сильно, со временем металл начинает окисляться. Это приведет к обрыву цепи и холодному полу. Чтобы исправить ситуацию, нужно зачистить и подключить заново.
• При эксплуатации может выйти из строя терморегулятор, который отвечает за регулировку степени нагрева. При этой поломке происходит неправильная работа, температура не соответствует установленной или нагрев происходит слишком долго. Это можно исправить, только заменив сломанный элемент.
• Если значительно снизилось качество обогрева. и температура в доме не поднимается до комфортного значения, необходимо выполнить тестирование исправности ленточного электрического элемента. В случае его неисправности можно только заменить на новый, поскольку ремонту он  практически не подлежит.

Если вы выполняете первый запуск, часто возникает вопрос, как  долго греется пол? Изначально необходимо установить температуру на 40 градусов, и в итоге у вас будет нужная, или сказать точнее, комфортная для человека  температура  поверхности 36-38 градусов, примерно через  минут 30-40.

90000 What’s causing the poles to warm faster than the rest of Earth? 90001 90002 What’s causing the poles to warm faster than the rest of Earth? 90003 90002 04.06.11 90003 90002 90003 The poles are warming faster than other parts of the Earth — a fact that has been widely accepted for years. But what is causing the accelerated warming? 90002 Research aimed at answering that question has been done before, but a recent study by Patrick Taylor, a scientist at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., Suggests a new reason. 90003 90002 Taylor’s research shows the Earth’s poles are warming faster than the rest of the planet because of energy in the atmosphere that is carried to the poles through large weather systems. 90003 90002 Decades of NASA data show the Earth is warming. According to NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in Manhattan, the Earth has warmed about 1.44 degrees Fahrenheit during the last 40 years. But the poles are warming even faster; the Arctic has warmed by more than 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit during the same time period. 90003 90002 «It was previously thought that amplified polar warming was caused by melting ice, lowering surface albedo,» Taylor said. 90003 90002 Albedo is the amount of sun’s energy that is reflected off the Earth’s surface and back into space, rather than absorbed. The more reflective the surface — such as ice — the more energy is reflected and the cooler the temperature. When ice melts, less energy is reflected and temperature increases. 90003 90002 «Surface albedo at the poles, however, is lowest in the summer, which is when we see the weakest temperature response.More recent research suggests that other atmospheric processes are at work, «Taylor said. 90003 90002 For this study, Taylor used Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) satellite data, and a climate model that assumes carbon emissions will be reduced slightly below «business as usual.» 90003 90002 His results suggest that summertime changes in clouds reflect a lot of the sun’s energy, offsetting the low surface albedo, and that it must be something else that determines the amount of warming.90003 90002 «The total warming at the poles is due to changes in clouds, water vapor, surface albedo and atmospheric temperature,» he said. «But there is greater warming in the winter than in the summer and that is caused by energy transport,» he said. 90003 90002 Taylor’s research shows that the seasonality of the polar warming is largely a result of energy in the atmosphere that is being transported to the poles through large weather systems. 90003 90002 The importance of energy transport in the warming of the poles suggests more study is needed on the interactions between large weather systems and more local changes, involving clouds, water vapor, surface albedo and atmospheric temperature, in order to better understand climate sensitivity.90003 90002 «We hope to learn more about the processes involved in atmospheric processes in order to better understand what climate models are telling us,» Taylor said. 90003 90002 90033 Related Link: 90034 90003 90002> NASA’s Climate portal: http://climate.nasa.gov 90003 90002 90003 90002 90003 Kristyn Ecochard 90042 NASA’s Earth Science News Team.90000 Effects of Global Warming | Live Science 90001 90002 Global warming is expected to have far-reaching, long-lasting and, in many cases, devastating consequences for planet Earth. 90003 90002 Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth’s surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. 90003 90002 Despite political controversy about climate change, a major report released Sept.27, 2013, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that scientists are more certain than ever of the link between human activities and global warming. More than 197 international scientific organizations agree that global warming is real and has been caused by human action. 90003 90002 Already, global warming is having a measurable effect on the planet. 90003 90002 «We can observe this happening in real time in many places. Ice is melting in both polar ice caps and mountain glaciers.Lakes around the world, including Lake Superior, are warming rapidly — in some cases faster than the surrounding environment. Animals are changing migration patterns and plants are changing the dates of activity, «such as trees budding their leaves earlier in the spring and dropping them later in the fall, Josef Werne, a professor of geology and environmental science at the University of Pittsburgh, told Live Science. 90003 90002 Here is an in-depth look at the changes wrought by global warming.90003 90014 Increase in average temperatures and temperature extremes 90015 90002 One of the most immediate and obvious effects of global warming is the increase in temperatures around the world. The average global temperature has increased by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) over the past 100 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 90003 90002 Since record keeping began in 1895 the hottest year on record worldwide was 2016, according to NOAA and NASA data.That year Earth’s surface temperature was 1.78 degrees F (0.99 degrees C) warmer than the average across the entire 20th century. Before 2016, 2015 was the warmest year on record, globally. And before 2015 році? Yep, 2014. In fact, 16 of the 17 warmest years on record have happened since 2001, according to NASA. 90003 90002 For the contiguous United States and Alaska, 2016 was the second-warmest year on record and the 20th consecutive year that the annual average surface temperature exceeded the 122-year average since record keeping began, according to NOAA.90003 90014 Extreme weather events 90015 90002 Extreme weather is another effect of global warming. While experiencing some of the hottest summers on record, much of the United States has also been experiencing colder-than-normal winters. 90003 90002 Changes in climate can cause the polar jet stream — the boundary between the cold North Pole air and the warm equatorial air — to migrate south, bringing with it cold, Arctic air. This is why some states can have a sudden cold snap or colder-than-normal winter, even during the long-term trend of global warming, Werne explained.90003 90002 «Climate is, by definition, the long-term average of weather, over many years. One cold (or warm) year or season has little to do with overall climate. It is when those cold (or warm) years become more and more regular that we start to recognize it as a change in climate rather than simply an anomalous year of weather, «he said. 90003 90002 Global warming may also lead to extreme weather other than cold or heat extremes. For example, hurricane formations will change. Though this is still a subject of active scientific research, current computer models of the atmosphere indicate that hurricanes are more likely to become less frequent on a global basis, though the hurricanes that do form may be more intense.90003 90002 «And even if they become less frequent globally, hurricanes could still become more frequent in some particular areas,» said atmospheric scientist Adam Sobel, author of «Storm Surge: Hurricane Sandy, Our Changing Climate, and Extreme Weather of the Past and Future «(HarperWave, 2014 року). «Additionally, scientists are confident that hurricanes will become more intense due to climate change.» This is because hurricanes get their energy from the temperature difference between the warm tropical ocean and the cold upper atmosphere.Global warming increases that temperature difference. 90003 90002 «Since the most damage by far comes from the most intense hurricanes — such as typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013 — this means that hurricanes could become overall more destructive,» said Sobel, a Columbia University professor in the departments of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics. (Hurricanes are called typhoons in the western North Pacific, and they’re called cyclones in the South Pacific and Indian oceans.) 90003 90002 Lightening is another weather feature that is being affected by global warming. According to a 2014 study, a 50 percent increase in the number of lightning strikes within the United States is expected by 2100 if global temperatures continue to rise. The researchers of the study found a 12 percent increase in lightning activity for every 1.8 degree F (1 degree C) of warming in the atmosphere. 90003 90002 NOAA established the U.S. Climate Extremes Index (CEI) in 1996 to track extreme weather events.The number of extreme weather events that are among the most unusual in the historical record, according to the CEI, has been rising over the last four decades. 90003 90002 Scientists project that extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, blizzards and rainstorms will continue to occur more often and with greater intensity due to global warming, according to Climate Central. Climate models forecast that global warming will cause climate patterns worldwide to experience significant changes.These changes will likely include major shifts in wind patterns, annual precipitation and seasonal temperatures variations. 90003 90002 In addition, because high levels of greenhouse gases are likely to remain in the atmosphere for many years, these changes are expected to last for several decades or longer, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In the northeastern United States, for example, climate change is likely to bring increased annual rainfall, while in the Pacific Northwest, summer rainfall is expected to decrease, the EPA said.90003 90014 Ice melt 90015 90002 One of the primary manifestations of climate change so far is melt. North America, Europe and Asia have all seen a trend toward less snow cover between 1960 and 2015 року, according to 2016 research published in the journal Current Climate Change Reports. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, there is now 10 percent less permafrost, or permanently frozen ground, in the Northern Hemisphere than there was in the early 1900s. The thawing of permafrost can cause landslides and other sudden land collapses.It can also release long-buried microbes, as in a 2016 case when a cache of buried reindeer carcasses thawed and caused an outbreak of anthrax. 90003 90002 One of the most dramatic effects of global warming is the reduction in Arctic sea ice. Sea ice hit record-low extents in both the fall and winter of 2015 and 2016, meaning that at the time when the ice is supposed to be at its peak, it was lagging. The melt means there is less thick sea ice that persists for multiple years. That means less heat is reflected back into the atmosphere by the shiny surface of the ice and more is absorbed by the comparatively darker ocean, creating a feedback loop that causes even more melt, according to NASA’s Operation IceBridge.90003 90002 Glacial retreat, too, is an obvious effect of global warming. Only 25 glaciers bigger than 25 acres are now found in Montana’s Glacier National Park, where about 150 glaciers were once found, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. A similar trend is seen in glacial areas worldwide. According to a 2016 study in the journal Nature Geoscience, there is a 99 percent likelihood that this rapid retreat is due to human-caused climate change. Some glaciers retreated up to 15 times as much as they would have without global warming, those researchers found.90003 90002 90003 IceBridge project sciencist Michael Studinger calls this photo a textbook example of a receding glacier, one that’s shrinking in size. The dark, arc-shaped piles are terminal and lateral moraines, jumbled rock piles left behind as the glacier recedes. A small, frozen lake sits at the left-hand terminus of the glacier. Taken in Thomsen Land, northeast Greenland. (Image credit: NASA / Michael Studinger) 90014 Sea levels and ocean acidification 90015 90002 In general, as ice melts, sea levels rise.In 2014 року, the World Meteorological Organization reported that sea-level rise accelerated 0.12 inches (3 millimeters) per year on average worldwide. This is around double the average annual rise of 0.07 in. (1.6 mm) in the 20th century. 90003 90002 Melting polar ice in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, coupled with melting ice sheets and glaciers across Greenland, North America, South America, Europe and Asia, are expected to raise sea levels significantly. And humans are mostly to blame: In the IPCC report released on Sept.27, 2013, climate scientists said they are at least 95 percent certain that humans are to blame for warming oceans, rapidly melting ice and rising sea levels, changes that have been observed since the 1950s. 90003 90002 Global sea levels have risen about 8 inches since 1870 році, according to the EPA, and the rate of increase is expected to accelerate in the coming years. If current trends continue, many coastal areas, where roughly half of the Earth’s human population lives, will be inundated. 90003 90002 Researchers project that by 2100, average sea levels will be 2.3 feet (.7 meters) higher in New York City, 2.9 feet (0.88 m) higher at Hampton Roads, Virginia, and 3.5 feet (1.06 m) higher at Galveston, Texas, the EPA reports. According to an IPCC report, if greenhouse gas emissions remain unchecked, global sea levels could rise by as much as 3 feet (0.9 meters) by 2100. That estimate is an increase from the estimated 0.9 to 2.7 feet (0.3 to 0.8 meters) that was predicted in the 2007 IPCC report for future sea-level rise. 90003 90002 Sea level is not the only thing changing for the oceans due to global warming.As levels of CO2 increase, the oceans absorb some of that gas, which increases the acidity of seawater. Werne explains it this way: «When you dissolved CO2 in water, you get carbonic acid. This is the same exact thing that happens in cans of soda. When you pop the top on a can of Dr Pepper, the pH is 2 — quite acidic. » 90003 90002 Since the Industrial Revolution began in the early 1700s, the acidity of the oceans has increased about 25 percent, according to the EPA. «This is a problem in the oceans, in large part, because many marine organisms make shells out of calcium carbonate (think corals, oysters), and their shells dissolve in acid solution,» said Werne.»So as we add more and more CO2 to the ocean, it gets more and more acidic, dissolving more and more shells of sea creatures. It goes without saying that this is not good for their health.» 90003 90002 If current ocean acidification trends continue, coral reefs are expected to become increasingly rare in areas where they are now common, including most U.S. waters, the EPA reports. In 2016 and 2017, portions of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia were hit with bleaching, a phenomenon in which coral eject their symbiotic algae.Bleaching is a sign of stress from too-warm waters, unbalanced pH or pollution; coral can recover from bleaching, but back-to-back episodes make recovery less likely. 90003 90002 90003 Arctic sea ice at the end of melt season, 1981-2009 (Image credit: NSIDC) 90014 Plants and animals 90015 90002 The effects of global warming on the Earth’s ecosystems are expected to be profound and widespread. Many species of plants and animals are already moving their range northward or to higher altitudes as a result of warming temperatures, according to a report from the National Academy of Sciences.90003 90002 «They are not just moving north, they are moving from the equator toward the poles. They are quite simply following the range of comfortable temperatures, which is migrating to the poles as the global average temperature warms,» ​​Werne said. Ultimately, he said, this becomes a problem when the rate of climate change velocity (how fast a region changes put into a spatial term) is faster than the rate that many organisms can migrate. Because of this, many animals may not be able to compete in the new climate regime and may go extinct.90003 90002 Additionally, migratory birds and insects are now arriving in their summer feeding and nesting grounds several days or weeks earlier than they did in the 20th century, according to the EPA. 90003 90002 Warmer temperatures will also expand the range of many disease-causing pathogens that were once confined to tropical and subtropical areas, killing off plant and animal species that formerly were protected from disease. 90003 90002 These and other effects of global warming, if left unchecked, will likely contribute to the disappearance of up to one-half of Earth’s plants and one-third of animals from their current range by 2080, according to a 2013 report in the journal Nature Climate Change.90003 90014 Social effects 90015 90002 As dramatic as the effects of climate change are expected to be on the natural world, the projected changes to human society may be even more devastating. 90003 90002 Agricultural systems will likely be dealt a crippling blow. Though growing seasons in some areas will expand, the combined impacts of drought, severe weather, lack of accumulated snowmelt, greater number and diversity of pests, lower groundwater tables and a loss of arable land could cause severe crop failures and livestock shortages worldwide.90003 90002 North Carolina State University also notes that carbon dioxide is affecting plant growth. Though CO2 can increase the growth of plants, the plants may become less nutritious. 90003 90002 This loss of food security may, in turn, create havoc in international food markets and could spark famines, food riots, political instability and civil unrest worldwide, according to a number of analyses from sources as diverse as the US Department of Defense, the Center for American Progress and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.90003 90002 In addition to less nutritious food, the effect of global warming on human health is also expected to be serious. The American Medical Association has reported an increase in mosquito-borne diseases like malaria and dengue fever, as well as a rise in cases of chronic conditions like asthma, most likely as a direct result of global warming. The 2016 outbreak of Zika virus, a mosquito-borne illness, highlighted the dangers of climate change. The disease causes devastating birth defects in fetuses when pregnant women are infected, and climate change could make higher-latitude areas habitable for the mosquitos that spread the disease, experts said.Longer, hotter summers could also lead to the spread of tick-borne illnesses. 90003 90002 90097 Additional resources: 90098 90003 .90000 Climate Change and Harmful Algal Blooms | Nutrient Pollution 90001 90002 Scientists predict that climate change will have many effects on freshwater and marine environments. These effects, along with nutrient pollution, might cause harmful algal blooms to occur more often, in more waterbodies and to be more intense. Algal blooms endanger human health, the environment and economies across the United States. 90003 90004 Climate Impacts That Might Affect Algal Blooms: 90005 90006 Warming water temperature 90007 90002 Toxic blue-green algae thrive in warm, slow-moving water.90003 90002 Harmful algae usually bloom during the warm summer season or when water temperatures are warmer than usual. Warmer water due to climate change might favor harmful algae in a number of ways: 90003 90012 90013 Toxic blue-green algae prefer warmer water. 90014 90013 Warmer temperatures prevent water from mixing, allowing algae to grow thicker and faster. 90014 90013 Warmer water is easier for small organisms to move through and allows algae to float to the surface faster. 90014 90013 Algal blooms absorb sunlight, making water even warmer and promoting more blooms.90014 90021 90006 Changes in salinity 90007 90002 Climate change might lead to more droughts, which make freshwater saltier. This can cause marine algae to invade freshwater ecosystems. In the southwestern and south central United States, toxic marine algae have been killing fish in freshwater lakes since 2000. 90003 90006 Higher carbon dioxide levels 90007 90002 Algae need carbon dioxide to survive. Higher levels of carbon dioxide in the air and water can lead to rapid growth of algae, especially toxic blue-green algae that can float to the surface of the water.90003 90006 Changes in rainfall 90007 90002 Extreme storms followed by periods of drought can lead to more algal blooms like this one seen in Iowa in 2011. 90003 90002 Climate change might affect rainfall patterns, leading to alternating periods of drought and intense storms. This can cause more nutrient runoff into waterbodies, feeding more algal blooms. 90003 90006 Sea level rise 90007 90002 Scientists predict that sea level could rise up to one meter by the year 2100. This would create more shallow and stable coastal water, conditions that are perfect for the growth of algae.90003 90006 Coastal upwelling 90007 90002 Coastal upwelling is the process by which winds push surface water offshore and deep water moves towards the coast, bringing nutrients from the ocean floor to the surface. Climate change is expected to alter the timing and intensity of coastal upwelling. Along the west coast of the United States, excess nutrients delivered by upwelling might lead to more algal blooms. 90003 .90000 Where Warm Waters Halt 90001 90002 Where Warm Waters Halt is believed by many to be the KEY clue to solving the puzzle. Especially considering the usage of the phrase ‘begin it’ immediately preceding. 90003 90002 So, it appears that we are being told to start our journey at ‘where warm waters halt’. Forrest has intimated that the puzzle involves a starting-point.So, WWWH seems to be that starting point. 90003 90002 And, whether or not you believe that WWWH is the starting-point or not, that line is clearly important — as it’s the only couplet in the entire poem that does not rhyme! 90003 90002 But, the interesting part … There’s no need for it not to rhyme. 90003 90002 What are these warm waters and why do they halt? 90003 90002 Forrest could have used the phrase ‘where warm waters balk’ — and it would mean exactly the same thing (if you believe it means where warm waters stop)! And, balk would rhyme perfectly with walk (where halt does not).90003 90002 Forrest claimed he worked on this poem for 15 years, agonizing over word-choices.
