Well dang. I live in the desert and many days are 110° in the shade
during Summer On July 4th it was 116°. Homes around here don't have
pump houses and motors are exposed to the extreme heat. Granted, the
motor will not run all day in the Summer.

So, is this upper temp limit the maximum range for continuous/constant
operation or a point when serious damage starts to happen?

The motor has an auto thermal protection. Would this trip motor in
extreme heat like we have?

Thanks,

Please don't take this the wrong way, but you suck!

I've been holding back turning on the furnace since it's only October.
(Yeah, I know it's now November)

The house has occasionally dipped below the point where the furnace
should fire up, but extra blankets and sweatshirts have worked so far.

Swim a lap for me, will ya?

GRIN I might get one more jump in the pool. I have solar heat and
we are getting COLD. Below 90° and my nips get hard :-/
