Rich - as I understand, the plugs will work in the northern climates if they are positioned in the tube closer to the header.  

That being said, I think the idea behind spreading this video around is really to get people (both pool owners as well as service professionals or potential Dealers of yours) to understand how difficult FAFCO's repair procedure is.  

Since this video is the property of FAFCO I am not sure we could, legally, amend the video as you described without getting some flack about it.  But, as you spread it around, feel free to include the AI repair method PDF to provide a comparison of just how quickly and easily our panels can be repaired.
