Re: Hot Water

Wow... that is the first time I have heard of anyone getting a jolt from one of them. Was it in a house? Do you know anything about how it was wired?

Re: Hot Water

In the PNW some boats with diesel heaters or diesel cook stoves put a loop in it and run the water through the loop into the water heater tank, as they need the heater on much of the time they always have lots of hot water. It’s an old fishing boat trick, which most of the fishermen use to wash dishes not have showers
