    NHC Comp Survey

    I just got an e-mail about the NHC Comp and a survey about how the comp can be improved. Good effort by the AHA...although, I wish they added a box for free-form comments. Anyhow, I filled it out and I encourage every AHA member to do so. The survey seemed to lean toward a trade-off between...

    Cheap chinese ebay stuff

    Trying to save some money and got burned. I got my 22mm panel lights from a chinese supplier on ebay. I ordered a bunch, maybe 25, all different colors...they were cheap. So I was doing some wiring this past weekend and I plugged in to do a quick test. Smelled some smoke, ruh-roh, so I...

    Input on design

    I'm looking for some input on my design. What I'm doing is a spin off of the 2 element design using 2, 20 Amp circuits. My idea is basically the same except I have 4 elements wired, with a selector switch to switch between two different elements on each circuit. That way, I can have one...

    Quick Q on O-ring Placement

    I've seen designs where the o-ring for the element is on the inside of the pot and the outside. Does it matter which way it is done? Is one way better? I'm leaning toward putting it on the inside. Also...on element grounding....I assume the outside of the element is grounded through the...

    spa panel question

    What is the point of a spa panel vs just putting the GFCI right in the main panel? I noticed my hot water heater is hooked up using a spa panel.
