Ground Fault Protection

We know that water and oil don't mix; but water and juice (i.e. electricity) can be fatal. To safeguard against this dangerous combination, replace standard outlets in places where moisture increases the chance of shock (such as a bathroom, kitchen, workshop, garage or outdoors) with ground-fault interrupter receptacles. A GFI monitors the electrical current flowing through a circuit's wires and will cut power the instant even a slight imbalance is detected. To safely restore the power just press the GFI's "reset" button. And GFI receptacles are easy to install when you follow the directions.
