Looking for opinions regarding electric point-of-use water heaters such as the one pictured below. My main concern is, are they an electrical hazard if installed properly.
(Sorry for the spanish. The english side of the box is covered by labels.)
This is a follow up to my thread about a Watts Pressure Relief Valve
A few weeks ago we noticed that there was a burst of water pressure when we turned on a faucet or flushed the toilet. Our handyman friend, Jim, had me get a new pressure regulator and installed it for us. We went from 70-90 water pressure down to 50. But a few days after he did that, I discovered a pool of water under our water heater in the garage. Was worried that the water would cause a flood in our master bedroom closet which is on the other side of that wall, but it didn't. Long story short, he assumed we needed a new pressure relief valve which he installed last week. He also cut the copper overflow pipe (if that's what you call it) so we could fit a bucket under it--it stupidly went all the way to the floor. Unfortunately, even though the old one was all corroded and we probably needed a new relief valve, it hasn't made any difference as far as water appearing in the bucket after we've used hot water for showering or washing dishes (I've started washing all clothes in cold water). It's not a huge amount of water: After a shower, there's only about enough to barely cover the bottom of a Lowe's bucket. But it's adding up. We haven't heard back from Jim. He is flummoxed and not sure what to do next. I'm sure he would appreciate any ideas. Thanks!
We mistakenly replaced a propane water heater with a natural gas water heater. After discovering the difference, we purchased the correct model and replaced it again. My question is after using propane on the natural gas model, is it ok to use the natural gas model in another home? Do we need to replace any parts before doing so? Is there a possibilty that we damaged any parts on the natural gas model while it was connected to propane?
thank you.
