Re: [RC] electrocution from tank heater - Sisu West Ranch

"...At the end of it where the tank plugs directly in, we installed at box that
contains two
grounded plugs in spaces (3 prong). Is this what you are all referring to as
GFI?? ..."


Probably not. A GFI or GFCI is a special socket that has writing on it and two buttons. One says "test", the other says "reset". If a short to ground happens (a Ground Fault), the circuit is interupted, saving a life.
