Customer shocked when touching shower water controls

[LarryFine]

I am having trouble finding where it said that a 240 hot water heater should not be hooked up using a cord and receptical or did I dream that.

I can't help but wonder why you would want to.

I had this happen also. We found out the copper water line feeding the ice maker on the fridge had rubbed against the cord. Sending voltage into the water system if you touched any handle and a drain or sink it was over 100 volts. This can be a very dangerous situation. Best of luck and this has to be fixed.

Not only is it unprofessional, but why spend the $$ on SO/SJO cord? Another recent thread on the forum dealt with a similar situation..don't discount leakage to the neutral from the POCO xmfr.

Well, here I am, have glue can will travel.
