    Interesting point made by ELECT 1, Sometimes water in the bowl behind the fridge does not evaporate
    quickly enough and I find a pool of water on the floor.
    Regarding Leecatt's comments - The DB in the house has two double pole switches (besides the geyser)
    i.e the house mains switch and the E/L switch.

    Thats ok. There also needs to be a double pole isolator in the Db for the pool
    To make a mistake is human, to learn from that mistake is knowledge and knowledge is strength.
