Adrianb, I think it best to ignore Skippy's remark about HB. He's very new & despite his 36 years experience in electrical engineering he managed to get himself in this position
Edesur supply or not supply
so............he's still at the stage of needing to adjust his undoubted theoretical & practical experience to the realities of life in the DR. And that adjustment is quite subtle and only comes with time. I guess that's where the 40 years experience comes in handy, eh?
And Skippy, go easy on criticising one of the most respected members of DR1. These things usually lead to a pointless fight.
Dear Lambada

My original post was very tongue in cheek and was posted as a humourous anecdote. As for your friend he is respected by me too just not when he talks about electrical safety.........I hope you would at least accept I have been nothing but polite and measured in everything I have said.
Glad to hear you have had a good experience with the water heater by the way ...however my advice would still remain the same.

Fight who wants a fight?.........
