Foot bath heater repair help please
"hr(bob)

What everyone else says about liability I second. But, is there a 3-
wire or a 2-wire power cord, is the basin metal or plastic, two
zillion things you haven't told us about!!!!
** The basin has to be metal for the resistor / heater idea to work.
The combination of metal basin, mains power and contact heater means it has
to be earthed at the supply.
Stainless steel jugs and kettles are earthed via the lead.
