Electrical subpanel just for bathroom!
[Note: Subpanel would not be located in bathroom - elsewhere...]
I'm redoing my bathroom and am thinking of everything which would be good to have now as well as what might be needed in the future. This project started out by planning to install just one 20 amp circuit... I've since added a 240 volt wall heater and a whirlpool tub which both require their own separate circuits. Then thought since I had the outside wall torn apart, it would be a good idea to install an outside outlet on the other side (separate circuit)... Now I just read about "electric toilets"! Yes a separate outlet would be needed for an electric toilet. One model has a pump to flush with more force. Another has a heated seat and warmed water spray bidet with a ....drum roll.... Remote control! Yes a toilet seat with a remote control. And I suppose that needs a separate circuit as well? Anyway now I think I will install an outlet under the toilet as well for the future. All these separate circuits, now I'm thinking of adding a small subpanel in that area so I don't use up all my empty slots in the main panel (locate outside of bathroom of course). Remote control toilet seat... http://www.homeperfect.com/brondell/...ndellwashlets/ The $3,638.55 "electric pump" toilet... http://www.us.kohler.com/onlinecatal...?prod_num=3607 ....Owners Manual... http://www.us.kohler.com/onlinecatal.../1092035_5.pdf |

Careful you don't get the dreaded "split stream" and **** in the outlet. Although that would be a good way to test the GFCI. |

Maybe that might be a good spot to install one of those new outdoor outlet covers! :-) |
