Another note on this. More than once I've had a ceramic heater blow up in a tank. They pop on occasion and you won't know they've blown up every time. If you stick a metal part into liquid, with wires in it, plugged into a wall outlet, it will light you up and good. It's a very good idea to use GFIC plugs on anything around liquids. Just for ya'lls amusement and laughs. Last time it happened, I was sticking a Ti rack full of parts into sealer. As the rack touched the sealer, I was sent into a quiver and the lights went out. The GFIC popped the circuit and I was standing in the dark, hollering for my son to bring a flashlight so I could do something without messing up the parts I had just run. I changed out the blown heater and finished the job but had a little tingle for a bit.
