My Tank Thread
An electrician would definitely understand what this is.I have an electrician coming in on Monday to install an outlet with a dedicated breaker for my build - if I brought this up to him/her do you think they would know what I was talking about and know how to install one? I rent the place and have gotten permission - but my sister owns the adjoining house and I would REALLY hate to burn her house down.
Like thats on my list of top 3 things I really dont want to do.
If you have a larger system I would not have them install the new circuit as a GFCI. It will take a little work on your end, but I would create multiple GFCI circuits for reliability. As I've said before, I wouldn't run a system without GFCI, but I also won't run my entire system on a single GFCI.
