I must say this as a warning, and i really mean,, i usually plug in the outside water heater tank and leave for a couple of hours,, i usually run errands on friday,, well since i had a potential customer coming i stayed home.. I am feeding the rest of the horses and i put garbage into the cans and headed to the arena to let out the horses for the day.. hmmm something is wrong,, i smell wood burning.. well the plug and the outlet were smoking,, i freaked out,, since i had a building burn to the ground years ago i am paranoid of fire and the heaters.. if i had gone out for the morning the arena would have caught fire,.. i called my daughter in law she came over,, i had turned off the main breaker and she took the plug apart,, it was cracked and the wires were burned,, it is a plug that i have been asking for 5 years to get changed,
the moral to the story,, look at those plugs and if they are cracked, old, or if a cord does not fit in it correctly, get them changed. oh and never leave those heaters plugged in for hours,, i leave them heating the water for 45 minutes,, when im done feeding i unplug them..
so check your outlets, and cords.. frays or broken ones get rid of them and fix those plugs.
