Is a GFCI breaker required for an electric pool heater?

I'm not positive but, as far as I know, one is required on a 120V heater but not on a 220V heater. Even if a GFCI isn't required I would install one anyway for the safety of your family and friends. These devices do work and are well worth the cost. Call a Professional... Either a GFCI outlet or a GFCI breaker, and I think I'd use the GFCI outlet because the reset on an outlet is closer to the pool than the breaker would be. But put it far enough away from the pool that you've got to get out to reset it. I think that's code; if it's not it should be.


How do I wire a hot water heater to a dryer outlet?

I believe you are required by code to hardwire the hot water heater and not plug it into an outlet. One assumes that you are no longer using the dryer, so you could have an electrician install the proper connection box if the current dryer outlet was in the correct location. There are other rules about requiring a disconnect if you can't see the connection point from the water heater. There are lots of ways to screw this up so I don't suggest you do it if you are not qualified.

What does the water outlet housing look like 2004 sebring?

What does the water outlet housing look like 2001 Sebring (2.7liters) V6? It depends on the engine type... For the 2.7L V6 engine code R it looks like a black plastic piece with three hoses going into it. It has a brass bleed valve on the very top and the coolant temp sensor mounted vertically just below it. It is mounted on top of the engine block on the passenger side. Search for 902-302 for an aftermarket solution.

Outlets can be located 6 inches above electric baseboard heaters?

NO! No outlets may be installed above a baseboard heater, no matter how high, it's against code. (also dangerous for any electrical cord from that outlet that could rest against the hot heater) Good luck Ed
