Just wanted to report back - sure enough, that extra fancy harbor freight multi-meter doesn't do meg ohms - so I dummy tested it - got a new float switch, and just plugged it in and manually engaged it - no tripping, etc. Not the worst/worst case scenario where I needed to replace the entire...

Ah - didn't even think to test the resistance....this is why I come on here - good to know! I want to say the tripping happens when the switch is triggered (levels rise to turn on the pump) but then immediately trips the gfci - but even with the levels high enough turn on the float switch - I...

Hi All! My googling has led me to a bit of an empty spot for answers, so I thought I would check here! I have a sewage ejector pump for a basement bathroom (toilet, sink, tub/shower) - a fairly standard model from home depot (Everbilt 3/4 HP Cast Iron Sewage Ejector Pump ESE60W-HD). We...

Thanks all for the super helpful input - .02c, etc :) I think I'm just going to go with a 50 gal hybrid - look for the one that has the highest combined recovery rate (though I think they are all similar) - and then definitely do a tempering valve and leave room to figure out a recirculation...

Hey All, Been perusing this awesome forum for a few days - super helpful info already gathered but wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. We moved into a house about 4 years ago that had 2 aging WH (electric) - shocker both of them died within a month of us moving in! We were pretty...
