Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Immersion question

Springsteen · 2019-03-11 13:01:13

Hi All, Bath and sink immersion. Just got a new app to measure power used in watts. On sink mode immersion draws approx 2700 Watts. On bath mode approx 1900 Watts. Is this normal? I thought the bigger element would draw more Watts? Any thoughts? Thanks

It's very likely that the switch is wired the wrong way (a lot of them are)

It's an easy fix that should only take a few minutes (or just relabel the switch;))

Yes switch re-label is a good solution there.
