[C320-list] [c320-list] Re: Disabling leaky water heater

[Ferris Wills]

Doug,

Oddly it’s not, that’s why I was commenting on it - I have a couple of the push-in style breakers on other circuits on the AC panel. The one for the water heater was different. I’ve replaced it with a 15amp breaker  that functions like the others.

Thx,
Ferris
