Safety of Electric Water Heaters
| Daughter: |
Hey mum, there's a story here about an electric water heater that exploded. I think it's the same model we have. |
| VO: | The law requires that the installation, inspection and maintenance of any electric water heater must be carried out by a registered electrical worker and a licensed plumber. |
| Electrical worker: | This shower type water heater shouldn't have an on/off valve. It might explode! |
| Electrical worker: | Remember to switch off the water heater after using it. And make sure you get it checked and maintained regularly. |
