Electric current in water?

It won't be $15 in Edmonton. In fact I don't even know if they sell them here in Walmart?

HD & Can Tire both carry meters, but not that cheap. I think the cheapest I have seen them at HD is $40 or so.

I’m not made of money but $40 still isn’t a bad price

You might be able to find one cheaper, but like most things we end up paying a lot more than our neighbours in the US.

I can find one here for $11CAD, and we don't get things for nearly as cheap as Canada does.

That would be a huge help, if Niki lived in NZ. lol

If they're available here for cheap surely they're available there for cheaper. I've heard Harbor Freight in the US sells them for $5.

Here you go: Walmart Canada $11 https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/DT-830...er-Ammeter-Voltmeter-Ohmmeter/PRD6OMI7OA43D43

Walmart only sells that unit online. I don't typically frequent the dollar stores looking for meters, but sure, somewhere in Edmonton they might sell them cheaper.

Niki doesn't even need a meter to figure out which appliance is causing the issue, all she has to do is unplug one unit at a time, as I suggested from the get go. Or am I missing something?

Possibly that "Poke it and see if you get shocked" is less than ideal as a method for troubleshooting electrical issues?

I actually think I found the heater causing the problem.

I took a closer look at one of the two heaters and the whole rubber top came off, I’m assuming it’s damaged on the inside as there’s condensation and a rattle inside the heater...

I just wish I could buy reliable heaters, this one was just purchased last summer.

if you can keep the heater top out of the water, it might last longer...
