Catching up on a few questions from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

Everyone,

Here’s two recent questions from readers that I’ve already answered a few years ago. See the links below…

What about dielectric grease?

Hey Mike,

Hi Mike, I was wondering if you could cover dielectric grease? There is a lot of controversy on some of the forums with many believing that it's use will hinder the connection and that it is "the worst thing you can use". I disagree, a solidly made connection should have solid metal to metal contact and push the grease aside, forming an airtight and moisture tight seal around the contact points. If there is a conductivity issue my belief is that it was improperly applied or the connection has problems to begin with. Thanks, Brian Winkle

Don’t Burn Up Your Water Heater Element

Hey Mike,

I seem to remember you writing an article about not burning up your water heater element when dewinterizing your RV, but can’t find it. Can you send me a link? - Eddie M

Hey Eddie,

No problem… Mike

Let’s play safe out there… Mike
