    Yeah, I wondered about using a pot as well...I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work except maybe the RPM limiting built into the pump. Of course I am about as electronically inclined as a rock.

    About the same for me. Only when there is smoke, fire, sparks, or I wake up with someone with paddles over me do I know if it will work or not.

    When I was 5 years old I was struck by lightning (really) so I think I have a subconscious aversion to electricity lol.

    I was standing in a foot and a half of water on a clogged cast iron sewer drain holding a big yellow Tonka Truck and I smelled something weird, stood up to look around and a ton of bricks landed on my head. The smell of course was ozone. My feet took the brunt of the damage (barefoot of course) and I refused to get into the bathtub for about 6 months but it could have been a LOT worse.
