    The best DIY advice for non vented electric water heaters is IMHO, DONT !

    Too much to be misunderstood or go wrong, use a vented type instead.

    Agreed, but some oversink vented water heaters have an annoying habit of dribbling hot water from the spout into the sink due to the water expansion.

    Mine does that, I simply accept it as being a very small price to pay for a simple and reliable way to heat water.

    The water heater came with the house and is suspected to date from when electricity was first available in the locality in about 1963. 1 kw loading, connected via 3 core cable with red, white, and blue cores. White core used for earth.
