Personally I think Rotary Isolator would be far better than 20 amp Double-pole switch shown Fig 2 as this allows for isolation and LockOff/LockOut

The cost of the Rotary Isolator is still quite low see URL below.  (Other brands and other Wholesalers are available).

    Should we also replace light switches with rotary isolators?  I have replaced many lamps over the years, but have never yet needed to change the immersion heater.
