Over the weekend I took off a HOB fiter from my 55 (replaced it) and thought I'd give it a good cleaning before storage. Took it to the bath room, plugged the tub, sat it in there minus the electric part, plugged the tub, turned on the hot water and walked back to the living room for something. ... the wife wanted to play around... so ... I returned about 20 mins later to find the tub (no over flow) draining onto the floor. Enough water to drain the hot water tank had leaked out and flooded the floor. Thank goodness I bought a shop vac around christmas time and the floor has a heat vent in it, most of the water excaped to the basement (unfinished) and to the drain via a leaky heat duct. Still got most of the carpet flooded and the wood wet... its still drying lol
Just my little story.
