Immersion rod is very dangerous
Every year during the winter season, such news comes to light in which people die due to electric shock from immersion rods used to heat water. Immersion rods are most commonly used in middle class homes, but this cheap cold-protecting rod is very dangerous. If you also use it, then keep in mind that before removing the rod, turn off the switch and never touch the rod with wet hands. If there are children in your house, then heat water at a place where children do not go.
