I know I've seen this covered several times and didn't think twice about it until I actually went and looked at the outlet for my dryer and realized it pertained to me. I am planning on going electric with a 10 gallon capable RIMS or HERMS setup and was planning on using this outlet for power.
I'm pretty sure I know the answer is that I shouldn't use this as I won't be able to run a GFCI on it but for the life of me I can't find written confirmation of that. IT's a bit of a big deal for me as our basement is fully finished with no access to run new wiring and my breaker box is fully populated meaning the electrician costs just went up considerably. Are there any options for using this but then grounding through an alternative ground or something that I could rig up to be safe?
