The galvanic isolator prevents electrolytic corrosion. It blocks low voltage DC currents that enter your boat via the shore power earth wire. These currents can cause corrosion to the boat’s underwater metals, like the hull, propeller, shaft, and so on. The galvanic isolator consists internally of two diodes which are connected in anti-parallel fashion. When they are connected in this way, the diodes allow current in both directions but only above a certain threshold voltage. The voltage at which diodes conduct is about 1.4 Vdc.
The isolator is installed directly behind your boat's 230V connection. The forward voltage from the galvanic isolator is higher than the potential difference between metals. As a result, this voltage will not allow conduction and as such, the galvanic isolator will prevent any electrolytic current. However, if there is a (higher) error voltage in the AC circuit, the diodes will allow current through and the residual-current device will break the circuit.

Our geyser is in the garage downstairs. Which means everytime we have to check the water temperature we have to go outside and adjust temperate controller in the garage. With this item we are now able to control our water temperature with app. It was easy to install and works great with the app..no more cold showers.
The previous lamp from Livestainable lasted 30 months with 17 hours On/7 hours Off per day. Easy bulb replacement for whole-house water sterilisation & filtration system (also bought from Livestainable).
ALWAYS remember to wipe the tube off with alcohol swab before installing to prevent premature lamp failure and never look into the powered lamp as severe eye damage will occur. Insert fully into steriliser before switching on.
Didn't wait long for package to arrive at my house and product is good quality and easy to assemble, I'm very happy with this product and will gladly buy from this store online again.
