Hey friends, swimming weather is upon us so be sure to keep your loved ones safe by determining that any Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) are functioning correctly. They prevent electrocutions but only work when they are working properly. All GFCI protective devices have a test/reset button. Be sure to test before swimming.
