Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator STS-00 SinkTop SwitchCustomer Review: It saves adding a circuit to the house for instant hot water Summary: 5 Stars
This is a nifty little dual outlet switch box that can let you avoid adding another circuit for all the stuff piling up under the sink (in my case I have a grinder, HC-View instant hot water heater, and a water filter system). In the two outlet version, outlet #1 is normally powered while outlet #2 is off. When the switch gets pressed (for running the grinder for example) outlet #1 turns off while #2 is powered. When you turn the grinder off, outlet #1 turns back on again. This is great because if you also want to add an instant hot water unit, you never see the loads of both the grinder and instant hot water at the same time. This is key because the dishwasher is often on the same circuit as well! All three loads at the same time could pop your house circuit breaker and so your options (if the wiring is potentially marginal to begin with) are to add this switched outlet, put a second circuit to the sink, or put in beefier wiring. Putting this in also allowed me to put in a GFI outlet which should have been there anyway (but wasn't).
This was a nice, clean, and easy install that solved what could have been a much more expensive problem for me.
The product lit was not entirely clear that the outlet function was either/or and not both. I did call and confirm this before purchasing.
