There is a lot of power going through it. However, it should not get VERY hot and if it does there may be a bad connection in the plug causing a spark - get it checked out by a qualified electrician.

Turn Down The Heat On Your Water Heater?

Many homeowners do not realize that they can adjust the heat settings on their home's water heater. Although you can set your water heater to heat water until it is very hot, it is a good idea to keep your water heater's settings turned down to a lower temperature. Heating your water to a very hot temperature wastes energy. Additionally, if the water in your shower or sink is too hot, it could scald members of your household. Keep your water heater adjusted so that it does not cause burns or waste energy.
