    Extension cords?

    Hey all! It's finally time to upgrade my girl's tub and the way my apartment is wired, it would be easiest to me to plug both my CHE and UTH into an extension cord (had to change tub location due to larger size, no suitable outlet in new location b/c the one there is on a light switch...I'd be constantly forgetting and turning off her heat). With the old set-up, I use one of those outlet extenders that has three places to plug in, and I have a thermostat for each heat source using two of them. Since I know the old outlet works and isn't on a switch, would it be dangerous to simply plug an extension cord into it and put the splitter on the end? I for some reason recall that you shouldn't use extension cords with UTHs, but I don't know if thats myth or something I made up in my head or actually a real concern. Thanks in advance!!
