I put a plug on everything, so much easier.

I use these for the main filter pit:

And one of these oustide at the far end of the garden for the Heat Pump, (from a separate consumer unit to the filter pit supply) which is also handy for occasional gardening power tools:

Don't forget to close the lids before turning sprinkler on

Thank you, very helpful, sockets with inbuilt certainly try one of those !
I require a number of sockets in different locations so will continue with switchboxes
& they appear to be more substantial than my tatty ones.

No sprinklers here, just let the grass go a delicate shade of brown 🤓
