    Being honest I doubt you’ll sell that on here, perhaps better cleaning and selling just the K1?

    Condensation, splashes, air pump bubbling water up etc etc could easily reach those sockets.

    I know you and me Feline don't agree on electrics and water but as an electrician myself I have first hand experience of what damage water and electricity can cause when mixed wrongly so feel the need to point out the danger.

    where is your sockets in your house. or underneath a pipe that could of leaked on them. must filter houses are only small.
    so if there was a leaking pipe under pressure would probably get wet. lol
    at least mine are installed by qualified electrician. to safety standards. and if they did get wet. would safely switch off. at the board.
    nice of you to tell people to be safe. good on you. keep it up.

    You don't want a fault to turn off a circuit or half your fuse board as it might not reset until the problem clears or gets cleared. By that time your fridge freezer could have defrosted and knacked all the food in it, your fridge could have warmed up and probably done the same, your boiler could have stopped working and if the weather is cold enough pipes could freeze and burst just because a bit of water gets into a socket.

    Been there, seen it and got many of the bloody T shirts

    Keep water and electrics apart OK.

    They might have been installed by a qualified electrician but that doesn't mean you can leave waterproof socket lids open and still expect them to be fully waterproof

    Get your electrician to fit you a second waterproof socket and if you need both of those plugs in that adapter to switch on and off together get an unswitched waterproof socket fed by a waterproof spur or switch.

    That's OK then, you'll only knock off your pond and filters systems if you get a problem but don't bank on it as if the board is fed from your house board then if you get a fault on your pond you could easily take out the house board or part of it too.

    RCDs are strange things as I installed a fuse board a couple of months back and fitted 30 mA RCBOs for each out going circuit knowing the site was protected by a 100 mA RCD. When I tried to test the RCBOs it tripped the 100 mA RCD because that had more small faults on it so took less to trip than the individual 30 mA RCBOs.

    That's quite a common issue when multiple fuse boards or RCDs are used.

    An RCBO is a combination of an MCB (miniature circuit breaker) or fuse and an RCD so you get the best of both worlds when it comes to circuit protection. But you still don't want to take the piss with water and electrics as nothing is 100% safe at the end of the day.

    I do respect it. But I ain't OCD about it.
    How do you think I reached 65 years of age. By respecting it.
    Why do you think I spent nearly 5 grand
    On electrics.

    I once had a socket with a lid on permanently closed. Kept tripping out.
    Called an electrician in. And it turns out it was condensation build up. Causing the problems

    Well that's a start Fred

    I'm only thinking of your safety and others of course with these replies so always try to give as much info to make my point. Personal examples are also there to try to make more sense of things.
