Electrical question

[hunterbob1]

Good job lunatic

The idea of the gfi outlet is if you go to do something on pump or reach in the pit with water in it and the pump has a electrical short you can get electrocuted .Im pretty sure water will not trip breaker unless it's gfi protected . I would put a gfi for 20 dallors its not worth taking a chance.

If the outlet shorted wouldn't the breaker trip?

GFI trips quicker and gfi breakers are even quicker thats why most jacuzzis in master baths require one.

Put a gfi in. Do it yourself in just a few minutes.

Something to consider- if your outlet is down a series of outlets and the first one in line is a gfi then it very well maybe protected..

If you have a gfi near by press the test button and see if it kills power to the outlet you will be using. If so you're fine.

If not, I would just swap it out to s gfi outlet for a few $ it's very easy to do.
