Aquarist found dead

aww damn! well maybe i better get one of those, is it any different to install than a normal receptacle?

[Milad]

ive never installed one but im about to within the next 7 days as I build my tank.
Im under the impression is really simple. Just make sure you turn off the power to the outlet from the box. When I was a kid, I was changing the face of an outlet and got electrocuted... it was not fun... i couldnt let go and I felt waves going through my body.

ya im going to install one here right away. i have a few friends in the trade i could always take a look in my bathroom and see how its setup. With my luck i would end up getting fried..

Thanks for the heads up!

Cheers

Nice work on the DIY GFCI extension cord. One thing though, couldn't help but notice that there did not appear to be any kind of strain relief for the cable going into the plastic box holding the GFCI receptacle. Furthermore, it's completely open. I might be wrong and you may have taken care of that, but it's not apparent in the photos. You siliconed the male plug for extra moisture protection, but the box with the GFCI is pretty much open to moisture through that opening for the cable, effectively negating the the benefit of the waterproof cover you added. Not a deal breaker but a strain relief is required by code on any cable going into or coming out of any kind of service box.

The box also came with a strain relief clamp for the wire.
