Hello GdestOmar,

I'll let the electrical experts answer your question.
We had an electrican handle our outdoor work.
But I do know a GFI (ground fault interrupter) is available at hardware/home
stores.

I do know about keeping turtles outdoors.
Where abouts in the country/world are you located?
We are in SE WA state. Our pond will freeze over for a week at a time. With
small, closed systems like ponds it is important to keep a hole open in the ice
for gas exchange.
Turtles will burmate the winter away given the opportunity. Cold air temps,
cold water temps and they slow down (being cold blooded) and will snooze away
the winter on the bottom of their pond.
