I ordered a Little Giant automatic water shutoff switch. Anyone use
one of these? I'm supposed to plug my pump into it's plug, which in
turn plugs into my GFI outlet. Question is: with all that plugginess,
how am I supposed to close the cover on my GFI to keep the rain out?
It won't all fit.

GFI covers are not weatherproof according to electricians. Replace the
cover with the weatherproof covers that you can get at Lowes, Home
Depot, etc.

I think he already has one, but he's saying it won't close anymore because
of the piggyback arrangement.

Perhaps a right angled extension cord would give you enough room to close
the door. So plug the right angled plug into the back of the switch and
close the door? Then wrap some plastic and elastic bands around the
pump/extension cord join. If not plug the extion cord into the GFI, close
the lid. Then baggy the cord/switch/pump connection. Hide it under a pot if
looks matter.
