Hello Roy,
thanks for your response. We do currently have a high quality
weatherproof 2xsocket with a RCD (with a trst + reset switch) by the pond
but we are getting some pond lights and need more than 2 inputs - I can't
find any multi-switch with hardwiring (as opposed to sockets) that has a RCD
built in, so unless anyone knows of one it looks like I'll have to somehow
replace the switch which is inside the house with a socket, then attach a
plug to the wire coming from the pond, then plug that into one of the small
RCDs that will then plug into the new socket?

All a RCD is, is a circuit breaker or fuse.......and yes it owuld be
prudent to have the hookup to a circuit breaker of the GFCI
type.....Actualy if you already have power out to your pond now, I
hope you have such a device in use.....Its russian roulette without
one around water.
