My pond pump has given up the ghost, so I went out and bought a new one.
The has sudden thought - isn't there some sort of legal requirement
about who installs/ repairs pond pumps or rather home electric's now?
My brother and I put the pump in about 12 years ago and so we just
buried a cable in the ground in a conduit pies and fixed everything
together.
Do I have to get a specialist electrician in or a special pond person? I
don't want to find that I am outside the law when we come to sell the
house.


The socket next to my pond has a cover that clips into place making it
waterproof. The socket is wired using armoured cable and a leak
current detector is fitted. It was installed by an electrician. I
don't know about the regulations but I'm sure the electrician knew
what he was doing.

The job itself took a day and the parts cost nearly £250 so the total
cost would have been quite significant. As it happens I did a straight
swap for a PC that I no longer needed.
