what equip goes on a GFCI plug

[mark]

Never had a false trip but did multiple ccts for the tank each with GFI protection, idea being if one did trip whole tank wouldn't crash (return pump on one, CL which will also aerate on other etc).

You only need one gfi and run the rest off the load and they all will be protected. Or go with a gfi breaker.

Really if you don't understand how a GFCI works then I would be hiring an electrician to install it. Improperly installed they are just as dangerous as a regular outlet, and will also void your insurance if the wiring causes a fire.

Everything that goes in or near the tank should be on a GFCI. As well other non tank related plugs with x feet of the tank, or any wet location should also be GFCI protected by code.

I have my electrian coming in the morning to take a look at what we need. I am going to do the bulk of the work myself with him overseeing. I will be going with all GFCI plugs. Thanks for the input everyone.

As stated before going all GFI plugs is redundant and a waste of cash. In addition to where you plug a device in, on the back the GFI receptacle has terminals for source (to breaker) and load. You connect standard $0.99 receptacles to the load side and they in turn are GFI protected.

Hey Gools,

who is your electrician? I used to work for a firm in town (on the computer side of their business -- NOT the electrical) and know a little bit about the outfits in town.

My next door neighbor is J&L handyman in town, so his electrician who he gets for reno's and whatever else. He's coming over in the morning, so I'll find out his name and let you know.
