I found the GFCI at Cdn tire. It was $26. Much easier for a guy like me to hook up than rewiring an outlet

I have one of these. Great product, only beef is the spring loaded outlet covers make it tricky to plug in timers etc.

Mike, just plug a power bar into the GCFI and put your timers on that.

Be careful about stringing powerbars together. Jamming all your equipment onto a single GFCI is asking for it. Better to distribute the equipment amongst several GFCIs so if one goes, your whole system doesn't. I keep the absolute essential equipment - the pumps/powerheads - on their very own GFCI circuit through a CanTire UPS.

I see I wrote "timers" I meant just the one Mike could not plug into the can tire GCFI
