[QUOTE="jack2017, post: 445211, member: 29002"] Thanks for the replies The pump is a submersible aquamax 3000 - it has a UV light and fountain attachment standard 240v/50 7 watts for the UV and 13w for the pump 20W total. One electrician I spoke to said he only does indoor work. The others just seemed reluctant. (That made me a bit nervous - maybe as you say they might not want to dig - but I'd do that anyway) I'll probably find one just to check over my installation when its done anyway. My understanding of the regs is that this is not notifiable in England (but would be in Wales) I'm still wondering about having to ground the armour in the (plastic) box. Does anyone having to say about that or anything else. B&Q and wicks don't seem to sell the flanges/parts anyway. Also do I have to put an IP66 rated plug on the pump (if such exists) if it is going into a sealed IP66 rated socket box or can I use any 13A plug? thanks jack [/QUOTE]
