For permanent installations to the mains supply, it is necessary to conform to the regulations of the local
electricity authority and this would include the use of a metal or plastic conduit to protect the cable.

pond UVC (i.e. local building regulations).
This UVC must not be used in swimming pools, or areas where people are in contact with the water.

maintained or handled. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt about wiring this product
