You can take power to your pond/garden using a Blagdon
Powersafe Armoured Garden Power Supply and plug in RCD.
This provides safe, legal and easy DIY power to your pond or
garden. Other garden power products are available in the
Blagdon Powersafe range.
The Powersafe socket box is supplied with a mounting
bracket, four screws and wall plugs for convenient
wall or post mounting, contained within this carton.
If a suitable wall or post are not available it is recommended that a
Powersafe garden power spike is purchased (see Spares/Accessories).
This allows for convenient and safe placement of all of the Powersafe
range of switch and socket boxes. It is also ideal for installations away
from a wall, as it prevents damage from splashing and flooding whilst
conforming to electrical safety standards recommended 30cm minimum
ground clearance for outdoor power installations.
