Drip Loop
A drip loops prevents the plug or electrical outflow from getting wet. A “drip loop”
shown in the figure on the next page, should be arranged for each cord connect-
ing the water pump to an electrical outflow. The “drip loop” is the part of the cord
below the level of the outflow or connector if an extension cord is used. A proper
“drip loop” should form a U shape in the cord. The “drip loop” prevents water from
traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the outflow.
