the National Electric Code (NEC) and all applicable state and local codes and ordinances. The 

receptacle should be protected with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

Never remove the ground prong from the plug, or use an adapter that eliminates the ground prong.

WARNING! 

 Never plug this pump system into an electric outlet while standing on a wet surface.
