your hand after handling this product.
It is your sole responsibilities to verify that the plug and the receptacle 

are clean and free of moisture and salt build up at all times. The 

receptacle must be free of water, salt, calcium, 

magnesium and dust. Failure to do so can cause 

fire, damage to property, permanent damage to

circuit supplying all power to water pumps and 

electrical aquarium equipment. If you do not have 

a GFCI, have an electrician install one prior to 

operating any aquarium component.
