Electricity and Water Features
Electricity and Water Features
Water and electricity DO NOT MIX and since most water features
require an electricity supply it is crucial to take precautions
to ensure the safety of anyone in the vicinity of the feature.
Since it is much easier and also SAFER to install the
electricity before construction of your water feature is
complete, this should be done in the initial stages.
The need for safety in outdoor electrical installations is
apparent, thus, all electrical work must be carried out by a
licensed electrician.
Before any electrical work commences check that the electrician:
• Is licensed (ask to see the licence) • Will provide you with a
Certificate of Compliance
NEVER use makeshift wiring for outdoor installations, it is
simply dangerous! Pond Pumps Incorrectly installed or damaged
240 V electrical water pumps in garden ponds, may create a
serious electric shock risk in and around the pond, resulting in
injury or death. This is because the risk of electric shock is
higher in the presence of water.
A 240 V pond pump should be:
• good quality and be purchased from a reputable retailer •
protected by an Safety Switch (RCD), that is tested by means of
the integral test buttons at least every 3 months • installed in
accordance with manufacturers’ instructions • provided with
cables that are protected against accidental damage • maintained
in good working order, including cables and any connections •
switched off when carrying out pond cleaning.
If any defects are found, switch off the water pump’s electrical
supply immediately and have the pump repaired by a licensed
electrician. Outdoor Lighting Incorrectly selected, installed or
damaged 230 V outdoor lighting installations may create a risk
of electric shock, resulting in serious injury or even death.
For 240 V lighting in the garden:
• buy good quality electrical outdoor lighting equipment from a
reputable retailer • make sure outdoor lighting fittings
(luminaries) are weatherproof • ensure lighting fittings used
for water features are waterproof • have it installed by a
competent electrician in accordance with manufacturers’
instructions • check regularly for damaged lighting fittings,
cables and connections • remove leaves and dirt from lighting
fittings
If any faults are found, switch off the electrical supply
immediately, and have them repaired by a licensed electrician.
Install a Safety Switch A Safety Switch (RCD) is a safety device
that switches off the electricity automatically when it detects
an earth fault and should be considered mandatory when using
power outdoors. Any socket-outlet that may be used for plugging
in portable electrical equipment that is to be used outdoors
should have Safety Switch (RCD) protection.
TIP
Consider low voltage equipment when installing water features.
