I was watching some TV show today, and a contractor was talking about GFCI recpeticcles, where to use them, and what should be plugged into them. He pointed out certain items shouldn't be plugged into them even though they are in the kitchen, like the fridge.
So what I am wondering is, does every item I use in the aquarium need to be plugged into the GFCI?
Mainly the return pump? If I am using an external pump, that is essentially isolated from the aquarium, protected from spills, etc.
This would prevent the pump from cutting off while I am away.
Obviously it seems to me everything else should be plugged in to a GFCI.
Am I totally wrong here?
