I have been asked to install a small garden water feature that needs an electrical supply to run a small pump. The thing comes complete with integral pump and 10m of cable attached. It is to be fitted within 1m of the house and there is already a power point just inside the adjacent wall. This is a new house with RCD protection built in.
Is there anything wrong with passing the cable through the wall, putting a plug on it and plugging it in when required?
TIA

I hope not - that's how our pond pumps are wired.
The transformer should be inside, unless it says otherwise.
What transformer? The OP described a mains cable I thought?
Dave
Well so did I, but I've never heard of a 240v pond pump.
They are common and widely available.
Dave
Ahh, that's why I've never seen one then ;-)
I guess I've just assumed that a pond pump would always be low voltage, but I guess not.
Chiz, chiz, chiz.
