It’s a correctly fitted external plug socket on the outside wall of the house, served by a consumer unit fitted about 4 years ago. I think I’ll just fit an in-line RCD, won’t do any harm and only costs about £15. Thanks for the advice everyone

I did look at this option, but I think the socket is borderline too far from the router to get a reliable connection and don’t want to open another can of worms

Risks associated with it turning on at an unexpected time are minimal, but thank you for the advice. Soooo, do I need to replace the active RCD plug with an in-line passive RCD? Or just change the plug to a normal one and crack on? The only real concern I have is whether I’m going to get...

Instructions below. If the link doesn’t work, it’s a titan TTB844PMP 750w dirty water pump. I’m happy to replace the plug RCD with a passive (latching) in-line one instead, but won’t if people don’t think it’s needed. https://www.free-instruction-manuals.com/pdf/pa_2655831.pdf

Excellent, very helpful. Know exactly how to proceed now, thanks

Hi All Thanks in advance for the help and advice that forums like this provide, I appreciate everyone taking the time to read and respond. I have a water butt that I want to pump from, and I’d like to put the pump on a timer. I have two pumps - one is a dirty water pump, and has an RCD on...
