Existing electrics for pond pump and filter.

Can you post a picture of your consumer unit just so i can see if you have an RCD protecting the socket circuits.

An FCU is that switch you have above the double socket which the cable from outside goes into. Basically its a switch with a fuse to protect the outgoing cable, this is known as a fused connection unit (FCU), the fuse in it is most probably a 13amp one which isn't providing the correct protection to the pump/filter which should most likely be fused at 3amps, if you changed the fuse to a 3amp this would then restrict what you can plug into the socket as any high powered appliances would cause it to blow.

The hi-tuff being buried isn't really correct, it should be an armoured cable, i just wanted to know how deep it was to see if its at risk of being damaged by a spade, i suppose it depends on how likely you are to start hacking away at your lawn with a spade

As i say its not a dangerous installation but needs tidying up. An easy and not so costly solution would be to remove the socket if you can live without it and just move the switch to a better location, then replace the fuse in the FCU for a 3amp one.

All the best
Dan

First, the pond filter is to retain depends on the biological health of its entire pond water. Plants and fish do need care and a healthy place to live. A electric pond filter on the market to buy, usually in a physical method to remove environmental pollutants. But the electrical pond filter does the opposite environment among others. Another thing is that it can be function as a convert to this more in the form of nitrate and ammonia in the pond plants.

It takes them a while to come up to speed on technical things.
