Too many GFCI's on my pump
I have always plugged my Intex pump (see signature for model) into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)- equipped outlet with outdoor extension cords. My current pump came with a GFCI built right into the plug. I have two concerns:
1) I have read on these forums that having multiple GFCIs is not optimal
2) The pump plug often seems to fill with condensation, which trips the plug's GFCI and makes it impossible to run my pump.
Since I already have a GFCI outlet on the house, is there any reason not to cut off the pump plug and replace it with a standard three-prong plug? Electricity makes me nervous and I'm not going to do anything unless I'm really sure about it.
