D. To avoid the possibility of the pump plug getting wet, position aquarium stand and
tank to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto
the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop”, shown in the figure below, should be
arranged by the user for each cord connecting the pump to the outlet. The “drip
loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the outlet, or the connector. If an
extension cord is used, use a drip loop prevent water traveling along the cord and
coming in contact with the outlet. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT
unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to
the pump. Then, unplug and examine for the presence of water in the outlet. If
you are unsure, consult a certified electrician.
