We have a lovely little 'water feature' (WF) it has a waterfall and a pump of course... the GFCI outlet near the WF started tripping, so I ran an extension cord from a regular outlet to keep the pump going to keep the little fishies alive.

Anyway I figgered that the GFCI was almost 4 years old, and they get a touchy when they get old. So I replaced it with a new 15amp outdoor GFCI. Plugged the pump in and it ran fine... for about 6 hrs then it tripped again... now I cant reset the new GFCI with the pump plugged it.

So we are back to the extension cord situation... and I don't like it one bit.

the pump is an Aquascape 2" Stainless steel pump 115V 280watt and it runs gr8 (when plugged into a non-GFCI outlet)

Since the fish are still alive I assume the pump isn't leaking volts... any insight would be appreciated.
