Hi All:
I finally broke down and ordered the sand filter and larger pump for my pool. The little toy is still grinding away, pool looks great, but running it all the time is asking for trouble I am sure. I still half want to see how long it will last but I suppose keeping it for a back up is a saner idea.
Anyway, the Intex products all seem to come with a gfci built into the plugs, but we installed a gfci receptacle for the electric out there before I even opened the box. At the time I cut the male version off the pump cord and just used a three prong replacement plug. I am feeling lazy (and it is another 20 mile trip to town for another, or I have to take the one off the small pump) so my question is:

Is there any reason I shouldn't plug the Intex gfci plug into a gfci receptacle?
