Yet another extension cord issue..

[Glock40]

What about a Heavy duty extension cord (10-12 gauge) with built in GFCI?

We are going to be adding another outlet closer to our pool when we hard plumb. For now this extension cord is hooked to a gfci outlet. Coleman Cable 02687 10/3 Vinyl Outdoor Extension Cord with Lighted End, 25-Foot https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004SQF1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_YHUyzb3FMYWM5

We protect the connection from pump to the extension cord with this. SOCKiT BOX FL-1859-200 Small Weatherproof Powercord Connection Box 20044; Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009RX5GI2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_QLUyzbCK5S45Q

Interesting to hear the various ways that people have their electrical gear set up.

Here in the UK i believe that the a GFCI is more commonly referred to as an RCD (residual current device). Its normal practice in the UK for all the circuits in a house to be protected by an RCD that is installed in the main switchboard of the house as can be seen here

Would this negate the need for a GFCI/RCD at the actual socket outlet?

In North America your not supposed to have a GFI outlet connected to a GFI breaker, but no idea about the UK.

We just finished up our pool/deck and have been using a 50 foot 12 gauge extension cord to run our pump and SWG from a GFI outlet. No problems...
