Re: Pump/Filter with built-in GFCI and plugged into a GFCI o
I have a Intex sand filter with GFCI built into the cord also. Whenever power is cut off from the cord, from a timer, power outage, or even just unplugging it, it seems to trip the GFCI. In my case my outlet was not a GFCI, so I still needed to use the Intex one. I cut the cord after the intex GFCI and put a female plug on it to make a small GFCI extension cord out of it, bonus I now have a GFCI extension cord! I than plugged my timer into it, so the timer is only cutting power to the pump, and not the GFCI and pump, and presto no more tripping the GFCI.
Sorry 'bout the winded explanation, but long story short, put a regular plug on it since you have a GFCI outlet and it should fix your problem.
