Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
Most people
understand that water and electricity are a dangerous combination. Water
conducts electricity very well and even a few drops in the wrong place
can cause an electrical fire, serious injury or even death. Considering
the number of electrical appliances (lights, pumps, filters, heaters, etc.)
used in conjunction with saltwater aquariums, installing a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter is a quick, inexpensive method for protecting yourself,
your home and your aquarium equipment.

is a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, and how does it protect you?
