Description
Our pool pump has a timer but in order for it to work and come on every day it needs to be plugged in. My wife and I got tired of having to unplug it everytime it rained and sometimes we couldn't get to it and then it would trip the circuit. So I made this to shield it from the elements while it was plugged in. We havent had a problem since.

Slightly off topic, new homeowner, beginner electrician question: I shorted one or more outdoor outlets with a pressure washer; how do I figure out which one(s) needs replacing without replacing all of them?

Maybe you should use outdoor outlet and plugs instead, would feel a lot safer ;)
