I have had a pond in the back garden for quite a few years now, fitted with a pump and a UV steriliser. The electrical items were plugged into a four way adapter strip inside a "dry box" style unit. All of these dry box units state that you shouldn't use them for a permanent installation. I can see why now. With all the monsoon rain we have had mine filled up with quite a lot of water resulting in a loud bang! Hence the reason I was looking for a safer and more professional solution in the form of the Blagdon Garden Power Switch Box.Things I like about the box:(1) Appearance and build qualityIMHO I think the box is more attractive than most similar units I have seen. Each of the switched outlets is illuminated with an attractive red or green LED to indicate that it is powered up or actually turned on.(2) The box has a three year guarantee. A good sign of confidence in the product.(3) The box comes with a small screwdriver to make the cable connections(4) The main circuit board can be removed from the case by just removing one large screw in the top centre. This makes it much easier to connect the cables.(5) Blagdon are a well established company and offer genuine support from their UK website including spare parts although I did struggle to find any available online.(6) The box has a removable back bracket. This makes fixing it to a fence etc easier and reduces the risk of water ingress by not having to drill holes into the main casing.(7) The box comes with a sheet of stickers so you can label each of the individual switches.Things I Don't Like About the Switch Box:(1) The manual is really too small. The text is tiny and hard to read.(2) You have to be aware of the limitations in respect of cable size (In fairness this applys to other switches as well)The manual says that cables of between 6-9mm OD are suitable. I wanted to connect my garden lights transformer but I couldn't because the cable was too small. The rubber seal would not crush down sufficiently to create a watertight seal. It's a shame they don't supply different rubber seals so as to accommodate thinner cables.Also the holes are the connector blocks on the circuit board are quite small. I had no trouble in connecting the pump and UV unit but the main cable feed in had a thicker mult-strand copper connector that was too big to easily fit into the connector block.

Installation can be a little tricky but everything I'm manual is easy to follow. Been up and running a few weeks now and still no issue. Only thing I could think I should have purchased a bigger one for when my pond is fully upgraded but will definitely purchased same brand. Personally don't look at the negative reviews I've seen too many and when installing I found then not to really be an issue.

wenn man eine saubere, sichere und unkomplizierte Installation sucht. Ich nehme das Gerät für die Stromversorgung meines Aufstellpools, die Anschlussleistungen passen dafür ganz gut.Sehr positiv: saubere Verarbeitung, gute Materialqualität, durchdachter Aufbau, selbsterklärende Anschlüsse.Eher verbesserungswürdig: es gehört ein Masterswitch eingebaut, mit dem man das Gerät komplett vom Netz trennen kann, sowohl L und N Leitung. Die Schalter im Gerät schalten nur eine Phase- das ist nicht ideal im Garten. Ich verwendete einen Notaus Schalter von Eaton zusätzlich. Weiters sind die Klemmen für die Stromanschlüsse auf der Platine echt unterdimensioniert- da sollten doch deutlich bessere Klemmen verbaut sein.
