Blagdon 1040235 Powersafe Garden & Pond Safe Weatherproof Electrical Switch Box, 5 Outlet, Black

Robust piece of kit, easy to wire up and operates beautifully

HiI Have a big pond and have been using an old electric unit outside with plugs, changing to 5 way has now speeded up the pond cleaning and even on rainy days just makes the job so much easier. Just spend a little time planning what is important I used my air blower on my bead filter and always need pump swith so I can turn this on off very quickly. What took me 20 min now can do in 5 min. Comes with spare fuses and all equipment, took about 50 min to install wires are fiddly but worth doing right.

Great oroduct

Bought this as a replacement for another brand which had blown in a recent storm.Some of the reviews are negative about the construction or ease of assembly - we had no such issues.The unit is well made and the removable circuit board makes it much easier to connect wires, which was simple to do.The bracket for the unit fixes separately and the unit then easily slides down on top.Do not mount the unit before fixing the faceplate as the screws to connect the faceplate are tightened from behind.The unit looks good and works well, highly recommended.

It’s a five way switch and does what it should do. Genius stroke is the removable circuit board that allows you wire it up much more easily. This one replaced an older five way switch where the board didn’t come out was a pain to wire. Seems very well constructed and was half the price of the same unit at my local aquatics store. Also has a single 1000w connection for larger loads which may be useful, although currently only powering an aerator, pump and 2 UV bulbs on the 400w supplies

Due an upgrade from 4 to 5, good price. This box and brand is very reliable.

Great value for the money nice size good quality only problem is it's very fiddle getting the electric wires into the holders

Wires up easily enough, although terminal blocks could be bigger as standard guage wire just about goes in.Button #2 has no working 'off' function on mine. It powers on when I power the entire unit on, despite being set to off.Other than that, it's working and is tidier than my extension lead in a weatherproof box
