GFCI Power Strip

[Dberg79]

Saw this while I was surfing at work. Thinking I may get some for my tank and let others check it out. Looked like a good price to me after rebate. Anyone have any comments on the manufacture (belkin & Stanley have been good on there own but never seen something made as a team) or price? Oh and can I only have 1 GFCI plug like this per circuit still when its a powerstrip or do I need 1 per strip?
Thanks

I wouldn't use that for a tank. I'm pretty sure that if the power goes out, that GFCI won't come back on with the power. It needs to be manually reset everytime it loses power.

I have the exact same one. It came back on after the power was out for 9 hours. Didn't even have to reset it. Also I dumped 4 gallons of tank water onto it about 6 hours after I set it up, and I can tell ya, from experience , that it will definately work like a standard GFCI is supposed to.

cool. guess it would work fine then. most construction grade GFCI assemblies like that need to be reset after power loss. This one looks like a good deal.

Doug- I originally thought the same thing you did. I was surprised to see that it came back on after the power outage.

Good price. I know I paid atleast $30 maybe even $40 for the same thing at Home Depot.

I think I paid 25.00 at Menard's.
