- To avoid the possibility of the filter plug getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall mounted outlet to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet or plug. A "drip loop", shown in the figure below, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting the filter to the outlet. The "drip loop" is the part of the cord below the level of the outlet, or the connector. If an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the outlet. If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to the filter. Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the outlet.
