GFCI on what device?

So since I only purchased the GFCI Outlet adapter, what should I use the adapter on? The filter? The heater? The lamps?

I was personally thinking heater since it's in constant contact with water but I don't have a clue. I'm planning on getting the actual outlet installed here in a little bit, but for now I don't know which one to plug in the adapter to be the most safe (word? <----)

If any device is going to kill you, it's the heater.

You can get a multi-outlet cord that isn't a power strip and plug that into the GFCI adapter.. Just make sure it's a 3-prong cord or 3-prong multi-outlet.

Or GFCI on a cord...

Yeah I figured as such. I have a bunch of different strips and cord. I may just make the run to lowes and let my dad install it for me. (He ran all electricity to and from the shed). That way I can attach a power strip and be happy (:

Swap out the outlet now and save yourself the headache down the line.
