So you're a semi pussy. I don't bother with RCD at all, even when
mowing
the lawn, or a submerged pump in a fish pond. It's 240V, not 11kV.

And that is where your comments become silly.

Why?


Your decision to have no RCD protection on the pump suggests that you are
a
fool. You have no control over the safety of the pump installation.

Since I put it there, I have every control over it.

And how often do you do a 500V 1000MOhm insulation test on the pump and its
supply cable?

About the same number of times as I worry about a very unlikely problem which isn't going to kill anyone but a goldfish even if it were to occur. Those pumps have IP ratings you know.
