Thanks. What I have is a grounded 1 HP lawn sprinkler pump, which is
plugged into a GFCI protected receptacle:

The sprinkler pump should have no problem with a garden hose on the output -
it's designed for that. A larger hose on the input might help avoid
cavitation damage but it is probably not a real problem.
