The outlet is running off of a gcfi at the house. If I put it near the pond that thing would be tripping all the time. I haven’t had any issues, I plan on putting a faux rock over it, the skimmer, and the air pump. I have to save up to get this faux rock, it will be insulated and have vents.Your electrical outlet should have an in-use cover. It's a plastic cover that allows you to close it (while you have things plugged in), protecting the outlet from the weather. There's a removable notch on the bottom of the cover where the wires can exit.
I see that your outlet is not a GFCI. Is it perhaps protected by a GFCI circuit breaker or feed by another GFCI outlet? A GFCI protected outlet is a must and is required by code. Please tell me it's protected...
