Problem connecting to mains input cable
The unit is very easy to install with the circuit board fully removable so that you can insert the wires into the terminals., using the small screwdriver supplied. The only problem I encountered was that my outdoor mains re-inforced cable was too thick to go through the input (yellow) gland without the outer cable protection being first stripped back and then recovered with some cable sleeve. Once everything was connected the switch box slides onto the wall bracket supplied and is fully waterproof.

Does what it says
Installation can be a little tricky but everything I'm manual is easy to follow. Been up and running a few weeks now and still no issue. Only thing I could think I should have purchased a bigger one for when my pond is fully upgraded but will definitely purchased same brand. Personally don't look at the negative reviews I've seen too many and when installing I found then not to really be an issue.

Replacement of control box
Improvement on the previous model apart from the position of the terminating blocks which still do not make it easy to terminate the cables

Easy to use and well made
We have all of our electrics for the pond fitted by a qualified Electrician who set up all of our new and old equipment through this. Its muh easier to isolae individual pieces of equipment and only turn off what you need to for maintainance purposes.

Safe and Reliable
This is the second Blagdon Powersafe Switchbox I have installed. The seals on the first failed after umpteen years in use and multiple openings for cable changes, additions, removals etc which resulted in the gradual loss of the screws which clamp it tight against the seal. I cannot, therefore, offer any criticism of the device and I was more than happy to install another.At new, the led's are bright and the stick on labels for each circuit are clear. However, after a dozen years or so, I found that the led's faded and the stick on labels, well, didn't stick on. Neither were surprising given that the box has lived outside all its life, fully exposed to rain, snow, heat, sunshine and, of course, muck. Not only do I have no complaints in this regard, in retrospect I'm both surprised and pleased they lasted this long.In my experience this is a good buy. I've only rated it 4 stars rather than 5 for value because I really don't know the market and I was never going to look for an alternative.The internal circuit board is now easily detachable to enable an easier cable installation, a great improvement on what was sometimes a tricky action. Each circuit is protected by its own internal fuse which are easy to replace.

Well thought out product
I bought this product to replace an existing waterproof switch box which was anything but.I think its pretty good.I have one input and 4 outputs ( a big pump, lights, an in pond UV filter and a small pump).The first thing I noticed was you mount a mounting plate and then the switch just push fits over it. FANTASTIC. No grovelling in inaccessible places trying to wire in situ. You could put all the cables in, screw the front on, test it then slip it into place in my case on the outside of the pond wall. Much easier.The other thing I liked was enough space to make the connections. It was really easy even with 4 outputs. The front of the switch appears to locate very firmly against the casing, no fiddling with rubber seals again very easy compared to previous products.The switches illuminate amber when off, green when on very easy to see even in daylight.The only slight issue I had was my input cable was an Armoured cable and a bit thick for the entry point. I had to trim some of the armour steel sheath to get it in but it seems fine.Clearly only just installed so can't comment on longevity but it looks very sturdy.Recommended.
