IntermaticIG1200RC3 Surge Protector, Gray

hooked up easy

Living in the South, we have a lot of electrical storms during Spring and Summer. After one very close and very violent one, we noticed that our pool equipment was not functioning as it should. Called our pool equipment warranty and they came out to look at it. The electrical board and the pump appeared to suffer electrical damage. We did not have a strike directly on our property, or anywhere nearby that we could determine, but agreed that it appeared to be lightning induced damage. Although the company replaced the equipment, they recommended that I purchase one of these. I did not even know they existed.The Pro'sThis is small and easy to connect. (you probably want to have an electrician do this)It has a glowing green LED that can easily be seen at night from far away to let you know ifs workingIt will protect our very expensive equipment from damage for a low costInstructions were easy to follow, very few tools needed for installThe NegativesNone so far. We have had several close lightning storms and no damageHighly recommended for protection. Its not inexpensive, but much cheaper and convenient than replacing electronics due to lightning damage.

Great price easy installation and protects the whole house

Anecdotal experience is the only 'real' way to rate the protection afforded by this device. In a previous home, I got tired of loosing light bulbs when storms passed through my area. We were lucky: never lost any high-end electronics! After installing the predecessor product in our home: Volia! No more blown light bulbs!After moving to our new home, I immediately ordered and installed this Whole House Surge Protector. It sits quietly to the right of our breaker panel and the green LED tells me it is operational. Time will tell, but if past experience is an indicator, I have nothing to worry about!Recommended!

Was pretty easy to install
