Any Issue With Having Powerstrip in Cabinet with Sump?

[BiggDirty]

Hi guys,

Is there any issues with putting a power strip within the cabinet with my sump? I have a Wyze 6 plug power strip that I was wanting to put in cabinet beside my sump. Can you foresee any issues with corrosion or with it being in close promixity to the salt water? I'm guessing it would be smart to mount it on the side instead of just being on the floor of the cabinet in case water spilled from the sump?

Thanks!

The contacts will eventually corrode from the evap.....and do not put on floor if you decide to do it...... best to mount outside

Best make all plugs have loops in their wire to prevent water from dripping into Power strip.

If you can also, I like to mount horizontally sideways as opposed to the receptacles facing up or down.

Dj power strips work great if you don’t care about wifi plugs. Never had an issue with one and used them for 20 years.

I've got mine mounted on the side panel inside the cabinet with a sump. I added a 6" fan in the cabinet which blows directly at the power strips, and I've opened up a couple of panels in the rear of the cabinet to allow good air exchange. I'm hoping this is sufficient, if not, I will learn a very expensive lesson.

I've got mine mounted on the inside back of my cabinet with a drip loop (I don't have a sump under my tank)
