    GFI outlet that runs my pond stopped working?
    I got home this morning at noticed my pond was not running in my backyard. I hit the reset button on the outlet where my pond plugs in go into and nothing happened because the reset button won't allow me to push the button in. I shut down the main breaker switch I'm garage thinking that should fix the promblem but nothing. Any suggestions? I did rain pretty heavy last night so I thought mabey it woulded have tripped or soemthing.

    I did follow the cord and it is tied into another outlet located on my side of the house. I noticed when I press that outlets reset button it popps in like it will reset but then just popps back out.
