Good idea, but for £58 I'll come over and pull the plug off the pump for you.

That's what I did....lots of scare stories around since then of potential for damage to be caused that way because of the SBC unit being always connected to power unless de-activated - no idea if true or not!

I do what I'm told Merc techies do on homers. Lock doors and hide keys. Keep fingers out of calipers. SBC only activates when door is opened.

All true, disconnecting batteries also has same effect.
