will you be able to still plug things in ? went the hard wire route once and it makes maintenance the opposite of easy ! You know just plug out a pump or whatever and take it to the sink to clean.

yes it will have those pc plugs with controll switches to put on the outside of the cabinet that looks something like these with a nametag of each thing next to the switch,
these trip when too much power is drawn or if there is an electricity surge so it protects you equipment. (now imagine these with timers and everything)

From those switces they will go too these female plugs and the equipment will get these male adapters on them so its easy removal for servicing and cleaning.
No, you should not cut the plug on any electrical equipment else bye-bye warranty.
Better if you could go to Euro plugs, those stupid round ones. Then all pumps and normal two prong plugs are sorted. Also include a number of normal South Africa only big 3 prong points.

damn riaanp those south african plugs are just so damn bulky. wish we could get those plugs you got here in sa
Sorry You have to. Check out electrical supplies or electronical shops if they cannot provide you with Euro female plugs.
Like Communica. Maybe.
Also leave some normal SA 3 prong sockets.
It will still be a hassle to cut of plugs and to fit kettle plugs.
If you REALLY want to use other adaptors, go for PC connection types. Those cables and connections are a lot easier to find. And UPS units also use them.
Do not use any special, where the f... can I find it, plugs.
