Looks like the RCD on the sex pond is faulty:
Diagnosis based on - it was full of water, when dried out worked a bit but keeps tripping. Connecting the pond directly to a plug FOR TEST PURPOSES ONLY it works fine.
I don't think there is anything fundamentally different between the above in-line RCD, and plugging directly into something like this:

other than that the in-line RCD forces you to use one.
Circuit is on RCBO at the consumer unit anyway. However electricity + pond + family needs due caution, natch. Thoughts?

I'm guessing that one has a trip current of 10mA, whereas the socket will be 30mA. It'll be fine though.
I'm hoping you are being sarcastic.OP: what is the trip rating on the dead RCD? I wouldn't want to get into a hot tub fed with a 30mA trip.
