We have a small fountain in our front garden, and a large one in our Kio pond for the waterfall for aeration of the water. Both are on GFI circuits. Different circuits, and they do pop on occasion. The one in front got to be overly sensitive, and I just replaced it. The one in back for the Koi pond is a 1/3 HP pump, 3000 GPH of Water @ 5 Ft. of Head pressure. It runs 24/7/365. The GFI has tripped, but once was from ants getting into the electrical box in the garden area, and once was after 10 inches of rain in 24 hours.
So GFI works for electric motors just fine, but they do not cycle on on off like a fridge.
