There is always a chance that it will happen, but as long as you buy quality components then the risks will be minimal.

No expert here but the answer is ..... of course that is always a possibility. Any time you mix water and electricity there is the potential for problems. 'Tis up to you as to if the risks outweigh the advantages.
