Will GFCI work with items without equipment ground
I know it's probably a dumb question but my wife's hair dryer is old and has no equipment ground. Wanted to be sure she is still protected if it should be dropped into water or otherwise shorted.

That second one requires you to be VERY careful when you wade into the water if the sump pump ever does fail.
They make 12 volt sump pumps, primarily so they can keep running off the battery if a storm knocks the power out, but I imagine they would also protect you if you were wading in the water.
