Lots of good thoughts here.

I did find the faulty piece of equipment t (my Maxijet 1200) so good news there.

I do have a GFCI and all of my power is mounted high so water can't travel up the cord. It is an in wall tank with a utility room behind it so I have a tonne of space to mount the power up high.

What I had wished was that as soon as I dropped the Maxijet into the water (just after cleaning) and as soon as I plugged it in, something should have tripped. It did not. I just felt the voltage once I put my hand in the tank. Then tested and saw 32 volts.

The solution of finding the problem and fixing it might be too late... If you get electrocuted first.

I have a Neptune apex. They should make a module to detect stray voltage. That way, you'll know before you stick your hand in the tank.
