Default Yeow! Stray voltage??

Keep your fingers out of the water. step one. but I think you know that one.

Next is get someone with a Volt meter. Put the red end in the water and the black end on a known ground source. Then one thing(pump or whaever) at a time plug things in until you see a jump in the voltage on the meter. There is your culprit. Then take culprit and take it to see the garbage dump.

Don't Don't Don't Don't test it with your fingers. please..

All it takes to kill you is 500mA. most of these gadgets use mroe than that.

Do you have a GFCI Christy?
