It is not the 110V zap. It is more like a strong Dr Ho massage zap.

I got that a few times and finally realized I have a ton of salt water with a ton of electricity in and around it... not the best combo. I went and got a grounding probe pretty quick after that. I suspect it is the Rio powerhead on my skimmer putting out a stray voltage. BE CAREFUL!!!

Same thing was happening to me. Measure voltage between the water and ground a the reading was about 32 volts. I install a grounding probe now the reading is around 1-2 volts. No more zaps.

So a grounding probe will work?
I have nothing in the DT except one Vortech.
Everything is on GFCI and nothing trips.

I am glad you were not seriously injured,

Now about the Dr Ho comment (rofl) that made me burst out laughing and got me an odd look from the little women haha...

Dr Ho.... Classic
