When checking for stray voltage with a volt meter, where do you put the probes. In the water? I've never had to do this but am still curious of the procedure.

I started out, {because it was the grounded pendant and water contact that got me}, with a measure from the pendant, {red probe} to the water [black probe, common}. When the ground probe was installed, I dont get a reading now.

Unless you forget the ground is out and you're forehead arcs across to the pendant.
