Dont worry about the brown stuff, just detrius and yes those are pods. As for the shock, dunno.... any other electrical sources near? Is it sitting on or near any thing metal like a heater vent etc?

What do the moving things look like? Assuming things you don't know can be very disastrous in this hobby. Proceed cautiously when introducing new organisms. I am almost positive the red/brown stuff is the dreaded red turf algae, definitely not detritus, get it out!

My guess is that you are getting a static shock from the furnace. The dust and dirt inside your furnace will collect and hold a static charge. Try putting somthing between the pipe that touches your furnace door. The pipe that touches the furnace door, what is it made of ? is it pex ? polyb ? cpvc ?

its not the furnace door its the mechanical room door and its not the doors as when i touch them to open them to shut off the rodi unit im groundedand no shock and its the plastic tube from the rodi unit. my sparky friend is stumped as plastic doesnt conduct and RODI water doesnt conduct. its how tds meters measure more conductitivity higher tds. well we will get a meter and get to the bottom of it ill let you guys know the outcome

Not to be sassy, but this makes no sense at all

And ALL water, RODI or not, conducts electricity. I would guess the electricity is coming from the water source some how
