That sounds horrible 🤣

You must have the strength of The Mountain from GOT :laughblue: My soil can have pockets of clay in it. You wouldn't recommend renting a hammer drill? I've seen it done with water and tap it in, but why do that when you can use power tools ;).

Hello, 2022! Quick update, just for information purposes. The voltage is still present, but I did fix the bonding wire on the pool light. Granted, when I redo my liner I will have them replace the wire with a solid bonding wire (stranded sucks). We do plan on purchasing a saftron railing as...

The pool is officially closed for the winter. I'll sporadically check the voltage around the pool, but I personally don't know what my plan will be for next season; besides keeping the railing detached and have covers over the anchor holes.

Gotcha. The post with the video made it sound like that may have been a "Yes" for the railing being bonding based on the scenario. Basically, replace both the shallow end railing and deep end ladder with a Saftron product?

@JamesW @mas985 Both of you have concluded that the railing is properly bonded. If the railing seems to be checking out, then is mas985 correct about a potential leak in that area?

@Mike1162 While I was working on closing the pool for the winter, I did a few measurements like before with the screwdriver far away from the pool area. The deep end ladder anchors: 72mV I removed the bonding wire from the pump and these are the readings: Shallow end anchors: 140mV Shallow...

I can plan to do this, hopefully, this week depending on my other tasks. The readings previously didn't matter if the pump was running or not.

The bonding wire from the pump hits that corner first. If the bonding points on the We were trying to identify the source of the stray voltage that has been plaguing my ground/neutral bar. If we remove the ground wire that attaches to the timer and pump, the voltage goes away. The hunt...

Dynamite sounds exciting........💥

I had the common lead connected to the ground wire coming off of the screwdriver and only using the positive lead to test. I was replying during work, and it looks like I really shouldn't have 😜

No, this was a different test with my ground/common lead connected to the screwdriver in the ground. However, the placement of this test has been deemed inconclusive based on the location of the screwdriver. The bonding wire coming off of the pump runs under this area, hence having around 120mV...

Understood. 50mV AC to water 1V AC on deck and increases as you get closer to the railing anchors .5V AC at the closest cover anchor 1.7V AC at the railing anchor

I had a screwdriver driven into the dirt, I took a #8 copper wire and attached it to my common lead. I took the common lead and put it on the railing anchor. The positive lead went into the water. Those results are using that method to measure the voltage.
