My issue was a Neutral to Ground issue. Called my power company, they came out today, and repaired the Neutral line. Now the pool is back to normal! He said I was the only person to call about electrified pool that actually had one (e.g. not static from a composite deck etc).

So, whoever called Neutral to Ground was spot on! National Grid came out - and sure enough, the Nuetral wire to my house was practically broken. He repaired/replaced it, and now there is no more electrification in the pool! Thank you so much for giving me the idea to call the power company!

With both breakers off for most of the morning, I am still getting shocked - so I have called my power company, and they are going to send someone. Will update this thread when they leave.

Here is the current pump, the the ground wire that is there. I remember on the old pump, the ground wire was bolted in where I show the arrow pointing. Looks like these WILL reach the area I have an arrow pointed to. Does anyone offhand know the size of bolt I would need? Would like to hook...

Wow - I must have posted these years ago! By a bond wire, do you mean the number 8 solid ground wire that gets attached to the pump? If so, the wire is still there, but not hooked up. I guess this will be the first thing I get to. It was hooked up on the old pump, but then things moved, and it...

Thank you for the idea - but no - good ol' subdivision living. Is there any combination of pool chemicals that can cause electrification to occur? I know my pool guy recently dumped in some baking soda to help the PH balance. Just curious if there is any combination of random things that could...

Any updates? I am starting to feel electric shocks in my pool too. Freaking me out.

My pool water has somehow become electrified! My daughter started dipping her feet while holding onto the metal handrail, and was complaining of feeling a shock run through her. Sure enough, I tested my wetting my hands, putting one hand in the pool, and holding onto the handrail. Felt like when...

Any recommendations on a NG heater? Something sturdy, appropriate for the size of the pool, and can handle itself if the water isn't perfect all the time?

Hey all - I have an old pool heater that ended up breaking and leaking. As you can see in the picture, it is now out of the loop (literally). The pool is 18 x 34 (if I recall correctly), roughly 20k gallons. I have heard people talking about heat pumps, but I don't know what the right...

"Low pH eats through copper. " - so I will have to keep an eye on PH. But if I forget, would it be best to put a bypass around the heater? So during the warm summer months, there is less of a chance to contaminate the heater with low ph water?
