Hello All,
I have made our pool off limits at the moment after my girls stated they were getting a minor shock at the steps railing (metal) and the diving board area (metal base). No issues at the metal ladder. We have no light so nothing else to consider.
Anyhow, everything is bonded at the equipment (pool timer and pumps). The pool ladder seems to be properly bonded to the equipment as continuity shows via multi meter. However, there does not appear to be continuity between the railing or diving board to each other or to the equipment.
In addition, I am getting a voltage reading of 1.5v and 2.0v at the steps railing and the diving board. The ladder shows no voltage at all. I'm not sure where this current is coming from because I turned off all of the power to the house at the entrance panel and the voltage still showed. I'm assuming it is a stray current coming from nearby whether a neighbors house or some power company equipment?
Just FYI, we have a minor pool leak at the moment so the ground at the bottom of our sloped yard is staying wet. I supposed this is contributing to the issue.
Any input.
Thanks,
Ralph
