Here's a brief rundown of the details. I am feeling a slight electrical current while in and around the pool, especially on sensitive areas of my skin such as little cuts, scrapes, etc. The pool is new as of this year. The pool walls are polymer (not steel). They ran the ground wire around the entire pool which was connected to both rails by the steps and ladder, then to a metal post that was driven into the ground by the equipment pad (I think this is called bonding). So that would seem to not be the issue. I have sat on the edge of the concrete decking while I'm completely dry, dipped my foot into the pool and felt nothing. I then got into the pool for a minute and got myself wet, went back to the same location where I was sitting just before that, dipped my foot in and felt a slight current. I can only guess that being wet was the difference there. I can also stand in the pool starting at the shallow end by the stairs, splash water up onto the pool deck, work my way down the edge of the pool deck (which is concrete) and as I'm touching it, I can feel the slight tinge of electrical current. It may or may not be relevant, but the area of the pool deck I'm touching during this test is just about where I recall them running that ground wire under the concrete. I do not, however, feel any sensation of electrical current when I grab the rails at the steps or the ladder. The only other thing I will add, not knowing if it's even related or not, is the fact that after my pool was built, both my 220 breaker to the equipment pad and my 110 breaker to the pool light were tripping fairly often and seemingly after a rain. It didn't happen every single time it rained but rain seemed to be a possible common denominator. The pool's electrical company came out about a month ago and replaced both breakers as well as check the wiring which they said looked ok. They could not, of course, check every inch of the wiring to the light for example since the concrete deck was poured over a lot of those areas. I have had both the 220 and 110 breakers (the new ones) trip at the same time one time since they switched them out for whatever mysterious reason...but only once. I have never had the light on any of the times where I've felt the sensation so I wouldn't even think there would be power getting to the light in the pool. The switch for the light is up on the deck of my house. The guys from the pool company came out today and were not able to duplicate the issue, which was discouraging. He got in the pool, touched the concrete deck as I had done, etc. but said he felt nothing.
I thought I'd at least post it here and see if by chance anyone had experienced anything similar or had any suggestions on where to go from here. The pool guys wondered if the SWG could be causing it. Seems far-fetched to me but I think he was just trying to think of any and all ways electrical current could even be coming in contact with the water and since the SWG is electrical and water is flowing through it to produce chlorine, could that even be a possibility?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
