Bought new house with a pool a year ago. Luckily found this site pretty early on, so we had no issues last year, closing or opening this year. Had to complete our first slam about a week ago because we had gotten lazy but everything is great with that now. Now, onto my concern. When we closed the pool last year, we had a metal ladder that looked to be on its last leg, so we threw it out and got a Sfatron ladder. Recently I had a few small cuts on my fingers, and now feel a slight tingle, and I am thinking the old metal ladder is what was used to bond the pool water. I am going to get some bare copper wire today to wrap around our step handle (still metal) and drop into the water and see if I still feel the tingle. Is that a good test? If that fixes the problem, what can I do as a permanent solution? Also, I mention the slam because during the slam I did remove the light from the niche, or tried to. I took the screw out and removed the light, but the wiring wasn't long at all, could only get it about 6" out of the niche, so I just had it sitting at the front of the niche for a day during the slam, then put it back into the niche. Could this also have caused an issue with the bonding? I have only noticed the tingle since the cuts on my finger, so I cannot be sure if this started before the light (but after the ladder change) or just started after I removed the light and put it back.
