I wonder if it might be an electrolytic issue? Like how I can't put aluminum and stainless into the dishwasher at the same time? Or the old "salt water and chew aluminum foil between amalgam dental fillings" gag?
I'm a complete noob to pools and know basically squat about chemistry. I only know a little about electricity and low voltage stuff. But I know if you put two different metals into salty / acidic water, it makes a battery. I notice my fingers when there's a split or cut it's always a little more sensitive while healing, and that's usually when I whang it on something really hard. If your pool has some kind of electrolytic reaction happening, the slight cut in your skin might be the easiest path to some lower voltage ground if the pool isn't properly bonded AND grounded.
Different paths to ground and potential difference between grounds is a huge issue in the audio industry. Dad Joke: "Do you know why the speakers hum sometimes? Because they don't know the words."
