I have an inground pool with concrete decking. If you have a cut or
scrape on your body you can feel a mild shock or tingling sensation
while touching the decking or aluminum coping. For example, if you
have a cut on your hand and put this hand in the pool water, then
place your other hand on the concrete decking, you feel a mild shock.
This cannot be felt unless the skin is broken. A woman who has
recently shaved her legs will also feel the tingling. The is about .
8v of current detected with a meter from the pool water to the
concrete deck. Do you think this is some type of ground issue, etc?
I can provide many more details to anyone who has suggestions or think
they know what the problem is.- Hide quoted text -
