Default How not to wire the pool area

First the assumption of a "floating" generator you expressed is not
guaranteed in the pictures, the source may be grounded on one side, in that
case things get complicated, the man can be touching the bottom (grounded)
and be close to the Hot side and get 220V.


That ignores the issue that the pool bottom itself is not grounded. In
fact the entire pool is insulated by the polyethylene (or vinyl or
whatever it is made of) from ground.

Now the instant the first idiot steps out and has a foot both in the
pool and on the ground..... Well BEST case is, he ends up feeling
like god it self, kicked him in the nuts.


Second what I wrote is based MY understanding basic physic principles,
before anybody risk THEIRS lives to verify this they should make their own
research.

Amen to that!
