That depends on how old the pool is, and what it is made for.
Many of the older pools are poured concrete, which would be excellent
ground connections when submerged.

Granted, but the pool in question is the one in the picture, a plastic
inflatable.

I know from personal experience that concrete is a good enough
conductor for electric shock.

Crom yes. I found that out a couple years ago with a machine tool
mounted on rubber feet, on a rubber cable with no ground and a leak
from L3 to the case of the machine.

Laid down on the floor to check something on the bottom side, and
reached up and grabbed the machine to pull myself up. Hot day, nice
and sweaty (big back sweater).

The guy at the next machine saw me doing the Trout out of Water thingy
and knocked me loose. For which Im forever grateful.

It was at least 2 weeks before my testicles dropped back into
place....

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
