My girlfriends father and I were using the hose on the side of the house to clean stuff. We both felt an unusual jolt of electricity through the spicket handle when we used it? Never happened before.

From here, it sounds like two things happening
at the same time. First, some appliance or
device has an electrical problem, and is
leaking power to ground (and someone grounded
it to the water pipe). Second, the water pipe
isn't properly grounded to the earth.

This will take a lot of troubleshooting to find
the faulty appliance. And also to properly
connect the grounds.

Might be time to call an electrician who has some
experience with this kind of thing. Good luck,
it sounds like a real challenge to find and fix.

Could definitely be that. Or it might just be a missing
earth ground. You're scenario of another problem too
certainly would put more potential there. Just having
a missing earth ground would put some potential there,
how much and if it's enough to feel a shock, IDK

IDK that it's all that hard or involved, but agree that if
you're here asking, it's time for a pro for this as it
could be life threatening.

Interesting that nobody reading this thread has ever heard
of a voltmeter.

Some of them were recalled due to
faking emissions tests. So there!

We know what voltmeter is. Nyah,
nyah.

I don't want the liability of suggesting
a HO go working on live water pipe with
a VOM. As for me, I use one a couple times
a week to measure ohms, VAC, VDC, and some
times amps or farads.

Considering the people who write to this
list, that's quite a wild (and mistaken)
thing to accuse.

Try turning it off by the spigot handle instead and see if the problem
persists.

Which is why I said if the OP is here asking this level of question
on this kind of problem, time to call a pro. They already know they
are definitely getting shocks from the water pipe.

If this happened at my place, I'd go search
out the problem and write an after report.
From the writing, the OP does not have those
skills, and the OP is at risk of shock.

Wouldn't unplugging the appliance tell you which one it was?

Unplug half of the appliances, check for shock. Proceed from there by
either plugging in half of those, and checking or unplugging the other
half of the appliances?

experience with this kind of thing. Good luck,
