something is not grounded, more then likely a handrail or ladder is the culprit, if your handy take a digital volt meter and put black probe in the pool water and red one on the metail rail and you will see a low reading probaly around 10volts. to fix this dig up handrail and throw it away or ground it.
i would reccomend a electrician

∙ 12y agoIf the wire is carrying an electrical current, and if the current has enough voltage, the current can leave the wire and pass through your body. This is painful, and can causes burns or death.

The severity of an electrical shock is dependent upon three things. Location or the proximity to the source. The second is amperage, the duration of the exposure and the pathway in the body. The third is the distance of the source.
A shunt resistor is used to carry a majority of the electrical current away from the outlet. This causes the risks of electric shock to be down significantly, but still not completely gone.
The electrical cleaning equipment should be grounded. This grounding is what protects the operator from a serious shock should the the cleaning equipment have an electrical fault occur.
A shock is something which causes sudden, heavy impact, a sudden electrical charge, or an amount of considerable emotional impact.
Backwash first then shock. If you shock and then backwash you will be throwing away the shock you just put.
3800 gals of pool water shock it with 1 gal bleach
Pool shock typically contains a higher concentration of chlorine compared to regular pool chlorine products. Pool shock is used to quickly raise the chlorine levels in the water to kill bacteria and algae, while regular pool chlorine is used for maintenance and to keep the chlorine levels stable over time.
You do not need to remove it.
Yes, pool water can conduct electricity due to its high mineral content, which acts as an electrolyte. This can pose a risk of electric shock if there are faulty electrical components near the pool or if an electrical appliance is submerged in the water. It is important to always have proper grounding and electrical safety measures in place around pools.
To shock a pool is to effectively increase the chlorine dosage to the max in order to exterminate a bacterial or algae problem.
No, pool shock is normally a really strong chlorine and stabilizer is like sunscreen for the chlorine
Salt pools still require weekly shock maintenance, but not near the amount that a chlorine pool would need. There are Salt Pool Shock Treatments out there for your particular pool setup.
Most people get an electric shock because of their own carelessness when handling electrical equipment.
shock it
I try and shock my pool every other day, or, if it rains, shock it at night after it rains (never during rain).
