Why does your pool shock you There is a small current when you touch wet concrete and pool water at the same time. Could this be static electricity Please help?
CBerryhill
In a wet environment, static should not be an issue. The frist thing I would do is to shut off the power to the filter pump and check to see if the shock is gone. If you still have a current, I would check to see if there are any power wires running under your concrete. Is this an indoor pool or out doorpool. Ether way, I would look at any power sources such as outlets that may be wet in or around where they are mounted. Please leave message on my message board for discussion if you do not find the problem. RIGHT NOW - !!!!!!!!! GO OUT AND TURN OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS TO THE POOL - INCLUDING THE POOL LIGHT. KEEP EVERYONE, INCLUDING PETS, AWAY FROM THE POOL UNTIL THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED. YOU NEED TO CALL A QUALIFIED POOL TECH OR A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN WHO KNOWS POOL CIRCUITS TO FIND AND CORRECT THE MALFUNCTION. THE NEXT STEP THE REPAIR TECH NEEDS TO DO IS TO INSTALL A GFCI ON THE POOL LIGHT if it has one. THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE TESTED AS THERE MAY BE MORE THAN ON FAULT LOCATION. Contact Pentair Pool Prod. 800-831-7133. One of their companies invented a system to trace the most minute of stray current in and around a swimming pool. Do not put off the above imprortant actions as they may save your life. I say this because not all electricians know the codes for Swimming Pools.

What are the two basic types of electricity?
The two basic types of electricity are static electricity and current electricity. Static electricity involves the build-up of charge on an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Is lightning a current or static electricity?
static electricity
What are the five types of electricity?
Static electricity Current electricity Direct current (DC) Alternating current (AC) Electric power
Which is more useful static or current electricity?
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
The difference-relationship between static and current electricity?
Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Static electricity involves stationary charges, whereas current electricity involves moving charges. When static electricity is discharged, it can create a current flow.
How are static electicity and current electricity alike?
Static electricity and current electricity are both forms of electrical energy. They both involve the movement of electrons, but in static electricity, the charges accumulate on an object and do not flow, while in current electricity, the charges continuously flow in a circuit.
How are current and static electricity related?
Current electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductor, while static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on an object. Both are manifestations of the fundamental force of electromagnetism. Static electricity can discharge to become current electricity under certain conditions.
How can you use static charges and static elec to generate EMF or elec current?
Static charge and static electricity are 2 different terms for the same thing. Static electricity is voltage without current, usually created by friction. Voltage and EMF are 2 different terms for the same thing. When static electricity generates current, it is called a discharge and the static electricity ceases to exist. It has been discharged.
Is high-voltage syndrome an example of static or current electricity?
it is an example of current electricity
How is current and static electricity different?
Current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, while static electricity is a build-up of electric charge on the surface of an object. Current electricity is continuous and flows in a circuit, while static electricity does not flow and remains stationary until discharged.
How are electricity and static electricity different?
none, except:static electricity is electric charge without current flow, usually induced by friction between two different insulating materials.dynamic electricity is electric charge with current flow.when static electricity is discharged it is no longer static, as there is current flow during the discharge.
How does lightning realate to electricity?
Well i don't know about electricity but i know about static electricity. Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. When static electricity moves, it is a current. When static electricity in clouds discharges to earth there is a huge, very short current pulse (surge).
