[ QUOTE ] If you really want to get it fixed just call an electrician. You don't need an Electrical Engineer for this. [/ QUOTE ] In fact, an electrical engineer is the last person you want trying to figure this out. One thing people don't know about EE's is they didn't learn crap about house wiring in school. They sure can tell you the about field created by the magnet in the speaker and why it hoses the TV picture when put next to it, but when it comes to practical crap like what color the hot wire is in a house, they're lost. [/ QUOTE ] I can attest to this being correct, for the most part anyway. I can help you install a three way light switch for your stairway, but that's about it, and it'd take 10 times longer than a good electrician. An experienced electrician is a million times better in this spot.

Sounds like the pool is not properly grounded.[ QUOTE ] This is definitely the problem. I have built inground pools for 19 years and this is a common problem. Call electrician, this is an easy fix.

I laughed at this thread too. I have an EE degree and I'll humbly say i'm worthless at this stuff. [/ QUOTE ] Me too. If you want me designing FPGAs though, I'm your man.

Aqua,
[ QUOTE ] In fact, I'd go so far as to say the cashier and cleaning lady may be at an advantage since the EE has spent most of his dorky life watching Star Trek and playing with his wookie and not worrying about why the pool tastes funny with the lights on. [/ QUOTE ] Why the pool "tastes" funny??

Re: The [censored] is with my pool? Elec engineers pls!
Don't touch the rail or go in the pool or sell the house until it's fixed.
Did you just get the tingle on the hand rail when you were all wet and standing on the wet ground (concrete?)? Are you 100% sure the light is disconnected? Get some wires and a voltmeter and check for voltage between the rail and the ground of you electrical system. (There will be either a grounding rod near your main panel or a wire (green or bare copper) connected to the cold water pipes or both) If you don't get any voltage you might try turning on the pool pump and see if that changes anything. Any other electical equipment nearby? Maybe outdoor lights? Wear shoes and stand on dry ground when you do any of this. Or don't do it and call an electrician.
