So my tank shocks me all the time. I’ve tried figuring out which piece of equipment is causing it(I suspect my return pump, but it’s less than a month old).
However I have some question concerning theory. It doesn’t shock me all the time. It’s pretty random. However my house is 50 years old, and I only have 2 wire wiring(and outlets). I wear my workbooks and stand on 2x4s anytime I stick my hand in the tank(sad I know). I think part of the issues is this room is the basement and cement flooring.
I’m about to run a new circuit to my aquarium area(Gcfi protected, the rest of the circuit will be daisychained of this first gcfi outlet).
My question is do you think this will fix the issues? I run brs titanium heaters(3 pronged).
I’m just slightly confused on the theory aspect, since the ground wiring technically just mounts at the neutral bus bar anyway, and my main panel is grounded to my water pipes.
