Well you guys successfully scared the %!$@ out of me, so I just picked up three of the plug in type at lowes for $50 and put one on each outlet that any tank equipment is on.

Is there really enough current to kill you.
Or is it the same as zapping yourself w/ any other device. I've been zapped while working on my parents pool, soaking wet at the time, and it didn't come close to killing me. I've been zapped worse cutting electical cords when I was a kid-no death. |

Going to throw in my two cents, I do run a GFCI, but some notes to add with out any ground on the tank you should be able to put bare AC wire into the tank without it tripping the GFCI, the current has no where else to go so the is no difference of what goes in and what goes out to trip it ( you will prob trip the breaker but not the GFCI). Things with ballasts or transformers(Lights) depending on how there made can have a similar problem any current going to ground on the output side may not be seen as a ground fault due to the transformer or ballast being isolated from ground and will only trip the breaker and not the GFCI.
