Hi, Anyone encounter this?

Currently I'm running a 5x2.5x2 with a sump of 4x2x2.

My equipment is skimz 322, with a de nitritefier and a wave maker.

Everything was OK until last night my denitritefied make slot of noise and while removing my protein Skimmer cup for washing. I felt current in the sump

one of your motor might be leaking current.. you can use a test pen to test the water for electric current.

try to off all of them and them one by one and use a test pen to test for leakage, once you identify which one, you can replace that pump with a new one or or repair it.

most of the time, this pump with 2 pin plug will have this problem...

other method is using a ground prode and connect to the Earth of our electric socket... doing this only if you know that it it not a defective pump or equipment..

normally for me , when I choose a pump, I check if the power plug is 3pin or at least it is a 3 cable type, (u can see a grounding metal on the plug). then I will convert them to local 3pin plug type
