Has anyone experiences this before… I’ve had the Maxi-Jet 1200 sitting in the sump feeding to my chiller. Last night I was doing the usual cleaning and moving stuff around in the sump. I had everything disconnected from the outlet. I went to go plug in the Maxi-Jet 1200, everything was working…about 10 seconds later I went to go stick my hand in the water to reposition the pump and got a HUGE shock. I was sitting on the floor not touching anything else, only one hand in the water. My hand was stinging and tingling sensation for about 10 mins – it HURT a lot!! I check the Mai-Jet and it was no longer working. I removed the pump and continued to connect the reset of the pumps (return, skimmer, chiller, and power head in the display). Everything else was working fine.
Questions - What the heck happen? Did water seep into the pump and short it out? Why doesn’t these pumps and heaters come with a third prong to ground it?
