LoL. I would suggest that next time you have that event, try pressing all plugs
into their respective outlets firmly and see if that doesn't make the "shock
test" easier to perform.

Can a PS generate current into the sump that it is sitting in ? Last
night
I was able to put my hand into my sump, now, 8 hours of running time
later,
I get a mild, but nonetheless unpleasant shock that does not seem to
discharge or kick my GFCI.

Any ideas ? I don't think troubleshooting this is going to be easy. I
guess
I could use a multitester with on probe in the sump, but where would I put
the ground ? If the voltage was being caused by a regular electrical
short
then the GFCI should have tripped but it did not. So, where do I put the
ground from the voltmeter ?




ok, never mind, seems like the problem is in the Mag 7. I swapped it out
for another Mag 7 and it didn't shock me. What a crappy way of testing for
the problem...ok, stick my finger in the water a little bit and see if I
feel anything, nothing ? ok, put my whole hand in, no shock, ok, found the
problem. It was only a little shock but enough to let me know that there is
a problem.
