That's interesting. Why not just use a GFI? That stops the circuit
from operating if it loses more than 400milliamps. I've never tried
it, but understand you don't even feel it when that amount of voltage
is contacted.

On the other hand if you are losing voltage into the water and have a
nice ground rod in the water completing the circuit back to the
circuit breaker box you may have about the same set up as a metal
plating tank. Adding salt wouldn't be a good thing...
