    : My son and wife have gotten shocked while : touching either a shower (probably hot spigut) faucet and the outside spigut. It : hasnt happened to me or our daughters, but : just to my wife and son. It is extremely : intermittent, but nevertheless, shocking. : Well guy says its electrician, Electrician : says its the well. Where do I go from here? : ANy help would be greatly appreciated. : ThanksGet a Master Electrican to make sure you have a ground wire connected to a METAL water main pipe. If not then use and earth ground. You may also ask your LICENSED electrican to install A GFI ( ground fault interupter) in every room where water and electricity are. Laundry room, kitchen, bathroom and one on the Sump pump or water Pump. A GFI is a life saving device that will cut power in one cycle ( approx one second) to prevent shock.What you have here sounds like a bad ground problem. GL sylvan
