just wanted to share real incident quickly about one submersible water pump.
it was working for months until i found nearby device somehow showing electrical charge using AC tester pen/screwdriver even though the metal didn't have any electrical wire connection. dipped tester in water it glowed. nobody got shock or "real zap ⚡" or harm since there was nearby way to ground ⏚ with most plastic n wooden stuff around. power off AC n water tester no glow - power on glows again. soon replaced pump with standby backup in stock - well motor is till working but it hazard. so any metallic items the water was touching will glow of course if tested when motor was on. AC voltage so long human body doesn't touch both wire or ground ⏚ no current with pass though.
