Hi,

Steps that i ll carry out to find out the source of current leak.....

1. Get a test pen if you do not have 1....

2. Unplug 1 equipment at a time than test the water with the test pen...

3. Carry on until you find the source of current leak.

the test pen should light up if it detects current..

cheers

i also experience this ...lucky it is in my tank cycling period......and i manage to find out the faulty power pump.

may i koe if this electric in water will 'melt' any plastic ..etc in the water ...? will hence cause contaimination in the water?

and will it kill LS in the tank?

when you test the water with the multimeter, what's the current reading? I have a small reading of microAmps, but cannot find the source of leak.

if u ground it to your plug's earth...it will trip your ELCB or MCB.

get rid of the pump or equipment, don't waste your time trying to repair (provided u have the knowledge and materials)

cuz not worth the time and danger of killing yourself and your love one.

usally it's the China products that have this problem, although the German stuff sometimes have it too but rarely...
