Default Electric current when touching OHF

Hi all bros,

I've felt electric current when i touched my mr aqua OHF. But there's no electric current when i tried putting my hands in water. What i find it weird is that the ohf is plastic and i cannot feel any current in the water.

Thanks

Get a test pen and test any leakage before it is too late. What equipment in the tank?

Just a powerhead and sponge filter. Probably got to change the powerhead.

I last time had this problem too. But do check if the lighting got splashed or not. Cos once my lighting was splashed by water and current leak. No harm was found to my livestock though

another way is to put a EARTH line in the water... tie the EARTH from the 3pin socket to a metal strip and put it inside the water..

this always happen when you use those pump with 2 pin power.. if the problem get worst, go change the pump to those with 3pin types or get a good brand like ehiem..
