I've Got stray voltage...

BrandonS · 06/15/2008, 03:18 PM

Out of boredom I got my multimeter out. I grounded the one side out and put the other in the tank. It's showing ~22 volts in the tank. The heater is accounting for 7v and the sump pump is putting out the rest. I read in another thread that anything below 90v isn't anything to be concerned about and is just induced. What's everyone else say on this?
