An electrical current can be generated in a pool from multiple sources, even when the pool is not running. This current must be controlled to meet new building codes and to prevent corrosive damage to metal pool components. This is a is a key step in building a quality modern pool. Pool Defender is the simple way to guard the entire pool. • Electrical currents present in the pool are enhanced in saltwater, causing corrosive damage to metal pool parts even when the pump is off. • The zinc anode provides an easier path for electrical current, protecting expensive metal pool components. • Simply and easily replace the inexpensive zinc anode after about half has eroded. • When properly bonded, the Inline Pool Defender can help protect the entire pool from galvanic corrosion.
I have a constant 530 mV potential between the pool and areas in contact with the ground (i.e., handrail, concrete perimeter). Do you think this will eliminate the tingling sensation we feel at times. If so, my salt cell is installed in a 2-inch return line from the sand filter. Does the sacrificial anode get installed on the downstream (outlet) side of the salt generation cell? Thanks for any help. I purchased a variable speed pump from you earlier and I really like it.

A zinc anode will never hurt a pool, however, we do not think it will be enough to solve your issue as you mention you feel tingling. 1 millivolt is about the equivalent of 1000th of a volt. We have to recommend you have an electrician or pool company check your grounds to everything on your pool, starting with your light.
