Static shock drain

frankiemacnyc · Mar 15, 2018

This is way outside of what I have been reading here but you guys seem to be explaining something that is happening to me. I have radiant floor heat. It’s not grounded. It’s class 2. In one home it works great. However in my bathroom it give a static shock over and over when i touch the shower drain or tap handle. I was told that the home is not properly grounded and that is causing the static shock. Does this make sense or am I getting the run around? Again I know it’s not about computers etc but when you guys mentioned the static and electric noise I thought I’d ask.

You should make a difference between "static electricity" and "electrical shock".
"Static electricity" is the kind you get when you drag your feet over a wool carpet, or take off a wool jacket and your hair goes straight up. To discharge it, you touch anything with lower potential, like the person next to you, or metal part of the couch. This is one-off - once you discharge, you wont get a "shock" until you "recharge".
If you are getting electrical shock while touching your showerhead, you have serios problems with your electrical installation, and you should call qualified electrician to look over it.
