It is as the title above describes. Well here's the story...
I have an electric water boiler, its somewhat old (2000), never got any service, circuit breaker unchanged dating back the same year, and until recently never shown problems ....
until two days ago when i was taking a shower and suddenly i felt an electric shock, obviously not lethal but quite scary. i felt a strong pain when the water hit my left hand as i touched the metal shower tap.
my major concern it is why this happened?. I usually turn off the boiler before taking a shower, it should not be any leaking... maybe i am mistaken. whatever...
Is there any way to test any leaking current?.
by the way is this problem common?, did anybody else has experienced this before?
