Abstract

A stray voltage detection system for detecting a stray voltage in pool water within a pool The system comprises a pair of elongate conductive elements, with one of the elongate conductive elements having a detector electrode end and a terminal end, and with the other elongate conductive element having a reference electrode end and a terminal end. The detector electrode end is positioned adjacent to an electrical fixture within the pool and the reference electrode end is positioned opposite from the detector electrode end. The terminal ends are connected to a microprocessor for measuring a voltage between the detector electrode end and reference electrode end. A voltage detection system for a pier, with the system having a pair of elongate conductive elements attached to a pair of corresponding pier pilings on opposite sides of a pier deck, and with the pair of conductive elements for measuring a voltage between the conductive elements.
