Title: Koralia
Post by: lazylivin on October 22, 2011, 07:52:57

The current Koralia in the Bethel school tank is leaking voltage. Does anyone have a 2, 3 or 4 they could spare to replace the current one?

I have one that I'm taking out of my old setup.   Never tested it for current leakage though..... never had any reason to suspect a problem.    I think it is a 2, the sticker on the motor says Koralia 750.

Thanks Paul

Cole, you can tell via multimeter or if you have a small cut on your hand you will feel a little tingle. You can also stick your tongue in the water :)

Yea I couldn't feel it so I tried the tongue method.... Funny stray voltage tastes salty  :tongue:

@Slandis (Mike)  Can you make up a grounding probe just as an extra precaution?
