Ummm.. electrical shock anyone>???

Sure............if you think that putting the actual motor in the water is the thing to do............there is absolutely no electrical current in the water it is all air blown from the motor, through the hose and into the mat.

No, I havent experienced any electrical shock but now you got me wondering?? I actually glued the body bubbles to a regular suction cup bath mat and it works much better. At least it sticks to the bottom of my tub now.

I just came home today and saw that one of my Livewire devices burned out during a lightning storm. This is unacceptable! They tell you not to connect them to a surge protector, yet they don't protect it against surges! How very convenient, that way you have to buy more of the damned things from them.

I am looking for an electric fence that shocks, I read the comment below by Joshua that says this system is cheap and doesn't shock. I haven't purchased this system, but by simply reading the product description you know it does not use electric shock. The description clearly states "a buried wire transmits a harmless radio signal." Not sure why I felt compelled to waste 2 minutes of my life writing this. Instead of giving merchants bad reviews, I wish people would just learn to read.

Not me, clearly a bent nail stuck in there. Im on my second one for misfire issues. I think while handy, this design is not ready for prime time !

Umm... No. Any type of spark from an electrical device is generally not a good sign. Due to the design of the heater there's likely minimal immediate risk (however, I am not an electrician; don't take this as gospel). I recommend replacing the unit as soon as possible.

You could try Witch Craft or perhaps you would be interested in buying one of my Nuclear Detonation Devices that will power up the mouse. Gezzus. Do you really think electrical power is something that just Happens ?? Some of the questions I read are amazing.

I'm not sure about a shock after a beep, but there is a beep and vibration. It may be that I just didn't experiment enought

It produces an actual shock to the target. I have not actually felt it my self but when the button is pushed you can hear the current run through the metal connectors.

Doubt it seriously. It's a heating element. No fancy electronic interface involved here.

I didn't have one. Sounds more like a power strip to me. I had the same equipment, each on its own adapter, outlet. I didn't have surge protection, it an was fine but could have been luck of the draw. If you want added peace of mind, then get it.

Where exactly are you feeling the shock, and is it a one-time or repetitive jolt or continuous? If one-time or repetitive, most likely the shock you feel is electrostatic charge generated by the friction of dust on the wall of the shop vac hose. There are ways of modifying the hose to ground the charge, which would solve the problem. If the shock is continuous, there may be an electrical fault in one of the appliances, in which case you'd probably be receiving a constant shock. I'd ask the shop vac manufacturer and Bosch for advice.

Yes. Shock will not work unless flashlight is on, and there are two separate buttons.

Not really!! Lightning is a beast and wreaks all kinds of havoch on circuits.

No problem, Susan. In point of fact, it *is* grounded, in a manner of speaking. Grounded to the grid, as it were. Suffice to say (and avoid allot of chatter about how AC differs from DC) that you're not going to get zapped by your sprouter. Or if you do, your electric company is to blame. The sprouter has a litany of faults all its own, but if it's certified by Underwriters Labs (which it must be), electrocuting its owners isn't among them (that I'm aware of). In all likelihood your motor will die long before any of this becomes an issue. Mine died within a month as I recall.

No idea, but I think it draws too much power for small wires. Connections may have corroded just enough for voltage drop.

It sounds like a broken wire somewhere between the plug and the heater. Or the heating element went bad.

If the breaker trips then the element is defective. The thermostat module may be bad. Masterbuilt customer service is pretty reasonable so give them a call. Also try a different outlet perhaps your ground is bad. Good luck!
