What to do if when bathing in the bathroom the water beats an electric shock?
Hello. Please tell me, recently, in a private house, only in the bath when bathing, the water began to be shocked. More precisely, if you bathe and touch the wall of plastic. There are no wires there, the water heater is off, the washing machine too.

If water beats current, then somewhere there is a leakage of current. If the appliance is not currently in operation in the bathroom, then one of the reasons may be a violation of the integrity of the insulation of the wiring in some area or insufficient protection from moisture of the lamp, socket or junction box (if one is located in the bathroom). When bathing in the bathroom, humidity is higher and moisture condenses on the surface of the wall and if somewhere there is an unreliable insulation of the wire, the lamp, socket or junction box is not protected from moisture, current will leak on wet walls.
Also, the cause may be a malfunction of the household appliance or the wiring of the neighbors - the neighbors may have a leakage of current on the appliance, which in contact with water during operation. In this case, when you come in contact with water from the water supply system, you will feel tingling, especially if the apartments are connected by metal pipelines.
For safety, in order to avoid negative consequences, the electrical wiring must be grounded and residual current devices must be installed.
