www.shockalarm.com sells for 90-dollars, and is a floating device with a light that lights up for detecting faulty wiring, voltage currents in the water.
How's about a Marine Patrol inspection safety test: by towing one of these shock alarms from a paddled Marine Patrol kayak in and around likely leakage spots such as marinas, yacht clubs, and town docks! And, name it, the kayak, the M.V.P. ...... for Marine Voltage Police!
Like....oh nooooo....here's comes the M.V.P. on an unannounced inspection visit to the town dock......so quick....turn off the breaker before we get busted for our 30-year old wiring set-up which probably has leaks that we don't even know about.
You know the NH Dept Environmental Services has a public swim pool & hot tub inspector who will show up, unannounced, and test the public pools and hot tubs, located in hotels, clubs, schools, but not medical facilities, for proper chemistry and a max temp of 104 for hot tubs ..... so maybe they could add one of these shock alarms to their list of places to test for testing Lake Winnipesaukee.
The MP can buy a small blue kayak from Wal-Mart for about $138, start up a voltage leakage test program, and start issuing safety violation citations for unsafe voltage leaks.
Should it be done by the Marine Patrol, or the Dept Environmental Services or who?
Is this voltage leak issue a real safety issue or just a joke or what?
What the State of N.H. needs is to find a volunteer with a kayak who will spend the entire summer paddling all over, around, about, up & down, on Lake Winnipesaukee, towing one of these 90-dollar voltage testers, who would report all leaks to the appropriate authority ...... that's the NH way! ...... zap!
And, who is the appropriate authority?
