Hey this is an OT response to the above poster about why he got shocked and his monitor did not. Most likely when the monitor broke the pump he/she was fully in the water. The monitor was in electrified water but the electrified water was sitting in a (just guessing here) large plastic tub of some sort. If it is thick enough to hold large weights of water then it was thick enough to insulate from the ground and there was never a closed circuit. When you touched the monitor you were touching the ground, this closed the circuit and you got shocked. Had the monitor tried to climb out of the water it is very likely he would have closed the circuit and would have been shocked.
