Default Stray votlage

So I i am leak testing my new set up and upon touching the water in the sump i get the nice little tingle of significant but not harmfull stray voltage. So I begin to shut down possible sources and determine that all is coming from a quiet one 4000 pump I am using temporarily. This pump has been nothing but headaches from day one so no suprise. I pull it out and use the reminder to hook up my grounding probe.
Here is where is gets strange
I then start the water flowing and once again feel the tingle of stray votage ...WHAT THE F>>>>>..... So I go through the detection process again.....guess what the source is....THE GROUNDING PROBE!!!!! no kidding it was the problem. I pulled it out and all was well with the world....not exactly sure how that worked but I do know it was what happened....

Strange...
