A little better or worse to these then?

If they keep you afloat then what's wrong?

It is often said in this forum that water does not conduct electricity. At least water in plastic pipes it is said doesn't conduct electricity

Hence there is no danger to the people in the pool.

Provided they stay inside the pool and make no contact with anything or anyone outside the pool they are very unlikely to be in danger, the electric current in the ( non conductive ) water will be between the Live, Neutral and Earth pins in the immediate vicinity of the submerged plugs and sockets.

That is the theory DO NOT try to prove it.

I was told if you have a fault with a narrow boat from a shore supply it can electrocute a person swimming past it, but not with same boat in sea water, in see water they would need to touch the boat. It was once explained about the gradient mainly when fitting earth rods etc. Better the surface conducts the less area around a fault is affected.

In the picture since in a plastic pool current would flow from the line to earth of the item that fell in the water, so likely they would only have a problem as they tried to exit the pool.

When working for a submersible pump company we had a pump with two sensors on top and a current sensor so once pump covered it would switch on, and once it draws air it would switch off, no need for any floats, however they had problems it seems in Scotland where the water did not have enough impurities in it so not enough free ions for the sensors to detect covered in water.

Are they for floating supplies
