The only conclusion that's incorrect is if you think the current will
"choose" one path over the other, as if it were a switch.  It will divide
among all possible paths, and I'll leave it to you to decide how much and
where.  Meanwhile, I'll watch, rather than getting into that pool.

I must live in a unique town, if the comments (or lack) are any indication.
The tap water here in S. California has a legendary amount of minerals
dissolved in it, and conducts very well.  So would any swimming pool, if
they've thrown chemicals into it.

I've owned at least two examples of a "vaporizer", sold in the local
drugstore for very little money.  It's a small water tank made completely o=
f
plastic, except for the two electrodes sticking down into the water.  Attac=
h
to 110V mains, and wait 30 seconds.  The advice is to add a pinch of salt i=
f
nothing happens after a minute.  Using the water here, you will hear the
water starting to heat after 10 seconds, no salt needed.  The water boils,
projecting steam into the air.  It's an old-time remedy for congestion.
Nowadays they make ones that ultrasonically disperse the water, so I don't
know if these still exist.  At their cost, I bet they do.

Anyway, no significant amounts of O2 or H seem to be generated.  There were
no warnings to that effect on the box.  A swimming pool, being located
outdoors is rather ventilated compared to any gas you might generate there.
And then they throw chlorine into the pool water which you can smell
anyway.

I once made a power resistor (DC) using a glass of salt water and two
wires.  Later, someone told me the reason the water was turning green was
that I was generating chlorine!  But I seem to have survived, despite doing
this in a closed room.
