pump

The most likely thing is that the pump is shorted out. After it runs for a while it may be going into overload and shutting off, until it resets itself.

you got troubles...

If you are getting shocked when you touch the plumbing and you are getting
junk in youir lines it might be wise to call an expert before you get yourself of one of your family killed.

You are messing with 220 volts here and you should try to get it fixed right before someone really gets lit up. It sounds like you got a shorted out wire down in the line to the pump but it should not be giveing you jolts through the line. More dangerous things are lurking in the electrical hook ups.

You are aware that It does not take 220v to kill you, 110 will actually do a good job of it especially if you are standing in the tub, or you are grounded real good. It only takes a few seconds.

Call someone who knows what they are doing, or someone might be calling 911 for you or yoiur family.
