Yep both rio's shocked me

Does that mean both the old and new pumps are causing a shock? I wonder if there is a grounding issue. The pump should be grounded to the house power outlet. If it isn't then it will find another way to discharge built up static electricity.

No I have 3 pumps total 2 old (which did the shocking)and one new which never shocked but I wanted to see if I could get one of the old one to work for awhile and take back the new one cause it was kinda $$ so I'm just waiting for silicone to dry then I'll try the old ones again.
