If your saltwater pool sometimes stings your skin could it be electrical voltage or is it the salt?

I doubt it would be either, unless you've got a sunburn or otherwise irritated skin, which case the salt might sting a bit. But then, the ocean is much saltier, and it doesn't really sting. I'd say check your overall water chemistry. Make sure your chlorine and pH levels are right.

It sounds like you have stray voltage. You need professional help with this one. Someone who is qualified to do trouble shooting on voltage leaks to the pool. Do you get this feeling when you touch anything metal which is connected to the pool? Do you have a pool light. Is there water inside the lens of the light? This or a few other things may be causing the problem but I doubt it is an imbalance in water chemistry. Is all the equipment grounded? Do you know if the equipment is "bonded" electrically? Is there a GFCI connected to the pool light?
If this is an itchy feeling then your pH and total alkalinity are not within the proper ranges. Adjust these to 7.5 - 7.8 and alk to 80 -120 ppm. k

if you put vinegar on wasp stings it will help because wasp stings have alkali in it and vinegar is a weak acid but bee stings are different they are acidic so if you put toothpaste on it it will help (try not to get bee stings mixed up with wasp stings because it will hurt even more if you put toothpaste on wasp stings or vinegar on bee stings)
