Reply to comment by Rakeallday in ELI5: why can't we use electricity to kill microorganisms in small amount of water ? by FreshT3ch

If I tossed you into a swimming pool and added a few volts it would not pass through you unless you touched a ground, like the metal ladder. Then you would be in trouble. So, you could kill all those tiny bugs but they would need to touch a lot of tiny ladders.
