Why does the faucet in the bath tub shock you every time you turn the water on?

dont use the tub or shower until you have an electrician check it out. dont know why its doing it but do know that water & electric dont go together. repeat dont use it until its checked out by a qualified electrician!!!!!!!!! My suggestion is that perhaps you are developing a static charge when you walk on your carpet and are releasing it when you touch your faucet. If this is not the case perhaps you have a slight voltage leak to your Plumbing combined with a faulty ground and a damp floor which is allowing your body to close the the circuit. I believe the static theory is the problem though. The composition of your foot wear when sliding on the carpet could very well develop this charge. Hope this has helped! Answer one is difinitely correct, while answer two COULD be correct, BUT if some electrical system fault is the cause, it could be fatal. I find it very unsuual in that IF static electricity were the cause, then the recurrence would be very sporadic depending on variations in temperature and HUMIDITY. If, as your question states, this happens EVERY TIME you touch the faucet handle[s], then the the cause IS NOT due to static electricity. Prudence and safety demand that a QUALIFIED AND LICENSED ELECRICIAN troubleshoot, test, and analyze the plumbing and electrical system to determine the cause.

Why does flowing bath water sometimes give you an electric shock?
It could be that a heating element in your water heater, if is electric, is cracked. This would allow electricity to flow through the water and be felt in the stream of water.
Why do I have hot water everywhere in the house except for my shower and tub?
You may have temperature-adjustable fixtures installed in that bath. For example, the Delta Monitor series lets you set a maximum hot water limit, to prevent scalding. Try looking up your faucet/showerhead model online to see if they are adjustable in this way.
What unit of measure would you use to measure the water in a bath?
1. Fill bath half way 2. Mark the level of the water with a marker pen (line A) 3. Get into the bath 4. Completely submerge yourself into the water, get someone to mark the level of the water with you still completely submerged (line B) 5. Get out of the bath 6. The water level should have gone down back to line A 7. Using a mesuring jug, fill the bath until it has reached line B.. keeping count of the amount of water you've added. 8. The amount of water you added is your body volume :)

Bath Faucet Repair Tip?
Sometimes a leaky or broken bath faucet is too difficult to handle on your own and you must leave it to an expert. It can take a while for a plumber to get to your house to repair a bath faucet, so while you are waiting to have it repaired, don't let all that leaking water go to waste! Place a bucket or large bowl under the faucet and use this water to water plants or to soak dishes in before you wash them. This is a great way to conserve water, too!

Proably the faucet has a worn out washer, replacing the washer should fix the problem.
What could cause the bath water to turn brown when coming out the faucet?
I think it has something to with your pipes not your water. Your pipes are must probably rusty and it is coming out in the water.
Your water pipes in your bathtub make a howling noise. When you open the sink faucet it stops or if you wait long enough it stops on its own. How do you solve this problem?
Could be the washer vibrating in the bath faucet/mixer. Over time, washers can degrade and become floppy or develop a rough surface. High pressure water over the surface can act like air past a clarinet reed. Opening the sink faucet takes the water feed pressure off the bath faucet, stopping the vibration.
