The voltage is the pressure in the line (psi).
The current is the flow in the line (GPH)
The resistance is the size of the line (pipe).
The power (Watts) is current times voltage.
I thought those furriners used 220V (more dangerous) so they could use smaller guage wires (less cost) and get the same power.
IMHO
PS, Yes it is the current that kills you, but, the current (flow) depends on the voltage (pressure) and the resistance. Are you wearing rubber soled shoes ect.
