Three children, aged 10, six and five, suffered electric shocks in the apartment complex pool in Florida last month.
A video shows their bodies falling limp and slipping beneath the water's surface before they are saved by adults.
All three children spent four days in hospital. Inspectors said that it was due to faulty wiring of the pool pump.
All three victims spent four nights in the hospital but have fully recovered.
Inspectors say that the pool pump had not been properly grounded and malfunctioned - sending electricity into the water rather than away from it.
They said that the electrical work that had been carried out was unpermitted. The pool has now been drained and remains closed.
But CBS4 reported the pool passed a 40 year inspection last year and two health department inspections last year. The inspections require that the pool be up to electrical code.
City records show no official code violations or fines have been issued to the property owners yet.
The incident comes just weeks after seven-year-old Calder Sloan was killed by an electrical shock in his family's swimming pool a few miles away.
He could not be revived after he suffered a shock following a faulty pool light.
