I'll let someone else answer about RSGs. The problems with grounding using
water pipes, are that generally they provide relatively poor earths, and
more importantly modern plumbing uses a lot of PVC and PU (and other
plastics). It is quite possible that you would be virtually un-grounded in
many cases. OK, it may be good practice to bond pipework into your grounding
system, in fact on safety grounds I think it is virtually vital.
