Re: [TCML] Grounding Coil to Water Pipe



I understand the amount of labor and cost of chemicals to maintain a
perfectly manicured lawn, but isnt there a bed of mulch or gravel
somewhere, or immediately behind a bush you can use?
If there is a deck on the property you can also go right next it and
nobody notice, or unscrew a plank and go under it.
Getting an 8 foot rod in the ground can be a daunting task.
You can also cut the rod and use both or just one half, Ive only been
using a 4 foot rod with my 4 inch 12/60 powered coil with much
success.
Either way, using the houses water pipes or mains ground (which Ive
always seen tied together) should simply not even be considered.
