Additionally if you live in a dry , sandy area such as Texas it is very

common for ground rods to have no grounding capability. They often need

to be longer than the typical 3 or 6 foot rod...or else have water

poured on them periodically.



That's something I was unaware of - soil so dry it's not an effective

ground.

Doesn't sound like pouring water on them is a viable solution

unless you have some sort of drip irrigator doing it automatically.


And yet here you are pontificating on grounding systems, proper ground
connections, sending a poster to look for any ground connections to a water pipe and telling them it's "no longer code".
Go figure.
