happens. The 3rd rod should NOT be a replacement of the existing 2 and MUST
only be added to the existing 2 by a jumper conductor...ONLY IF
determined to
be needed or beneficial.

This addition or by driving your existing rods deeper, is the ONLY way to
reduce your resistance. But, what is your current resistance? If you're
already at very low resistance, then you likely can't make it any better
because you're down to the conductor's own resistance. Don't do anything
unless and until you know what your resistance is. More rods IS NOT
better and
WILL only extend your reach to pick up static electricity, fallen
power-line
or lightning energy...a deeper single rod is factually best.
