Default More about water pipe earthing

I know that I could put an earth tag across each speed-fit joint to ensure
continuity, but what is the point?


Don't. Plastic pipes do not need earthing. There is no advantage (and plenty
of disadvantages) in ensuring continuity when metal pipework is separated by
plastic. Small bits of metal isolated from everything else (i.e. metal taps
fed by plastic pipes) do not need bonding.
