Would be fun here in the UK as many replacement water installations are with

All new wiring has to be positively grounded with a copper plated rod about a

*NOTE* some UK electrical engineer is going to pick me up on the specifics but
it doesn't matter as I think you get the drift........... Flash Bang Wallop !
