on a serious note, i think a word / email to them is in order telling them the dangers of this and also telling them the dangers of messing with an earth to the electricity supply especially general public who have no knowledge in what it is doing or suppose to do !!

love the quote on there

Customer Mark Rose contacted me to suggest sealing the final contact between the earth cable and the copper tube with a whole tube of clear silicon sealant, left for 24 hours to fully dry inside and out. I think this is good practice, though I actually leave mine so that I can periodically check and retighten the bolt.

so he periodically digs a 1mtr deep hole to check the connection and re-tighen the bolt?!

Have you seen the special wieved earthing conductor too? No mention of CSA anywhere.

I found his comment about how difficult it is to sink a traditional earth spike into the ground interesting, apparently normal earth spikes from the wholesaler are prone to "Bend"! I may be tempted to ask how many forum members have this problem with bendy earth spikes?

Doc H.

One of the problems of using an earth spike is that it is sometimes very difficult to drive a 4ft (1.2m) spike deep into the ground! The copper-clad steel rods supplied by electrical wholesalers often bend when driven into the ground

Two P.T. Barnum quotes spring to mind.

cant say ive ever had en earth rod bend....

and anyway, id rather struggle with a bendy 1mtr rod, than dig a big trench! (and get rid of the soil that magically appears after youve filled the hole!)

Needs to update the write up.

Only 6Kish to rewire the ringmain then.

And there's me thinking it should quote a BS number

Also "needs double insulation, please ask" Huh??

Check out the low impedance 4mm earth wire, why?, are they now suggesting a safety circuit impacts sound quality - pleeease!!!
