Default Rid-Volt Grounding Pole

Hello,

Alright guys, no bad feelings here.
This is the facts I know are true:
1) Circuit breaker will trip if there's no GFCI and there's a ground probe
2) Circuit breaker won't trip if there's no GFCI and no ground probe (very dangerous if you place your hand in the tank as the current may not be enough to trip the breaker)
3) GFCI will trip whether or not there is a ground probe.

Bottom line, use a GFCI if you can. If you can't, use a ground probe.
