Rid-Volt Grounding Pole
For what it's worth!
1. GFCI's measure for a difference in current flowing between the line and the neutral. "Supposed" to trip at 8mA, this is when humans begin to feel it.
2. Grounding probes complete the circuit to ground for stray voltages.(YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE STRAY VOLTAGES)The only unexplained voltage should come from inductance, and adding a grounding rod will add to the problem.
3. GFCI Receptacles have been known to fail... You have a body of water with electrical equipment in it, spend the money on a GFCI breaker and test it. Would you bring your hair dryer into the tub?
4. Use only CSA or ULC approved equipment in your tanks. You'd be suprised how much junk isn't approved in Canada.
5. That 15A breaker will roast you long before it trips if there is a fault, and you're the conductor! [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Hey Stircrazy, check the grounding of your house.. Toaster shouldn't have affected anything unless is was plugged into the same plug in the kitchen and it blew up your radio... In that case you broke the wrong tab of the split receptacle..
