All:

I came across a website that claimed it's better to use the hydraulic pressure from water hose to drive ground rods instead of pounding them into the ground. The idea is to prevent damage to the copper clad. I can see how this would make the installation easier, but can't imagine the copper being stripped away that easily. Any truth to this?

The site also mentioned that the copper strap or wire that joins one ground rod to the next should be buried at least a foot below ground level while another said a few inches is fine. I suspect deeper is better.

Thanks...

Tony
