I normally do. I didn't see that in their literature, but I did miss 
something one other time.

I still don't believe it, at least not here with out soil.  When damp the 
soild is highly conductive and the water coming out of the tap is just about 
as loaded with minerals.  With what comes out of the well we should be able 
to *grow* a tower. <:-))
