Steve,

The wire end of the stainless steel end needs to be attached to some Earth ground, whether by a rod into the ground, to plumbing, the ground of the electrican circuit. Whatever method is selected it should be one that is the easiest and least linkely to cause other problems (ie. tripping).

Jaco,

Yes Organophosphates is a possibility and it was one I alluded to when I mentioned drugs. However, since the problem seemed to be occuring over a long period of time I did not place it high on the list of possibilities. Now if Organophosphates is used in this system on a regular basis then that changes the playing field..
