In Reply to: Not ground. Diatomae are microscopic creatures with a silicous exoskeleton posted by Jacques on July 5, 2006 at 07:04:28:
As I said in my first post, I doubt if MMasztal would have any problems. Dry sandy soil such as we have in Texas can give a poor ground. The grounding firm whose product and installation I am considering pack diatomaceous earth around the copper rod used and reccomends watering if it is dry. I have a house watering system and would put the rod in such a position to be wetted by it.Diatomaceous earth is heavily used in the US in swimming pool filters. When it becomes dirty, it is discharged for surface runoff. In the south of the country we have a South American imported ant called the fire ant, because of it bite. Diatomaceous earth is used to control them as it cuts them up internally. Much of the Diatomaceous earth I have used has small shells and parts of shells in it, which caused me to think that it was ground shells. I don't think much effort is made to make it pure as in typical use it does not matter.
As usual, soundmind created many red herring arguments Unfortunately I responded to them.
