Now, if you're in Mississippi and you have watery mud between your electrodes all year round, you're okay. But if you're in Nevada and you have DRY SAND between your electrodes, the guys are right - this is deadly.Although it may be permitted by some inspectors, I would not put a system with isolated electrodes into service unless I measured the GPR myself, or had a grounding specialist or commissioning company do the test. Also, if you DO live in sandy conditions, and the sand is wet from recent rains, you're going to get ultra-low readings - readings that are COMPLETELY invalid a week later during the inevitable drought!
If the code inspector allows this without a GPR test, he's opening his inspection branch up to quite a needless liability if you ask me...
Cheers,
Presto
