"Next up, the pros and cons of micro arcing"

Micro arcing has placed havoc on our faucets (the seats, though easily replaceable, go first - then eventually the faucet structure itself) ever since cable TV was installed in our apartment building.

The cable companies "ground" to a cold water pipe, wich then creates micro arcing at the pipe ends/faucets.

I could measure low voltage (on the faucets) with my old/better Fluke MM, but it's hit and miss with the $20 job I now have.

I once took measurements (faucets) when the cable ground accidentally detached from the water pipe and guess what - Zero voltage.

Oddly enough the bass response/clarity of my system also improved until the cable ground was reattached/repaired.
