Oracle Delphi/ ET-2 static electricity issue

I have an Oracle Delphi turntable with Eminent Technology ET-2 arm. WISA pump and air tank.
Sounds absolutely fantastic. However, am experiencing a lot of issues with static electricity
I have one tonearm cable ground wire connected from the grounding screw on the chassis of the Oracle and another grounding wire from the Oracle bearing.
I have no ground to the tonearm itself. Not sure where I could ground it.
I have tried to connect the ground wire to the pre-amp, the power amp, and to my power cleaning device.
Nothing works. I get pops that are loud every couple of minutes.
Anyone else with the same issue.
I hear this is pretty common for air bearing tonearms.
Thanks in advance.

I have an Oracle Delphi MK 2 w/ ET 2 tonearm. I do not get pops. BUT I do pick up a spanish AM station during the daytime. My tonearm wire is Van den hull silver. I think that is the culprit as it is un shielded.

Do you have a tray that you put fluid in for the arm? Lost my fluid.
