The cable TV (broadband) and antenna lightning supressor are grounded on the copper water line of my house. The problem is that we installed a water softener with plastic connections, so the grounding no longer exists. On top of that, the grounding points are on the opposite side of the house as the softener and well service entry point.
I think I have two options. I could drive a new grounding rod through the basement concrete floor and into the subsoil. Or, I could run about 100 ft of conductor (not sure which AWG) all the way to the service entrance and ground there. Which is the better idea?
