I believe you want to have only one ground connection. Not all grounds are at the same voltage potential so you could be getting a current flow which causes electrolysis. Any chance the leaks are between the various grounds? : We have had 3 pin hole leaks in the water system in a seven year old home. Recently we noticed the electrical system was grounded to the cold water supply from the well. There are also two other ground points to the water pipes in the home. : Do you have any ideas about the cause of the problem? : Thanks for your help. : Mike Tillery
