up the impulse in the ground. If some part of the water line contains a
metal joint (brass, iron, or prefe

Steve, the spark from fence wire to some kind of ground will travel through
the water in the pipedepending on the mineral content. Solid metal

We have a 100 gal Rubbermaid tank with a heater that goes in the drain plug.
I fill it with a hose that I keep out all winter. We live in Minnesota, so
keeping the hose from freezing is a challenge. After filling the tank, I drain
the water out of the hose
