Jumper wire question
What gauge wire would I want to use as a jumper over a plastic water filter in a copper water system?
To mount, do I use those acorn style clamps you use on a ground clamp or something different?

Check with your local municipality, but generally #6 is used as a jumper and acorn connectors. With copper some will require different connectors, so check first.

Thanks both of you for the response.
Those are the clamps I was thinking about but at my hardware store they only had the steel ones so I passed on them... I'll need the brass/copper ones.

Aha, thats all I need then. I was thinking if I used the metal ones I would have dissimilar metals going on... perhaps there are some dielectric coating on the teeth or something?
