Do Not ground lightning strike protector to house-hold water pipes (outdoor faucet leads right inside), nor to only a couple feet long stake. Always use an industry approved 8-foot length copper-clad rod intended for this purpose (get one from your local power company). Alternative to a discharge block & safer, the antenna feed may be direct-connected to the ground rod manually during time of storms, thus totally dis-connected from indoor feed.
