Tom,

Thanks for the explanation of why Insulators might have to be washed. If Seawater is the culprit that explains why someone inland would not see it done. I wonder if they do it on the East Coast.

I remember from School that pure H2O is actually a great insulator but should not be confused with the "Water" we all know on a daily basis.

Bordew,

Does a Balanced PH always mean that it is a poor conductor of Electricity? I mean, if something is added to water to balance the PH the impurities are still there (Right?)Does the balance itself make the water a poor conductor?
