Moisture is drawn into the rods via changes in atmospheric pressure.
Through a process called deliquescence, these continuous small amounts of moisture convert environmentally safe compounds into an electrolytic solution. The Valence Rod will provide a resistivity,many times lower than conventional solid rod in virtually any type of soil. Because the pigtail is attached via a factory exothermic weld directly to the copper tube, it has the best physical and electrical bond possible. This is your assurance of a reliable system. Valence Rods provide solutions to your most difficult grounding problems when used in conjunction with Valence Galvanic Backfill.
