I know the knee jerk response to what I am about to ask is, "How ridiculous!", but let me ask anyway.
I think from my research that pure salt water has better conductivity than copper, why not place some stainless steel electrodes in the ends of 1/2" PVC tubing and use saltwater as conductors? I think the resistance of 1000' would be way less than 1000' of 1/2 solid copper.
I understand the breakdown voltage is way lower, but would that be an issue? As the water diminished, I would just fill it back up.
Like I said, half baked, but would it work?
