  1. It is not recomended to use a water pipe as an earth connection because you are opening up the posibility of your complete plumbing system becoming live!

    All of your household plumbing however should be earthed to prevent this.

    I suggest you connect to a proper earth connection.


  2. Grounding isn't going to save you from high voltage (voltage, not current- the current comes from the voltage source through you).   Only treating high voltage with respect will do it.  Grounding protects you when something goes wrong in the wiring in or out of the device plugged into the socket so the fuse will blow and remove the voltage.
