Oh, also....what I told you above will ONLY ground the plumbing of the house, but at least you will not die when taking a shower lol. To ground the outlets, you would have to ground the main panel and pull a ground to each individual circuit.....not a fun job.

Yea, I figured that. What I will do is ground the plumbing then ground each of the outlets I need (3) to the nearest plumbing. That will at least take care of the tanks. We are trying to sell the house so I am not really interested in re-working the entire house.
Having a ground conductor will not necessarily prevent getting shocked in your scenario. What you want is a GFCI. They will still function properly even in a two-wire system. You can use the plug-in type, or replace your receptacle with a GFCI receptacle. If you use the receptacle, it is requred to be marked "no equipment ground".

Yea, I am replacing all of the receptacles going to the tanks w/GFCIs as a part of this process as well
