Ok, whats the meter called with the 2 leads and you set it to conductivity or 600v or all the other settings? Multimeter?

Multi-meters generally have:

Ohms (resistance measfurement-not for energized circuits as it will destroy the meter in most cases)

Volts (from your numbers above I believe that this is what you are using)

Amps (for measurment of current)

ok multimeter, I will go back and edit the word ampmeter for multi meter...

You know the pipes in your own house. Try it, you'll see that it works.
