No, that would have the opposite effect.

Voltage would go high, and current would drop low. A complete loss of connection would be an effective open circuit, and current would be zero.

I clean the pipe every time i use my rectifier, but after about 15 parts its corroded pretty badly.
I run into the same issue, and clean the pipe as soon as I see visible corrosion.
