Description

Product overview

The Aqua One Grounding Probe bleeds stray voltage out of aquarium water. Pumps, heaters, and lights leak a little electromagnetic energy into the tank. Over time that can stress fish and, in a fault, shock you.

Plug it into a socket on an RCD (safety switch / GFCI). If a heater or pump seal fails and live current hits the water, the probe gives the breaker a path so it should trip.

Key features

Stray voltage: Drains the background charge from everyday tank electronics.
RCD / GFCI: Helps the safety switch trip if a submerged unit leaks current into the water.
Titanium: Conductive, does not leach like some metals, and holds up in saltwater.
Cable: 4 m lead so it can reach a protected outlet from a deep cabinet or a multi-tank stand.

Where to install

Location	When to use it
Sump	Preferred. Sit the probe in high flow, near return pumps and heaters.
Display tank	Use the main water column if you have no sump.

Care and instructions

Always follow dosage & directions on product packaging.

Mount: Submerge the titanium section in high flow (sump or display). Plug the earth lead into an RCD-protected outlet only.
Check: Once a month, look for scale or salt creep on the metal.
Clean: Wipe with fresh water or white vinegar to dissolve calcium and coralline so the metal stays in contact with the water.
