AquaOne Grounding Probe

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

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.
