Review: I use it for my ESD common point connection for my electronics bench. - Good quality. I use it for my ESD safe bench setup for my common point connection. The extra fish eye is meant to be tied to the faceplate screw to ensure a dual ground connection, or if you don't have an extra plug to fill up with this product, you can just use the fish eye on the faceplate screw. Be sure to use a multimeter to test continuity between your actual ground and the faceplate screw though. And I highly recommend you use a three prong outlet tester to ensure the wiring is correct for the outlet, you will be surprised to find that many are wired incorrectly. ## Features - Country Of Origin: Taiwan, Province Of China - The Package Length Of The Product Is 6.5 Inches - The Package Width Of The Product Is 1.75 Inches - The Package Height Of The Product Is 4.0 Inches ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002DGSWE | | ASIN | B0002DGSWE | | Active Ingredients | Mentioned on packaging | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,717 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #170 in Test Probes & Leads | | Brand Name | Rid Volt | | Country as Labeled | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (539) | | Date First Available | May 31, 2004 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000676002735 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 4 x 1 x 2 inches | | Item Form | Cream | | Item Volume | 400 Milliliters | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Item model number | RV2735 | | Manufacturer | TAAM | | Manufacturer | TAAM | | Manufacturer Part Number | RV2735 | | Material Features | Lightweight | | Model Number | RV2735 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Moisturizing | | Product Dimensions | 4 x 1 x 2 inches; 1.6 ounces | | Recommended Uses For Product | Dryness | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Skin Type | Combination | | Target Use Body Part | Whole Body | | UPC | 000676002735 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Rid Volt - **Item Volume:** 400 Milliliters - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 4 x 1 x 2 inches - **Special Feature:** Moisturizing ## Images ![Rio RV2735 Rid-Volt Titanium Grounding Probe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KE045ZanL.jpg) ![Rio RV2735 Rid-Volt Titanium Grounding Probe - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vccfNH2sL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what happen if there is a fault in the ground or a lightning strike?** A: While I don't know for certain, I would expect a direct lightening strike to have far more impact on your home than your aquarium alone. The probe is intended to remove stray electric from 'leaking' heaters, lights, etc., not to protect from a direct lightening strike to your home. **Q: Do i have to attach the metal ring to the wall outlet screw? Im confused on what that piece is for.** A: Only if you don't have a grounded outlet but it wouldn't hurt **Q: I know this is for fish tanks but could I clip my anti static wrist band to the probe ( or little metal loop ) and be properly grounded?** A: Yes and no. You should get an antistatic strap - as they have a resistive load in the band to help avoid shocks to you. Also they have a diode that protects you from being a grounding point if you connect it incorrectly to a ground point. Get products designed for you work/activities is a better approach - as well the static band would be cheaper. **Q: If the rod was stuck in wet soil, will it get worms to Come the top soil?** A: Dear Sir/Madam, I have many years of experience with grounding human beings and animals, but I have no experience with earthworms. I advise you to do an experiment and you will have the best answer. Personally, I think that worms in wet soil are very well grounded, so that additional grounding with an electrode will not feel or significantly affect their habits and movement. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to be working? *by T***. on March 22, 2022* Woke up to one of my power heads fizzing and buzzing in my 75g salwater tank..the wire that attaches to the powerhead had came apart exposing the copper wires...i'm sure it was just sparking away i there.....I've had this powerhead for atleast 2 years... i also noticed my old powersurge strip's "protected/grounded" light was out....tried resettting but did't come back on so I decided to just replace it with a new one...I didn't know anything about stray voltage in fish tanks until i started researching exposed/damaged wires in tanks just a couple of days ago when my powerhead took a dump..through the long years of owning fishtanks...I've never once been electrocuted while sticking my hand in the water...but since i ran across this subject while googling, i decided to test the voltage in the tank....with the filters, powerheads, heater, and light on and without the grounding probe, it was showing around 65 volts (A/C) !!....and with the grounding probe in, it drops to 0.013 volts....i mean from 65v to near 0v is pretty darn good...ive ran the test multple times and the same results so im assuming it works...stuck my hand in and didnt get electrocuted......the high volts in the water probably explains why majority of my fishes were disappearing...only my pair of clowns, striped wrass, and damsel survived.....i just thought maybe my female clownfish killed them because she was beginning to lay eggs and is about 4.5 inches long and very mean....she'd attack my arms and hands when i stick it in the water... but so far the probe looks to be working...it' plug directly into the wall outlet...(non gfci) ...but it'll do until i get a chance to replace some of the equipment i suppose.... note* i'm running two MarineLand Penguin 350 biowheel filters.... these were showing about 25ish volts each on my meter...so i know they're the culprits.....just sad...not even 3 years old... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I use it for my ESD common point connection for my electronics bench. *by R***A on August 14, 2017* Good quality.

Previously, I had small LED tablets in plastic housings. I put my arms in the tank all of the time without any issue. The new light is much more powerful (Maxspect Razor 130W) and has a large metal heat sink that is apparently grounded. The first time I went to feed my tank, I had my hand in the water and my forearm inevitably bumped the Maxspect light. It felt like something was cutting my forearm. Not a really strong shock, but more like a pinch or papercut. I probed my water for stray A/C voltage, and sure enough, I had the entire 120 VAC! LoL The culprits ended up being EVERYTHING in the tank other than the return pump; both heaters had a little stray voltage, but the HUGE culprits were/are the Hydor Koralia MaxiJets. I have two of them. One is good for 50 VAC and the other is good for the entire 120 VAC. I just received this ground probe, put it in my sump, and voila - stray voltage 0! I even put my arm in the tank and intentionally rested it on the light housing as well. No shock. Maybe coincidentally, my cleaner shrimp that never comes out of hiding during the day is currently roaming the tank at peak light intensity with no fear. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rio RV2735 Rid-Volt Titanium Grounding Probe - TAAM Professional Rid-Volt Submersible Titanium Grounding Ground Probe with Suction Mount for Aquarium Fish Tank --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1401706-rio-rv2735-rid-volt-titanium-grounding-probe](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1401706-rio-rv2735-rid-volt-titanium-grounding-probe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
