Hooga Grounding Continuity Tester for Grounding Mat, Sheets, Pads, Blankets, Pillow Cases. Universal 15 Foot Grounding Cord. Use to Test Effectiveness of Earth Connected Products.

The product arrived on time and it's as described and works as intended. Highly recommended.

Short version: This tester works well when properly connected. Connecting the pad and the tester to grounding pins of electrical sockets tests continuity from the pad to the tester but does not verify earth grounding. The diagram in the instructions shows both the pad and the tester connected to "E", which is the earth. Most modern houses have their electrical panel connected to earth ground, but unless that can be verified there is no "proof" that the pad is "earthed". Long version: My wife got a grounding pad as a gift and uses it regularly. I got interested in the concept and began wondering how one could verify if it was actually working. I do not mean if the health claims are accurate, but only if it is indeed connecting the user to earth ground. So, I bought this tester. It is simple to connect and operate, but to verify earth grounding it has to be properly connected. Most modern homes are required to have their electrical system connected to earth ground, so this will not be a problem for most. However, can we be 100% sure, especially in older re-wired homes, the contractor connected it to earth ground, the inspector approved it, and that the connection point has not become corroded or totally disconnected? I have a separate copper ground rod driven 6' into the ground outside my window. I connected the pad to the grounded socket and the tester to the ground rod outside my window and the test showed continuity. The only way that can happen is if the grounding pad is indeed "earthed". If you do not have a ground rod available you can connect the tester to copper pipes that go underground.

Very nice and confirms that the grounding Matt is working..

Works as it’s supposed to. I have used it to check which of my grounding devices actually work, which is most of them apart from one. I have also use it to find which floor surfaces in my home are grounded. So I now know that I can stand on the kitchen floor or the slate fireplace hearth and will be grounded. And just for fun, I have taken it out and about with me to confirm that I am grounded when standing in the garden barefoot, or when wearing boots but touching a tree or any other living plant or grounded person. Also any metal object embedded into the ground, such as a lamppost. Confirmed that concrete is also grounded, but not asphalt. A very useful piece of kit.
