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.

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.

Easy to use and see the results

Hi y’all. I bought my hooga grounding mat a couple weeks ago. I absolutely love it. I just wanted to make sure that this mat was actually grounding me so I bought this tester. It works great as long as you connect it to the outlet protector as shown in the picture. Didn’t work otherwise. I was almost about to return this product, but then decided to test it this way, and I’m so glad I did because now I am 100% confident that my product has continuity. Now I just have to wait for my sheet to arrive and I will be able to test this on the sheets as well. 👍🏻

The product seems to be working. Sometimes it takes a second for the light to go off when no longer grounded. I did get a few surprising results, for example it showed me as grounded with flip flips on. But with sneakers it showed not grounded, as expected. So I think it works but it may not be as exact as a multimeter.

I have two grounding mats, both of those were tested as working properly. I also have a grounding pillowcase which no matter where I touched it. It said it was not working. And I just purchased a $90 pair of grounding shoes and the first thing I did was test them. The shoes do not work as claimed so they will be returned. So this isn’t something I’ll be using all the time, I will use it since it works to detect when a grounding product has stopped working. It also is saving me $90 on a pair of shoes that don’t work.

Very disappointed. False negative. Have been using a grounding mat while sleeping. I wanted an easy way to spot check that the mat was still grounding me. I had used my multimeter see picture to confirm that the matt initially was grounded. If you’ve not used a multimeter, you put the black part in the rounding hole on an outlet and hold the red part in your hand with the multimeter in the middle. You will see that you have a charge. Then, if you touch the hand, that’s holding the red probe to a grounding mat, you should see the numbers on the multimeter read out drop very close to zero. When I tested the continuity tester, I first pressed the button, and the green light came on to show the battery was working in the tester. However, when I followed the instructions by first Long pressing the button until the green light went out and laid the tester on the grounding mat, the tester said that the mat was not grounded. Of course, I then went for my multimeter, which confirmed that the mat was still grounded. Good news Amazon return is great and will get the price back in my credit card. Buyer beware

Simple and effective. I tested it inside and outside on various items. I found that my socks conduct well outside. I also found that my so-called grounding shoes don't ground/conduct at all! I have a grounded pillow case that works great, and I got a new set of sheets that are silver impregnated, and they do not conduct. When buying earthing or grounding items, use this to test!

If you are experimenting with grounding, or earthing, this is a good item to have. It lets you know that the mat or sheet, or whatever you are using to ground with, is working. I have several grounding items - and recently caught that a seating mat I had just purchased was not working - and returned it. So this saved me time and money. I use it to check the magnet conductivity of my grounding mats periodically - especially the sheets and pillowcases, as they get washed.

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

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.
