Voltage in Marine Tank

[Carl Cardarelli]

I discovered that I have some voltage running through my tank purchased a Rio RV2735 Rid-Volt Titanium Grounding Probe place that in my sump and still have the same voltage reading on the meter!

Any advice I greatly appreciate it Thanks Carl

There might be an issue with you grounding plug actually grounding. make sure that it is plugged into a properly installed outlet on its own (not through an extension or multi plug cord) or attache directly to outlet ground (green wire). also make sure that there are not any cuts in the wire, or that the tip is not fowled up.

How much voltage are you reading?

Your best bet is to figure out what is causing the stray voltage. I had the same thing going on it caused a few problems.. I also had a ground probe in the sump and it didnt work, then one by one I shut off equipment and that's how I rid myself of the stray voltage

voltage is 1.476 its plugged into wall outlet, tried to find out what's causing with no luck I know that sounds crazy/stupid.

That's really a lot of voltage going through the water ... try shutting down everything and take a reading ...
