Default Rid-Volt Grounding Pole

after seeing all the problems laitly with people getting zaped (and they are using ground probes) I am not sure if they are a good thing. yes they will remove stray voltage but as Titus pointed out they will also compleat a circuit and htip the GFI if you have one. if you don't have one then you could be in trouble (or at least you wouldent need a heater anymore [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] )also there is the chance that another voltage leak in your house could be introduces into your tank throught a ground probe but this is probably a very small chance.
