Hey there! I just wanted to let you know that I used your Amazon links to buy the grounding mat and the voltage meter. Thanks for creating such helpful content, and I'm glad I could support you and your TH-cam channel. Thanks again!
What I have learned from my own testing is a lot of the fluctuation is due to an irregular connection when holding the probes. Try putting it tightly in the crease between the thumb and index finger and the reading won't bounce around so much.

I purchased the voltage tester that you linked in your video. I purchased a new grounding well bedsheet because I’m pretty sure my other one wasn’t working. I followed all of your instructions exactly. I started off at 110 while holding the red cord in my hand When I placed my hand on the new bed sheet, it went up to 230 I tested my mat, which I’m pretty sure is working because I can feel tingling when I have my feet on it I started at 110 and ended up at 250. This is the second voltage meter that I’ve purchased. Not sure what else I need to be doing. I did put it on my wooden floor and tested it just like you did. But I got the same result when I had it on my quartz countertop. Any idea what else I need to do thanks.
Hmmm. I might suggest reaching out to the company to ask in case there is any issue with the order you received and to see if they have any suggestions.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm using a manual ranging multimeter. V~20. I'm seeing the same results whether or not the sheet is plugged into ground, Numbers start dropping when I touch the sheet. BTW, I'm sticking the banana plug into the UK socket ground port without using an adaptor plug made for the UK socket. Is this why?
Try unplugging your matt and doing the same test. It still reads 0.0 Why is that ? It disperses our bodies volt current out of our body even when the matter of sheet is not plugged in. Is it Becuase the amount of surface that just has metal ??
I have both an Earthing sheet and pillow case and was wondering if there are issues with leaving them plugged into the ground after you sleep? I realize that there is no electrical current in them; however, I am just curious. Thx
I have a question regarding the meter. I purchased the same meter, I live in the US and have the same electrical/grounding outlets as in your video. The black cord from the meter that is to be inserted into the grounding hole does not fit. The black wire has only a tiny point just like the orange. I put it in to see if I can still test my grounding sheet but the black wire end falls out of the ground outlet. Any suggestions.
Most multimeters have caps on the probes. If you quite literally have a very small pinpoint available, look at the plastic around it...there is likely a line going around because you can grab the cap & pull it off, exposing 1/2" or more.
How come it shows two different readings prior to the touching the mats? Before touching the white one your reading is at .600 dropping to 45ish but the second one starts already at .480 and it drops to 0.
So that’s not really an answer Sid. While yes, it does look like the reading drops for each test, your baseline reading is different when you switch from one to the other. I noticed this on the original video as well. It would be nice to know exactly why that is.
@@SidsTips Well, if i take it at face value, from .600 to .045 is a .550 drop, give or take. So how do I know that for your second mat the drop isn’t exactly the same, you just start from a lower reading so then it actually reaches 0. Meaning it’s not the mat’s fault, but perhaps placement or the power socket used? I’m not sure if the maths supposed to be this linear here or if it’s common that the closer you get to 0 the more resistance you face, but it’s ambiguous nonetheless. If the second reading was even higher than the first one, and it still dropped to 0, then I probably wouldn’t doubt it. But at least the same starting point. It would be amazing, it if you could do another update! Thanks, Sid.
@@rejphotography this is what I was able to find out: A voltage tester can change its readout when touched at different times due to several factors: Fluctuating Voltage: The voltage in a circuit can fluctuate over time due to changes in the load, power supply variations, or transient spikes. These fluctuations can cause the voltage tester to show different readings. Contact Quality: The quality of the connection between the tester probe and the test point can vary. If the probe makes poor or intermittent contact, the readout can be inconsistent. Even slight movements can cause changes in the contact, affecting the reading. Human Body Interaction: Some voltage testers, especially non-contact or capacitive types, can be influenced by the proximity of your hand or body. Touching the tester or the wire can introduce noise or alter the capacitance, leading to a change in the readout. Battery Level in Tester: If the voltage tester's battery is low, the readout may be unstable or less accurate. This can cause variations in readings over time. Environmental Factors: Temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions can also affect the accuracy of a voltage tester, leading to different readings at different times.
I am not getting any reading in any of my outlets, I live in an old house, is it possible that none of my outlets are grounded, even though they have that grounding hole?
Get a Klein Tools RT110 Outlet Tester that will tell you if your outlet is connected correctly. My outlets are correct, but I am not getting any reading either. I got 2 brand new meters, and even tested outside in the ground.

Good question. I am not certain, but I would gather your testers there are the same as where you plug in the grounding connector, so it would go there.
I'm also in the UK and I'm confused. I got a plug because the prong that comes from the cord that attaches to the sheet does not go in the UK socket earth hole. But the plug supplied has all three prongs and all three prongs look to have metal ends. Surely it should only have one prong? Or only the earth prong should be metal and the other two plastic, I've seen this on other Grounding sites. Do you understand this?
@@Donnadee341the ONLY pin on a UK plug that’s an earth is the top, solo pin. Not the 2 side by side. Fun fact, you cannot put anything directly into a live or neutral socket hole on modern uk plugs without an earth being inserted first. That’s why, on most plugs, the earth pin is slightly longer. So that it can push against the gates that open the other two holes for live and neutral

I appreciate your responding to my request and sharing another video. It looks like the effectiveness is less than it was months ago. Thank you!
U bet!! The effectiveness appeared slightly less, but it does seem like it should still make a difference.

Sounds like a lot of dirty electricity in your wiring?
@sidstips My outlets aren’t grounded 👀 so I’m using a grounding rod. So how can I use the meter to test?
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm using a manual ranging multimeter. V~20. I'm seeing the same results whether or not the sheet is plugged into ground, Numbers start dropping when I touch the sheet. BTW, I'm sticking the banana plug into the UK socket ground port without using an adaptor plug made for the UK socket. Is this why?

0.00 is nothing is connected. An open circuit.
What about the grounding pillows? Ever use that?
I have not.
How do you clean it? I got one a couple weeks ago I've seen mixed reviews.
I put it in the wash cold water and gentle cycle. I do a low heat dry.
Does anyone knows how to get rid off the smell from the mat? I left it outside for 2 weeks it is better but it still smells
I have both an Earthing sheet and pillow case and was wondering if there are issues with leaving them plugged into the ground after you sleep? I realize that there is no electrical current in them; however, I am just curious. Thx
That is the idea to leave it plugged in. Just unplug it if there is a storm coming through in case of a potential lightning strike.
With meter style did you get? There are 3 options. With lead alert?
This one ➡️ amzn.to/4bIhLfz
@@SidsTips MM420 thank you
@@TommyCosta u bet!
Should i keep changing positions so its touching my hands sometimes and sometimes my legs. Or it doesn't matter?
When laying on it as long as your body is touching it.
Have you felt any different since you've been grounding? What, if any, benefits have you experienced?
I would say being able to go back to sleep when I wake during the night to go to the bathroom.
Just got it today and put it on my bed… I’ll let you know😊
@@Gladfly82 great!
Do u know why there are 2 snaps on the sheet?
The used to have just 1, but I was told you can use either one.
Maybe so you can daisy chain a grounding pillow or throw blanket without running another ground cable all the way back to the outlet or ground rod.
I have a question regarding the meter. I purchased the same meter, I live in the US and have the same electrical/grounding outlets as in your video. The black cord from the meter that is to be inserted into the grounding hole does not fit. The black wire has only a tiny point just like the orange. I put it in to see if I can still test my grounding sheet but the black wire end falls out of the ground outlet. Any suggestions.
The metal tip has to sit on an angle in the grounding spot and it should stay. Make sure to give the black cable some slack.
@@SidsTips thank you so much! Yes I got it up work that way! 👍🏻
@@PMossb great!
Most multimeters have caps on the probes. If you quite literally have a very small pinpoint available, look at the plastic around it...there is likely a line going around because you can grab the cap & pull it off, exposing 1/2" or more.
You need to pull the bigger cap off. There are 2 caps stacked on top of each other.

My fluke does not receive a reading… but my outlet is grounded. Not sure what’s the issue
what if i live in EU and the adaptator has only one grounding Socket
Is your bed sheet 5 or 10% silver?
Not that I am aware of.
I have a multimeter - but I can't get the black end to stay in the grounding outlet hole - and I get no readings on it at all. HELP.
Yeah, it's tricky. You need to let the end lead angle up and it should hopefully stay.
When you hold the multimeter wire and touch the sheet, the reading drops.
When I do the same, the reading rises.
Why?
Hmm. Sounds like a potential electrical issue. Are you testing it near other electronics?
Hi - I am looking to get a voltage meter and am seeing a Kobalt that is slightly less expensive, do think this would still be okay?
I am not sure about it, so I am not sure.
All of them should work regardless of brand. I just bought 2 and 1 is Klein tools. Both are showing zero. 🤷♀️
@@tillylo good to know - thanks
I don't see you mentioning if it goes under the sheet or not??
Yes you can as long as you are laying on it.
I live in the UK it came with a ordinary UK plug, do I just plug it in to the electric socket, will it be safe please?
I am not sure how it works with the UK plug. I would reach out to the company to ask.
I think the live prongs are made of plastic
Hi Mariel, I’m based in the uk too. Do u live in a flat? Does it work for people who live in flats??

Oh I see you mentioned it a little bit. You said you have part of your body touching it. Do you have to?
You do want to ideally have your skin touching it.
