Our products are considered safe for most people. However, individuals with certain medical conditions or those using electronic medical devices should consult with a healthcare professional before using them.

There are generally no known serious side effects of earthing. Some individuals may experience mild tingling sensations initially, but this usually dissipates.

Our products do not interact with the electricity used by common household appliances. Instead, they contain a conductive material, which connects to the "ground" port of a wall outlet. This port in the outlet is linked to the ground outside, a feature commonly found in modern houses as a safety system.

We utilise this safety system to connect you to the Earth, the same as being barefoot - measurable via a Multimeter and verified through studies. Our products do not use or come in contact with electricity.

It's uncommon for lightning to strike residences. However, when it does occur, lightning tends to seek the path of least resistance to reach the earth. This usually involves traversing through substantial conductive systems such as plumbing, electrical circuits, or lines for telephone and cable TV, all of which have a direct ground connection. Essentially, it seeks the quickest and simplest route to the earth.

The grounding products from Down To Ground are linked to the earth either through a grounding wire or a rod, and they incorporate a built-in 100k ohm resistor to limit current. This feature acts as a safeguard against any electrical flow reaching you. In the event of a lightning strike, this would not constitute the most accessible route to the ground, and the resistor would burn out before lightning could reach you.

Nonetheless, if your residence is situated atop a mountain where lightning strikes are more frequent, or in areas like Florida known for their high frequency of lightning incidents, or if you have any lightning-related concerns, it's advisable to adhere to the standard lightning safety precautions recommended by the U.S. National Weather Service or the meteorological authorities in your region.

Lightning behaves erratically, and exercising extra caution is always beneficial. If you have any concerns, simply disconnect your Down To Ground device(s) and refrain from using them during thunderstorms and lightning events.

No, Down To Ground items and their associated cords are engineered exclusively to transfer the Earth's natural energy to you via the grounding port of your electrical outlet.

Down To Ground products establish a connection to your outlet, but solely to the grounding hole, or they may be linked to an Down To Ground Ground Rod that is inserted into the ground outside. They are not designed to transmit electrical power, the kind that powers your lights and appliances.

Moreover, all Down To Ground cords are equipped with a built-in 100k ohm resistor, offering a safeguard against the remote possibility of an electrical current traveling along the grounding wire.

Down To Ground products incorporate essential safety features for user protection.

Firstly, every order includes an Electrical Outlet Tester, enabling you to ensure your outlet is correctly configured and possesses a functional ground.

Secondly, the Coil Cords of the product are crafted to deliver a gentle and safe grounding experience by utilizing an integrated (molded-in) in-line current-limiting 100k ohm resistor. This resistor acts as a precautionary measure, limiting the flow of current to a secure level in scenarios where a person might be in contact with an electrically malfunctioning device while grounded.

The recognized safe current threshold, ranging from 5-8mA, is identified as the level where an electric shock is not painful and can be willingly released by an individual. The threshold for human body sensation is around 1mA. This is based on the electrical formula for current: current = voltage/resistance (I=V/R), where R is the total resistance, combining both the resistor's and the body's resistance. The typical body resistance can be around 10k when wet and considerably higher when dry. For cautious approximation, if we consider body resistance as negligible (Rbody=0) and only account for the resistor (Rres=100k ohm) with a voltage of 130 volts, the maximum current (I) would be 130 volts / 100,000 ohm = 1.3mA, which is substantially below the safe limit of 5mA and is likely to be barely noticeable

Yes, absolutely. They are as safe for your pet as walking on the earth outside.

No, because Down To Ground products do not run on electricity. They are used in your home through the grounded port of your wall outlet. No electricity runs through the grounded port.

If your outlet ISN'T grounded, you two options:

• Use a Ground Rod to connect the products to the ground outside

• Call an electrician to come convert your outlets to a grounded system.

(Generally older homes, built before the 1960s, will not have grounded outlets and will require the use of a ground rod or the services of an electrician to do some updating on the electrical system.)

Your Down To Ground order comes with an Outlet Checker to see if your outlets are grounded. If you live in a country that has a different type of outlet, you will need to purchase an Outlet Checker for that outlet type as well as an Outlet Adaptor.
