Choose the Right Filter (3)

As a general rule, if you have two circuit panels you need only one whole-house dirty electricity filter. Often, when people have two breaker boxes, one of the boxes is a subpanel. The subpanel is connected to the main circuit panel. The Power Perfect dirty electricity filter will filter out the dirty electricity on both panels. You can wire the filter into either the main panel or the subpanel. Either one is fine.

 

If you have the option between installing the filter on the main panel and the subpanel, install it on the subpanel. The reason for this is that in the main panel, grounds and neutrals are wired into the same bus bar; in a subpanel, they are not. Filtering is actually improved when grounds and neutrals are not on the same bus bar. (If some of this doesn’t make sense to you, don’t worry about it. If you have a subpanel, just ask your electrician to wire it into the subpanel.)

 

However, if your circuit panels are more than 30 feet apart, you will likely need two Satic filters.

 

If you have two electric meters, you will need a filter for both breaker boxes.

 

Please feel free to contact me with questions.

Yes, it will. I’d read on eiWellspring.org that dirty electricity from power line communication (PLC) and TWACS meters couldn’t be filtered out. Since my parents had a PLC meter, I decided to test the Power Perfect on their home. We installed it, and their dirty electricity levels went down 90%.

 

I’ve since sold this filter to people with TWACS or PLC, and it has worked very well for them. Some of these people have left reviews on their experience.

It’s always best to contact me for a quick consultation, but here are some guidelines:

 

Standard Power Perfect, Gen II or III

  • Your home is under 2700 sq ft.
  • Your dirty electricity levels are under 500 mV.
  • You and/or your neighbors don’t have solar, a pool pump, or an electric car charger.
  • Note: If your home is under 2000 sq ft, we generally recommend the Standard Power Perfect regardless of dirty electricity levels.

 

Super Duty Power Perfect, Gen II or III

  • Recommended if your home is above 2700 sq ft.
  • Use if you and/or your neighbors have solar, a pool pump, or an electric car charger and your home is over 2000 sq ft.
  • Use if your home is 2700 sq ft or above and your dirty electricity levels are greater than 500 mV.

 

Heavy Duty, Gen II or III

  • Your home is 2700 sq ft or above and energy savings is your primary concern.

 

Pure Power Plug-in Filters

Please see this article, which goes into detail on how and when to use plug-in filters.

In brief,

  • Use to filter dirty electricity from devices and appliances.
  • Use in conjunction with one of the whole-house filters to further bring down dirty electricity levels in your home.
  • Use to filter the entire home. This is usually best done for homes under 1000 sq ft, but you can use plug-ins to remediate any size home, you’ll just need more of them.

Dirty Electricity (1)

Yes. The electrical grid is a like a river. If you throw a pollutant in, it goes everywhere. This means that even if you have an analog meter on your home, your dirty electricity levels will be too high. However, those levels will be 50 to 75 percent less than if you had a smart/digital meter on your home.

 

For 5 1/2 years, I had an analog meter while my neighbors had smart meters. My dirty electricity levels ranged from 60 mV to 120 mV. You want levels below 50. When the smart meter was put on my home, my levels shot up to 250 mV. When I installed the Satic Power Perfect whole-house filter, my levels went down to 23.

 

My health improved once I put the filter on. That’s when I realized that even 60 mV of dirty electricity were affecting my health.

Health (1)

For some people, the health problems they are experiencing from dirty electricity go away the moment the filter is installed. For example, on the Reviews page, you will see where Marilyn Ziegele and Patrick Kane both talk about how some symptoms went away the moment the Power Perfect whole-house filter was installed.

 

For other people, some symptoms take a few days or a week or two. For others (like me), it took even longer. Most people feel relief within a day. On the Reviews page, you will see where Chuck and Sarah F. discuss what symptoms went away within 24 hours and what ones are getting better over time.

 

Most people report their home feeling calmer right away. See the Reviews page for many more experiences, and also see the reviews under individual filters.

Installation (4)

Yes, all Satic whole-house filters can be installed outdoors or indoors. They are made of Lexan and are waterproof and bulletproof.

 

This applies to SaticShield’s Standard Power Perfect, Super Duty, and Heavy Duty whole-home dirty electricity filters.

 

Plug-in filters should not be used outside unless in an area where they are protected from the elements.

You can wire the Power Perfect whole-house dirty electricity filter into either panel. They are connected, and the Power Perfect will clean both panels as long as they are less than 30 feet apart. If the distance between them is greater than 30 feet, you may need two whole-house filters.

 

If you have the option between installing the filter on the main panel and the subpanel, install it on the subpanel. The reason for this is that in the main panel, grounds and neutrals are wired into the same bus bar; in a subpanel, they are not. Filtering is actually improved when grounds and neutrals are not on the same bus bar. (If some of this doesn’t make sense to you, don’t worry about it. If you have a subpanel, just ask your electrician to wire it into the subpanel.)

No. For some reason, the devices that mitigate dirty electricity are known as filters, but they aren’t filters like you find in a water filter or air filter. There is nothing to change, no moving parts, nothing to maintain.

 

The whole-house filter has a 10-year warranty. The Power Perfect on my parents’ home has been there for over 10 years and is working great.

As a general rule, if you have two circuit panels you need only one whole-house dirty electricity filter. Often, when people have two breaker boxes, one of the boxes is a subpanel. The subpanel is connected to the main circuit panel. The Power Perfect dirty electricity filter will filter out the dirty electricity on both panels.

International Filters (4)

Yes. All filters can be wired for 240-volt electricity. If you have 120-volt electricity, then you will use the U.S. version of the filters. (Note that the term 240-volt electricity encompasses 210-volt, 220-volt, and 230-volt.)

 

Whole-House Filters: If you live in a country where the wiring is not 120 volts, your filter will be wired to comply with the wiring specifications for your country. If you are ordering internationally, please be sure to email me at SmartMeterEducationNetwork@gmail.com with the type of wiring your country has. You must indicate whether you have 210-, 220-, 230-, or 240-volt electricity. In addition, you must determine whether you have single-phase or three-phase electricity. Most countries have single-phase, but some countries have 3-phase, and in some countries, like Switzerland and Australia, some residences are wired for single-phase electricity while others are wired for three-phase. If you don’t know, simply call your electric company and find out. World Standards has a list of electricity by country, but it is not completely accurate, so please verify with an electrician or your electric company. You can also consult the Mains Electricity page on Wikipedia.

 

Plug-in filters: If your electric supply is 210 volts, 220 volts, 230 volts, or 240 volts, make sure you purchase the 240-volt Satic Pure Power plug-in dirty electricity filters. To plug them in, you will need an inexpensive adapter like the ones travelers from the U.S. use in your country. Typically, an adapter is sent with your filter, but occasionally you might have to purchase one. They are not expensive. You can find them in-store or online. Here are examples of adapters for Australia and New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Europe, and India.

 

Wikipedia has pictures of all the different outlet types. WorldStandards also has comprehensive information on and a map of all the different outlet types in use around the world. Or just call your local hardware store if you are not sure of what adapter you require.

 

We recommend that if you want to plug something directly into the filter (rather than putting the filter on the same circuit as the appliance or device creating dirty electricity) that you put the filter on a power strip, plug the power strip into your outlet (power point), and plug your device into the power strip. This is because it can become unwieldy to have two adapters on the filter.

 

Note that if you wish to plug something directly into the front of the filter, you will need to purchase an adapter to do so.

U.S. and Canadian orders are typically shipped the next business day. Sometimes they ship the same day, occasionally it will be two business days.

 

U.S. orders typically are shipped via Priority Mail, so expect your order within 2 to 3 days of it shipping. You will be sent tracking when the order ships.

 

Orders to be shipped to countries outside of North America typically take 6 to 10 days from date of shipping, though occasionally they arrive sooner. Orders are usually shipped via GlobalPost and usually do not incur VAT or customs surcharges. Depending on the filter you order, shipping may take place two days after your order, but occasionally it will take a week before an order is shipped, as filters are made to order for your country.

 

Testing Dirty Electricity (2)

The filter can be turned off simply by switching off the dipole circuit breaker to the filter, in the same way you’d switch off a breaker to any circuit. When you want to test how much dirty electricity is coming in from the grid before it’s filtered, simply switch off the dipole circuit breaker and test your levels.

You should notice your dirty electricity levels go down with 3 to 30 seconds after installing the Power Perfect filter, depending on how far away from the filter you are testing. The filter begins cleaning immediately. With the plug-in filters, you will notice a change within 1 to 5 seconds.

 

Note that dirty electricity filters are rectifying current. They aren’t “straining” anything out like a water filter does, even though the term filtering is used.
