240-Volt Pure Power Plug-in Filter

Description

240-Volt Pure Power Plug-in Dirty Electricity Filter

Please note: This 240-volt plug-in filter is for both U.S. and international applications. In the U.S. and other countries with 120-volt power in the home, this filter will be used only for appliances like dryers and stoves/ranges. If you are in a country that uses 240-volt power throughout the home, then this filter can be used throughout the home. Please see International 240-Volt Pure Power Plug-in Filter for more information and to order.

What makes Satic Pure Power Plug-in Filters Different from Other Plug-in Filters?

Why buy Satic plug-in filters when other brands are cheaper? Well, Satic’s Pure Power plug-in filters filter out a much wider range of frequencies; they filter the hot and the neutral wire; they don’t create leading current; and they do not put a large magnetic field on the wiring.

And you don’t have to buy 10 or 20 of them to filter your home! Two to four plug-ins are typically needed to filter a smaller home. Please contact me to determine exactly what you need.

To clean up dirty electricity from a device or appliance, you need only one plug-in filter. If multiple devices are on a single circuit, you need only one filter for that circuit, not one filter per device. Please contact me with questions.

See the chart following this discussion for a comparison of the Pure Power versus other plug-in filters.

My first experience with filtering dirty electricity was with the commonly sold plug-in filter known as the Stetzer or Stetzerizer. Those filters made me sick as a dog! At the time, I had just started the  Smart Meter Education Network, an activist group fighting against smart meters and for an analog meter opt-out. Analog meters don’t create dirty electricity; smart and digital meters do.

After my experience with the Stetzer filter, I doubled down on my efforts to get analog meter choice in Michigan. After all, it was clear (so I thought) that filtering would not work for me.

Fortunately, the Satic filters do not have the problems that Stetzer, Greenwave, and other cheap filters do. See the chart below to compare the specs of the SaticShield plug-in filter with the Stetzerizer and Greenwave filters.

 

Comparison of Satic, Stetzer, and Greenwave Plug-ins

	Satic Pure Power	Stetzer Plug-ins	Greenwave Plug-ins
Filtering range	4 KHz – 100,000 kHz (4 kHz – 100 MHz) MHz)	4 KHz – 150 KHz (4 kHz – 0.15 MHz)	1 KHz – 30,000 kHz (1 kHz – 30 MHz)
Filters out Dirty Electricity on Hot Wire	Yes	Yes	Yes
Filters out Dirty Electricity on Neutral Wire on Circuits	Yes	No—shunts DE to neutral	No—shunts DE to neutral
Number of Filters and/or Rectifiers and/or MOVs	Over 5 filters (proprietary info as to total number)	One filter	3 filters
Number of Filters Needed for 1000 sq ft Home	2–4	At least 10	At least 10
Warranty	3 years (same technology as the whole-house filter, but rather than 10-yr warranty, warranty is 3 yrs just because people can be hard on stuff they can pull out and toss around. They will last just as long as whole-house)	1 year	apparently 60 days
Outlet on Filter	Yes	No	Yes
Magnetic Field on Wiring and Emanating into Rooms	None to extremely minimal	Yes—to the point that it is debilitating for many	Yes—to the point that it is debilitating for many
Magnetic field	Slight when inches away from filter; see video on whole-house filter	Moderate at every place filter plugged in	Moderate at every place filter plugged in
Self-Healing Rectifiers	Yes	No	No
Capacitors that short-circuit electrical field and can create magnetic field	No	Yes	Yes
Grounded	Yes	No	Yes
Work with Solar	Yes. Advisable to purchase Solar Power Perfect filter if you plan to use solar.	Not well	Not well
Works Well with Power Line Commmunication (PLC) Metering	Yes	No	No
Creates Leading Current	No	Yes, which can and does cause some expensive equipment to fail	No data, but given that technology is essentially same as Stetzer, very likely
Causes problems with charging devices	No	Sometimes	Sometimes
Stops chargers from overheating	Yes	?	?
Causes chargers to overheat	No	Sometimes	Sometimes
Can cause equipment to operate with less heat (which is a good thing)	Yes	No	No
Certifications	UL (Underwriters Laboratory), RoHS	UL	UL, RoHS

 

Here is what the Greenwave website says about the Greenwave plug-ins: “Greenwave filters deploy capacitance technology to “short out” dirty electricity traveling along the wiring in buildings. Some battery-charging devices are not designed to work with high capacitance technologies. Therefore, battery chargers, back-up power supplies, and electric devices that include built-in chargers (such as electric toothbrushes and razors) should not be plugged into the same wall outlets or power strips as Greenwave® filters. Similarly, these items should not be plugged directly into Greenwave® filters that include an outlet at their base. In addition, Greenwave® filters are not always compatible with solar energy systems and the storage back-up units they use.”

Dirty electricity (DE) is also called line noise, power quality issues, voltage transients and harmonics, microsurge pollution, and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Dirty electricity filters are also known as line conditioners.

This filter is made by Satic, also known as SaticShield. Sometimes people mistakenly add a “t” to the company name and call it the “Static dirty electricity filter” or the “StaticShield.”
