Updated 9-26-16 Greenwave® Dirty Electricity Filters Greenwave filters remove dirty electricity from wiring in homes and other buildings. What Is Dirty Electricity? Dirty electricity is erratic spikes and surges of electrical energy traveling along power lines and building wiring, where only standard AC electricity should be. This type of electro-pollution is also known as electrical noise, line noise, and power line EMI (electromagnetic interference). Dirty electricity is created by modern electronics, appliances, energy-efficient lights, and other devices that run on electricity. Why? Because many of these devices no longer use standard AC electricity “as is.” Instead, they must change or “manipulate” electrical current in one way or another in order to operate. For example, many electrical devices today must convert standard 50/60-Hertz AC electricity (alternating current) into other forms of electricity [such as low voltage direct current (DC) or higher frequency AC] in order to operate. And, many devices now draw power from wiring intermittently, in short bursts, rather continuously, by turning the flow of power to a device “on” and “off” repeatedly, sometimes thousands of times per second. These processes interrupt the smooth flow of standard AC electricity, creating harmonics and erratic surges/spikes of electrical energy known as voltage transients. Once created, this unusable “dirty electricity” spreads throughout a building and even to other buildings via wiring and power lines. As it travels, it radiates potentially harmful electromagnetic fields (EMF) into environments where we live, learn, work, and more. Dirty electricity can interfere with the proper functioning of appliances and electronic equipment, and more importantly, with natural electrical processes within the human body. Exposure to this type of electro-pollution has been associated with a wide variety of health problems such as cancer, asthma, sleep disturbances, fatigue, skin rashes and tingling sensations, allergy symptoms, headaches, muscle and joint pain, brain fog, memory loss, ADHD symptoms, depression, and more. How Greenwave Filters Reduce Dirty Electricity Greenwave filters utilize state-of-the-art electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering technology to significantly reduce the harmonics and voltage transients present on the wiring in buildings. This is the most direct, effective, and practical way to target this particular type of electro- pollution. The less dirty electricity there is flowing along building wires, the less that will radiate into your environment. The filters plug directly into electrical outlets and power strips. They “short out” (shunt) erratic surges/spikes of electrical energy (i.e., dirty electricity), while allowing standard 50/60-Hertz AC electricity to pass through unimpeded. Key Features of Greenwave Filters Easy to use! Simply plug the filters into electrical outlets and power strips for immediate results. Built-in outlet for plug-through convenience Most Greenwave filter models include a built-in outlet at their base. You can plug electronics and other devices into the filters when you need an outlet. Safety certified and environmentally friendly Greenwave filters meet rigorous safety standards (e.g., UL, CE, SEMKO) and are RoHS compliant. RoHS certification ensures that the filters are free of toxic substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and more.

MeasuringtheEffectivenessofGreenwaveFiltersManypeoplewanttoknowjusthowmuchdirtyelectricityGreenwave filters remove fromthewiring in theirhomesand other places. This is easy to measure with a plug-indirty electricitymeter, such as theGreenwave BroadbandEMIMetershownhere.

Greenwave’s meter is easy to use. Simply plug it intoelectrical outlets to findouthowmuchdirty electricity ispresent on nearbywiring. Themeter can show “BEFOREfilter” and “AFTER filter” measurements on the samescreensimultaneously,makingcomparisonseasy.The meter is also an excellent tool for guiding theinstallation of Greenwave filters. It can help you identifysignificantsourcesofdirtyelectricityinyourenvironmentanddeterminethebestnumberoffilterstoinstallineachroomforoptimalresults.IMPORTANTNOTE:AC electric fieldmeters, gaussmeters, and radio frequency(RF)metersareNOTsuitableforaccuratelymeasuringdirtyelectricityorforgaugingtheeffectivenessofdirtyelectricityfilters.

InstallingGreenwave®FiltersPleasereadtheseinstallationinstructionsandthe“ProductDisclaimerandCustomerSatisfactionGuarantee”intheirentiretyBEFOREinstallingyourGreenwavefilters.STEPONECheckforwiringerrors.Prior to installing Greenwave filters, we recommendtesting the electrical circuits in your environment forwiring errors. To do this, you can use a circuit(outlet/receptacle) tester to check EACH outlet priorto plugging in Greenwave filters. These testers areinexpensive and can be purchased at most hardwarestores.(NOTE: Greenwave filter kits for the U.S. and Canadaincludeafreeoutlettesterforyourconvenience.)Ifanywiringerrorsarefound,pleasecontactanelectricianto correct the error(s) before installing filters. Wiringerrors can cause electrical hazards in homes and othersettings, and can also create very highmagnetic fields inbuildings. These magnetic fields can be amplified whenany electrical devices, including Greenwave filters, arepluggedintooutlets.STEPTWOInstallyourfilters.For best results, we recommend using a plug-in dirtyelectricity meter, such as the Greenwave Broadband EMIMeter, to guide installation.
