When NOT to use Dirty Electricity filters!

When Dirty Electricity filters are actually dangerous...Dirty Electricity is when all our wondrous gizmos generate noise that couples to the human body from the electrical wiring in our homes, schools, places of work, and so on.

Fortunately, there are simple filters you can get that reduce the dangers from this type of noise.

UNfortunately, you need to be careful using these filters if you have a backup generator!

Join me for a look at one of the pitfalls of D.E. filters…

In short, all our wondrous gizmos generate noise that couples to the human body from the electrical wiring in our homes, schools, places of work, and so on.

What effects does this dirty electricity have? Well, it ain’t pretty.

Fortunately, there are simple filters you can get that reduce the dangers from this type of noise.
