STETZER Filters - For Home
or Office
Frequently
Asked Questions
What
are STETZER Filters for?
STETZER Filters remove or reduce high-frequency pollutants from
electrical wiring.
How can I tell if I need STETZER Filters?
If you and your neighbors have electronic equipment connected to
electric outlets you need STETZER Filters.
How many STETZER Filters do I need?
It usually takes up to 20 filters to effectively “clean up” the
average home. Homes with more electronic equipment (i.e.
computers, printers, fax machines, televisions) may require more
filters.
What is the lifespan of STETZER Filters?
STETZER Filters are not like oil filters that fill up with use.
They are an electronic component, and should last a lifetime.
How are these filters installed in the home or
office?
View our filter installation instructions document for more
information.
I plugged in a STETZER Filter and there was a
spark. Is this normal?
Yes, it is normal for the filters to spark when being plugged
in. This should not hurt you, your electronic equipment, or the
filters.
I plugged in a STETZER Filter and it started
humming. Should it do this?
No. When a filter is humming, it is overloaded. To resolve this
problem, simply plug in more filters. Remember, it takes an
average of 20 filters to clean up a home. One or two filters
cannot do the work of twenty.
How can I tell if a STETZER Filter is working?
The only way to tell if a STETZER Filter is working is with the
use of an oscilloscope or specially designed Graham-Stetzer
meter. However, many people claim they can tell the filters are
working because they start to feel better fast.

Installation Recommendations:
Note: Many homes may not have enough open outlets to
install the number of filters needed to clean up the home. If
this is the case, purchase outlet expanders or power strips,
plug your electronic devices into them, and install filters in
the power strips as per the instructions below.
One filter should be installed where each of the following
devices is located:
Hair Dryer
Mixer
Blender
Two filters
should be installed where each of the following devices is
located:
Personal Computer
Laptop Computer
Inkjet Printer
Fax Machine
Personal/Home
Office Copier
Entertainment
Center (TV, VCR, DVD, Stereo, etc.)
Three
filters should be installed where each of the following devices
is located:
Laser Printer
Large Office Copier
One filter should
be installed in an outlet on each wall of the rooms you spend
the most time in, especially bedrooms. Other rooms where this
should be done may include your living room, kitchen, den, etc.
Two phases of current are used to supply utility power to your
home: A phase and B phase. One filter should be installed in an
outlet on each phase of current as close as possible to the main
electrical panel in your home. Most homes will have one
electrical outlet dropped down directly from the main panel;
installing a filter in this outlet will take care of one current
phase. For maximum effectiveness, call your local electrician
and have him or her drop another outlet down from the panel on
the other phase, then install a filter in that outlet as well.
When these directions are followed, a
sufficient number of STETZER Filters should be installed to
effectively clean up the average home.
