Graham Stetzer Filters – HOW TO INSTALL:
The STETZERiZER filter is based upon 100 year-old science and power engineering principles. Newly introduced is the design, which is focused on the needs of the customers in homes, offices, schools, etc. Filters have been extensively applied for decades by industrial users and the electric utility industry itself. The STETZERiZER filter is designed to filter harmonics and other high frequency current (trash) from the electrical environment, thereby reducing the potential for leakage into the human environment and creating additional trash in non-liner loads (televisions, computers, variable frequency drives, energy-efficient lighting, etc.). The high frequency current (trash) on the neutral wire in the electrical system is positioned to return directly to the power system via the feeder neutral to the substation, and possibly beyond. However, as is often the case, the utility feeder neutral is not adequately sized (as required by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin). If this is the case, much of the return current will flow through the ground rather than the feeder neutral. Under these conditions, the STETZERiZER filters still provide benefits; this should be seen as local mitigation rather than part of a complete solution that requires an adequately sized neutral return. At 60 Hz the filters act as capacitors and normally marginally improve the power factor of the customer load, which are normally slightly inductive.

STETZERiZER Filter Installation Instructions
STETZERiZER Filters are very easy to install on your own.
Follow these instructions to maximize filter effectiveness. 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 several power strips and plug your electronic devices into them using electric Ts. Then install filters in the power strips as per the instructions below.
NOTE: Contrary to what Americans are being told, compact fluorescent light bulbs (the curly “energy efficient” bulbs) are NOT recommended and should be removed. See Compact flourescent bulbs for more info.
Despite the romantic ambiance, dimmer switches are NOT recommended and should be swapped for normal switches or 3 step switches (low med high)
See dimmer switches for more info.
Now get started testing your home and work space to clear out electronic smog.
GENERALLY WE FIND:
The average house requires 20 GS filters, 4 power strips and 6 electric Ts.
One filter should be installed in power strips where each of the following electronic devices is located:
- Hair Dryer
- Mixer
- Blender
Two filters should be installed in power strips where each of the following electronic 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 in power strips where each of the following electronic 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 filer 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 STETZERiZER Filters should be installed to effectively clean up the average home and work space.
