Greenwave is on a mission to help people clean up their electrical environments.
Wiring errors at the outlet and in the wall can create additional magnetic fields, electric fields and dirty electricity. We believe customers should be aware of these errors. We include the tester as a courtesy so customers can check their outlets.
The ground allows for a tighter connection to the outlet. That enhances the performance of the filters. In addition, our filters have a grounded outlet on the bottom so you don’t lose an outlet when plugging in our filters.
Grounded outlets can more safely provide power to devices including computers and televisions. These outlets are less likely to cause short circuits compared to ungrounded outlets.
Many people ask us whether they will need a filter for every electrical outlet in their environment. In most cases the answer is NO.
The general guidelines below can help you calculate the number of Greenwave filters you will need for your environment. If you would like additional help determining your filter needs, please contact Greenwave at [email protected] or 1-800-506-6098.
HOME ENVIRONMENTS
Most rooms within homes typically require 1 to 4 filters to reduce dirty electricity to acceptable levels. Two Greenwave filters are usually needed to reduce dirty electricity within average-sized rooms (e.g., bedroom, dining room). Rooms with heavy concentrations of electronics (e.g., media room, kitchen, home office) may require more than two filters (3-4), while smaller rooms, such as bathrooms, usually require only one.
The CHART below provides additional information about the number of Greenwave filters typically recommended for most rooms within homes (e.g., houses, apartments, condos).

Greenwave filters are easy to install. Simply plug them into electrical outlets to start reducing dirty electricity immediately.
For best results, the filters should be installed as close as possible to devices known to generate dirty electricity (e.g., electronic equipment, fluorescent lighting, light dimmer switches, SMART meters, appliances/devices with internal motors).
In addition, we recommend using Greenwave’s Broadband EMI Meter to guide filter installation. This meter can help you identify significant sources of dirty electricity in your environment and determine the best number of Greenwave filters to install in each room for optimal results. It can also show you how much dirty electricity the filters are eliminating. The meter displays “BEFORE filter” and “AFTER filter” EMI measurements (in millivolts) on the same screen simultaneously. The “AFTER filter” display screen also shows the percent reduction in local “electrical noise density.”
