Stetzerizer filters were developed by Dr. Martin Graham, professor emeritus from the University of California, Berkeley and Mr. Dave Stetzer, president of Stetzer Electric in Blair, WI, founded in 1974. Stetzerizer filters are the original filters for power line radiation reduction, and represent years of testing, design, and health studies. Scientists and researchers all over the world have used, tested, and published peer-reviewed studies based on Stetzerizer filters.

Because of the products' success, other companies have attempted to make imitations of Stetzerizer filters and benefit from the collaborative work of all the people associated with the Stetzerizer name. Some of these companies have even resorted to using misleading or flat out false information to try to market their knockoff filters. This page will set the record clear on the facts, so that you can make the right decision if you've been presented with knockoff filters.

We appreciate your continued support of Stetzerizer filters and the hard work and ongoing research of the individuals who have collaborated to develop this solution and continually advance the knowledge and research in the field of dirty electricity.


Knockoff Filters
Genuine Stetzerizer Filters

UL ApprovedNO. We haven't been able to verify the UL status of any knockoff filter.  Most knockoff filters have no safety certification.  We always recommend looking for the UL sticker on any product and contacting UL if you are unsure.
YES! Dave Stetzer went through the great expenses to obtain UL certification from the beginning.  Knowing it would be important for homeowners insurance, commercial insurance, and liability, UL is the standard in the US.  Always look for the UL logo on an electrical product.  Stetzerizer products have it!
Was developed by professionals doing documented research into dirty electricity.
NO. Knockoff filters were developed by people who came onto the scene later, after seeing the work done by Dave Stetzer, Dr. Martin Graham, and others.
YES! Dr. Martin Graham and Dave Stetzer developed these filters after extensive testing and hands-on research with animals and people who were suffering the ill-effects of dirty electricity. Dr. Graham and Mr. Stetzer reluctantly developed the filters because the electronics and power utility industries refused to take any steps to solve the problem themselves.
Instantly rendered safe when removed from outlet
