The utility meter is their property.  It has been recommended to carefully pack the meter safely with bubble wrap and take pictures/video and ship it to them.  Or drop it off to them personally and take pictures/video that you have dropped it off.  You want to make sure they can't lie and say you didn't give it to them, or due to incompetence they lose it and blame you.

Routers are designed poorly - they transmit usually at least 20 times a second and sometimes more.  They are usually set to transmit at full power.


Rather than trying to shield something that is designed poorly, we recommend buying a router that is designed correctly and gives you complete control over its output.  You can completely turn the WiFi off, or set it to a percentage of power.  The way we do them, they also transmit 1 time per second instead of 20+


Router cages/shields/boxes have unpredictable and varying results for effectiveness.  If you had a room full of lit cigars, you'd rather get them extinguished and removed than simply install an air purifier, right?  Similarly, it is better to fix the problem the right way than to try to cover it up with poor results.


Here are routers that are designed properly: https://www.electrahealth.com/wired_and_wifi_routers.html

We might be phasing out the PxDNA actually.  The cost/benefit ratio and the design is not to our liking.  You point out one of the design issues - lack of shielded cord and metal/grounded body.  We have not measured, but the fields would be the same as other 2-prong unshielded plastic devices - significant.

Hmmm there's the Russian B&E meter.  Maybe some oscilloscopes could be used with the right antenna configuration an settings, or a spectrum analyzer.  It is definitely trickier to measure it in the air.  Perhaps check with Stetzer Electric to see if they have any recommendations.

Hey Erin,


Sorry I missed your reply.


1) The plates are the same as the plates for the paint, here: https://www.electrahealth.com/YShield-Paint-Grounding-Kit_p_171.html  You would just need 1 grounding plate per canopy.


2) The plate works best, so I would use the plate with this: https://www.electrahealth.com/Grounding-Cord-with-Outlet-Plug_p_174.html - get one of these for each canopy


3) I don't think it's silly.  It wouldn't hurt anything, so you could go ahead and leave that.  I would ground it though.  You could ground it with one of the grounding cords - we can put an alligator clip on it.  That or you'd have to get it into the grounding plate with the fabric.  It kind of just depends on how things are situated and how you'd like to do it, but either would work fine :)

Yes, we really do NOT like any canopies that have metallicized/metal coatings on them. The Swiss Shield Naturell Ultra does NOT have metal coating on it. Building Biologists really guide people away from metal coating products and to solid metal, metal thread, etc. Swiss Shield uses metal thread.

The Naturell Ultra uses carbon (graphite) in addition to the metal thread. Normally the protecting coating placed over the metal threads in Swiss Shield fabric acts as an electric insulator, making the fabric non-conductive externally. So the Swiss Shield Naturell Ultra adds carbon to this protecting coating on the wires to make them externally conductive as well.  They are not as conductive as pure metal - almost like semi-conductive - but still works well to stop electric fields, for example.

Alligator clips can be used, but a grounding plate that clamps down with pressure screws is going to be more effective.  We have these.  So you would attach this to a corner or edge that is not visible or in the way, and it will ground the entire canopy.  If you have a pure metal floor sheet, you can keep using that.  If you have a coated sheet that could flake, you would want to replace it with the Naturell Ultra as well.

This is by far the best fabric, and the canopy design is really great as well.  As far as breathability - it is so large that that is not an issue.  The cheap and super awkward mosquito-net designed canopies are not as good breathability.

I think your grounding results would be as good, and if for some reason you have any issues we have some ways to improve it as well.  However, I think your results will be excellent.  It will be a lot safer and better than your current canopy.  Your framing system should work fine - it is not overly heavy or anything.  I'm sure you'll be able to figure out an acceptable/suitable way to use your current framing/support system.

Let us know about what you have on the floor right now.  We will get you all squared away!  People love these canopies - we don't get any returns on them ever.

Hello Heidi,


This is very common.  It is usually easily fixable too - so that is the good news :)  I want you to get a deeper understanding of the problem, why it happens, and how to fix it.  You can do this with our eBook on current on plumbing/pipes/etc and ground loops here: https://www.electrahealth.com/EMF-Bible--Fix-Electrical-Current-on-Your-Plumbing-Pipes-Printable-eBook_p_156.html


I would HIGHLY recommend reading this before having any contractors do any work.  This book could save you a fortune.  Also, you might consider a consultation where we can go over things 1-on-1 and cover both the water/plumbing pipes and the dryer issue.  So before you spend money with an electrician, who could likely do work and not fix the problem, you can get the correct advice for your particular situation and save money and frustration.

I believe it works, but I don't have specific information on that.  If you needed to return it, we could do that and waive the restocking fee if it does not work.  But most likely it will work great.  We are also looking into seeing if we can make one with lightning.  But this will probably take some time.


Thanks!

We are currently looking for a good surge suppressor to pair with the shielded 6-outlet power strip.  We will test and find a good one that doesn't raise the Stetzerizer readings and offer it alongside the power strip.  But I would definitely urge anyone considering the power strip to not hesitate or delay based on lack of surge suppression.  The likelihood that lack of surge suppression is going to affect any devices is very, VERY minimal.  And then when taking one's own health into consideration, I would much rather be protected versus surge suppression.  We will have a solution soon after testing and have an email about it.
