About the deTekta meter

If you’re going to take dirty electricity seriously, you need to measure it. The deTekta is the simplest way to get quantified readings from any outlet in your home: plug it in, let the OLED stabilise for a few seconds, and read the millivolt value. Move to the next outlet. Repeat. In thirty minutes you can build a complete picture of which circuits in your home are clean and which are noisy.

Typical clean readings are below 30 mV on the deTekta scale. Values in the 30-80 mV range are moderately noisy and usually worth filtering. Above 100 mV is high — the kind of level that tends to correlate with reported symptoms for sensitive individuals — and almost always benefits from a DE3 filter cluster on that circuit.

The real value shows up when you’re installing filters. Measure before you plug a DE3 into an outlet, then measure again after. A filter that’s doing its job will typically drop the reading by 50-90% within a few seconds. Without the meter you’re guessing. With it, you have evidence — and you can see exactly how many filters a given circuit actually needs to bring the reading into a reasonable range.
