Sorry, didn't see that email link.
So, perhaps I could get the Furman to replace my Battery BackUP (what's your opinion on BackUPS?) and keep the BrickWall for my TV, VCR, etc.
Then I can use the Quantum Powerstrip for my air cleaner in the living room(I have an APS Surge Protector for that now).
I could also get a Quantum Powerstrip for my bedroom where I have another air cleaner plugged into a Curtis Surge Strip.
For my fridge I could either use the Quantum Power Sentry plug in or a Tripplite Isobar (which is a pretty robust 2 outlet strip with isolated outlets). The Tripplite is a better surge suppressor I'm sure but would it help prevent dirty electricity from the fridge from going through my wiring, that's the question)Perhaps the Quantum would be better for this.
What's your opinion of the Stetzer Powerstrips, or would I just be better off with the Quantum's if I'm not going to put the Stetzer Filters all over the place?
