I'm sorry - I thought that I looked over that website carefully enough to spot a link to the English version. I guess not. I suppose the mistake shows how stressed I am (and "brain-dead" - especially in front of this computer!).
And I thought I was doing well to "recognize" the Dutch - or so I thought. (Sometimes I can "recognize" a language - even if I don't understand a word of it. :) ) I guess I should have known that I am way too mentally-foggyto distinguish Dutch from German.
I admire Europeans and how you are often fluent in English and other "non-native" languages. Most of us here in the U.S. can't even speak Spanish (the language of many of our close neighbors and of so many U.S. residents) - let alone other languages.
I'm afraid that I have a *lot* to learn to even understand how the product you recommended works - let alone how to install it. Do those filters filter out the "dirty electricity" coming into the home?
