Hi Lisa

First you must determine what the type of inverter. Quasi sine wave inverters are normally cheaper and they produce very dirty electricity possibly accounting for the high readings observed.

The output wave form in quasi sine wave inverters is square hence rich in harmonics.

Pure sine wave inverters could help solve the problem they are readily available now on ebay from de-commissioned computer UPS back up power supplies and have outputs 600-700 watts normally 24 volts.

Also consider changing appliances to run on DC as suggested. This reduces all the fluctuating emf's associated with ac voltages and could help maximise the health benefits of a marine environment.

all the best
