Anyone have the Answer?

I am trying to learn how to measure my ac lines to see if they need
conditioning or Regeneration. 

Now it seems to me a person would want to know how bad an issue
they have before tossing out $3-7k for a machine to fix it.

I have asked this question on several forums and so far no one has ventured an answer.

Or are we as consumers supposed to just accept an issue exists and buy the product?

I'm not an EE but I use an Alpha Labs EMI line meter. It allows me to see what's going on.

LOL. Trip lite 300.00 usd.. 10-12 copper outlets.. 2400 watts, filter above 20k and 40k. Save your money.. 5K? for what? I spent 8 dollars on silicone to quiet the transformer noise by 95%. All 3 work perfect and very quiet.. It has lights in lue of gages to show surge.. 308.00 They maintained 120 vac on a 110 vac line for 3 months.. That's fixed now. They are tough...NO they don't have 5K of jewelry called a case with gages.

Maybe not the answer you are looking for but see if you can find on Ebay etc a Monster Power, Dr. Power which will plug into your AC outlet and allow you to listen to the noise on your AC line at each outlet you plug it into. There are some other devices that do the same thing but at the moment I can't think of their names.
