Mains Filter Adaptor

Crash

SMOOTHING OUT THE SPIKES Duraplug have come up with a unit that takes your electricity supply to the laundry. A lot of modern electrical equipment, including video recorders and computers are susceptible to problems caused by voltage surges in the mains supply. Quite often, appliances in another part of the building or street cut in and can cause very nasty things to happen to the data in a computer that shares the same local supply. If you're just about to reach an all-time high-score on the latest Megagame and Sid next door decides to use his power drill, the result can be very annoying. More serious users, busily processing words or doing very hard sums with their computer, may suddenly lose hours of work. Duraplug's MAINS FILTER ADAPTOR is a straightforward solution to the dirty mains problem. It pops into a wall socket, and you plug your computer's powerlead into the adaptor. A red LED indicates whether the power is on at the wall and as long as you don't try to draw more than a total of 3 amps through the unit, all should be ticketty boo from then on. Providing there are no interruptions in the supply, that is... Around the £18 mark, available from most electrical shops.

Duraplugs simple and elegant solution to the problems of Dirty Mains (that's not Franglais for grubby paws, either). Their MAINS FILTER ADAPTOR retails for £18.
