    Default Trying to track down a UK based manufacturer of mains filtering equipment....

    A couple of years ago I came across a fairly small specialist UK based company that offered some reasonably priced solutions for mains cleaning / isolation / filtration, iirc one of them included an external mains rod and some cabling.

    For the life of me I now can't remember who they are / what they're called, despite hitting the search engines. It's that age-old problem of not being able to find the thing if you don't know what it's called! :-)

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Sadly not. This is a small "one man band" (approx) no-frills firm, more technical than marketing. I even contacted the guy a couple of times and he was very helpful.

    yes thats the one i was going to say .
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
