Mossy,
They told you that you have " Dirty " electric? Har, har, he, he, har!!! Sorry to say, but there is no such thing! You either have electric or you don't! If there is 110 volts there, then it will work. " Dirty Electric", what will they come up with next?? Har, he, he har.
After 30 some odd years of workn' for a large electric utility I am hear to tell you there is such a thing as "dirty" electricity. Just let one little connection somewhere between the generator and you get loose, or have a weld with some splatter and there you have it. The tv and radio people call it static. Sometimes you can see it, that's called corona.
