I guess I have never heard the term " Dirty " electric. Where I am from, we call that a bad connection and fix it! My point is: In a home you ALWAYS have fluctuations in electric ( I.E. Dryer being turned on ), It uses BOTH busses if it is an electric dryer, therfore it will cause a fluctuation in ALL the circuits on both sides of the panel. You can't call that " dirty " electric. That's NORMAL operation! If someone had a problem ( as you have stated- loose connection, etc. ) in their household electric, then I agree with the scale manufacturer 100%. If not, then the scale is at fault and the manufacturer should fix it. We shoudn't have to take the scale apart when we get it and start adding resistors etc. to make it operate correctly on normal household current, it should be that way when we get it.

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.
