VFD drive and line reactors

I have a 1 HP GS-1 drive from Automation direct. 115 VAC input. I
have been running it with no line reactor or filters for the better
part of a year with no problems. In fact, Automation Direct doesn't
even offer line reactors for 115 VAC input VFD's.
My drive is mounted at the motor (leads less than 2') I'm not saying
the reactors are not a good idea, I'm just saying I don't have one.
I have a server running from the same distribution panel with no
problems. I do have it running through a Tripplite line stabilizer
though.
And remember, I'm not an electrical engineer, I just play one on the
internet...
