The most important thing you need to understand, when purchasing a water ionizer, is that drinking alkaline water is not only the healthiest thing you can do but is also the most cost-effective thing you can do!  You’ll discover that buying a water ionizer makes the most economic sense – and in the end it doesn’t actually cost you anything.  In fact, you can’t afford not to get a water ionizer as quickly as you can!

Let’s start by looking beyond ourselves. Our planet’s drinkable water supplies are quickly disappearing. Water is our most valuable natural resource, yet it is being exploited by giant corporations and sold for more than the price of gasoline in toxic plastic bottles shipped from China.  We all have to do our best to protect the Earth and our precious water or we will lose them forever!

The global water cartel is actually “mining” our precious water, rapidly making it more valuable than oil!  When water is pulled out of irreplaceable underground aquifers faster than nature can replenish them it’s called water mining. Greedy corporations search the world for fresh water like they do for oil or gold. Only with water “mining,” there’s no clean up from nasty oil spills – once a million-year-old aquifer collapses it is gone forever!   Since only 3% of Earth’s water is drinkable, these losses are truly catastrophic and more hazardous to life on Earth than the worst oil spill. We cannot clean up the damage to our aquifers – ever!

But that’s not all.  Even without considering the global picture, drinking the tap or bottled water is dangerous to both your health and the environment.  We all know that tap water is loaded with toxic chemicals and other contaminants, so we drink a lot of bottled water. Now we’ve found out that even bottled water is often nothing more than filtered tap water!  It’s also contaminated with chemicals from the plastic that leach into the water.  Then 200 billions plastic bottled end up in landfills every year, leaching those toxic chemicals into the environment that we live in and that our children are growing up in.

All this isn’t just theoretical – it has an immediate economic impact in your wallet. You see, when you do the math bottled water actually costs more per gallon than gasoline! How often do you drive around looking for a gas station a few cents cheaper – yet think nothing of buying a bottle of water that costs two or three times more than the gasoline!

In fact, bottled water actually increases the price of gasoline because making bottles uses up kilowatts of electricity and transporting bottle from as far away as China wastes gallons and gallons of oil. This increases the demand for oil and raises its price, so drinking bottled water costs a lot more than just what you pay at the register. It turns out that drinking alkaline water is the best bargain in town – it’s not only healthier, it costs you virtually nothing!

If you drink just one 16 oz. bottle of a moderately priced bottled water every day, at $2.50 or so per bottle an average family could be spending over $2,000 every year – more than the cost of a top-quality water ionizer. A family of four could be spending twice that.  So bottled water is ten times more expensive than alkaline mineral water you can make in your own kitchen for next to nothing!  And that doesn’t even include the savings you get on healthcare!

A water ionizer is a 20-year investment (the life of the electrolysis chamber), which calculates out to about $8 a month. The alternative is to spend as much as $600.00/month on healthcare – the average for Americans whether it comes out of your pocket or through government programs you ultimately still end up paying for!

Clearly, the answer isn’t throwing more money at medical care – or expensive government programs that just transfer the cost to future generations. The answer is to become healthier naturally! Without pills! Without hospitals! Even without doctors!  When you live a healthier alkaline lifestyle, eat a healthier alkaline diet, drink alkaline mineral water, exercise moderately and eliminate the acid-forming toxins that endanger your health, then you are likely to live a longer, healthier and happier life without as much need for doctors and their expensive pills or procedures. If you don’t need much medical care, you virtually eliminate those health care costs! You don’t need a medical degree to understand that — It’s just common sense!

So when you add it all up – the savings on healthcare, the savings on bottles of water, and even the savings that eventually comes from protecting the environment – the cost of buying a water ionizer is practically negligible. When you do the math you actually can’t afford not to buy a water ionizer!

With all this in mind, lets take one last look at the various warranties on water ionizers.  Every warranty has differences in the fine print, so the first thing to remember is that most modern water ionizers are well made and designed to last for many years with proper use and maintenance. Any stipulations in the fine print usually deal with issues like improper use, maintenance or cleaning, such as excessive build up from hard water, which you can easily avoid. The key, as always, is choosing a company that is reliable, knowledgeable and with good customer service. Even a lifetime warranty is just a piece of paper if the company doesn’t stand behind it or is out of business in a couple of years. Looking at these certifications is a good way to help analyze intangibles like reliability and reputation.

Remember, the bottom line is this: The only way you can be sure your family is drinking pure healthy alkaline water is to make it yourself!

Some scientific concepts may be stated in generalized or simplified terms to make complex principles easier to understand for the lay reader, however the underlying scientific principles and concepts accurately describe the theories they represent to the best of the writer’s abilities.

The 5 most popular water ionizer companies currently are Jupiter Science, KYK, LIFE Ionizers, Enagic/Kangen® and Tyent USA.  Each of these companies offers quality products that produce pure alkaline and acid water.  Between all of these companies you’ll find a machine to satisfy your needs. Experience, reputation and  service however varies from poor to excellent, so a company’s track record is especially important in this industry.

Jupiter Science/Dong Yang, established in 1982 and was one of the first water ionizer companies, they though no longer manufacture their own ionizers.  The U.S. distributor currently gets its’ products from a Korean manufacturer called Ionia.  Ionlife sells ionizers in the U.S. under several brand names.

Life Ionizers/Earthtrade Water, Inc. has been in business since 1996, with offices in California, Canada, Europe and Australia. Earthtrade Water, Inc. is a full-spectrum water products company offering both consumer, commercial and industrial products, from water filters to water ionizers. Life Ionizers was one of the first to offer ultraviolet purification, mesh plates and free external filters. Energy Frequency Technology is their latest innovation.

Tyent, USA  was established in October of 2007. They are a reseller for a small manufacturer in South Korea. Since being introduced to the U.S. Tyent has come out with several new models, including their more expensive Turbo models, similar to the Life Ionizer Turbo models. The company is still a little too new to have a strong track record for reliability, reputation or customer service.

Enagic started in the U.S. in 2004 when it introduced the LeveLuk SD501 ionizer – the same model it is still selling through its multilevel marketing business. Multiple levels of high commissions in this business model mean their units sell for many times more than comparable models by other companies. Since they focus more on marketing than product development, they haven’t made any product improvements in over five years. Enagic’s main claim, that they have the largest plates, is misleading since bigger isn’t necessarily better and their overall design is outdated. Their pH and ORP claims are also misleading since they use additives to increase pH, which is not needed in up-to-date designs.

Dr. Kim Young Kwi, a pioneer of water ionizer technology, founded KYK in 1982 in Korea. Like other early pioneers, KYK hasn’t kept up with the newest technologies. The latest KYK model tries to get around this with a few improvements. However, they only offer a 5-year warranty on most parts, with a lifetime warranty on the plates and electronics, which doesn’t compare well with the full lifetime warranties of Life Ionizers or Tyent.

We’ve developed a 10-Point Checklist of things to look for when buying a water ionizer. With the checklist you can use a simple process of elimination to quickly and easily compare companies and products:

1. Company reputation & history
2. At least 7 electrodes or plates
3. Mesh plates available
4. At least 200 watt SMPS power supply
5. At least 2 internal filters (with no calcium sulfite)
6. Customizable external multi-stage filters available
7. UV light system available
8. Convertible for countertop or under-the-counter installation
9. Availability of unique advanced features & models

10.  Industry & Government Certifications

The first brand to eliminate has got to be Enagic®. They are a multilevel marketing company, which doubles their price. Their older flat plate design requires oversize plates and an inefficient transformer. More modern models with comparable flow rates are available at lower cost.  Finally, they use high-pressure sales with an unacceptable 3-day initial guarantee and a poor 5-year warranty.

Jupiter was one of the pioneers in the industry. However, they are next to be eliminated because they are no longer a manufacturer and just haven’t kept up with the newer, more innovative companies. Their brand name is now just a label. Finally, Jupiter models have transformers instead of more efficient SMPS power supplies and they only have 5 plates.

Tyent USA makes some nice ionizers, especially the Turbo models, but they are a very young company with little track record. As a rule of thumb, it takes at a few years for a new company to work out all the “kinks.”  So if a new company comes out, you may want to wait until it has proven itself.  They only have a 5-year warranty on their most popular model.

KYK Ionizers traces their beginnings back to 1982, founded by one of the pioneers in the industry. However, they haven’t kept up with the newest technologies. The latest KYK model has few improvements. We’ve learned from reliable sources in Korea that KYK may be getting out of the competitive water ionizer business entirely.  Finally, they offer only a 5-year warranty (lifetime warranty on the plates).

With 14 years in business, Life Ionizers has the longest history of consistent reliability, with an A+ BBB Rating.  EarthTrade Water, Inc., is a real, full-spectrum water products company that does a lot more research, innovation and development than a company that only sells ionizers.  Life Ionizers also offers more innovations than any other ionizer company, such as patent-pending energy Frequency Technology. Finally, they are the only major company with a no-hassles lifetime warranty on all parts including the plates. After analyzing all the features and, more importantly, the intangible factors, Life Ionizers clearly stands out.

Except for Jupiter, with only 5 plates, the most popular models in this analysis have 7 plates and are comparably priced under $2,000. Tyent recently came out with a 9-plate turbo model. Life Ionizers now offers several new models including a 9-plate turbo model, an 11-plate commercial model and 4 industrial models with up to 4,000 liters per hour output.

Remember, the bottom line is this:The only way you can be sure your family is drinking pure healthy alkaline water is to make it yourself!

Some scientific concepts may be stated in generalized or simplified terms to make complex principles easier to understand for the lay reader, however the underlying scientific principles and concepts accurately describe the theories they represent to the best of the writer’s abilities.

Plates/Electrodes – Like many things in life, size isn’t everything! The overall design of a modern water ionizer determines its quality not any one feature. The relationship between plate size, total surface area and power that is what counts. All ionizers have titanium plates electroplated with platinum, though they use different names for that process, like platinum-dipped or double-dipped. The thickness of the platinum varies.  The thicker the platinum coating, the longer the titanium plates will last. Sprayed on plating is the thinnest and double-dipped is the thickest. Units with thicker, double-dipped plating are also able to offer lifetime warranties.

The best-selling ionizers have from 5 to 7 plates. A 7-plate machine performs about 40% better than a 5-plate machine and helps the machine last longer since more plates distribute power more efficiently. A 5-plate machine is adequate for many consumers, but a 7-plate design maximizes the pH and the -ORP and usually offers more advanced features and controls. Most modern water ionizers also offer mesh plates. Which increases the time that the plates stay in contact with the water. This makes mesh plates 5 to 10% more effective, producing the same output with less size and power.

The plates in a water ionizer need to be cleaned regularly to prevent built up of minerals plates, called scaling. Most systems do this automatically using “reverse polarity.” This simply reverses the charge to the electrodes causing them to repel any minerals that may be stuck to them. Then the cleaning system washes the plates in acidic water to remove any remaining scaling.

Power Supply – Like plate size, bigger isn’t necessarily better. Most of the top brands today use 200 watt or higher Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), like those found in flat screen TVs or laptops.  SMPS is a huge improvement over the transformers that ionizers used to use, running cooler and more efficiently. Ionizers with the SMPS power supply can also adjust amperage levels, letting you set the power you need for the hardness or softness of the water in your area.  Any model with 200 watts or more power is adequate either hard or soft water.

Filtration – The results you get with an ionizer depend on the quality of your source water! Lower cost ionizers usually have just one internal filter, which is barely adequate these days. Most modern ionizers have dual internal filters.  However, with all the chemicals, contaminants and prescription drugs that may be in water these days, a pre-filter installed before the water ionizer is highly recommended. If you have extremely hard water in your area, you may also need a scale filter to remove excess minerals. Electrolysis needs some minerals to work properly, so if you have a reverse osmosis system, which removes virtually all minerals, you may also need a remineralizer cartridge.

Flow Rate – The rate the water flows in an ionizer tells you how long the water stays in contact with the plates, which affects the amount of electrolysis going on. Most companies measure flow rates in liters per minute, but nobody really drinks water by the liter.  For a more realistic idea of flow rates consider how long it takes to fill up a glass of water – for most models this is from just under 10 seconds to a little over 15 seconds. A difference of 5 seconds or so for a glass of water is not going to be the deciding factor in a purchase decision, but a slower flow rate in a well-designed unit can actually be a benefit since it increases water’s contact time with the plates, enhancing ionization.

Controls – The solid-state controls on most modern water ionizers are comparable, though there are some minor differences. Some units have more pH levels than others., but only 7 levels really matter. Some units have only pre-set buttons – others let you adjust the levels within the pre-sets.  The main thing is that the controls should be easy to use and not confusing. Most have LED displays that are easy to read and some also feature voice prompts.  Avoid older designs that still have a mineral port used to manually introduce additives to the water for increasing pH. Modern systems do not need chemical additives at all.

UV Light Technology – Ultraviolet light is a popular means for disinfecting and purifying water because it kills bacteria, viruses, mold spores, fungi, oocysts (cryptosporidium and giardia), and other microbiological contaminants. Though electrolysis kills most of these organisms anyway, the extra protection of a UV system gives some people extra piece of mind, especially if you live in an area with more extensive contamination. Recent testing has also shown that UV can be effective at destroying certain VOC’s (volatile organic compounds), although UV is not specifically designed for VOC reduction.

Under-Counter Systems – Several ionizer companies offer models that fit under the sink or kitchen counter. Some under-counter kits provide a plain dual faucet, one for acid water and one for alkaline water. However, if you want to change the settings on the ionizer you have to reach under the sink to do so.  Look for under-sink systems with the electronic controls for the ionizer replicated inside the faucet so that the ionizer can be controlled right from the faucet.

Objective: To determine the filtration effects of Water Ionizers, if any, on the purity of water when dispensed via Water Ionizers in purified mode. Please note that this analysis was not conducted to determine the effects of Ionized Water but was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the respective filtration processes.

Water Samples were taken from the following units and sent to ETR Certified Labs® for an Independent Water Analysis:

• Tap water (at source to obtain a baseline)
• Enagic Kangen SD 501
• Jupiter Aquarius
• Life Ionizer 8100
• Tyent 7070

The above ionizers are the top of the line models from each manufacturer at time of testing.

ETR Labs® tested for the following contaminants:

The analysis revealed some disturbing facts about the quality of your water when passing through an ionizer in purified mode. We have condensed our findings to reflect only those items of concern. The individual report analysis is available by email request

Sodium Levels

Excess sodium intake is linked to: hypertension/high blood pressure and heart disease, fluid retention (oedema) and kidney stones.

Conclusion:

Whilst all Ionizer brands showed below EPA Levels for Sodium, it would appear the Life 8100 performed better than the others.

Potassium

(Please note there are no set guidelines for Potassium as set forth by the EPA, hence the zero reflection on the chart)
Dangers of Too Much Potassium – Hyperkalemia
A potassium overdose can also be dangerous. Known as hyperkalemia, too much potassium can result from kidney problems, severe infection, or diuretics that retain potassium.

Conclusion:
Currently, there are no EPA guidelines for potassium concentration in water. In reviewing the charts, it would appear that The Life 8100 performed better than the others.

Magnesium

(Please note there are no set guidelines for Magnesium as set forth by the EPA, hence the zero reflection on the chart)
Although during Ionization, Water Ionizers will in fact increase the Magnesium concentration, during purification mode these minerals are removed and this shows the effectiveness of the Life filtration system. With these types of impressive results, you know that other contaminants are being effectively removed.

Conclusion:
While the Kangen showed a slight elevation in Magnesium content, Jupiter and Tyent displayed the same magnesium content when compared against the baseline tap water. The Life 8100 showed a zero magnesium reading indicating a highly effective filtration system.

Calcium

Please note there are no set guidelines for Calcium as set forth by the EPA, hence the zero reflection on the chart)

Although during Ionization, Water Ionizers will in fact increase the Calcium concentration, during purification mode these minerals are removed and this shows the effectiveness of the Life filtration system. With these types of impressive results, you know that other contaminants are being effectively removed..

Conclusion
The Life 8100 shows the lowest concentration of Calcium Minerals.

T.D.S

The T.D.S. is the Total Dissolved Solids in the water and refers to everything that can dissolve in the water both good and bad. It is essentially a measurement of how much “stuff” is in the water. This refers to both organic and inorganic materials in the water.

Conclusion:
All Water Ionizers were consistent with the baseline tap reading while The Life 8100 indicates the lowest amount of TDS. This is indicative of a high quality filtration system.

Chloride

Chloride is a component of Salt (Sodium) People suffering from kidney disease and very young infants cannot tolerate high sodium intakes because their kidneys cannot excrete the excess. For this reason, salt should never be added to any foods for young babies. Too much sodium in the diet has been associated with an increased risk of developing stomach cancer and adverse effects on the kidney if there is some underlying abnormality. It is also one of the dietary and lifestyle factors that have been linked to high blood pressure or hypertension

Conclusion:
while the EPA Limits are extremely high for Chloride, all Ionizers showed significantly less Chloride with the Life 8100 showing the lowest levels.

Hardness

(Please note there are no set guidelines for Hardness as set forth by the EPA, hence the zero reflection on the chart)
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, more than 85 percent of the United States geography has hard water. Hard water forms when naturally occurring minerals enter water sources. Over time these minerals are absorbed by ground water. The hardness is composed of mainly Calcium and Magnesium.

Conclusion
Life 8100 was the most effective at reducing the hardness of the water.

Sulfate

Sulfate(SO₄) can be found in almost all natural water. The origin of most sulfate compounds is the oxidation of sulfite ores, the presence of shales, or the industrial wastes.

Sulfate is one of the major dissolved components of rain. High concentrations of sulfate in the water we drink can have a laxative effect when combined with calcium and magnesium, the two most common constituents of hardness. People not used to drinking water with high levels of sulfate can experience dehydration and diarrhea. Kids are often more sensitive to sulfate than adults. As a safety measure, water with a sulfate level exceeding 400 mg/l should not be used in the preparation of baby food. Older children and adults become used to high sulfate levels after a few days

Conclusion:
While all Ionizers and tap water were well below the EPA guidelines, The Life 8100 showed no traces of sulfate indicating a superior filtration system.

Alkaline Water Helps Slow the Aging Process. The body is fighting a war between acid and alkaline and aging are a sign that the acids are winning! Basically, as you age your body has a harder time getting the energy/electrons it needs. Alkaline water helps neutralize acids associated with aging and disease, and provides more electrons/energy. On a more biological level, alkaline water is a powerful anti-oxidant because it has plenty of electrons/energy to donate, neutralizing free radicals which would otherwise steal electrons/energy from more important places like your DNA! Alkaline water also helps your stomach make bicarbonates to neutralize acidic toxins. This is important as you age because the body loses some of its ability to make as we get older.

Alkaline Water Improves Absorption, Hydration & Detoxification. Electrolysis or ionization changes the hydrogen energy bonds of water molecules, creating smaller hexagonal microclusters of water that reduce its surface tension. This makes water more easily absorbed into cells, for improved nutrient delivery and hydration. This also helps you flush acid wastes out of your body. Your tongue can even taste this difference because alkaline water actually tastes better, smoother and sweeter, also improving the taste of anything you make with it.

Alkaline Water Helps You Lose Weight and Keep It Off! Clearly, if you are on an overly acidic diet it will be hard for your body to find the buffers it needs to neutralize all your acidic toxins. You cannot just have acids floating around in your alkaline body since they could kill you. So if your body cannot flush acid wastes it must bury them behind tons of fat on your belly, hips and thighs! Obesity isn’t a weight problem – it’s an acid problem! Alkaline mineral water is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to help your body neutralize acid wastes before they get parked on your thighs, and eliminate acids that have been stored there for years.

Remember, the bottom line is this:

The only way you can be sure your family is drinking pure healthy alkaline water is to make it yourself!

Also, if you thought hydrochloric acid in the stomach is responsible for digestion, that is another misconception. The chemical process that makes sodium bicarbonate has a waste-product called hydrochloric acid! The hydrochloric acid itself doesn’t digest anything!  However, in the event that you inadvertently eat dense proteins like meat, for example, the hydrochloric acid in your stomach comes to the rescue. But even now it doesn’t “digest” or breaking down proteins itself, it is part of a chemical process that creates enzymes that break down proteins. Of course, because it happens in the presence of such a strong acid, your body now has a serious acidic mess to alkalize before it can safely enter the small intestines – because ALL food you eat must be alkalized before it can be utilized.

Remember, your body ultimately runs on electrons/energy – not vitamins, amino acids or minerals. What these nutrients really do is contribute electrons to where they’re needed! But for this to happen everything you eat must be in the only form that has electrons/energy to contribute – which is alkaline.  So the stomach is really an organ of contribution, as Dr. Robert O. Young would say, not digestion!

Though your body is designed to be alkaline, everything that we humans do creates acids!  Dr. Young says humans are “alkaline by design and acidic by function.” When you understand this all the health benefits of alkaline water start to make a lot more sense! It is very important that you base your decision to enjoy a healthier, more alkaline lifestyle on this understanding rather than blind faith or it won’t be sustainable. Armed with understanding you will be self-empowered in your commitment to a healthier, more vibrant alkaline-based lifestyle!

If you’re concerned about the contaminants in your local water supply, we encourage you order a Free Water Quality Report to get a more detailed analysis of what is coming out of your tap. The results are emailed directly to you and our expert water consultants are always available to discuss any questions or concerns you have with your report.

Two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom – is that all it took to create life as we know it or is there something more going on? The answer is, emphatically, YES!

Water has amazing secrets that science is only beginning to unlock., However, our ignorance has led us to take water for granted – abuse it, pollute it and forget how vital it is, from the smallest bacteria to possible life on other planets.

The science of Quantum Physics is beginning to unravel the hidden mysteries of water. One of the major secrets of water lies in the energy bonds between its hydrogen and oxygen atoms.  These relatively weak hydrogen bonds may seem unimportant, but they play a significant role in water’s impact on all life. The hydrogen-bond length of H-2-O molecules, for example, affects the electrostatic forces around them in a way that can change the energy of electrons in your RNA. RNA transmits DNA information into cells, controlling their chemical reactions!

So how is it that tiny changes in hydrogen-bond lengths or the energy in electrons can have such a huge impact in our bodies? Amazingly, it only takes a very tiny amount of ions in water to make it a powerful conductor of electrical energy, which is why we don’t use a hair dryer in the bathtub. In pure water you only need to break down or “ionize” one molecule in 550 million into hydrogen ions (+H) and hydroxyl ions (-OH) to make it conductive. The conductivity of water, measured by pH, determines its alkalinity or acidity.  This ability to conduct energy ultimately controls all chemical reactions in the human body, making the balance of acid and alkaline the single most important factor affecting your health.

Chemical reactions only happen when electrons or energy can flow between atoms.  When you ionize water you give it more energy to donate in the form of electrons to the atoms in your body that need electrons for their chemical reactions. “Alkalize” and “energize” both refer to adding electrons/energy to your body.  Most of the life-giving, healthy processes in your body are those that give it electrons/energy, called alkalizing the body. Most unhealthy, aging, disease-casing and toxic phenomena of the body are those that steal electrons/energy, called acidic or “oxidizing” (which means to burn up, rust, break down or decay).

There are several ways you can make your body more alkaline.  Drinking alkaline water is one of the easiest, but alkaline water is almost impossible to find these days. Most natural sources have been contaminated and most of the water we consume has been filtered, treated, processed and bottled. When we confine, contaminate, store, pump, filter, chemically treat, pollute and process water it loses electrons and alters the hydrogen-bonds of the H2O molecules. This reduces its ability to donate electrons making it less alkaline, more acidic and less healthy.

You can also eat fresh fruits and vegetables, which are very “alkaline-forming” since fruits and vegetables are mostly made up of water that is highly alkaline.  But cooking, processing, chemically treating, microwaving, genetically engineering and irradiating food causes it to lose electrons, also making it more acidic.

Less electrons = more acidic = less energy for chemical reactions

More electrons = more alkaline = more energy for chemical reactions

The bottom line is that live, healthy alkaline mineral water, whether found naturally in a remote mountain spring, in organic produce or made in a water ionizer, is the primary way that all life energy is stored and transmitted!  Only 3% of the water on Earth is fresh, drinkable. So when we waste this vital resource we destroy precious life energy permanently!

The “special compound” found in our HFS, was developed from information and adaptations of NASA technology. The millions of dollars which NASA spent on research enable us to deliver the healthiest water to you at a lower price. After all, your tax dollars have already given us the insight and technology to create the compound, you deserve the benefits.

This “special compound” removes toxins, lead, chlorine, toxic volatile organic compounds such as, chloroform, pesticides and herbicides which may be in your water. Each of these contaminants has been linked to either heart disease, cancer or other health related problems.

The “special compound” used has been tested and certified by the National Testing Laboratories.

What is more is that this “special compound” reduces organics, industrial and agricultural pollutants including chlorine, chloroform, herbicides, pesticides, and heavy metals such as lead. In addition, this “special compound” removes unpleasant colors, odors, tastes, sediment and turbidity. It does not remove beneficial dissolved minerals that are essential for good health.

The HFS blends various types of activated charcoal with other active and inert ingredients.

The “special compound” consists of a blend of various chemicals, including carbonaceous materials, which are subjected to selective oxidation to produce a highly porous structure. These materials may be thermally or chemically activated to produce an apparent surface area in excess of 2,000 square meters/gram.
