Some Facts About Water

Quality and Health

Our body is made up of more than  65% water.  Water is essential for all functions in our body as it carries nutrients to our cells and removes waste matter.

In addition, water acts as a natural lubricant for limbs and joints.

Recognising the importance of water for our healthy living, Health Authorities recommend we drink not less than 8 glasses of water per day. It is difficult to comply with this recommendation unless we like the taste of the water we drink and we are sure about its quality.

Today, it is virtually impossible to find pure water in its natural state as H2O. There are two main types of contaminants found in water.

The first: Bacteriological, including E- coli and cryptosporidium.

The second: Chemical, including organic chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides and PCBs and inorganic chemicals which include heavy metals such as lead and mercury.

Bacteriological contamination of water can cause various diseases such as fever, diarrhea, stomach cramps and vomiting. Chemical contamination of water is very serious and more difficult to treat, and can cause carcinogenic diseases.

By far, the most effective water purification method is distillation. Distillation mimics the hydrologic cycle in that, water evaporates through boiling leaving contaminants behind, then condenses similar to how clouds form, and then the water collects in a jar or tank in the way that rain falls. All of our Precision distillation products mimic the water cycle in exactly the same way. This process results in water that is 99.9% pure. No other filtration or purification system can compare. No other system can improve upon the natural processes that govern the hydrologic cycle, which has supported life on Earth for billions of years.

As global warming begins to affect weather more and more, water quality is becoming more of an issue. With an increase in natural disasters striking around the world, how do we protect our water? Last year alone, thousands of boil alerts went out. Having a distiller provides the highest quality water; better than simply boiling where toxins can build up. During a boil alert, those with RO or pitchers would still need to boil their water. With Precision home water distillers, one would not need to boil their water. These distillers will produce, clean, fresh, delicious contaminant-free water.

Distillers remove these contaminants and so much more…

• bacteria
• viruses
• pesticides
• lead
• arsenic
• nitrates
• chlorine
• salt
• uranium
• pharmaceuticals not removed by water treatment plants (source: Scientific American “Only Half of Drugs Removed by Sewage Treatment“)
• Many, many More!

During chemical spills, water filters or RO will not be able to remove contaminants completely. Boiling water concentrates contaminants. Often times, distilled water would be safe to drink. Additionally, many spills are found after people have already been exposed. Drinking distilled water is the only way to truly protect oneself from unknowns in the water supply, whether they be chemical or biological for that matter.

Another method of filtration involves reverse osmosis. RO, as it is often called, uses high pressure to force water through a semi permeable membrane. It will remove some dissolved salts, organics, bacteria and pyrogens. Reverse Osmosis involves cross filtration rather than standard filtration. In standard filtration, the contaminants are trapped in the filter media, while in cross filtration contaminants are swept away to avoid build up and to keep the membrane clean. RO is fairly good at removing dissolved salts when the membrane is new, but cannot be relied upon to remove bacteria or viruses, especially when the water has no residual chlorine present. As RO membranes age, the pores in the membranes become larger and allow more and more impurities of all kinds to pass through into the treated water.

Benefits of Purified Reverse Osmosis Water

  Studies show that metabolic acidosis is associated with many degenerative diseases, can accelerate aging, and cause weight gain. Discover how alkaline water helps neutralize damaging acids.

Alkaline water is used for:

· Healthy Part of Weight Loss

· Natural Detoxification

· Powerful Hydration

A Healthy Part of Weight Loss:

A recent study on alkaline water reports that people who drank alkaline water lost an average of 12 pounds over 2 months.

Drinking alkaline water daily may help:

· Maintain your metabolism

· Reduce appetite

· Support healthy probiotics

· Promote healthy weight loss

 
Natural Detoxification:

Alkaline water has been shown by clinical research to help the body expel 10 heavy metals.

Drinking alkaline water daily may help:

· Protect against the toxic effects of mercury

· Helps the body excrete toxins

· Optimizes detoxification regimens

Powerful Hydration:

Ionized alkaline water hydrates better than plain water and helps supply the body with essential minerals.

Drinking alkaline water daily may help:
