Summary of a Variety of Water Treatments
TREATMENT
|
POSITIVE NEGATIVE ASPECTS
|
REMOVAL OF CONTAMINANTS
|
MAINTAIN
|
HEXAGONAL
WATER
|
REVERSE OSMOSIS
|
Wastes 3 out of 4 gallons of water in the process
Waste water is so concentrated with salts and minerals that it can become a problem to the good bacteria in septic systems.
Prolonged use of demineralized water can demineralize the body, weakening the immune system
Such slow flow rates, storage tanks are required
|
Removes all beneficial minerals, some contaminants and particulates (particles, pyrogens, colloids, microorganisms and dissolved inorganics)
|
Requires system drainage and sterilization and 2 types of filter changes
|
No
|
DISTILLED
|
Demineralizes the body, weakening the immune system
Organics such as herbicides and pesticides cannot be removed and become concentrated in the product water.
Requires large amounts of energy and water and is very slow to produce clean water
Distilled water can also be very acidic (low pH), so it should be contained in glass
It lacks oxygen and minerals and has a flat taste
|
Removes all minerals, some contaminants and particulates but not herbicides and pesticides
|
Requires change of filter every 3 months or 150-200 gallons
|
No
|
DEIONIZATION
ION EXCHANGE
|
Does not remove heavy metals or salt, most organics or microorganisms, particles, pyrogens or bacteria
Microorganisms can attach to the resins, providing a culture media for rapid bacterial growth and subsequent pyrogen generation.
Uses resin beads made of styrene and divinylbenzene to exchange ions
Can generate resin particles in the water
The resin must be "regenerated" once it has exchanged all its hydrogen and/or hydroxyl ions for charged contaminants in the water. This reverses the purification process, replacing the contaminants bound to the DI resins with hydrogen and hydroxyl ions.
High operating cost
|
Removes calcium, magnesium and iron, dissolved inorganics
|
Requires filter changes and regeneration of resins
|
No
|
NATURAL ACTION STRUCTURING UNIT
|
Water is passed through a double reverse helix vortex in either a portable unit or whole home/building unit resulting in hexagonal water.
The whole home/building model requires installation.
|
Neutralizes the biologically harmful effects of a vast variety of chemicals, materials and technologically made electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
Cleans water from almost all inorganic compounds,
including pesticides, nitrates, free radicals, heavy metals, bacteria and other harmful organisms.
|
No moving parts to maintain
No electricity required
|
Yes
|
ADSORBED CARBON
|
Removes disagreeable tastes and odors, including chlorine and dissolved organics
Does not remove dissolved solids, hardness, or heavy metals, lead, asbestos, cysts, and coliform.
|
Removes microorganisms and some organic chemicals, especially pesticides, chlorine, trichloroethylene, and PCBs, depending upon the type of carbon and the amount used, the design of the filter, rate of water flow, how long the filter has been in use, types of impurities the filter has previously removed.
|
Replace as needed
|
No
|
ULTRAFILTRATION
|
Uses small amount of energy
Will not remove dissolved inorganics
|
Removes most particles, pyrogens, microorganisms, and colloids above their rated size
|
Frequent filter changes
|
No
|
ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION
|
Will not remove particles, colloids, or ions
|
Sanitizes by oxidizing organic compounds
(185 nm and 254 nm) to < 5 ppb TOC
|
Bulb replacement
|
No
|
ALKALINE ELECTROLYSIS
(Kangen)
|
Water is split into two separate streams of water - acidic waste water and drinkable alkaline water, rich in minerals in a sealed chamber with titanium plates, under exact control of a dedicated microcomputer
Does not remove heavy metals, fluoride, chloramines, nitrate or arsenic and salt
Causes diarrhea or constipation from a few days to a few weeks after beginning to drink it
Limited processing capacity
Sometimes smells or is foggy
|
Requires multiple add-on filters that last 2-3 years to remove contaminants
|
Run Beauty Water daily for 1 to 2 minutes
E-Cleaning every 1-2 mos. Deep cleaning by manufacturer 1/yr
|
No
|
Living things, including humans, are extremely sensitive to pH. Blood plasma and other fluids that surround the cells in the body have a pH of 7.2 to 7.4.
A blood pH of 6.9 can induce coma and death. That is why all bodily systems are secondary in importance to the system of pH balancing. Your body will willingly shut down digestion, alter temperature, rob your bones of calcium, deprive your pancreas, just to maintain adequate fluid buffers of alkalinity to balance the `acid tide` we inflict upon ourselves through diet and stress.
DEFINITIONS:
Reverse Osmosis:purifies water using applied pressure, forcing water through a partially permeable micro-porous membrane to remove ions, molecules and larger particles.
Distilled Water: a water that has been boiled into vapour and condensed back into liquid in a separate container. Impurities in the original water that do not boil below or near the boiling point of water remain in the original container. Volatile compounds may boil before water so could still be in the distillate.
Deionization:deionizes water by applying an electrical potential difference over two electrodes, which are often made of porous carbon. Anions, ions with a negative charge, are removed from the water and are stored in the positively polarized electrode. It removes all of the dissolved mineral salts.
Ion Exchange:an exchange of ions between two electrolytes or between an electrolyte solution and a complex, which purifies, separates and decontaminates water or other ion-containing solutions. Exchangers are resins, zeolites or clay.
Spring Water: is comparable in purity to tap water. “100% pure” only means that the water came from an underground source. “Protected source” could mean the extraction pipe has a fence around it.
Filtered Water: is municipal tap water that has been run through a carbon filter to remove the chlorine.
Alkaline Water:has a pH level of 8-9.5. The pH level drops after a few days if not consumed.
Structured/Crystal Water:water that has been through a double reverse helix vortex, resulting in a hexagonal crystal structure (H3O2) which is mildly alkaline at about 7.1pH or 7.2pH. Amniotic fluid and the water in organs is structured. Water stays structured for up to 300 feet in straight pipes, 7-10 days in direct sunlight, 30 days in a plastic container, and 45 days or more in an environment of calm without stress, and in natural surroundings.
Structured Water is different than all other waters.
1. It has different optical properties;
2. It has a negative electrical potential/charge;
3. It is denser and its molecules are gathered more tightly and so it has a relatively higher resistance to flow;
4. It has higher boiling and lower freezing points;
5. Its refractive index and density are both about 10 percent higher;
6. It super-conducts photons and electrons;
7. It has a far greater capacity to activate light photons, and increase the biological and chemical activity of water
8. It restricts solutes/dissolved substances from entering.
9. Structured Water is H302.
Some perceivable benefits of structured water:
Increases hydration (intra-and extra– cellular) in 22 minutes;
Detoxifies the cells through superior hydration;
Establishes more alkalinity and thereby balances pH;
Doubles the immune system response in only 7 days;
Normalizes blood pressure and pulse rate;
Increases Oxygen content in the blood;
Enhances thought processing, mental awareness and creativity
