Water Purification and Filtration

There are many ways to purify water. We thought we would discuss some of these methods.

Ozone

Ozone is a GREAT way to purify your water. Ozone (O3) is the triatomic form of oxygen (O2). It is oxygen in its most active state and is an extremely potent oxidant that has been shown to posses’ broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. Ozone is not just another disinfectant. Ozone is a true sterilant. It has the ability to completely destroy not only bacteria, but also viruses, spores, fungus, mold, mildew, cysts, and many other contaminants while at the same time breaking down dissolved organic materials by oxidation. When ozone (O3) breaks down it naturally reverts back to oxygen (O2).

Both the FDA and EPA certify that ozone destroys 99.9992% of all pathogenic germs, while oxidizing (destroying) 99.9992% nearly ALL other pollutants in the water at the same time.

Besides just cleaning your water, ozone also can have very therapeutic effects.

Steam Distillation

QUALITY distillation is capable of removing all FIVE major categories of water pollution.

Steam distilled water is produced by a completely natural process: simple heating and cooling, like earth's natural rain process, resulting in a product with completely pure qualities. This is because natural processes are at work in the distillation system - heat, steam and gravity. Steam is always produced by the boiling process of distillation while gravity is always on the job, separating dissolved solids from the steam.

Carbon filters (Charcoal)

Many purifier systems use activated carbon filters as the first filter, carrying out the role of a mechanical pre-filter. There are many different grades of carbon, ranging from granulated activated carbon (GAC) to premium ultra compact activated coconut shell carbon. With some systems, if this filter is used to filter out sediments, then iron and even calcium will plug up the microscopic areas of adsorption, shortening its effective life considerably. The carbon filter removes a host of contaminants such as chlorine, pesticides, herbicides and other inorganic materials.

Far Infrared Light

One of the reasons FIR has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses is the ability of FIR waves to remove toxins, which are often at the core of many health problems. Since humans are bio-accumulators, numerous toxins that cannot be removed immediately after entry are stored in our bodies. For example, when toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide or toxic substances such as lead, mercury or chlorine meet large water molecules, they are encapsulated by the clusters of water. Where these toxins are accumulated, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired.

However, when a 10 micron FIR wave is applied to these large water molecules, the water begins to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms which are holding together the molecules of water. As the breakdown of the water molecules occurs, encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released.
