WATER, WATER FILTERS AND WATER PURIFIERS
Does
my drinking water need to have a water filter?
Water
makes up over 70% of your body. There is growing concern about the quality
of tap water in our homes and water pollution. This means water may have
an unpleasant taste or smell and even appearance. The chemical treatment
and cleaning process used in many cities contribute to this problem.
So, the answer is yes! It is critical to make sure our bodies get enough water and it is also important the water we drink is safe - the best way of ensuring this is to drink mineral water and use water mineral filters and water purifiers.
What
bacteria are likely to be in my water?
Giardia
and cryptosporidium are the two bacteria known to most people. There has
been an outbreak of giardia in Sydney, and cryptosporidium in Wellington.
The latter can cause flu-like symptoms which may last from one to three
weeks in healthy adults. No-one is immune to these diseases and they can
be life threatening.
The main source is animal faeces which can contain harmful cysts. Land runoff carries cysts into lakes and streams and rivers where water treatment plants collect the water. The cyst is tiny with a hard shell which protects it from chlorine, the most commonly used disinfectant in water treatment.
What
impurities do the Health Products filters remove?
Health
Products water filter systems not only kill bacteria and prevent bacteria
propagation but also remove harmful chemicals and heavy metals.
These include chlorine, herbicides, pesticides, lead, nitrate, hydroxide, detergent, ammonia, oil and grease, iron rust, cyanide, arsenic, organic matter, manganese, dissolved solids and many more.
Why
do I need to use a shower water filter?
A
person absorbs many contaminants showering, through the skin. The hot
water from the shower opens the pores and chlorine and other contaminants
are absorbed easily like through a sponge. They go directly to the blood
stream. There is a proven link between chlorine and bladder cancer.
Another concern is inhalation of the fumes. The shower area is relatively small, making inhalation of the steam (including chlorine) easy. And chlorine bonds with and destroys the proteins in your hair, making it dry and unmanageable.
The shower water filter removes the chemicals including chlorine. It is a great health and beauty aid - dry skin can disappear, natural oils remain in the scalp and hair becomes healthier, dandruff disappears, sinus irritations reduce, skin becomes softer and smoother and hair dye will remain true longer. Many people take baths as well as or instead of showers. The same principles apply to the bath water, so you should consider a whole house water filter and water purifying system.
Is
chlorine unhealthy?
Chlorine
is a known pollutant that causes heart disease and many other health problems.
Chlorine is not a substance you would choose to swallow. It has been used
universally to “cleanse” water but the latest water treatment
plants are now using ozone generators. These leave no residues, unlike
chlorine which reacts with dead plant material to form carcinogenic trihalomethans.
Health Products Mineral Pot and water filter removes chlorine through
activated carbon made of coconut shell, creating pure, clean, mineral
water.
Why
choose a Health Products mineral pot and water filter?
The
Health Products Mineral Pot and water filter not only purifies and sterilises,
it also activates the water. By using a patented substance called somelite
in combination with mineral sands, Health Products water filters are able
to activate the filtered water by adding sea-based trace elements such
as selenium, calcium, potassium, iodine, silicon, iron, and zinc, among
others, creating healthy mineral water. No other water filtering system
does this.
Will
a Health Products water filter or water purifier affect the taste of my
water?
Yes,
our water filters and water purifiers will make it taste a whole lot better.
They not only remove harmful and smelly chemicals but increase the dissolved
oxygen in the water. Dissolved oxygen actually improves the taste and
gives life to drinking water. As well, the activation of the water, which
means 20 different types of sea based minerals are added, also enhances
the quality and taste making it far superior to any land based mineral
water.
How
does the cost of a water filter compare to buying bottled water?
Typically
bottled water at the supermarket is between a $1 and $3. If you purchase
a $125 Health Products Mineral Pot and water filter, and you fill your
bottles from this you could save yourself up to $6000 in a year for a
family of three, drinking between 2 and 3 litres and day each.
What
kind of mineral water filter do I need?
Health
Products have several different kinds of water purifiers and water filters.
Portable, point of use (counter top), under bench and counter systems.
The under bench water filter and water purifying systems are designed for easy installation but if you do not want to tap into your main water line or you are renting your home, the faucet mount or the bench top filters are the best for you.
How
do I know when to replace my water filter?
Every
Health Products water filter, mineral pot or system you purchase has a
calendar of when you need to change them. There are several types of water
filtering or plumbing systems with each product - some are changed weekly,
some six monthly. As well as the calendar, our sales staff will contact
you and remind you when the larger water filters (eg those water filters
which which need replacing every six months) are due for a change.
