I Want Clear, Refreshing Water
what are my options?
Small Pitcher or Faucet mounted
Filters
Fairly low initial cost.
A small gravity filter
while able to remove unpleasant taste and odours
is not effective in the removal of heavy-duty
pollutants such as harmful bacteria, toxic
chemicals and heavy metals.
Quote from Brita water
filter cartridge packaging.
Caution! The Brita
water filter is not intended to purify water.
Reduced chlorine gives the
impression water is clean, but it's not.
Quote from City of Ottawa
Water Purification website
The presence of
organic nutrients in carbon filters
can promote
bacterial growth, as quickly as overnight."
Water Works Association has
described small cartridge units in a pitcher or
that attach to the tap as "totally useless",
because of their size and the brief exposure time.
Reverse Osmosis filtration
systems
Does not kill or
remove all bacteria.
Produces pure water that
is flat and tasteless.
Removes all the vital
natural healthy minerals.
Wastes up to 8 gallons to
produce 1 gallon of purified water.
Very slow process, taking
hours for one glass of water.
Holding tank is subject to
bacteria contamination.
Chlorine and hot water
adversely affect the RO membrane.
The RO membrane can
rupture without indication, allowing unfiltered
water through to your stored water.
Large and bulky system.
Expensive to maintain and
susceptible to metal deterioration.
High initial capital cost.
Water Distillation Systems
Removes the healthy
minerals producing water with a flat taste.
Expensive to
maintain with high electricity consumption.
Holding tank is subject to
bacteria contamination.
Many pollutants are not
removed.
Large and bulky system.
Typically not effective at
removing organic compounds such as pesticides and
Trihalomethanes (THMs-known carcinogen) .
High initial capital cost.
(Compair
with other methods)
Granular Activated Carbon
Filters
Will not remove harmful
bacteria or heavy metals from the water.
Does not require holding
tank but filter can become a breeding ground for
bacteria, requiring regular filter replacement.
Most units are sealed and
not cleanable (No replaceable cartridge).
Granular carbon permits
water under pressure to forge channels through the
granular carbon allowing unfiltered water through.
No pre-filter to prevent
premature clogging of the filter.
Leeching can occur from
the plastic housing into the water.
BOTTLED WATER
Fastest growing beverage
industry in the world. $22 billion a year with
little or no government regulation, standards or
controls.
Very expensive compared to
other filtered waters. 99% of cost is the bottle,
the label, transportation, advertising and profit.
Large bottles and
multi-packs are heavy and inconvenient to carry.
No disinfecting agent
(Chlorine) to prevent bacteria build-up during
storage, which is usually months or years. (check
expiry date)
Prolonged storage leads to
leeching of trace toxic chemicals from the bottle
into the water. (Phtylate and Vinyl Chloride).
Despite perceptions that
it's healthier, there is little difference between
bottled water and tap water.
According to the FDA,
"Companies that market bottled water as being
safer than tap water are defrauding the public
1.5 million tons of
plastic are used to bottle water every year.
Toxic chemicals are
released into the environment during the
manufacture and disposal/recycling of plastic
bottles.
Hhealthy minerals and
salts are often lost when water is filtered.
Even spring water is
subject to aquifer contamination.
The Nutri-Tech Water
Purifier with the Doulton PORCELAIN Ceramic
pre-filter
According to a quote from
the Alive' health magazine in an article
comparing all water filtration methods;
The best type of
filter to buy would be an activated carbon block
filter with a sediment pre-filter to remove
bacteria and parasites, and an automatic shut off
point when the filter has reached it's limit.
Removes all harmful
bacteria, parasites and viruses including Giardia
Lamblia Cysts, Cryptosporidium, E Coli, Fecal
Coliforms, Hepatitis B and Salmonella.
Removes all toxic
chemicals including dioxins, arsenic, asbestos,
Benzene, nitrates, PCB's and 100's more.
Removes all heavy metals
including lead, mercury, aluminum, iron, copper,
zinc, magnesium and silver.
Removes carcinogenic
chlorination bi-products (Trihalomethanes.)
Provides safe drinking
water during boil water orders or breakdowns in
the city's purification system. e.g. Walkerton,
where 6 died and 2500 were very sick, (some will
never recover), North Battleford, Charlottetown,
St. John's, Cranbrook, Kelowna, Sioux Lookout and
Milwaukee where 100 died and 400,000 were sick.
Washable sub-micron
Porcelain Ceramic pre-filter prevents clogging of
the cartridge and thereby extends its effective
life.
It is the only purifier on
the market that leaves calcium and other healthy
natural minerals and trace elements intact.
Stage three is a solid
carbon block, which is so compressed that it is
the equivalent of over 300,000 square yards of
filtering media.
Porcelain-Ceramic
pre-filter is impregnated with silver, which
renders its surface bacteriostatic, killing any
bacteria and preventing it from contaminating the
filter cartridge. This silver impregnation is
stable, unlike silver impregnated granular carbon
from which the silver soon leeches out and enters
your drinking water.
Ceramic pre filter also
acts as an automatic shut off valve by slowing
water flow to indicate that the ceramic needs
cleaning without risking contamination of the
cartridge or drinking water.
Because the healthy minerals
remain, the water has a sweet delicious
energetic taste.
The surgical stainless
steel filter housing is built to last a lifetime,
is easy to clean and maintain and comes with a
lifetime warranty.
Installation and any
required service on the filter is provided free.
100% of water utilized.
The Nutri-Tech Water
Filter is tall with a small base and therefore
occupies very little cupboard or counter space.
Good water flow. Produces
two litres of pure water a minute.
Can be used safely on
rural or municipal water unlike other filtering
systems that require chlorinated water.
Backed by two well
respected companies; BelKraft with over 40 years
experience in Surgical Stainless Steel and Doulton
of England a world leader who have been making
ceramic water filters since 1827 and currently
produce over 100 million filters a year.
It is the only ceramic
water filter that is NSF Certified under standards
42 and 53, and all media ingredients meet or
exceed NSF and England's Water Research Council
Performance Standards.
