WITH OTHER METHODS
OF WATER TREATMENT
It is difficult to directly compare Ionizing Water Filters with other
forms of water filtration because an ionizer is so much more than a
filter. However as many customers have asked us to do so, we present below
our comparisons, based on many individual tests and research.

TYPES OF WATER FILTERS

Reverse Osmosis

Distillers

Ultraviolet

Backflush

PiWater
Charcoal
Water Filters utilize charcoal derived from coconut husk as a filter
medium. This absorbs impurities as the water passes through. This form of
filter comprises possibly 95% of those in use domestically, because they are
simple to install, relatively economical, and filter out the most deadly of
contaminants, Cryptosporidium and Guardia. An average charcoal filter will
last a family 6-9 months. Some charcoal filters are enhanced by the use of
activated silver, which provides extra antibacterial protection. Minerals in
solution can still permeate a charcoal filter. These minerals are essential
to health.
Reverse
Osmosis RO water filters use a fine membrane to filter through
osmotic process. They take everything out of the water, leaving it pure.
Usually installed under-sink, they require a serviceman to come every few
months to install a new membrane. Produces Acid +Ph water, not
healthy...
Distillers
use electricity to heat tap water to boiling point. Impurities are left in
the boiling container and the purified condensate drains back into a clean
container. They require a fair degree of power and cannot give immediate
supply, because the boiling process must be completed before water is
available. There is now a number of reports that distilled water is not good
to drink long term because it leaches nutrients from the body, being the
most 'unnatural' of water. Please refer to other articles we have on this
important subject.
Ultraviolet water filters use a UV
light to kill bacteria in the water. They are very seldom seen in domestic
units because of the problem of keeping the light clean. Some water ionizers
have small UV lights fitted but they have been shown to have little or no
effect.
Backflush
filters: Every now and then a 'new' system appears on the market
claiming to offer extremely long life without filter changes. This is
usually a backflush system. There are no proven long-term backflush systems
on the market - probably because their claims of long life without filter
change never live up to the facts. They are almost always two to four times
the cost of the basic charcoal water filter unit, but justify this by their
claims of longevity. Imagine how your sink would look if you used only hot
water and no scrubbing to clean it!
None of
these groups provide ionization
OTHER FORMS OF WATER TREATMENT
There are many
forms of water filters and all have some merit. These include:
-
Magnetic
-
Energetic
-
Vortex
-
Chemical
additive
Magnetic
Fundamentally,
this involves passing the water over or through a magnetic field. This has
the effect of rearrangement of ions. Without the fundamental 'splitting' of
ions that occurs in the Water Ionizer (H2O to OH- and HO) lasting change is
not possible, although many claims are made by the manufacturers. Free
standing magnetic units do not filter or change pH. WE have tested units
that utilize magnetism and have found a wide variation in results.
Energetic
These are
usually attached at the entry of water to the home. They 'align' the water
using various methods based to varying degree on the works of Viktor
Schauberger, Pioneering water researcher. Although they do 'soften' the
water, they do not change the pH or the REDOX (Positive or negative charge)
of the water, nor do they filter the water. In our experience, water filters
attached to systems with previously installed Energizers work extremely
well.
Vortex
A number of
units use vortex flow of water prior to output. They also appear to soften
the water, but do not filter, ionize or change the REDOX potential.
Chemical
Additive
The most well
known of these is MICROHYDRIN, a tablet that when added to water,
changes the REDOX dramatically. Normal dose requirement per person is 4 per
day at about $0.50 each Big Bucks.
A new entry to
the market is "Unique Water" which is ordinary spring water with added
magnesium carbonate. This wholesales at $0.55 per 600 ml bottle, and for
minimum recommended therapeutic use, two bottles per person per day is
recommended. For a family of four this comes to $1584 per year and
slightly less than 3,000 plastic bottles per year. The water is not ionized.
Pi Water
PiWater
is the combination of conventional filtration (sand bed, charcoal) with
magnetic, mineral addition and FIR energetics. It acts like a standard
countertop water filter but it also adds beneficial minerals to the water,
changes the molecular structure, magnetizes and energizes using a unique
form of ceramics. The Pi-Filter will last up to 3 years with normal use
before needing replacement.
OUR COMPARISONS
These
comparisons on water filters are derived from our own experience and
research. This comes from factory supplied test data plus certified
laboratory tests we have had commissioned. We do not guarantee that every
result is correct because we rely on data given us by suppliers.
