Want cleaner water? We all do. The media today is full of examples of poor standards in water processing plants that result in running tap water that's full of heavy metals and pesticides (spend a couple of minutes searching youtube for information and you'll see what we mean... or feel free to browser through our own Alkaline water information page).

We have a small range of Alkaline water fountains that are popular with our clients.

Alkaline water can help to neutralize acids in your bloodstream, boost your energy levels, increase intracellular hydration and replenish minerals. Additionally the detox effect may slow the aging process and help to prevent diseases caused by extended acidic pH levels. Alkaline water is a powerful antioxidant, helps to improve digestion and metabolism and lowers blood sugar levels.

‘Scientific surveys show that more than 80% of the population suffers from the effects of an acid-alkaline imbalance’

To be frank here in the west we need to find ways to treat acid blood, the scourge of modern living and rebalance our body. Acid wastes are not only from food and drink but also from stress and other pollutants that are dumped into the bloodstream and lymph. Keep in mind that an alkaline pH of 7.5 and above is the only range that is beneficial to your good health. An alkaline body is in a healthy state therefore allowing your body to fight bacterial and infectious disease as well as many other chronic and potentially serious conditions.

Here is an example of how our top of the range fountain works

It has one ceramic filter which is designed to take water supplied from the mains for the first stage of filtration. Then the water is filtered through the secondary 5 stage filtration process to remove bacteria, mud, rust, chlorine, chemicals, heavy metal, toxic substances and other impurities. The pure sweet tasting water is then alkalised to produce the health enhancing water our body craves. Here are the three stages in more detail -

Ceramic Dome Filter- acts as a physical barrier against pathogenic bacteria and protozoan cysts and has a fine pore size of 0.2 micron (0.0002 mm). Bacteria range in size from 0.2 to 5 micron such as E.Coli, Shigella and Salmonella. Giardia Lamblia, Cryptosporidium, and other Protozoan Cysts are 1-15 micron and are efficiently filtered out. The filter also acts as a pre-filter to the next multilevel filter. Multilevel Carbon Filter-

The Carbon cartridge has five stage filtration: 1. Silver activation granular carbon, traps dirt, rust, silt chemicals such as chlorine and ensures the water has a great taste. 2. Silica Sand a combination of oxygen and silicon. Silica is the mineral which promotes healthy bone and connective tissues and helps prevent premature aging, cardiovascular and Alzheimer’s disease. 3. Zeolite a natural volcanic material with a unique ability to exchange cations (positively charged ions). This substitution of ions enables Zeolite to selectively absorb harmful heavy metals such as mercury, lead and chromium. Zeolite exchanges sodium ions for calcium ions which results in soft water. 4. Mineral Sand is composed of many health related elements such as potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium. It keeps the water fresh. Finally 5. Ion Exchange resin which can remove any traces left of heavy metals.

Alkaline Filter- The Alkaline Filter main purpose is to raise the pH of the water filtered through the ceramic and multistage filters. It contains a predominance of biominerals which do just that. It does not contain the full spectrum of minerals that are contained in the other filters that we sell as it has to raise the pH of a large body of water. It mostly contains Tourmaline but also Water-Soluble Calcium Carbonate Ore, Coral Fossil, Binchotan Charcoal, Maifansi stone and dechlorinating stone.
