  • PH-Can cause heavy metal(lead) leaching, plumbing damage.
  • E. Coli Bacteria-Strains of e.coli causes serious illness or death.
  • Fluoride-Causes cancer, memory loss, joint issues, attacks thyroid, kidney stones, bone weakness, hyperactivity and more.
  • Arsenic has been shown to cause "Skin damage or problems with circulatory systems, and may have increased risk of getting cancer"
  • Cadmium has been linked to "kidney damage"
  • Copper: "Short term exposure to Copper has been shown as a possible cause of gastrointestinal distress; Long term exposure to Copper has been linked to "Liver or kidney damage"​
  • High Mercury concentrations in drinking water can lead to "kidney damage"

​Snippet from Shirley's Wellness Cafe

Safe, toxin-free, Ionized, Energized, Drinking Water helps to naturally flush toxins and acidic waste from the body and is a powerful antioxidant. Ionized Water makes more oxygen available to our cells than distilled, reverse osmosis, filtered only, bottled or tap water and is the best possible drinking water. "Disease and early death is more likely to be seen with the long term drinking of purified water. Avoid it except in special circumstances." Zoltan P. Rona M.D

"Chlorine is a halogen that damages enzymes. It does not belong in our bodies as part of our water needs!! For starters, chlorine potentiates magnesium deficiency, which can cause almost any symptom you can think of from high blood pressure, to chemical sensitivity or even sudden death. Furthermore it also decreases the absorption while increasing the excretion of calcium and phosphorus. The increased loss of calcium into the urine, promotes osteoporosis. It is known that it not only contributes to hypertension, but also cancers of the pancreas, colon, bladder and has been linked to heart attacks, diabetes, kidney stones and much more. "

"To make matters worse for pets, some people still use plastic water bowls. Most, if not all, of these absorb and retain numerous toxic materials." Dr. Christopher Day (England) reports..."I once had an epileptic dog I had been treating unsuccessfully for eighteen months. One day its plastic feeding bowl was accidentally broken and replaced with a ceramic one. The fits stopped immediately."

The fluoride filter uses the advanced CQ-900 media resin designed to remove not only fluoride but also lead and arsenic. The added combination of Coconut Shell Carbon or Granulated Activated Carbon(GAC) and Eagle Redox Alloy media increases the systems' effectivity in removing hundreds of other contaminants from your drinking water. Undersink water filter systems do not add clutter to your kitchen as it works behind visibility.

​Fluoride  is commonly known to be used on dental products. It is a naturally occurring element which is present in water and soil at varying levels. Municipal water treatment plants commonly add fluoride to the water for prevention of tooth decay and maintain a regulated concentration for safety. Today, fluoride has found its way to our homes in more ways you can imagine. From dental products to food, beverages, medicines and even utensils that cause an increase of fluoride content in food. Fluoride may cause health problems if present in public or private water supplies in amounts greater than the drinking water standard set by EPA. According to the EPA, exposure to excessive consumption of fluoride over a lifetime may lead to increased likelihood of bone fractures in adults, and may result in effects on bone - leading to pain and tenderness. The last thing you want is fluoride in your water.

​Eagle A1000AS Anti-Scale Saltless Water Conditioner

Picture
​Eagle A1000AS Anti-Scale Saltless Water Conditioner is a mid-size whole house water filter system that involves 4 stages of filtration. Filtration process is distributed into 3 20 inch filter cartridges for Sediment, Solid Carbon and Ultrafiltration and 1 Medium sized tank for the Anti scale media. This Saltless Water Conditioner applies a new technology which transforms the calcium and magnesium carbonate(hardness) of the water into mechanically stable and heat resistant calcite crystals(nanometer size) which no longer cause lime deposits. The calcium and magnesium crystals are simply rinsed away. 

Calcium Deposits Before-After
Calcium and magnesium carbonate (hardness) creates scale in pipes, on appliances and other plumbing surfaces. This leads to higher heating and energy costs and expensive repairs to appliances. Scale can also be a source for bacteria to grow, which can be a health concern in drinking water applications. The Anti-scale process removes the already existing scale from pipes and heat exchanger surfaces(descaling effect) and further protect the system from future formation of scale(scale protection effect). 

The media works with a catalytic surface. Once water contact occurs the nanocrystalls on the ceramic surface of the media create calcium crystals from the positive calcium ions. These calcium crystals are neutral and can not attach to any surfaces. This applies to pipes, appliances, water heaters as well as machinery surfaces. This works with cold water as well as with hot water. The nano sized crystals are rinsed away by the water flow. All harmful characteristics of the calcium are neutralized.

​Washing Machine Inline Water Filter

Picture
​Washing machine inline water filter traps sediment before it reaches the washing machine inlet valve screen. Allows for water to run freely without being interrupted or clogged. Filter eliminates the need to clean the inlet valve screen. Will work on cold and hot water up to 320F (160 C) degrees.
hand  washing machine filter
 
A problem area on all washing machines is the need to clean the inlet valve screen of sediment buildup. As this screen gets contaminated, the water flow slows, adding extended time to the wash cycle and distorting the water temperature. In extreme cases, the sediment gets trapped between the solenoid, allowing the water to continue to flow, creating flooding.
Our survey indicates this screen should be cleaned every 3-12 months for homeowners on well water. This screen is located behind the machine at the base of the water line and requires the machine to be pulled out, hoses disconnected, the screen carefully removed and cleaned.

​Fluoride: A Serious Health Risk for Both Dogs and Cats?
Written by Michael W. Fox, DSc, PhD, BVet Med 

​The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has just released a study of 10 brands of manufactured dog foods analyzed for fluoride content. Eight had levels that could put dogs at risk from developing bone cancer, thyroid disease and other health problems.
 
The EWG advises dog owners to avoid dog foods containing chicken by-product meal, poultry by-product meal, chicken meal, beef and bone meal, turkey meal and lamb meal. These "meal" contain ground bone that is the source of fluoride that farmed animals accumulate. The pet food industry should work with government regulators to establish fluoride safety-level limits in pet foods.
 
Cats may also be at risk from chronic fluoride poisoning when similar cheap ingredients are included in their manufactured dry and canned foods. Thyroid disease is extremely common in cats, a disease in part linked to fire-retardant bromide compounds in carpets, upholstery, and in contaminated sea foods. Fluoride levels can also be high in canned fish products like salmon and sardines, especially in whole- fish- with- bones, dioxins and PCBs being additional contaminants of concern in farmed salmon.
 
This problem of fluoride contaminating some brands of pet food is compounded by pets being given fluoridated tap water to drink. Providing companion animals with purer water, like reverse-osmosis treated water, is advisable. (Brita-type filters do not remove fluoride). Cooking with fluoridated water simply concentrates fluoride in the food, a point that all pet food manufacturers must consider in addition to the ingredients they use in their manufactured pet foods.
water filters
​Those dog and cat owners preparing their own pet food and who include ground bone as a source of minerals might consider using alternative calcium supplements if the bone meal they purchase has no labeling as to fluoride (and lead) content. Ground bones from longer-living farm animals like dairy cattle, laying hens, and breeding stock are likely to contain higher levels of fluoride than shorter-living chickens, calves, and lambs. Fluorides accumulate in the body of farmed animals over time from such sources as phosphate fertilizers, phosphate supplements, bone meal and fish meal supplements, and pesticide and industrial-pollution-contaminated pastures and animal feed. The bones, fins, gills and scales of fish are often high in fluoride.
 
Pet owners preparing raw food diets like the BARF (bones and raw food) should play it safe and use young chickens and other animals and avoid including ground bone from older animals like beef, cattle and adult sheep. I would also advise using only the cartilaginous knuckle or joint portions of cattle and sheep that are a source of chondriotin, glucosamine, and other beneficial nutrients, and not include all of the bones in ground-up raw food diets.
 
Alternatives to commercially available bone meal (calcium phosphate) include fossilized oyster shell (calcium carbonate), dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate), and various chelated and non-chelated synthesized or refined calcium supplements (that contain less lead and probably less fluoride) like calcium citrate, ascorbate, stearate and gluconate, all marketed for human consumption. The questionable amounts of fluoride in calcium supplements may have some margin of safety because calcium supplements and antacids (like calcium rich Tums) can block fluoride uptake in the digestive tract.
water filters
The maximum levels of lead, mercury and cadmium in human food supplements allowed by the authorities in Europe are 3 mgm/kg, 0.1 mgm and 1 mg/kg respectively. "Tolerable" levels for fluoride are 1.5 mgm/day for 1-3 year old children, 2.5 mgm/day for 4-8 year olds, 5 mgm/day for 9-15 year olds, and 7 mgm/day for all over 15 years of age including adults. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University, the US tolerable levels are 2.2 mgm/day for children aged 4-8 and 10 mgm/day for adults. The US government ( EPA) allows a maximum of 4mgm/liter of fluoride in drinking water.
 
Against these figures, the Environmental Working Group's findings of over 9 mgm /kg in dog food with chicken meal as the primary ingredient (possibly from recycled laying hens) is indeed pause for concern.
 
It should be noted that such "tolerable" fluoride levels are not acceptable for human patients on kidney dialysis, and cats and dogs with kidney disease are likely to be more prone to fluoride poisoning when impaired renal function means more fluoride retention in the body.

​Dr. Mercola Discusses Water Filters

PH levels and alkaline water

Drinking alkaline water helps our body dissolve acid wastes and make it easier for the body to dispose of them safely. Since the accumulation of acid wastes is aging, the reduction of acid wastes is reverse aging. Alkaline water is not a medicine to cure any disease. However, if consumed regularly, alkaline water gradually reduces the accumulated acid wastes. As a result of acid reduction, there are many reports of natural health improvement in Japan. One American cancer center showed significant improvements in their cancer therapy by getting 1,000 patients to drink 7 glasses of alkaline water a day. Their research concluded that the alkaline minerals in natural, alkaline water with a pH 7.5 helped to neutralize acidosis and thus helped to prevent cancer.

Alkaline Ionized Water has two antioxidant qualities, its negative charge and the presence of hydroxyl ions which are free radical scavengers. The body is starved for electrons and Alkaline Ionized Water contains an abundance of them, which nullify free radicals in the body. One can thrive on half the normal intake of food as long as we consume high electron-rich nutrients. Alkaline Ionized Water is an extremely effective antioxidant because it is a liquid that has a small grouping of water molecule clusters and thus is more easily absorbed into the body where it can be of immediate use. Drinking Alkaline Ionized Water gives you energy through better hydration and alkalization of the body and by providing the body with oxygen. Because of the predominance of hydroxyl ions in Alkaline Ionized Water, the water becomes alkaline, meaning it has a high pH. The pH level can be adjusted with a water ionizer between 7.5 and 9.9, which is the highest pH that it should be consumed. All disease thrives in an acid environment in the body and will not flourish and thrive in an alkaline environment.

Ionized Water is a Powerful Antioxidant that provides our body with an abundance of oxygen which gives us energy. It posses a negative charge, which is also an antioxidant. It balances our body pH, which helps prevent disease because it is alkaline. It is a Powerful Detoxifier and Superior Hydrator, up to six times more hydrating than conventional water. As things oxidize, the ORP rises. Rust is metal that has oxidized. In the human  Confessions of a Body builder alkaline waterbody oxidation is caused in part by free radical oxidation damage. As we age, our body's ORP continually rises because we are oxidizing faster. The higher the number, the greater the oxidation. Alkaline Ionized Water has a negative ORP therefore it offsets the positive ORP of our body as it is oxidizing or aging. Thus, we counteract the aging process by putting a negatively charged liquid which dampens the positive ORP of our oxidizing body. Realistically, we need to drink at least 1 to 2 gallons of strong Alkaline Ionized Water per day in order to expect significant slowing and reversal of the aging process.

Since this alkaline water has twice as many alkaline minerals as the original water but NO acid minerals, it is more than twice as potent as the original water. Inside our body, it will neutralize only acidic elements and discharge them safely out of the body. Drinking 8 glasses of regular water can leach out acidic wastes as well as some valuable alkaline minerals such as potassium. That's why doctors test your blood when you are going through a serious diet program. With this alkaline water there is no worry about losing potassium from your system.
