The Problem
"This much we know: If we put toxic chemicals into the ground, they will eventually end up in the ground water we drink. Nearly 80% of the toxic wastes end up in the ground, where they will stay for decades, even centuries. The country is literally laced with millions of potential contamination sites". (Congressional Research Service)
Over 500 billion pounds of hazardous chemical waste are improperly disposed of every year.
Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine. (The US Council of Environmental Quality)
Chlorination of our water began around 1900. In 1900, just 3% of Americans were diagnosed with cancer. Today the American Cancer Society estimates that close to 40% of women and 50% of men will get cancer. There is a universal agreement among researchers that diet plays a major role in almost all types of cancer. The poisoning of our food and water supply is a phenomenon of the last half of the second century; who can doubt there is a connection?
Drinking chlorinated water kills the friendly bacteria needed for proper food digestion. It also causes atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes.
Chlorine combined with natural organic matter creates cancer causing trihalomethanes (THMs) or disinfection by-products (DBPs). Higher levels of THMs result in higher levels of cancer.
There are over 600 DBPs in municipal treated water and only a few DBPs are regulated. Scientists estimate there are 600 more DBPs that have not been identified.
Skin absorption rates for toxic chemicals show much higher rates than oral ingestion. Inhalation from showering can be up to 100 times greater than from drinking the water.
Hard drinking water with higher amounts of total dissolved solids (or minerals) are both associated with lower mortality from heart disease and cancer. There are 10% to 15% more cardiovascular deaths in soft water areas than in hard water areas.
TDS, hardness and high pH water can protect us from cancer. 10% to 25% reduction in cancer deaths can be contributed to a higher level of TDS and pH above 7.
Creating "Healthy Water" or "Living Water" means removing the harmful agents while keeping the beneficial minerals. Minerals in drinking water are more easily and better absorbed than minerals from food.
Water softeners do remove beneficial minerals and add salt to your water and the environment.
Water softeners are being banned by the government because of the environmental impact caused by salt discharge.
Reverse osmosis has also become a popular name in water filtration. RO is sold with the water softeners to remove the salt that is added by the water softener. RO removes beneficial minerals and wastes four to eight gallons of water down the drain for every gallon you use.
The Solution is Aqua Vantage ™
Eight stages of treatment mounted on a compact 36" X 24" panel are designed to address chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic chemicals, heavy metals, and pathogens. City water enters through the brass bi-pass valve and is treated with ultra sound to structure the water. Minerals are suspended to prevent the effects of hard water in the home. Beneficial minerals are left in the water for your health and drinking pleasure. Surface tension is reduced to increase filtration efficiency. Water with lower surface tension is absorbed into the body more efficiently. Coral Calcium is used to further enhance the minerals in the water. Three steps of filtration are then used to reduce contaminates and toxins. Each stage is designed to protect the next stage to maximize efficiency. Water entering the Ultra Violet light receives a second dose of ultra sound to prevent scale deposits in the UV chamber and in the home.
Aqua Vantage ™ was designed to solve the inherent problems with water quality and the way water is being treated. You can find hundreds of different water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, water purification systems, water filtration systems, water filter systems of all kinds shapes and sizes for all kinds of prices. You will only find one water purification system that addresses all of these concerns and more. It's called Aqua Vantage™, and it's affordable. Aqua Vantage™ actually pays for itself in hot water energy savings, bottled water, salt and cleaning products. Other benefits include protecting your health, home and the environment.
