Brief Review of Wellness Water Filters
The
Wellness water filter range includes several
different types of water filters that purify water by removing
biological,
physical and chemical contaminants from it, and additionally enhances
the
health-giving properties of water by means of special media. This
Wellness
water filter review will describe three different types of Wellness
water
filters: the kitchen water filter, the shower water filter and the
whole home
water filter.
Why
do we need water filters in the
first place? It's a fair question! The fact is that the water that
comes out of
taps and showers at home is not truly pure and healthy, even if it is
officially designated as "drinkable" water. Many scientific studies
and chemical analyses have shown very clearly that "drinkable" tap
water has small but significant concentrations of synthetic organic
compounds
and volatile organic compounds, as well as biological contaminants like
bacteria, viruses and cysts, not to mention of course chlorine, which
is
deliberately added to the water on the grounds that it kills bacteria.
It is
true that chlorine kills some bacteria and other pathogens, but there
is a
reason for which it is able to do so: chlorine is a strong oxidizing
agent!
This means that it has an effect on human skin too. Specifically, it
makes the
pH of skin too low (too acidic), and also stresses the skin through its
oxidizing effects, irritates it and makes it dry. These effects
all cause skin to age considerably more quickly than it would if it
wasn't
exposed to chlorine.
The bottom line is that regardless of whether you drink or shower with
the
water -- and chances are you probably do both -- you will want to
remove all of
these contaminants (including chlorine) if you want your water to be as
healthy
as possible. This is where the Wellness
water
filters can
help you.
Wellness
Kitchen Water Filter
The Wellness
kitchen water filter, as
the name suggests, is mounted in the kitchen.
One of the coolest features of this water filter is that it filters
water
between two and three times faster than other water filters. Slow water
filters
are annoying and a waste of time! The Wellness kitchen water filter has
been
experimentally shown to remove 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.99% of
viruses. (The
percentage is slightly lower for viruses because they are much smaller
than
bacteria, but note that in both cases
the figure is pretty
much 100% for all intents and purposes!) The Wellness kitchen water
filter uses
activated carbon to filter contaminants out of water. The activated
carbon
consists of small carbon granules with millions of pores that trap
synthetic
and volatile organic compounds as well as bad odors,
bad tastes, heavy metals and asbestos. The most dangerous water
contaminants
are grabbed by the activated carbon and retained.
Of
course this means that the activated carbon needs to be replaced
sooner or
later, and the excellent engineering of the Wellness kitchen water
filter
allows this to be done quickly and painlessly: it has a delightfully
straightforward and reliable twist-lock cartridge replacement system.
The
Wellness kitchen water filter's excellent engineering is also shown in
the fact
that it is truly leak-proof. This is a big deal, because if the water
filter
leaks, you can have serious flooding in your home very quickly.
Wellness
Shower Filter
The Wellness
shower filter is
specifically
designed for showers. Why bother with a shower water filter? After all,
you
take a shower to wash, not to drink, right? Well, in actual fact, the
quality
of the water with which you shower is just as important as the one that
you
drink, because every inch of skin on your body is exposed to this
water!
Additionally, most people use hot water to shower, and hot water makes
the skin
pores dilate. Dilated skin pores give harmful water contaminants
greater access
to your skin and the damage therefore increases. The problem with
unfiltered
shower water is chlorine. Chlorine has a number of negative effects on
skin: it
makes it too acidic, it irritates it and above all it makes it
incredibly dry.
Dry skin wrinkles much quicker than properly hydrated skin!
The Wellness shower filter removes 99% of the chlorine present in
water. This
increases the water's hydration capacity by 115%. In other words, not
only does
the Wellness shower filter remove chlorine and its negative effects --
it also
makes an active contribution to your skin's health because it will
receive
greater hydration benefits from the filtered water. Of course the
Wellness
shower filter also removes bacteria and other pathogens, which is
important
because some of these bacteria are very dangerous to the eyes,
especially if
you are a contact lens wear. On top of all that, Wellness shower
filters use
the proprietary Wellness Enhancement Technology to actively add
beneficial
effects to the water by means of a number of special media (Tenko-Seki,
Magnetite, Bakuhan, Taicho
and Quartz).

Wellness
Whole
House Water Filters
Wellness
whole house water filters have
one enormous advantage over all the others: they filter the water
before it is distributed to appliances and the various points of exit
in your
home. This means that you are not protecting just yourself from the
water
contaminants, but the plumbing and your appliances as well. By using a
Wellness
whole home water filter you are sparing the plumbing and appliances the
wear
caused by physical sediments, corrosive chemicals and chlorine. All of
these
contaminants have small but significant effects on appliances and
plumbing, and
they add up over time. For this reason a whole home water filter will
pay for
itself many times over by reducing the wear of your house's plumbing
and
appliances.
Like
the other Wellness water filters, the Wellness whole home water
filter has
an immensely effective activated carbon filter that removes
contaminants. It
also has the Wellness enhancement technology. The Wellness whole home
water
filter conditions and treats hard water without using aggressive salts
or
chemicals. Additionally, it inhibits the growth of fungi and bacteria.
Wellness
Water Filters Review:
Conclusion
The
Wellness water filter range is
extremely effective and thoroughly tested. They have an edge over all
other
water filters available on the market because in addition to using the
industry-standard activated carbon to remove harmful contaminants from
water,
they actively add beneficial properties to the water by means of the
proprietary Wellness Enhancement Technology, which uses rare and
valuable
volcanic media to add highly beneficial properties to the water. This
means
that Wellness water filters do not just remove harmful contaminants to
the water, they also add
good things to it. If you are highly
health-conscious, the Wellness water filters are definitely for you!
