Before you drink that bottle of water ,
watch this…
Bottled Water
Bottled water is not necessarily healthier than tap water and yet it costs much more! Although associated with healthy water, bottled water is not guaranteed to be any healthier than tap water. Often the only difference is the added minerals which have no proven health benefits. A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council shows that 1/3 of the bottled water tested contains levels of contamination which exceed allowable limits. Not to mention the toxins in the plastics themselves, including phthalates, BPA, BPS, & PVC.
In the U.S., tap water is continuously monitored and treated according to federal standards. If local tap water is unsafe, water companies are obligated, under federal law, to notify the public. So even if your water system has contaminants, it is still SAFER to drink from your tap and properly filter that water than waste your money on plastic bottles.
An article published by Time magazine in March of 2018, reports a study “carried out on more than 250 water bottles sourced from 11 brands in nine different countries revealed that microplastic contamination was nearly universal, found in more than 90% of the samples”. So, not only are you paying for TAP water in a PLASTIC bottle (that comes wrapped in more plastic) but you are likely to be swallowing micro-plastics.
Finally, the environmental impact caused by the production and disposal of plastic bottles is harmful to our ecosystem.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis is a filtering process which may be effective in areas that do not receive municipally treated water and is commonly used in bottled water facilities. The problem with this process is that dangerous chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and chlorine are molecularly smaller than water and can pass freely through the filter. Reverse osmosis removes healthy, naturally occurring water minerals. These minerals not only provide good taste, they also serve a vital function in the body's system. When stripped of these minerals, water can be unhealthy. Also, 2-3 gallons of water are wasted for every gallon of purified water produced.
Tap Water.
Tap water is a healthier option than soft drinks. But according to the Environmental Working Group, there have been 315 pollutants found in America's tap water since 2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally exist in any amount. At the current levels of contamination, the public is starting to question the quality of tap water and wonders if it is safe enough to drink. Based on these facts, it's no wonder that the demand for Kangen Water® is constantly increasing
Environmental Impact
With an estimated 50 billion single-use plastic bottles sold every year in the US alone, only 9% are recycled.
8,000,000 tons of plastic is dumped into the ocean every year. That is equivalent to 5 grocery bags per every foot of coastline around the globe.
The bottled water industry is highly unregulated and the water has been proven to contain toxins such as BPA that is linked to cancer and other health issues.
Enagic’s focus is to help solve the global issue of toxic drinking water and destruction of our eco-system from single-use plastic water bottles.
A 15 Year Cost Projection:
Kangen Water Versus The Price Of Various Popular Bottled Waters
Experts have argued that buying bottled water is 2,000 times more expensive than drinking it straight from the tap. With water costing as much or more than gas.. let’s take a look at the true cost of your water.
When you are anticipating the purchase of a water ionizer, there are many considerations. Of course one of the important factors is cost. But it is not just the immediate cost that should be a factor, but also the long term projections. There is also a logic to looking at these figures over a long period of time, since the Enagic SD501 is expected to last approximately 20 years or more with good care and maintenance.
NOTE: Figures were calculated based on a family of four, using a recommended daily water consumption formula of ½ the body weight of each individual in ounces of water.
