Water, the essence of life and the basis of good health. Welcome to a new experience in water… Introducing the Wellness Filter® System The Wellness Filter® was developed over 20 years ago in Japan by Haru Naito, a famous physiologist who coupled purification and enhancement technologies into this award winning water filter. Designed to produce a purified and enriched water, this patented system has received the praise and endorsement of institutions, physicians, universities, researchers and users in Japan, USA, Australia, New Zealand, China, Canada, and Korea. The Wellness Filter offers you a quality and essence of water that only a selected few have previously had...water the way nature intended it. Purification for Decades The Wellness Filter® offers a patented purification system that is unlike any other on the market today. Using an innovative backwashing and regeneration system, many of the Wellness Filter® models offer users a virtually permanent filter that never needs replacement cartridges or chemicals. The Wellness kitchen unit, for example, has been tested to NSF standards and has been shown to reduce chlorine by 99.97% for over 28,000 gallons -- the equivalent of 28 years usage for an average family of four. Designed to satisfy the rigorous standards of the World Health Organization, the Wellness Filter® removes an extremely broad range of contaminates. Filters are available in whole house, kitchen, shower, carafe, and travel configurations...a model for every conceivable need. Enhancement The Wellness Filter® uniquely enhances certain properties of water that improve its already vital role in our health, fitness and wellness. This enhancement process is available in every model of Wellness Filter® we offer. Enhancement takes place in the body of the filter after the purification process is completed. Water is directed through multiple layers of rare Japanese minerals, high gauss magnets and proprietary ceramics before the enhancement process is completed. Wellness Filter® enhanced water has been shown to differ from regular tap or filtered water in four ways: Increased solubility - NEC Corporation independently tested Wellness Filtered water and found it to have an unexpected increase in solubility...over 100%. This means that it is more capable of dissolving compounds whether they are vitamins entering your body or dirt on your clothes. Increased hydration - Wellness Filter® water hydrates the body faster and also leaves the body faster. This improves water's critical ability to aid the body in transport of essential nutrients and the elimination of waste byproducts. Addition of trace minerals - The mineral media in each filter is designed to slowly release critical trace minerals such as silica, magnesium, and yttrium. These trace minerals have been found to improve cellular function and now added to many nutritional supplements. Negative ions - Each Wellness Filter® releases naturally-formed, negative ions into each quantity of water produced. These ions act like antioxidants do and neutralize free radicals...a principal cause of aging and certain diseases like cancer...inside and outside your body. Better-Than-Bottle-Quality Water at Affordable Prices With both purification and enhancement, the Wellness Filter® gives you what many believe is the best source of drinking and bathing water on Earth.
