Posted on by Rhona Reid

Every day, third-generation dairy farmer Art Schaap milks his 1,800 cows at his farm in Clovis, New Mexico. But not one drop of the 15,000 gallons he produces reaches any customers. Every gallon is dumped, every single day, due to PFAS contamination.

Keeping Lead Out of Your Drinking Water

Posted on by Rhona Reid

Lead is one of the most terrifying contaminants in our water.

Lead is dangerous not just because of what it does to your body (more of that in a moment), but because you simply won’t know it’s there. Many people think they would be able to recognize the signs of lead contaminating their water, but here’s the deal: lead cannot be picked up by your senses. Lead is completely colorless, has no odor, and – crucially – no taste.

You could be drinking lead from your tap, and genuinely have no idea.

Filter Facts: Why a Water Ionizer Beats a Pitcher Hands Down

Posted on by Rhona Reid

Let’s not beat around the bush.  If we ignore for a moment all the important benefits of hydrogen alkaline water and look purely at the issue of filtration, it’s no secret that there are cheaper ways to filter your water than with a water ionizer.  

Even the best jug filters can’t compare to a water ionizer.

At some point, many people consider buying a jug filter.  Pitchers are cheap and easy to use, but how do they really compare?  

Putting You in The Pitcher

Even the most high-end and technically advanced filter pitchers have only a tiny proportion of the capabilities of a water ionizer.  They remove some impurities from your water and make it taste better, but quite often, …

The Carcinogenic Substance Inside Kangen Enagic Water Ionizers

Posted on by Rhona Reid

There’s a problem with Kangen water ionizers, and Enagic – the company behind the products – is seemingly burying its head in the sand.

To give some context, many people buy a water ionizer to remove deadly contaminants from their tap water. Tyent filters remove and reduce a host of toxic elements, including notorious carcinogens such as Chromium-6.

So, what if you bought a Kangen water ionizer, only to later discover that not only does it provide scant information about the contaminants that its filters actually remove, but that a potentially carcinogenic substance is known to exist at the heart of the Kangen water ionizer itself?

It’s hard to comprehend, but true.
