Why do people prefer drinking mineral water

Simply put, out of the 80 different trace minerals, our bodies needs at least 10 minerals daily, to make hormones and enzymes. That's why eating vegetables is important as vegetables absorb the inorganic minerals from the soil and convert them to organic minerals that your body can readily use.

Due to the different osmolality levels in the body, if the water you drink lacks minerals, the existing minerals in your body will leach out, causing a mineral deficiency. This means drinking RO or distilled water is very dangerous.

So remember, a good water filter or purifier should give you H20 together with oxygen and dissolved minerals, but does not contain any parasites, viruses, heavy metals and chemicals.

Only the Seagull IV water purifier can REMOVE 99.99999% of all viruses, parasites, heavy metals and chemicals in the water, up till the last drop. This means you only change your filters, when no more water comes out. This cost saving yet highly effective security feature is the safest option for the whole family.

R O Systems deplete fresh water resources

To produce 1 litre of RO water, you would have wasted 3-12 litres of our fresh water resource!

If that is how you plan to save planet earth, then I dread to think what water our kids will be drinking 30 years from today!

Everyone is making a conscious effort to recycle and reuse, but yet there are those around us, who continue to use RO water systems and waste so much of our fresh water supplies.

Let's look at what the RO system is really, to know how this waste water comes about.

Reverse Osmosis uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate water from impurities. Usually used for industrial waste water treatment and as desalination units to obtain fresh water from sea water, this technology has found its way into the domestic market.

High pressure pumps are used to force the water through these membranes, causing 1 part to pass through and 3-12 parts to waste away.

Other than the major drawback of wasting precious water, the others include, high electricity costs and high membrane maintenance. These membranes cannot remove bacteria, dissolved gases like chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, chloroform and phenols. Membranes can be easily damaged anytime before the 6 month lifespan, and you could be drinking untreated water.

RO water is devoid of minerals and trace elements, essential to good health. Prolonged consumption of RO water, leads to minerals like calcium and phosphorous leaching out of the body, causing weak teeth and bone loss and fractures in the elderly.

Water is essential to life, and should be regarded as our most important natural resource. RO systems waste 3-12 litres of water to produce 1 litre and such waste is unacceptable.

What's the absolute or biggest size?



Most water systems only advertise the smallest hole but not the largest one.

Logically, a hole size 0.4 microns is sufficient to trap the smallest water borne cyst with a particle size of 0.5 micron. And a hole size of 0.1 microns is sufficient to trap dissolved chemicals and heavy metals in the water.

Every filter unit will have different hole sizes, so don’t be cheated by units claiming to have a hole size of 0.00001 microns. Not only is it a sales gimmick but also cheats uninformed consumers,

The problem with water in Asia is the high sediment content, due to aging leaking pipes. If mud sediments can get into your piped water supply, so can other contaminants as water pipes cross roads, farms and factories

Nature Pure Pre-Filter that traps sediments has a hole size of 10 microns. This pre-filter is washable and extends the life of the main replaceable cartridge

The Nature Pure Structured Matrix Cartridge, has the smallest hole size of 0.1 micron with the largest being 0.4 microns absolute.

Rated at 1 gallon per minute flow rate ( so much faster than RO & Distillers) and 1,000 gallon lifespan, this cartridge consistently purifies up till the last drop.

So depending on your water usage for drinking, soaking your fruits and vegetables and cooking your rice and soup, this cartridge lasts 2 years on average for a family of 5.

Ask for a Clorox demo today and truly enjoy the best water, the best drinks and the best soups, you and your family will every drink everyday!
