NSF/UL/WQA all follow these water guidelines - http://www.aquascience.net/water-standards.cfm So if your water falls within this range, you get certified.
Please visit www.NSF.org and you will see they are like SIRIM - testing anything from car parts to clothes washers. Like Sirim, they set minimum standards that the local government considers safe for consumers.
http://www.nsf.org/consumer/faucets/index.asp?program=Faucets is another site that refers back to the EPA guidelines on water safety - namely less than .025 percent lead content. EPA has minimum standards on water safety and NSF checks for the minimum standards.NSF tests minimum standards 0.25% lead content versus EPA micro-biological standards of 0.00001% lead content. As an informed consumer, which would you prefer?
http://engineers.ihs.com/news/epa-ul-ucmr2.htm - says EPA approves UL testing. When I read that, I can only conclude that EPA is the highest body, that can grade any air or water products. So any products that carry the EPA certification, in my mind are the highest grade.
http://www.ul.com/global/eng/pages/offerings/industries/waterandfood/water/waterlab/resources/ This link says water is tested for 24 and 48 hours only. But its common knowledge that for any certification tests, they only test the water for 1 or 2 days. But if your water system works in your house until you change your filter, would you want a test on the water, the day before you are supposed to change your filter?
There is a very big difference between a clinical study and a certification test.
With 2 clinical studies at University of Arizona and the Institute Pasture in France, together with the EPA certification that the Seagull IV is a "Micro-biological Purifier - able to remove 99.99999% of all contaminants in the water" - far exceeds the minimum standards.
The clinical study done at University of Arizona is the last drop test - meaning the last of the 4,000 litres that successfully passed through the faucet. The Seagull IV cartridge once full, will not allow any more water through, unlike all the rest of the systems, that allow you to continue using, long after the safe water period is over. Many tests will check the first 24 or 48 hours water only.
The clinical study done at the Institue Pasteur France was the incubation test - where billions of viruses and bacteria was put into the Seagull IV, left for 30 days, and then the purified water was tested. This is the most comprehensive test which EPA used, as a guideline to grade "Micro-Biological purifiers"
A copy of both these clinical studies will be uploaded to my blog shortly.
Only the Seagull IV can remove 99.99999% of all viruses, bacteria, heavy metals and chemicals in the water, up till the last drop.
I have happily used my unit for 20 years. At today's price of RM2,997, it works out to a capital cost of just RM 150 per year. Most people will spend RM3,000 on a tv or mobile phone, but to invest in the safest water for the whole family to drink, is expensive.
Remember, a good water purifier will enhance your health, and protect your kidneys, by not adding more chemicals and heavy metals into our already contaminated body.
Let the buyer beware. And now that you are a better informed consumer, you can certainly make the best choice for the health of your family and yourself.

3 step Structured Matrix Purification Technology
Technology is everything today. The Seagull IV uses a Structured Matrix Purification Technology to effectively and consistently remove harmful impurities in the water down to 0.1 microns. Anything smaller than 0.1 microns absolute like beneficial trace minerals and dissolved oxygen, that are important for the body, are left in the water.
Ultrafine Microstraining removes disease bacteria, pathogenic cycts like Giardia, Crytosporidia and other water-borne parasites.
Broad Spectrum Molecular Capture traps organic and other chemicals sucah as pesticides, herbicides, solvents, asbestos, chlorine, carcinogens and other trace contaminants, along with the foul taste, odour and colour.
Electrostatic Removal removes heavy metals like lead and mercury suspended in the water.
Only the Seagull IV water purifier with 2 clinical studies, can consistently REMOVE 99.99999% of all parasites, chemicals and heavy metals in the water, up till the last drop!.

Modified water or Natural spring water
Would you prefer genetically modified food or home/farm grown natural/organic food? Silly question right. But many people think modified water, is better than natural spring water.
So what is natural spring water anyway?.
Simply put - water that is sweet to taste and has the dissolved minerals and oxygen, but without any viruses, parasites, heavy metals or any other contaminants. That's the ultimate water you can ever ask for.
If you could get this natural spring water directly from your tap, would you take it?. Another silly question, but of course you certainly will.
So over the years, marketing has convinced you, that water that is distilled, RO, alkaline, energy, alpha, omega, etc is good for you. Remember though, that these types of water is modified and over years, will certainly damage your cells and organs.
Only an EPA certified microbiological purifier like the Seagull IV, can give you sweet natural spring water.
The Seagull IV water purifier has 2 clinical studies from the Univeristy of Arizona and the Institute Pasteur France, proving the Seagull IV water purifier can remove 99.99999% of all contaminants, up till the last drop.
So everytime you turn on the Seagull IV water purifier, you get natural spring water that is sweet to the taste and safe till the last drop.
Made by General Ecology in USA, this Seagull IV water purifier carries a 10 year guarantee. Now that's the best investment you can make for your home and family!

One glass wont kill you
Your water may look crystal clear and probably won't make you sick. Well not yet anyway!. But what if you continue to drink it over 10, 20 and 30 years?
Each family member will drink 8 glasses of water, 7 days a week, 365 days a year over several decades. If your water has traces of heavy metals, arsenic, asbestos, fertiliser nitrates, antibiotic residues, lead, mecury, parasites and viruses, do you think your body can cope?
Where do these contaminants come from?. Well our water pipes run under factories, roads and animal and vegetable farms and if your water sometimes looks muddy, there is a leak and these dangerous contaminants enter your water supply pipes.
A Point of Entry water system will take care of the heavy sediments but are not effective against the disolved contaminants in the water you use for cooking, drinking and washing your face, vegetables and rice.
Don't take any chances, especially when the best investment you can make for a healthy water supply costs less than a ringgit a day, for the whole family to enjoy.
The Seagull IV Point of Use water purifier system costs RM3,497 and comes with a 10 year guarantee. Your annual cost is just RM350 or just RM 0.96 daily.
Other systems may cost less up front but only come with a 1 year guarantee, and costs RM500 to change filters every year. The Seagull IV pre-filter and cartridge lasts 4,000 litres or 2 years for a household of 5, cooking 2 main meals daily.
Seagull IV is the only water purifier with 2 clinical studies, approved by the EPA as a micro-biological purifier, able to REMOVE 99.99999% contaminants consistently up till the last drop!.

See the 5 minute Clorox demonstration
Most filters claim to be able to filter out chlorine in the water. But have you seen the Seagull IV purifier actually filter out Clorox - the grandfather of chlorine?
Well my demonstration only takes 5 minutes and I will drink the clorox water after purifying with the Seagull IV. See it to believe it.
I would love to see other brands out there and have them try out the clorox challenge.
Only the Seagull IV has been clinically proven at the Institute Pasteur, France and University of Arizona, to REMOVE 99.99999% of all heavy metals, chemicals and viruses consistently, till the last drop. Meaning, if water still flows out of your purifier, it is safe to drink.

The Truth behind water certification tests
The truth behind water certification tests (for point of use water systems)
Ever wonder how some brands of water filters, have so many certifications – from Malaysia, Taiwan, Hongkong, Japan, IBW, etc?
All tests are conducted using brand new filters, to test if they can reduce or remove the contaminants. Of course all brand new filters work – but what about when you have used them till near their replacement date? Are they still safe?
Most water systems use a time based gauge – meaning you have to replace your filters at 6 or 12 month intervals. But…does not take into account your water quality (some houses have a point of entry filter, so their water quality is much better), the family size or how much water you actually pass through the filter.
Nature Pure has 2 clinical tests done:-
a) on a 70 day incubation – meaning viruses and cysts are pumped in first, then left unused for 70 days and water pumped in again to test if any can pass through.
b) on a last drop test – meaning the flow rate reduces from 4 litres a minute down to a last drop when no more water can come out, usually after purifying 4,000 litres.
Because the Nature Pure Purifier can REMOVE 99.99999% of all contaminants till the last drop, the Environmental Protection Agency EPA has given a rating as Micro-Biological Purifier passing the 99.75% test.
The Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) approves Nature Pure Purifier to be the only water system on board all Commercial aircraft.
So on your next flight, enjoy the purified water served on board every airline. And if it’s good enough to serve 400 passengers on long haul with 8 toilets, it's good enough to be serving you and your family for the next 10 years!.
