Water 101

Is water fundamental to life?


Our body is 75% water and our brain tissue is 85% water. Hydration is critical to the proper functioning of our bodies. Symptoms of dehydration include:

•Dry mouth
•Hunger
•Difficulty concentrating
•Headaches
•Mental confusion
It is imperative to our health that we not only drink water, but that we drink water that is clean, pure, and contains the good minerals that nature intended.

How safe is our tap water?

It's impossible to predict which contaminants may be in a particular area's water pipes-or in the water purchased from a commercial bottler but some statistics are illuminating:

•In surface water testing, 80% of streams and creeks were found to contain synthetic hormones, detergents, insecticides or other chemicals. These sources form part of the nation's water supply (USGS stream survey)

•Approximately 500,000 cases of illness in the U.S. per year are caused by drinking water contaminated with sewage (National Resources Defense Council)
What about bottled water?

Over 100,000,000,000 dollars is spent annually on bottled water largely because of public perception of the dangers found in our tap water. However bottled water sold in the US is not necessarily cleaner or safer than most tap water. In fact many bottled water manufacturers use ozone (a toxic gas) for disinfecting their product. FDA rules allow bottlers to call their product "spring water" even though it may be brought to the surface using a pumped well, and treated with chemicals. A key NRDC finding is that bottled water regulations are inadequate to assure consumers of either purity or safety. And what about the plastic water is stored in? Not only is it toxic to our environment, it can also be toxic to our bodies.

What if we could recreate water as nature intended...simply from pulling water from your tap?

DRINK FROM THE WATER OF LIFE



Are all filtration systems created equal?

There are many choices when it comes to water filtration. A faucet mounted system, usually the least expensive, may also be the least effective. Reverse Osmosis, which is popular, removes the toxins from the water, but leaves the water dead, with no nutrients. When it comes to water filtration, the Nikken Pi Mag water system is different.

What is the difference?

Pi Mag technology. Near a small town in Japan is an area with unusual topographical features. The surrounding hills contain magnetite and calcium. A small stream flows over silicates, the material that forms natural crystal. Scientists discovered that the water in this stream, had amazing results on the surrounding plants. They named this substance pi water. Then they set out to duplicate these conditions in the laboratory.

The Nikken Pi Mag Water Filtration System includes: A multiple filtration system with an exceptional level of performance to reduce contaminants the same way nature does- without adding chlorine or other chemical to the water. Next they added ceramics and valuable sea coral harvested from the ocean floor. These supplied the minerals that are present in the region where pi water was first identified. Finally, magnetic technology completes the process. A magnetic field assists in reducing mineral build up. This helps condition water without adding salt or other chemicals. It is an intelligent alternative to complicated and expensive water-softening devices.

The Result
•Cleaner water, better taste

•Natural filtration, no added chemicals

•More practical than expensive bottled water

•Unique pimag discover, only from Nikken
