1. Unfortunately there is no NEW water. We  have the same amount of water on earth now as there was during the  dinosaur era. With increased population comes greater contamination, and  in order to disinfect this water suitable for human consumption,  greater amounts of chemicals are required.

   Our total food chain is becoming overloaded with chemicals and  hormones as countries attempt to meet consumption. Unfortunately it is  impossible to remove many of these chemicals from foods, however with  water, technology allows us to remove all chemical contaminants and  ensuring one of the most important nutrients is at least chemical free.  .. it makes good health sense.Return to Questions

2. Boiling water only kills bacteria. It does  not remove any chemicals and heavy metals from the water. In fact the  boiling process actually increases the chemical concentrations due to  water evaporation. Return to Questions

3. Chlorine in your water is there to protect  your water from harmful bacteria. You could compare it to purchasing  bread from your supermarket. Your bread is protected and kept fresh by  the plastic bag. Remove the bread and leave it out in the air and it  becomes moldy. You do not eat the plastic with your bread, why would you  consume the chlorine with your water. Chlorine is also a known  carcinogenic, (cancer causing). Return to Questions

4. On 2.3 ppm chlorinated water, <:0.05  mg/l copper and only 0.46 mg/l zinc were measured. The EPA aesthetic  levels are 1.0 mg/l for copper and 5.0 mg/l for zinc. Both zinc and  copper are essential minerals for good health - the FDA recommends a  daily intake of 15 mg of zinc and 2 mg of copper. Return to Questions

5. Glass Is Always Best - Bottle Your Own With PFL Treated Water! The best way to get pure, healthy drinking water is from a quality home water filter and treatment system like PFL's.

   The only way to keep water truly fresh and pure is to  store it in a glass container. All plastic bottles leach plastic  byproducts like BPA and phthalate into the water, affecting both taste  and purity. The longer water sits in a plastic container, the more  contaminated the water will become.

   Glass maintains the pure quality and taste of filtered water.  When you open your refrigerator door and see a crystal-clear, cold glass  bottle of water, you will naturally drink more. Treat yourself with  some fresh fruit flavored PFL water using lemon wedges, strawberries,  limes or oranges!

   Drinking more water is one of the very best health habits we  can learn. Every health related process that happens in our body,  happens with water. If our water tastes, smells and looks pure and  healthy, we will instinctively drink more and be healthier as a result.

   Glass is also better for the environment, as it can be  continuously reused and is 100% recyclable. Bottled water use results in  over 60 million plastic bottles being produced, filled, transported and  then disposed of every day in America alone!

   So do yourself and our planet a favor - Bottle Your Own, and GO GLASS! Return to Questions

6. Structured  Water - an arrangement of water molecules that creates predictable and  definable geometries (eg clusters and crystalline ices).

   Most  tap water is organized into micro-clusters of about 12 molecules each.   In Structured water, the micro-clusters are reduced in size to only six molecules per cluster.  This enhances the permeability, solubility, and  absorption of the water, thereby boosting its detoxification effects in  the body's cells.

   The  PFL Water Treatment System breaks water into smaller units which can  penetrate cells much  more efficiently than normal water. (Most tap  water and bottled water is made of large conglomerates - large groupings  of  unstructured water molecules which are too large to move  efficiently into the cells of the body. Before it can be  assimilated,  it must be broken into units small enough to penetrate the cells - a  time consuming and energy consuming  process). PFL Water is structured  water which penetrates the cells at a much faster rate for better  nutrient absorption and more efficient waste removal. Smaller water  units also have a  positive effect on the efficiency of the metabolic  processes.Return to Questions

7. Alkalinized  Water - raising the pH of water from a low acidic pH to a higher  alkaline pH.  Both tap water and bottled water have an acidic pH of  around 5.5 to 6.5 whereas, Alkalinized water would have an alkaline pH  of around 8.5.

   The  PFL Water Treatment System neutralizes this acid condition. Just by  supplying your daily drinking and cooking water from this alkaline water  purifier (high pH), you can restore a healthy alkaline environment in  your body. This process is detoxification; and there's a vast body of  research about the importance of maintaining a proper acid / alkaline  balance in your body fluids.

   Fortunes  are spent on anti-oxidant vitamins (such as Vitamin C and E), enzymes,  herbs and foods in order to prevent cancer. Yet a glass of Alkalinized  water has more anti-oxidant power than fresh orange juice! Anti-oxidants  are one of the chief keys to longevity: a longer life with less  degeneration of body tissues.

8. Ionized  Water - A water ionizer is an appliance that ionizes water. Ionized  water is extremely beneficial to human health and is an antioxidant  which can slow aging and prevent disease.

   Ionized  water is treated tap water that has not only been filtered, but has  also been reformed in that it provides reduced water with a large mass  of electrons that can be donated to active oxygen in the body to block  the oxidation of normal cells. Thus, the water is transformed into a  powerful anti-oxidant, to build and support the body's immune system.   This ionized water attaches to the free radicals, that break down the  body and cause disease, bonds to them for elimination as body waste  thereby, eliminating their harmful effects.

   Normal  tap water, for example, with a pH of 6.5 is approximately neutral on  the pH scale of 0 to 14. When measured with an ORP (oxidation potential)  meter its redox potential is approximately +400 to +500 mV. Because it  has a positive redox potential, it is apt to acquire electrons and  oxidize other molecules. Reduced Ionized Water, on the other hand, has a  negative redox potential of approximately -250 to -350 mV. This means  it has a large mass of electrons ready to donate to electron-thieving  active oxygen. It is important to note that the PFL Water Treatment  System produces an Ionized water with a redox potential of approximately  -500mV, which is an incredibly effective anti-oxidant.
