THE TRUTH
ABOUT OUR DRINKING WATER
Bottled water has become a multi-billion dollar business. It is
now the fastest growing segment of the entire beverage industry
and the most profitable of all beverages. Millions and millions
of dollars are spent each week on advertising campaigns to give
consumers the perception that bottled water comes from some pristine
mountain spring or magical underground aquifer.
The truth is that bottled water is often little more than tap
water in a bottle.
The Federal regulations that govern bottled water only
apply if it is transported across state lines, and then only require
it to be "as good as" tap water. Most bottled water is bottled
and sold within the same state to avoid regulations. There are
no assurances or requirements that bottled water is of any higher
quality than tap water.
In March of 1999 the Natural Resources Defense Council
(NRDC) released a report called "Bottled Water: Pure Drink or
Pure Hype?" NRDC's report points out that as much as 40% of all
bottled water comes from a city water system just like tap water.
The report also focuses on the fact that 60 to 70% of all bottled
water is exempt from FDA's bottled water standards because it
is bottled and sold within the same state. Unless the water is
transported across state lines, there are no Federal regulations
that govern its quality. According to the NRDC:"bottled water
companies have used this loophole to avoid complying with basic
health standards such as those that apply to municipally treated
tap water." Also, all carbonated or sparkling waters are completely
exempt from FDA guidelines that set specific contamination limits.
According to the NRDC study: "even when bottled waters
are covered by FDA's specific bottled water standards those rules
are weaker in many ways than EPA rules that apply to big city
tap water." For instance, if we compare EPA regulations for tap
water to FDA's bottled water rules:
* City tap water can have no confirmed E.coli or fecal
coliform bacteria. FDA bottled water rules include no such prohibition
(a certain amount of any type of coliform bacteria is allowed
in bottled water).
* City tap water from surface water must be filtered
and disinfected. In contrast there are no federal filtration or
disinfectant requirements for bottled water.
* Most cities using surface water have had to test for
Cryptosporidium or Giardia two common water pathogens that can
cause diarrhea and other intestinal problems yet bottled water
companies do not have to do this.
* City tap water must meet standards for certain important
toxic or cancer-causing chemicals such as phthalate (a chemical
that can leach from plastic including plastic bottles); some in
the industry persuaded FDA to exempt bottled water from the regulations
regarding these chemicals.
* City water systems must issue annual "right to know"
reports telling consumers what is in their water. Bottlers successfully
killed a "right to know" requirement for bottled water.
The Natural Resources Defense Council report concluded:
"While much tap water is indeed risky having compared available
data we conclude that there is no assurance that bottled water
is any safer than tap water."
The reality of bottled water is that people pay from
$1 to $4 a gallon for the perception of higher quality when in
fact the quality of bottled water is at best "unknown"!
A humorous, but insightful quote, from a national radio
personality:
"Throughout the years man has come up with many ways to measure
things. Noah used cubits to measure the Arc. We use carats to
measure gemstones. We use lbs. to measure our weight. We use inches,
feet and yards to measure distance. And to measure the intelligence
of consumers... they put water in plastic bottles... to see who
would buy it."
Point-of-Use water treatment with a quality in home water
filtration system is by far the most economical the most convenient
and the most effective way of producing healthy, great tasting
water. Filtering out the chlorine lead and other contaminants
with a quality home water filtration system at the point of use
just prior to consumption is the only way to know for sure about
the quality of your water.

AQUASANA PRODUCTS
"With over 15 years
in the industry 17 patents and over 9 million products sold
we are very confident that Aquasana represents the absolute
best value anywhere."
- Charles Strand, President
Aquasana is Latin for "water to heal" and our products
were designed with this concept in mind. Years of research and
development forged the results that Aquasana Products represent.
Sun Water Systems has designed and produced quality
water filtration products, under private label, for over 50
U.S. & International companies and is considered an industry
leader in ultra-filtration products. Unlike
most other water filtration products, Aquasana products were
not designed to meet minimum government or industry standards
that allow "Trace Levels" of toxic chemicals in tap water and
bottled water. We believe (and science has proven) that there
are no safe levels for toxic synthetic chemicals in our water.
While it is permitted and accepted that bottled
water and tap water commonly contain traces of many unhealthy
contaminants Aquasana was designed to produce naturally healthy,
great tasting water.
We believe that the healthiest water is water as it
existed before the influences of modern man water free from
chemical contaminants and balanced with traces of the Earth's
natural minerals. Aquasana systems filter out chlorine, lead,
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and cysts while leaving in
the natural trace minerals. It's like having natural spring
water on tap in your home for only 9¢ a gallon!
Aquasana provides water
that is higher in quality than any bottled water for only 9
cents per gallon.
Aquasana is also good for the environment. As a logical
alternative to bottled water a single Aquasana Drinking Water
Enhancement System can prevent thousands of plastic containers
from winding up in landfills and further polluting our environment.
A quality home water treatment appliance is the best investment
we can make in the health of our family.

- AQUASANA SHOWER FILTER SYSTEM |

The Aquasana Shower Filter has two separate filter stages.
One that takes out chlorine and balances the pH, the other filters
out harmful VOCs and THMs that vaporize while showering and are
unhealthful to inhale. Installs in seconds and provides healthy,
filtered water for showering. The healthiest most refreshing shower
you'll ever take! Offers tremendous benefits to people with skin
conditions and breathing disorders. The benefits are immediately
noticeable and long lasting.
“It’s
like showering in natural Spring Water”
The result is the healthiest, most refreshing shower
experience you'll ever have... for only 21¢ a day!
Comes complete with a two stage filter cartridge that
lasts six months (replacement cost is only $42.00 semi-annually)
and the deluxe “Niagara” adjustable pressure shower
head, handheld shower wand available. Stage 1
removes chlorine and enhances pH balance with a natural copper/
zinc mineral media called KDF-55D. The second filtration stage
uses a carbonized coconut shell media for the removal of synthetic
chemicals and volatile organic chemicals (VOC) that vaporize and
can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin, potentially causing
adverse health and cosmetic effects.
Anyone who has ever swum in a chlorinated pool knows
how chlorine robs moisture from skin and hair. What most do not
realize is that typically there is as much, or more chlorine in
your tap water as there is in most swimming pools. Chlorine
strips the natural protective oils from skin and hair, causing
excess dryness. Without the harsh influences of chlorine you'll
notice significant cosmetic benefits... softer skin & hair
in a week! Also by removing chlorine and other
chemicals found in tap water, you eliminate health risks related
to inhalation and skin absorption of these chemicals, now known
to be a significant source of exposure to harmful VOCs.
Your shower water will feel better, and be better for
you.
