More Antioxidants than Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice Our Genesis Steel Water Ionizer produces an incredible 1500 parts per billion of dissolved hydrogen per eight-ounce glass of water. Most water ionizers don’t even come close to that level of performance. Dissolved hydrogen is the antioxidant in ionized water and has many health benefits. Here are a few of them: Dissolved Hydrogen Reduces Inflammation Besides being an antioxidant, dissolved hydrogen has anti-inflammatory

Bottled Ionized Water is Expensive and Unhealthy Bottled ionized waters have a hefty price markup.
The US is Full of Hard Water Did you know that approximately 85% of the US has hard drinking water? This means it has a high concentration of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. There’s a scale that measures the hardness and softness of water. The amount of dissolved minerals is measured by grains per gallon. It is considered soft water if your water has less than one grain per
The Safe Water Drinking Act Your municipal water treatment facility is bound by the Safe Water Drinking Act (SWDA), a US federal law enacted in 1974 to protect public health by regulating the nation’s public drinking water supply. The SDWA sets national standards for contaminants in public water supplies, including naturally occurring and man-made pollutants such as lead, arsenic, and pesticides.

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) sets national standards for drinking water quality and establishes maximum
A major group of industrial water contaminants are known as PCBs. PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, are a group of chemicals that were widely used in industrial and commercial applications until they were banned in the 1970s due to concerns about their toxic effects on human health and the environment. That was back when the EPA still had some teeth! PCBs were popular because they were slick, durable, and heat
Human Pollution Makes Water Unhealthy Do you remember the opening for the Andy Griffith Show? We know, that’s going back a few decades. For those of you who don’t remember or are asking, “Who’s Andy Griffith?” here’s how the opening went. Andy and his son happily stroll along a trail, both carrying their fishing gear, while a happy whistling song plays. It ends with them going fishing. Yep, that’s it.
