AquaOx is a point of entry water purifying system, which means it purifies all of the water in your house. It filters out 99.9% of contaminants, toxins, and heavy metals, including but not limited to chlorine, lead, iron and Trihalomethanes (TTHMs). Using patented media, AquaOx reduces lime scale, mold and fungi in your tub and shower. It removes bacteria, chloramines, hydrogen sulfide and VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) and many pharmaceuticals. The result: clean, odorless, great tasting water.
Health Benefits
AquaOx will contribute to your overall health – inside and out – by filtering out many contaminants you ingest (drinking), absorb (showering, washing) and breathe (vapors from showering, running water, etc.). Many of these are either known or suspected causing-cancer agents. They can interfere with a variety of body processes. They can be toxic to many organs and tissues, including the heart, bones, intestines, kidneys, brain, liver and reproductive and nervous systems.
Drinking – The drinking of water containing contaminants allows these contaminants to enter the body. Many people already have concerns about their drinking water and its effect on their health. Carbon-based filters for refrigerator ice machines are magnets for bacteria if not changed regularly. An AquaOx whole-house filter eliminates need and concomitant risk of using ice machine filters. Brushing teeth is another opportunity to ingest contaminants from drinking water. Again, AquaOx reduces the risk.
From a Study Published in the American Journal of Public Health:
“…these proportions suggest that about 4200 cases (9%) of bladder cancer per year and 6500 cases (18%) of rectal cancer per year are associated with the consumption of chlorinated water.”
Showering/Washing – Showering and washing your hands exposes your skin to harmful contaminants. Among the chemicals absorbed are cancer-causing chlorine and its derivatives. What’s more, the longer you shower or wash, the more chlorine you absorb because warm water enlarges your skin’s pores, facilitating absorption. This means showering in chlorinated water is much more dangerous than drinking the same water. In fact, while showering, your body absorbs 6 times the contaminants it does when you drink 8 glasses of water.
Breathing – Showering and running water cause chlorine and other harmful synthetic chemicals to become gaseous, making them easily inhaled. Even the simple act of opening a dishwasher just after a completed washing cycle poses threats to your health. At this time, toxic volatized chlorine and cancer-causing Disinfectant Byproducts (DBPs) are released into the air. Once inhaled, these chemicals enter the blood stream directly—without the partial filtering effect of digestion. This can cause or aggravate asthma, and other respiratory problems.
From a Study Presented to the American Chemical Society:
“House holders can receive 6 to 100 times more of the chemical [chlorine] by breathing the air around showers and bath than they would by drinking the water”
Food Preparation – Washing fruit, vegetables, and meat as well as watering your home vegetable garden has the potential to spread contaminants to your food.
AquaOx provides the healthy antidote.
Environmental Benefits
Good-bye Water Bottles – People buy bottled water for taste and quality concerns, but often feel guilty about the environmental impact of manufacturing, and disposing of, plastic bottles. AquaOx eliminates the guilt by making the purchase of bottled water no longer necessary.
Less Detergent, More Fulfilling – The purified water created by AquaOx reduces the amount of detergent needed for washing clothes and dishes. This, in turn, reduces the amount of contaminants in wastewater. Something else you can feel good about.
Quality of Life Benefits
The AquaOx water purifying system will make a difference you will feel and appreciate forever. In fact, your life will never be the same again.
Drinking – Clean, odorless, great tasting water for drinking is a precious gift. You will find yourself taking AquaOx water with you wherever you go.
Skin – You will no longer have to put up with the drying effects of chlorine on your skin. AquaOx customers report significant improvement in the softness and smoothness of their skin after they installed the AquaOx.
Hair – You will no longer have to put up with the drying effects of chlorine on your hair. AquaOx customers report that their hair is softer and more manageable after they installed the AquaOx.
Plumbing and Appliance Benefits
Pipes – Contaminants in water build up inside pipes, constricting the water flow and causing corrosion from the inside.
Faucets – Contaminants in water clog internal screens and valves. This leads to maintenance, replacement and unnecessary expense.
Rubber Components – Rubber toilet components and O-rings in faucets are destroyed by chlorine. More unnecessary expense.
Sinks and Bath Tubs – Contaminants in water lead to staining and rings that can increase maintenance costs. This problem can even become permanent leading to premature replacement.
Household Appliances – Contaminants found in water contribute to the premature failure of household appliances such as coffee makers and dishwashers by clogging tubes with buildup and attacking rubber components.
Once again, AquaOx is the answer. There’s no better way to assure the performance and longevity of your plumbing system and fixtures.
