I bought this Bluevua's ROPOT Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis (RO) System to be able to offer to our water customers a world class countertop RO system that produces excellent drinking water for years to come. We evaluate new systems, and if they pass our rigorous testing then we recommend them to our customers. This countertop RO system is perfect for people who want clean drinking water without having to do any special plumbing under their kitchen sink. It’s the perfect size and it looks nice on your counter. It will generate a lot of interest from your friends and family that see it, and you can take pride knowing you are helping the environment by not having to constantly buy bottled water.

I am absolutely thrilled to own Bluevua's ROPOT Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis (RO) System.  This system is absolutely streamlined and elegantly designed. The dark blue color adds to the system’s elegance. It has curved, smoothed, and beveled edges which make it look like an expensive countertop RO system. System comes with a 1.2-liter borosilicate glass carafe and a glass infuser for making fruit infused water. Included are six different recipes for making fruit-infused water, and the system setup instructions are written well and easy to follow. This system is slightly smaller from Bluevua’s regular ROPOT system but is it still large enough to make enough RO water for an entire family of 2-3 people.  You simply plug it in, flush the six-stage single filter, and start making clean RO water for the entire family with no plumbing needed!

This countertop RO system has a single filter which has all six stages needed for producing high quality RO water.  The great thing about a single filter is that changing it is a breeze as opposed to the inconvenience of having to change six different filters on a tank RO system.  The first stage is 5-Micron Polypropylene Fabric to remove large particles like silt, sand, rust, and dirt.  The second stage is Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Filter to absorb chlorine and chloramine.  The third stage is a Food Grade RO Antiscalant to eliminate mineral scale to prevent the scaling and fouling of the RO filter membrane.  The fourth stage is a 1-Micron Polypropylene Fabric to remove smaller particles to further protect and extend the lifetime of the RO membrane.  The fifth stage is the Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter to remove lead, arsenic, bacteria, virus, fluoride, pesticides, and 1000+ other harmful contaminants.  The sixth stage is a Post Carbon Filter to condition and further improve the taste of the water.

The ROPOT Lite RO system has a real-time filtered water quality indicator (e.g. real-time Total Dissolved Solids measurement).  There is a button on the LED interface to pick the volume of water to produce – 1.2L or 0.65L with a water volume indicator.  ROPOT Lite RO system has a filter life indicator, so you know when to change the ROPOT Lite water filter, and there is a manual flush button so you can flush the system when a new filter replacement is installed.

The first time you use the countertop system you need to clean the glass carafe and the water tank with hot water. To clean out the protective liquid in the four filters you need to fill the RO tank to the max level and run the water through the machine 4-6 times. After each time throw the water away in the carafe and repeat the process. During the first two rounds, the raw water in the tank will automatically be filled into the filters, therefore there may be no water coming out in this phase. For the first 3-5 rounds, it is normal that the pure RO water may turn black.

Using this countertop RO system will produce you drinking water with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measurement between 5-15 parts per million (ppm) depending on your water source. This TDS level is the same as excellent quality drinking water you would pay for in the store that is created in a similar way through an industrial reverse osmosis process. Save your money, stop buying bottled water, and protect the environment by investing in the Bluevua ROPOT Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis System.

Unboxing Bluevua Six Stage Reverse Osmosis System (100 GPD at 0.26L/Min Flow)

< Back To All Blogs

4/29/2022

I bought this Bluevua Six Stage Reverse Osmosis System (100 GPD at 0.26L/Min Flow) to keep a constant flow of reverse osmosis (RO) re-mineralized water flowing into my John Ellis Living Water Machine (LWM-5) Distiller. This RO system does NOT have an auto shut off valve like other tankless reverse osmosis systems. The two hour auto shut off valve is inconvenient on other tankless RO systems because you have to turn it back on every two hours to keep a constant flow of water running into the John Ellis Living Water Machine. You can’t beat the price point for this RO system when you consider filtration performance for contaminant removal, mineral removal and a constant flow rate for the John Ellis Water Machine. When the reverse osmosis water storage tank is full, it also puts a good flow rate through my Kangen K8 Water Ionizer as well.

The system is packaged very well and protected during shipping.  You will notice the package care in the video below.  It was easy to get each item out of the box without having to turn the box upside down. The packaging engineer is did a fantastic job because I did not even have to turn it upside down to get the reverse osmosis system (RO) out.

Let’s first talk about the filters that come with this system.  The Coconut Carbon Block Filter (CTO) removes all the additional chlorine and organic matters from the water without releasing carbon ashes.  It must be replaced yearly.  The Granular Activated Carbon Filter (GAC) absorbs heavy chlorine, and chlorine by-products such as chloramine, THM and TCE.  It must be replaced yearly.  The Polypropylene Sediment Filter (PP) removes dirt, corrosion, sediment, red worms, sand, and other physical particles.  This is also used to protect the back filters.  The Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter (RO) removes heavy metals, bacteria, virus, and other harmful substances. It must be replaced every two years.  The Mineral Ball filter consistently releases easily absorbed minerals, all essential to the human body, into the drinking water.  It puts calcium, magnesium, selenium, strontium, potassium, and healthy salts with other trace minerals back in the RO water.  The Mineral Ball filter must be replaced yearly.  The quality of the filters is world-class, and replacement filters are budget friendly.  When replacing the filters I love the pull forward, drop and go feature that allows any customers to change each of the filters in seconds.

Using this RO system personally has reduced the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of my water from 350-400 parts per million (PPM) in the tap water down to 10-20 PPM.  This is incredible performance, and I know my health is being protected when I can validate the performance myself with a basic TDS meter.  I have a water production business at home, and the quality of the water I sell has also improved. My customers are always asking me what kind of setup I have because they love the taste of the water we produce so much.  Well, this is part of our prefiltration setup, and now you know.

Unboxing Multipure Aquaperform + Single Hose Diverter Kit for Tap Water Filtering

< Back To All Blogs

4/25/2022

Water filtration isn’t simply a matter of “clean” versus “dirty” water. Different contaminants have different effects. For example, chlorine in water treats bacteria and viruses, but makes the water taste like chlorine – not to mention the potential for chlorine to create harmful disinfection byproducts in the water. Water contaminants also tend to vary by region, depending on the land and any surrounding industries. Because of this, drinking water filtration is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. 
 
Arsenic is one of those contaminants that’s not found in every region, but can be very dangerous when it is present, and very harmful when ingested. It’s naturally occurring in the ground, and it’s also used in industrial processes. But, because it’s not present in every water supply, not many countertop or under counter water filtration systems can treat arsenic in drinking water. That’s rather unfortunate, since arsenic is practically synonymous with “poisonous.” Even if it’s not immediately deadly, arsenic can still cause irritation and damage to your skin, throat, lungs, and stomach. Arsenic can even cause lung, bladder, or skin cancer.

The Multipure Aquaperform Drinking Water System uses a compact, powerful, and efficient filter that can treat a broad range of harmful contaminants, not just ones that affect the taste and smell of the water like other typical household filters. Multipure filters are much more powerful than filtered water pitchers, provide much cleaner water than bottled water (which in many cases is simply tap water), and work in real-time at the filtered water spout right on the stainless steel housing. Multipure recognized the limitations of Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) and developed a signature solid carbon block filter by building upon the advantages of GAC to make it far more powerful and effective. By combining the right mixture of activated carbon and other filter materials, then pressing them into a densely compacted block, Multipure created a filter that allowed water to pass through but forced the water to stay in contact with enough filter surface area to vastly improve the filtration performance. Multipure has over five decades of carbon block development that have made the Aquaperform the powerhouse countertop and under the counter filtration system it is.

The Aquaperform can filter contaminants that can affect the taste, the odor, and the healthfulness of your drinking water, and the additional Arsenic V filtration puts it above and beyond the competition, protecting your home and your family’s drinking water. The Aquaperform’s performance is third-party, independently tested and certified by National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) International for the treatment of contaminants of Aesthetic Concern (Std. 42) such as chlorine, chloramine, and particulates; contaminants of Health Concern (Std. 53) such as lead, disinfection byproducts, PFOA/PFOS (aka, “forever chemicals”), and Arsenic V; and emerging compounds and incidental contaminants (Std. 401) such as artificial hormones, pest repellants, and heart medications.

  • NSF/ANSI 42 Standard refers to filters that are certified to reduce aesthetic impurities such as chlorine and taste/odor/appearance (e.g. chlorine, chloramine, particulate matter, etc). These can be point-of-use (under the sink, water pitcher, etc.) or point-of-entry (whole house) treatment systems.

  • NSF/ANSI 53 Standard refers to filters are certified to reduce a contaminant with a health effect when ingested (e.g. asbestos, lead, arsenic, PFOAs, microcystin, etc). Health effects are set in this standard as regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Health Canada. Both standards 42 and 53 cover adsorption/filtration which is a process that occurs when liquid, gas or dissolved/suspended matter adheres to the surface of, or in the pores of, an adsorbent media. Carbon filters are an example of this type of product.

  • NSF/ANSI 401 Standard refers to filters that are certified for emerging contaminants removal and include both point-of-use and point-of-entry systems that have been verified to reduce one or more of 15 emerging contaminants from drinking water (e.g. prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, DEET, etc). These emerging contaminants can be pharmaceuticals or chemicals not yet regulated by the EPA or Health Canada whose long-term health effects are not yet fully determined.

  • NSF Protocol P231 refers to filters that are certified for the purification of microbiological contaminants (e.g. bacteria, viruses, live cysts, etc). These filters are certified for health and sanitation based on the recommendations of the EPA’s Task Force Report, Guide Standard and Protocol for Testing Microbiological Water Purifiers (1987) (Annex B).

  • Important Note: Other company water filters that are NSF certified can get the certification for filtering only for a subset of contaminants covered by the NSF certification. Many times, these filters companies aren’t even listed in the official NSF Water Filter Database. Multipure is different because they filter for EVERY SINGLE CONTAMINANT covered by the NSF certification.

Benefits of the Multipure Aquaperform Drinking Water System:

  • The Aquaperform uses Multipure's specially enhanced carbon block filter to reduce levels of deadly Arsenic V, a toxic chemical that can naturally contaminate groundwater and pose serious health risks.

  • No one likes to taste chlorine in their water, just like no one likes the taste of pool water. If you're tired of tasting chlorine and other contaminants in your drinking water, you'll love the improved taste of Aquaperform filtered water. Remember, it’s not just great for drinking water, but also gives you better-tasting coffee, tea, juice mixes, or anything else that can benefit from filtered water.

  • Food cooked with contaminated water may be unsafe to eat. Cooking with Aquaperform-filtered water means cleaner, safer water for pasta, soup, sauces, or other foods.

  • Our beloved family pets deserve cleaner, healthier water. Fill your pets’ water dishes with filtered water from Multipure's Aquaperform.

  • Don’t overpay for clean drinking water, and don’t contribute to plastic bottle waste. An Aquaperform is better for your budget and better for the environment.

  • We want you to feel as confident in your countertop or under counter water filter system system as we are. The Aquaperform is backed by our unparalleled customer satisfaction guarantee and warranty.

Features of the Multipure Aquaperform Drinking Water System:

  • The majority of water filters are only to filter contaminants down to 1 micron. The Aquaperform is able to filter contaminants down to 0.5 microns, and this guarantees greater than 99.9% contaminant removal (see filtration performance data at bottom).

  • The Aquaperform has a one gallon per minute flow rate for produced clean filtered water. The stainless steel vessel is built in such a way to ensure the tap water flows in at a rate where the tap water has enough contact time with the filter media to perform sub-micron filtration contaminant removal.

  • System does NOT remove the original minerals in your tap water or reduce the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of your tap water so you can consume all those healthy minerals in your water to keep your body strong.

  • Multipure Aquaperform filter is rated for 600 gallons of filtered water but has been tested up to 1200 gallons without loss of filtration integrity and performance, and replacement filters are under $200.

  • You can install the Aquaperform below your sink for under counter water filtration or attach it to your sink faucet as a countertop water filter, giving you enjoy cleaner, healthier, better-tasting water on demand.

  • Stainless steel filter housing and interior stainless steel pressure vessel both come with a lifetime warranty.

  • If you are not completely satisfied with your Multipure Drinking Water System, Multipure will refund 100% of the purchase price less shipping up to 90 days from the date of purchase.

John Ellis water use instructions

John Ellis Water is purified and filtered 5 times through a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system before being distilled/hydrogen bond angle modified in the John Ellis LWM-5 machine. We store the purified energized life water in Enviro – Bottles / Glass Jugs which are BPA-free.

How do I use this water:

JohnEllis.com website suggests using a few drops of water per 16 oz water bottle – up to 1 ounce per gallon – of known good drinking water. By mixing the John Ellis Water into your tap or purified water, you are transforming the properties of your water to be more like John Ellis Water.  You can also drink it straight.  When I have done this I have noticed a slight sweet taste to the water. Here are some other ways to mix the water:

  • Mix 1 ounce into 1 gallon of current drinking water (spring, tap, distilled, alkaline, etc).

  • Use 30 drops (2 full droppers) and mix into an 8 ounce glass of water, coffee, tea, juice, etc.

  • Use 60 drops (4 full droppers) and mix into a 16 ounce glass of water, coffee, tea, juice, etc.

The 30 drops into 8 ounces and 60 drops into 16 ounces are the same ratio as 1 ounce to 1 gallon. Also, remember to save any 1oz bottles you have since they are easy to refill and travel with. Here are some additional uses for the John Ellis Water:

  • 5 - 10 drops under the tongue often provides and energy boost.

  • May be used as eye drops.

  • May be used topically on cuts, scrapes, sores, and rashes.

  • Soak stiff or sore joints in John Ellis Water.

  • Pure John Ellis Water may be used in a nebulizer.

You can also use this water for making Teavana Tea, pasta, lentils, and washing fruits and vegetables.  You can use it to make detergent for the washing machine since its great at removing odors.  You can use it with many home remedies from pinterest.com. See below for other ways we have used the John Ellis Water.

How is John Ellis Water different from my tap water:

  • John Ellis Water is free from pathogens, chemicals, and disease markers; your tap water is likely not this pure.

  • John Ellis Water has a bond angle of 114 degrees; your tap water has a bond angle of 104 degrees.

  • John Ellis Water’s weakened bond angle allows your body to break down the bond with ease and absorb the pure, clean oxygen found in the water; your tap water cannot have this same effect.

How to store your John Ellis Water:

  • Be sure to cover or seal the container to keep dust, dirt, and debris out of the water.

  • If you ordered a three or five gallon container you can separate the water into smaller amounts (e.g. one or half gallon jugs) to make it easier to pour and handle. You can also store the water in a glass jug or food grade BPA-Free containers.

  • You can store the water in the refrigerator or in a dry cool environment.

  • Please refrain from putting the water in a microwave, and do not store in a humid environment.

How to make organic chemical free household cleaner and soap scum remover:

To make a chemical free household clean and soap scum remover - 1/2 cup John Ellis pure distilled energized water, 2 cups purified water, 1 cup of vinegar, and 10-15 drops of lemon oil.  Put this mixture in a spray bottle and shake it.  Spray this mixture on the soap scum in you shower, scrub it lightly with the back of sponge, wait 5 minutes, and then wipe it off.  I have never found anything better for cleaning and removing soap scum, and I don't even have to wear a mask because it contains no harsh chemicals.

How to make homemade organic detergent:

To make organic laundry detergent - 1 cup of washing soda, 1/2 cup of borax, 1/2 cup of organic liquid soap, 1 cup of John Ellis pure distilled energized water, and 3 gallons of purified water.  Put this mixture in and old laundry detergent bottle from the store and shake it to mix it.  Use 1 cup per load of laundry.  This mixture is enough for about 52 loads of laundry.  Your clothes will come out smelling great and extremely clean. 

Ultra Re-hydration:

To make an ultra-hydration and ultra-oxygenation mixture for your body - Slice up one organic lemon, 1 gallon of purified water, 40 drops of John Ellis pure distilled energized water, and 20 drops of organic lemon juice.  Put the slices of lemon, purified water, John Ellis purified water drops, and lemon juice in a pouring jug that can hold the mixture and stir it.  Drink 16 oz of this first thing in the morning before you go to work in the morning, and bring 32 oz to work with you and drink it throughout the day.  This will help with hydration because lemon water in the morning kick-starts your metabolism, digestive system, and helps your kidneys flush toxins from the body.

How to make homemade organic toothpaste (fluoride-free):

To make organic toothpaste - 1/2 cup of organic coconut oil, 3 tablespoons of baking soda, 2 small packets of stevia powder or 5 drops of liquid stevia drops, 15-20 drops of peppermint or cinnamon essential oil, 10 drops of John Ellis pure distilled energized water, 10 drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract (optional), and 10 drops of myrrh extract (optional).  Melt or soften the coconut oil and mix in all the ingredients and stir.  Put the mixture into a glass jar and let it cool completely.  Dip the toothbrush into the jar and scrape a small amount onto the bristles, or you could use a spoon to scrape it and then put it on the toothbrush.

How to make homemade organic bug repellent:

To make the base for essential oils - 2 tablespoons of organic witch hazel, 2 tablespoons of organic jojoba oil, 2 tablespoons of organic olive oil, 2.5 cups of purified water, and 40 drops of John Ellis pure distilled energized water.  To make the organic essential oil blend - 30 drops of organic lemon or eucalyptus, 10 drops of organic cedarwood, 10 drops of organic lavender, 10 drops of rosemary.  Mix all these ingredients in a spray bottle, shake it for 30 seconds, and spray on your skin.    Other good bug repellent essential oils are citronella, eucalyptus, tea tree, peppermint, cypress, rose geranium, bergamot, lemon, and cinnamon.

How to make John Ellis organic fruit infused water:

To make fruit infused water choose a combination of your favorite organic fruit (see list below). Cut up the organic fruit and add it in a glass pitcher or a mason jar. It is good to leave the rind on the fruit (e.g. lemon, lime, grapefruit, oranges, etc) since the rind actually brings out more of the fruit’s natural flavors. The skin or peel of fruits and vegetables are generally higher in antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals than the fruit flesh. Now imagine being able to get some of that goodness in your fruit infused water! Next add a mixture of 25% John Ellis Water, and 75% purified water, alkaline water, or reverse osmosis water. Leave a little room for some ice if you like but this is optional. Put the glass pitcher or mason jar in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours to allow for the fruity goodness to infuse with the water. Fruit infused water is good for up to 24 hours if stored in the refrigerator. If you used citrus with the rind on, make sure to remove those after 6 hours or the water will turn bitter.

Drinking fruit infused water help with hydration, detoxing the body, improves digestion, boosts energy, improves mood, helps clear complexion, alkalizes the body, and boosts immune function.

Here are some great different combinations to try in John Ellis Water:

  • Apple Cinnamon Sticks

  • Blackberry Orange

  • Blackberry Pomegranate

  • Blackberry Rosemary / Sage

  • Blood Oranges, Lemons & Limes

  • Cantaloupe, Mint & Lemon

  • Cucumber Lemon

  • Cucumber Lemon Mint

  • Kiwi Strawberry Basil

  • Lavender Lemon

  • Lemon Ginger

  • Lemon Grapefruit Watermelon

  • Lemon Cayenne Pepper

  • Lime + Mint

  • Peaches & Basil

  • Pineapple Coconut Water

  • Pineapple Jalapeno

  • Rosemary Grapefruit

  • Strawberry Lemon Mint / Basil

  • Strawberry + Orange/ Lemon + Lemon Balm

  • Watermelon Basil

Unboxing Bluevua X6-500GPD Five Stage Tankless Reverse Osmosis System

< Back To All Blogs

4/20/2022

I bought this Bluevua X6-500GPD Five Stage Tankless Reverse Osmosis System to be able to offer to our water customers a world class RO system that produces excellent drinking water for years, so you don’t have to continue to buy bottled drinking water. We evaluate new systems, and if they pass our rigorous testing then we recommend them to our customers. This system is a high-capacity flow system can fill a cup of water in only ten seconds.

This system is elegantly designed, and hookup is absolutely streamlined. The inlet water line (white), drain line (black), and clean water line (blue) all plug into the side of the RO system, so they stay untangled when the system is completely hooked up. All parts are included for a seamless hookup in under thirty minutes. The only prerequisite for any RO system is you must have an electrical outlet under the sink to plug the RO system into. Most of the time you will have this because your garbage disposal and dishwasher need an electrical outlet too.

The system is packaged very well and protected during shipping.  All accessory parts are easily identified, and the instructions are clearly written and easy to follow so system setup can be done with ease with minimal plumbing experience.

Let us first talk about the filters that come with this system.  The Polypropylene Activated Carbon Filter (PCP) removes dirt, corrosion, sediment, chlorine, red worms, sand, organic matters, and other physical particles.  This is also used to protect the back filters, and it must be replaced yearly. The Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter (RO) removes bacterial, virus, antibiotics and other harmful substances, heavy metals, and pesticide residues from water. It must be replaced every two years. The Carbon Filter (CF) improves the taste of the water by filtering additional chlorine, peculiar smells, and odors, and it must be replaced yearly.   The quality of these filters is world-class, and replacement filters are budget friendly.  When replacing the filters you slide the cover off the side of the RO system, pull the filter forward, turn the filter, pull the older one out, and then put it the new one and turn it into place (10 seconds to replace).

This tankless RO system comes with a water leakage protector that plugs into the back of the system. It will make a sound and alert you if there is a water leak or humidity detected in or around the area of the RO system and automatically shut off the system. There is a smart LED display with a filter life monitor and built-in real-time total dissolved solids (TDS) monitoring to track filter quality and lifespan. This is very convenient if you forget to keep track of when you first started using the filters.

Using this RO system personally has reduced the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of my water from 350-400 parts per million (PPM) in the tap water down to 15-25 PPM (bottled water quality).  This is incredible performance, and I know my health is being protected when I can validate the performance myself with a basic TDS meter.  I have a water production business at home, and the quality of the water I sell has also improved.

Unique features of RO system: Side panel that covers the filters is held on by magnets instead of plastic clips which can break easily.  I absolutely love this unique feature, and I outline it in the video below.

Improvements to the RO system: The only improvement I can think of is it is not clear how far forward to pull the filter when you need to replace it.  You need to be careful and pull it out slowly because the part that the filter plugs into will contact / touch the plastic top of the RO system.  Just use care when you are replacing the filters and you will have no issues.

The countertop RO system has three volume settings that let you know when a 1/2 liter, 1 liter, or 1.5 liters of clean reverse osmosis water has been produced. You simply fill RO tank with tap water and then push the round water-making button on the front of the machine, and it will begin the process of producing reverse osmosis water.

This TDS level is the same as excellent quality drinking water you would pay for in the store that is created in a similar way through an industrial reverse osmosis process. Using this countertop RO system, I know my health is being protected when I can validate the performance myself with a basic TDS meter.

I bought this Bluevua Elegant Six Stage Reverse Osmosis System (100 GPD at 0.26L/Min Flow) to keep a constant flow of reverse osmosis (RO) re-mineralized water flowing into my John Ellis Living Water Machine (LWM-5) Distiller. This RO system does NOT have an auto shut off valve like other tankless reverse osmosis systems. The two hour auto shut off valve is inconvenient on other tankless RO systems because you have to turn it back on every two hours to keep a constant flow of water running into the John Ellis Living Water Machine. You can’t beat the price point for this RO system when you consider filtration performance for contaminant removal, mineral removal and a constant flow rate for the John Ellis Machine. When the reverse osmosis water storage tank is full, it also puts a good flow rate through my Kangen K8 Water Ionizer as well.

This system is elegantly designed, and hookup is absolutely streamlined compared to the regular Bluevua Six Stage Reverse Osmosis System (100 GPD at 0.26L/Min Flow) unit that you sell.  Even though they are functionally the same the setup for this unit will be so much easier for a novice individual who is setting it up for the first time. They will be able complete the installation on their own without the help of a plumber and save money in the long run.

The system is packaged very well and protected during shipping.  You will notice the package care in the video below.  It was easy to get each item out of the box without having to turn the box upside down.  The packaging engineer is did a fantastic job because I did not even have to turn it upside down to get the reverse osmosis system (RO) out.

Let’s first talk about the filters that come with this system.  The Coconut Carbon Block Filter (CTO) removes all the additional chlorine and organic matters from the water without releasing carbon ashes.  It must be replaced yearly.  The Granular Activated Carbon Filter (GAC) absorbs heavy chlorine, and chlorine by-products such as chloramine, THM and TCE.  It must be replaced yearly.  The Polypropylene Sediment Filter (PP) removes dirt, corrosion, sediment, red worms, sand, and other physical particles.  This is also used to protect the back filters.  The Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter (RO) removes heavy metals, bacteria, virus, and other harmful substances. It must be replaced every two years.  The Mineral Ball filter consistently releases easily absorbed minerals, all essential to the human body, into the drinking water.  It puts calcium, magnesium, selenium, strontium, potassium, and healthy salts with other trace minerals back in the RO water.  The Mineral Ball filter must be replaced yearly.  The quality of the filters is world-class, and replacement filters are budget friendly.  When replacing the filters I love the pull forward, drop and go feature that allows any customers to change each of the filters in seconds.

Using this RO system personally has reduced the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of my water from 350-400 parts per million (PPM) in the tap water down to 10-20 PPM.  This is incredible performance, and I know my health is being protected when I can validate the performance myself with a basic TDS meter.  I have a water production business at home, and the quality of the water I sell has also improved. My customers are always asking me what kind of setup I have because they love the taste of the water we produce so much.  Well, this is part of our prefiltration setup, and now you know.

The filters used on the Bluevua Six Stage RO System are a reverse osmosis membrane filter, coconut carbon block filter, granular activated carbon filter, polypropylene sediment filter, and a mineral ball filter for remineralization.  Most of the filters on this unit need to be replaced between 6 months - 2 years.  You will get a lot of use out of this system for years to come you can simply contact us directly to get more filters.

The Bluevua Reverse Osmosis System comes packaged very well. The instructions are very easy to understand, and system installation is a breeze.  No parts were missing, and I was surprised how sturdy and well-built this RO system is.  The metal frame all the filters are attached to is heavy and well-constructed.  I was able to get the system setup in under 30 minutes, and 10 of those 30 minutes were spent reading through the instructions. This system comes with a one-year warranty, and it will last you for many years to come.

How do we compare Essentia water alkalinity to Kangen alkalinity fairly?

What is the deal with Essentia alkaline water? Is it bad for you?

Essentia alkaline water is bottled 9.5 potential hydrogen (pH) alkaline water. The ingredients in Essentia alkaline water are purified water (by reverse osmosis), sodium bicarbonate, dipotassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate and calcium chloride and electrolytes for taste. They purify their water with reverse osmosis to start with the cleanest kind of water with 99% of contaminants removed. In removing contaminants precious minerals are also removed that have to be added back in after reverse osmosis.

Let’s start with some of the basics by understanding the ingredients in Essentia alkaline water:

  • Many waters with a pH < 6.5 are acidic, soft, and corrosive. Sodium compounds like sodium bicarbonate are added during water treatment in order to raise the pH level of the water by chemically neutralizing the acidity as well as to soften the water. In raising the pH you also make the water alkaline.

  • Dipotassium Phosphate is used as a preservative and a flavor enhancer. This artificial type of salt is made from the elements sodium and phosphorus.

  • Magnesium Sulfate is an inorganic salt (e.g. Epsom salt). It is a naturally occurring mineral that is important for many systems in the body especially the muscles and nerves. Magnesium sulfate also increases water in the intestines and helps with constipation. It is added to water in a very small amount as a flavor enhancer.

  • Calcium Chloride is an inorganic salt used as an electrolyte in bottled water. Calcium chloride ingested in large amounts can cause health problems, but the trace amounts found in your water bottles is safe. They regulate fluid levels in the body, keep the blood’s pH level balanced and enable muscle contractions like the beating of your heart.

The next question to ask is do bottled water with ingredients like the ones above harm your heath?

None of this should be cause for health concerns, says Marion Nestle, professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health and professor of Sociology at New York University. The additives being put into water are those naturally found in water and the quantities of these additives are likely too small to be of much significance. “If you had pure water by itself, it doesn’t have any taste,” says Bob Mahler, Soil Science and Water Quality professor at the University of Idaho. “So companies that sell bottled water will put in calcium, magnesium or maybe a little bit of salt.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that Americans reduce current levels of sodium intake by 2,300 mg per day, so you would have to drink a lot of water to make much of a difference. The typical amount of sodium in water averages at around 17 mg per liter (e.g. 33.8 ounces). A bottle of water is typically 16.9 ounces. This would equate to drinking 270 16.9 ounce bottles of water to exceed your recommended daily salt intake per FDA guidelines. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends only drinking water that contains 20 mg of sodium per liter or less.

 
 

Why does blowing oxygen into alkaline water cause it to turn acidic? Is this a valid test to claim one alkaline water is better than another?

When we blow bubbles into straw in water we are adding carbon dioxide into it which reacts with the water forming carbonic acid , so the pH the water decreases slightly.

When you blow air into Essentia alkaline water it takes about 30 seconds of blowing air into it to turn it acidic (see video below). When you blow air into Kangen 9.5 pH water for the same amount of time the color of it still stays purple, and it appears the pH has not changed. I can guarantee you though that the pH has dropped slightly perhaps from 9.5 pH to around 8.5 pH. The only way to verify the pH is to use a calibrated hydrogen meter.

It is also important to note none of the additional inorganic salts or minerals in Essentia alkaline water cause it to turn acidic when you blow air bubbles into it. It is purely as a result of carbon dioxide reacting with the water to form carbonic acid that causes the water to turn acidic. Watch the quick video below to see what blowing air bubbles into Kangen alkaline water vs Essentia alkaline water looks like. Take note of how quick the Essentia alkaline water turns acidic. The first question I ask myself is why does it turn acidic before the Kangen Water, and has the pH of the Kangen Water been altered in anyway? Chemistry would say yes!

I decided to run my own test but this time using Kangen 8.5 pH water instead of Kangen 9.5 pH water. See the results below for yourself. Conclusion is that ALL alkaline water in bottles or from water ionizers will have a decrease in pH because of carbonic acid. You cannot claim this test of blowing bubbles into alkaline water as a basis to say one alkaline water is stronger or better for your health than another. If you blew longer into the Kangen 9.5 pH water it would eventually turn acidic but how long that would take is the question, and maybe a test you can do for yourself. At the end of the day this test is for pure marketing and not science. We should be focused on the benefits of alkaline water within the body, and not on our competitors. Be blessed and thrive.

What is John Ellis Water?

Traditional tap and purified water has a hydrogen bond angle of 104 - 104.5 degrees. John Ellis water takes standard tap or purified water and changes the hydrogen bond angle of it from 104 degrees to 113 - 114 degrees. Changing the bond angle is done using multi-pass distillation by rapidly heating and cooling the water inside the boiling chamber (3x per minute or hundreds of times per gallon made). Single pass distillation creates dead water with a bond angle of 101 degrees, and you should not drink store bought distilled water. When the pure energized distilled John Ellis water cools, the bond angle will remain at 113.8 - 114 degrees. In other words, the expansion of the hydrogen bond angle is permanent in the living water produced by the John Ellis Living Water Electron 5 Machine (LWM-5) Water Machine.

Water consumed with a bond angle above 108° degrees eliminates the effect of potential pathogens in our food supply (e.g. bacterium, viruses, or other microorganisms that can cause disease) from affecting our bodies because more oxygen from the water mixes with the superior blood flow to all the extremities of our body. The larger bond angle enables our bodies to use more of the oxygen present in the water in the cells of our bloodstream and destroy foreign pathogens, viruses, bacterium, and microorganisms. The wider hydrogen bond angle in John Ellis water has also been found to contribute to greater amounts of energy to the cells, increase blood flow, decrease swelling in the body, and it has anti-radiation (theoretically cancer-prevention) properties.

There are 13 patents registered with the US Patent Office that John Ellis owns on his Living Water Machine steel distillers worldwide. They have shown that less than 20 - 30 drops of cold water every 20 seconds into boiling water takes only SECONDS to open the hydrogen bond angle from 104 degrees to 114 degrees permanently, and this is the groundbreaking science behind how the John Ellis Living Water Electron 5 Machine (LWM-5) Water Machine works. See the video below to learn what the hydrogen bond angle of water is?

Dr. Guy Abraham, MD at UCLA Medical School did many independent studies with the Living Water Electron 5 (LWM-5) machines. He used five of them to make water and give to people. He took hundreds of blood tests from different people consuming the energized distilled living water from the living water machine at UCLA. He said in a letter to John Ellis “you can’t argue with something you can measure. The results speak for themselves. We can measure the ability of blood (e.g. which is 94% water) to go through a membrane and into the cells. Nothing is even close to your living water. Your hydrogen bond angle is 10 degrees greater than ordinary water. No wonder we’re getting these results. You changed the properties of water!”

What is Alkaline Ionized Water?

Water Ionizers change the potential hydrogen (pH) of the water.  Water that is hydrogen rich has a high concentration of Molecular Hydrogen (H2).  Molecular Hydrogen acts as an efficient antioxidant that diffuses rapidly across cell membranes and can reduce free radicals, stopping oxidative stress.  Oxidation is the loss of electrons and anti-oxidation is the gain of electrons in water.  Oxidation reactions produce free radicals in the body, and antioxidants stop these reactions.  High levels of oxidants and insufficient antioxidants in the body is what causes oxidative stress.  Therefore, we should consume a diet that is high in antioxidants and care about the quality and quantity of the water we drink to reduce damage caused by oxidative stress.

Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) is measured with a millivolt meter, and it measures the ability of water to act as an antioxidant.  ORP water which measures in the lower negative ranges (-400, -600) test strong for antioxidants and is preferred for oral consumption. This kind of water removes corrosiveness and free radicals in your body that cause daily damage and premature aging.  It keeps you well hydrated, may help with weight loss, acts like an anti-inflammatory, and is great for anti-aging and wrinkles because your body is well hydrated.  In general, high ORP water is better for the outside of the body (e.g. cleaning and sanitizing).  Water with a low ORP measurement can only be achieved with a high-quality water ionizer.

Alkaline ionized water contains hydroxide ions (OH-) and positive ions (such as calcium ions) produced by electrolysis.  The water produced by an Alkaline Water Ionizer is alkaline, micro-clustered, hydrogen-infused, antioxidant rich water that is good for the body and good for your health. Drinking this water daily will provide your body with more antioxidants than you can consume through healthy food daily and promote cellular regeneration and reduce acidity in your body tissues. Drinking this water daily will also help carry nutrients to cells, help with digestion, flush out toxins, help prevent headache and fatigue, and can even aid in weight loss or maintence. You also get the best daily hydration because the water is micro clustered and structured for easy absorption into your cells.


What are the Similarities Between John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized Water?

Both waters are micro-clustered structured water that have a reduced surface tension so cells can easily absorb the water faster. Both waters provide excellent hydration. Both John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized water are living waters created using different processes.


What are the Differences Between John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized Water?

  • John Ellis water is energized distilled water with a neutral potential hydrogen (pH) of 7. John Ellis water is neither alkaline or acidic. Alkaline Ionized water produces alkaline water (without the use of chemicals) which has a pH of 8.5 - 9.5, and Alkaline Ionized Water Machines use electrolysis to separate mineralized water into two water streams - alkaline and acidic water streams. Alkaline is for use in the body, and acidic is for use outside the body.

  • Alkaline Ionized water contains infused and free-floating molecular hydrogen, and John Ellis water does not. Molecular hydrogen reduces inflammation in the body enabling your body to heal itself naturally.

  • John Ellis Water has a bond angle of 114 degrees, and Alkaline Ionized water has a hydrogen bond angle of 104 degrees or the same as purified drinking water.

  • John Ellis living water is created using multi-pass distillation and has minerals removed from the water, and Alkaline Ionized living water is alkaline hydrogen rich water created through a process called electrolysis.


Why Should I Mix John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized Water?

When you fill a glass with half John Ellis pure energized distilled water (7 pH) and half Alkaline Ionized water (9.5 pH) a few incredible things happen. You are creating a mixture that has all the benefits of John Ellis water and all the benefits of Alkaline Ionized water in a single glass. The 9.5 pH alkaline ionized water raises the pH of the John Ellis 7.0 pH water. This new glass of water will be a light alkaline living water with a pH of 8.0 - 8.5. This pH range is much easier on digestion and will help your body’s tissues become more alkaline slowly. As this happens you will also reduce acidity in the body.

By mixing John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized water together you create a living water that is structured, infused with molecular hydrogen, antioxidant-rich, micro clustered with a reduced surface tension (e.g. with a lower surface tension cells become fully hydrated) and has a 114-degree bond angle.

Drinking this mixed water daily will reduce inflammation (e.g. pain) in the body, provide your body with the antioxidants it needs in order to remove free radicals, promote cellular regeneration, hydrate you better than tap water or any store bought water, and allow your body to use more oxygen from the water in your cells so you are less susceptible to bacterium, viruses, pathogens, and other microorganisms that can cause disease.
