FAQ

When you grab a drink of water delivered by your Absolute Alkaline Plus Water System, you'll see a whole lot of tiny bubbles in your glass. These bubbles are negative hydroxyl ion oxygen bubbles. They are created by the process of ionization and show the NEGATIVE Oxidation Reduction Potencial (-ORP), or the anti-oxidant power of your water. The higher the -ORP, the more oxygen bubbles you'll see in your water.

The oxygen bubbles quickly dissipate, so drinking the water before the bubbles float away is extra beneficial. If you bottle and cap the water, over time you may not see any bubbles, however the water remains ionized. As there are minerals in the water, the hydroxyl ions will also be there.

As blood cells carry oxygen for use throughout your body, those oxygen bubbles are important. The oxygenated water helps increase energy and boosts your immune system. Low levels of oxygen in the blood can result in dizziness, fatigue, and lack of energy.

Remember, all those tiny oxygen bubbles mean the greatest -ORP levels, which go a long way to improving your health and wellbeing.

Changing your filters depends on the amount of water consumed and the quality of tap water coming in. On average, filters must be changed within a year.

Depends on the amount of water you currently purchase and consume drinking and cooking, not counting the savings when it comes to your overall health!

Depending on which Whole House System installed, the maintenance will vary. For example, a Whole House Mixed Bed system requires only adding salt to the brine tank as needed. The filter is changed once every 4 – 5 years. The whole house activated Carbon backwash filter requires a media change every 3-4 years. The 2 stage big blue requires yearly filter replacement.

TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids. TDS are the total amount of total of mobile charged ions, including minerals, salts, or metals dissolved in a given volume of water. TDS, which is based on conductivity, is expressed in parts per million (ppm). TDS affects everything that consumes, lives in or uses water from fish & plants to plumbing and laboratories. For people, the lower the TDS levels in the water you drink, the more efficiently your body cells are hydrated. The higher the TDS level in water, the greater the probability of harmful contaminants that can pose health risks or hinder the absorption of water. A TDS meter allows you to monitor the level of contaminants in your water.

The Absolute/RO System does not use electricity and eliminates the need to purchase plastic bottles of water. Only 1 in 5 bottles are recycled, the rest end up in landfills. The oil used each year to make plastic water bottles in the U.S. could run more than 100,000 cars!

The Whole House System removes hardness, iron and other metals. In addition, the activated carbon also removes chlorine, other chemicals & contaminants. Because the water travels back through existing plumbing, the water is recommended for bathing, laundry and dish washing. While it is okay to drink, there is no guarantee the water is 100% contaminant free.

Replenishing the salt depends on the incoming water hardness and on your overall water consumption. For example, a family of 4 using incoming water with a hardness of 10 grains/gallon will need a 40 pound bag every 2 months.

Because drinking RO water is like drinking "dead water". Reverse Osmosis technology removes everything from the water, including essential minerals. The Absolute re-mineralizing filter adds calcium, magnesium and potassium to your drinking water, raising the pH, enhancing its health benefits, quality and taste.

The Absolute re-mineralizing cartridge restores minerals to the purified and de-mineralized water and brings the water's pH back up to 7.0 - 7.2 or NEUTRAL. Our body's natural pH hovers around 7.0.

The PH BOOSTER and IONIZER goes a very important step further. It puts back Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium, therefore the PH of the water delivered is now between 8.5 - 9.0, making the water ALKALINE and IONIZED with great ANTI-OXIDANT properties. Alkaline & anti-oxidant water has been proven effective in preventing and treating cancer, diabetes, aging, auto immune & other diseases. Most diseases, except those caused by pathogenic bacteria, are linked to pollution of the blood.

Since the human body consists mostly of water, when we drink poor quality water, where pollution has weakened the cohesive power of the molecules, we risk disease. Alkaline & anti-oxidant water is believed to activate those enzymes that remove harmful free radical oxygen in the body. Alkaline & anti-oxidant water is not "medicine" but is an effective deterrent against certain diseases. It boosts our immunity and has natural healing properties. When comparing two healthy adults, studies show significant differences between the one drinking tap water and the one drinking alkaline & anti-oxidant water.

Yes, always use Absolute water to cook! Boiling city water to ensure safety is a myth! While it's true some bacteria and viruses are killed (municipalities adding chlorine and/or ammonia already take care of bacteria), it is also true that boiling tap water results only in a higher concentration of those harmful chemicals and contaminants found in the water, making the water more dangerous upon consumption. Municipal water supplies are treated through chlorination. That chlorine - a known carcinogen – does not completely evaporate and it is just one of the many chemical contaminants concentrated when boiled.

The Absolute Whole House system will make your water soft and most importantly, chlorine free. As a result, you will need to use less soap to bathe and even wash your clothes. Your skin and hair will be soft, smooth & moist. While it will take some time to be accustomed to your new water, the Absolute Whole House System can be calibrated to your personal preferences.

Any way you look at it, fluoride is hazardous to your health. Check out this link: www.douglassreport.com and key "fluoride" into the search box. It's just one of thousands of websites where you can get all the information about need about fluoride.

YES! Absolute removes fluoride.
