Description:
Because we now know that our tap water in the US may not be as safe as we are told, a good number of us rely on bottled water. Is it safe? This slidecast will show the evidence that we must refilter all water we drink.

2. Our water cycle 3. Chemical pollutants in our water cycle 4. Pesticides in our water cycle 5. Pollution and our health 6. Proof of contamination 97 percent of streams and 58 percent of ground water contain pesticides. U.S. Geological Survey 315 contaminants have been found in U.S. tap water, including lead, chromium-6, pesticides and rocket fuel. Environmental Working Group About 4,500 children die each day from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation facilities. Countless others suffer from poor health, diminished productivity and missed opportunities for education. UNICEF(UNICEF is the United Nations Children's Fund) 7. Lead pollutionLead in drinking water contributes to 480,000 cases of learning disorders in children each year. Environmental Protection Agency 8. Some typical examples of water sources 9. Some typical examples of water sourcesAnother freshwater source polluted by industry 10. Some typical examples of water sources 11. Some typical examples of water sources 12. Some typical examples of water sources 13. Bottled waterWe found chemical contamination in all bottled waters tested. They contained disinfection byproducts, fertilizer residue, and pain medication. Environmental Working Group 14. Dangers of fluoride 15. Contaminants in our waterSo how do we get rid of them? 16. How do we get rid of contaminants?Boiling Not practical for on the go Only good for microbial contaminates Makes other contaminates (asbestos, lead, mercury, etc.) more concentrated 17. How do we get rid of contaminants?Ultaviolet light Not practical for on the go Only good for microbial contaminates Murky minerals in water less effective Kill zone is only 2 3 Requires electricity or batteries 18. How do we get rid of contaminants?Iodine Bad taste Only good for microbial contaminates Nothing gets filtered out Some people are allergic to iodine Too much iodine can cause some people to release fluoride and bromine from their bodies (detox) 19. How do we get rid of contaminants?Reverse osmosis and distillation Creates demineralized or hungry water Causes diuresis of fluid from our bodies Causes increased elimination of potassium, calcium and magnesium Lower volumes of red blood cells, and swells kidney blood vessels (limiting blood flow) 20. How do we get rid of contaminants?Filtration Hole-size is important for bacteria, viruses, protozoa and parasites Advanced techniques 21. Hole-Size FiltersDirty Side- Germs -Pesticides - Pharmaceuticals - Heavy metals - Needed minerals (if too small)Trapped germ 22. Filter Size Wars1.0 micron bacteria, protozoa 0.01 microns virus 0.001 microns pesticidesHuman hair Enlarged 2000 times 23. The amazing Puritii filter It is VERY difficult to draw liquid through a .001 micron filter!The Filter is in the straw 24. The amazing Puritii filter Stage 1: Zeolite Sleeve - Kills bacteria and virus; doesnt just trap them - Reduces lead and other heavy metals - Zeolite is Mother Natures radiation container 25. The amazing Puritii filter Stage 2: Pleated Nano-fiber - Strong positive (+) charge that attracts tiny negative (-) charged germs like a magnet - Does not overly restrict water flow through the straw - Treated with 26. The amazing Puritii filter Stage 3: Sub-Micron Carbon - Activated carbon (from coconut shells) embedded in the filter to reduce chlorine - Improves the taste of the water (no chlorine taste) - Reduces pesticides, drugs and other* There are hundreds of thousands ofchemicals on the market, it is unknown how much or how many are removed with any filter 27. Independent testing of the Puritii filter 28. Puritii water informationFor more information, please go to the following links: Web: www.Drink.WaterByPuritii.com or www.ARIIXInternetTeam.com
