Re: Clean Water and a Healthy Planet

You might want to read how it works before you put forth opinions and assertions about effectiveness. ECOsmarte has been in business 14 years and we have a 99% customer satisfaction rate. Here is some detailed information about the science summary from our corporate website.

Copper ions are added. Oxidation is performed. Filtration is performed.

Minerals are not precipitated out. They are transformed to a softer bicarbonate state by the copper ions, eliminating the hard water issues that cause most people to seek out a water softener. No hard water scaling, maximum detergent effectivness. In fact the presence of the copper ions actually causes exisiting scale to go back into solution - effectively de-scaling the inside of your pipes.

GAC (granular activated carbon) in the media tank filters out the toxic by-products of chlorination as well as heavy metals and other contaminants. The GAC does not affect the naturally occurring minerals in the water. The healthy minerals stay in the water where your body can use them.

The World Health Organization did a study of the long term effects of drinking demineralized water and came to the conclusion that even the small amounts of minerals in hard water are a health benefit, and that drinking de-mineralized is connected to negative health consequences.

Our system is guaranteed up to 25 grains of hardness, which applies to the vast majority of people who are using water softeners. Imagine how much water could be saved! Talk about helping the Planet...
