The Wellness Shower effectively reduces up to 99% of Chlorine for up to 24 months - two or three times longer than any other shower filtration system available. Most people are aware of the harmful effects of chlorine and other chemicals in their drinking water. However, many don't realize the negative effects this volatile chemical causes on the body's largest organs - our skin and lungs. Hot water quickly opens up the pores of our skin and we end up absorbing over 600% more chlorine and other chemicals than we would from drinking the same un-filtered water all day.

"Taking long hot showers is a health risk...... Showers, and to a lesser extent baths, lead to a greater exposure to toxic chemicals contained in water supplies than does drinking it. The chemicals evaporate out of the water and are inhaled. They can also spread through the house and be inhaled by others. House holders can receive 6 to 100 times more of the chemical by breathing the air around showers and bath than they would by drinking the water."

NEW SCIENTIST -September 1986

After the water has been purified it proceeds into our proprietary enhancement stage. Here the water is optimized to enhance your showering experience. First water proceeds through our patented magnetic treatment stage. Here reduced ions are generated that protect the skin from free radical attack and aid the body in repairing damaged skin and hair. This stage is also responsible for increasing hydration by 115% over tap water, moisturizing your hair and skin without the residue of lotions.

Once the water has passed through the magnetic treatment stage it passes through our proprietary Taicho and Bakuhan medias. Taicho stone gives the water bacterio-static and fungi-static properties which help the body resist undesirable bacteria and fungus. It also promotes a healthier, sanitized shower. Bakuhan stone helps hair retain its natural proteins and Eliminates Bad Hair Days! It's no wonder why the Number 1 Health Spa in the world, Hippocrates Health Institute uses the Wellness Shower exclusively.

Wellness Water Filtration

The first step to create healthy water is to cleanse it of unwanted impurities. The Wellness process uses a variety of filtration media to achieve this and, unlike reverse osmosis or distillation, Wellness retains beneficial, acid buffering minerals including magnesium, calcium and potassium. These minerals are always found in natural springs and they are a key requirement for healthy water.

SPG Silica

The primary filtration medium is SPG Silica, a specially processed volcanic sand. In the Wellness Filter SPG plays a dual role as a protective barrier and as an active agent in the enhancement process. SPG has a micron rating that varies from 0.5 microns to 3 microns and is designed to mechanically filter asbestos, dirt, rust, and sediment. SPG is used in the Kitchen and Home systems only. It restricts flow rate too much to be utilized in the Shower and the enhancement effects are only used for drinking.

KDF 55 & 85

KDF® is a high-purity, granulated copper and zinc-based alloy that treats water based on the principle of REDOX (Oxidation-Reduction). KDF's induces an electro-chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred between molecules.

Many harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Free chlorine is changed into chloride (salt). Heavy metals such as Copper, Lead and Mercury react and are more easily captured by carbon or silica. KDF enhances filtration performance by extending carbon life, reducing maintenance and by reducing many contaminants including chloramines and heavy metals.

KDF's REDOX activity also creates an environment that’s deadly to some micro-organisms and interferes with the ability of others function. KDF is used in the Wellness Shower and Home systems only. Thanks to Wellness dual carbon stages it is not required in the S-III.

Organic Coconut and Activated Carbon

Carbon is the world's oldest filtration method known being recorded in both ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia where it was used to remove basic contaminants, odors and to improve taste. Carbon is the perfect material for removing chlorine and other organic chemical compounds and comes in many different grades according to the contaminant needing to be removed. Wellness uses both Organic Coconut and Activated carbon to protect against a wide range of chemicals, often reducing them to non-detectable levels.

Some of the contaminants treated include: Chlorine; Chloramines; Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs); Trihalomethanes (THMs); Taste and Odor; Heavy Metals.

Additionally, the carbon used in the Wellness S-III cartridge has been tightly packed into a block with a rating of 1 micron absolute, allowing for effective Cyst & Asbestos treatment. Carbon is used in all Wellness systems. The type used varies for each application.

Wellness Water Enhancement

Wellness enhancement technology was first introduced in the form of a consumer water purification system (the “Wellness Filter”) by Wellness’ founder, Haru Naito, over twenty years ago. This system has been acclaimed for its ability to induce into water certain unique properties that improve or enhance water’s already vital role in life. Specifically, the technology can be used to design water that exhibits the following properties:

Higher rates of transmissivity to make it more readily absorbable by humans, animals and plants Reduced ions for a greatly improved and natural antioxidant effect Higher Solubility, making water 'wetter' Additional trace minerals that enhance cellular and biological function and stabilize pH Natural resistance to the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi How does the Wellness process create healthier water for you to enjoy at home?

Stage 1 - Magnetic Resonance Activation

The first sub-stage utilizes a patented magnetic induction stage that drops the surface tension of the water and increases the solubility. This process is also known as magnetic structuring of water and is well documented. This is the stage that significantly increases the transmissivity and solubility for the water.

Water with an increased level of solubility is able to hold an increased level of dissolved substances in it or prevent existing dissolved solids from plating out (anti-scaling). The combined effect is a super-hydrating water that will accelerate its transport (and whatever is dissolved in it) through membranes into the body as well as out of the body.

Stage 2 - Far-Infrared Antioxidants

The second sub-stage consists of a proprietary ceramic media that induces reduced or negative ions into the water. This material is classified as a Far-Infrared Emitting Ceramic and is made of a proprietary blend of volcanic media. Far-Infrared Ceramics convert thermal or mechanical energy into far-infrared energy. Several manufacturers are now selling specialized therapeutic saunas in which the heat radiators are made of far-infrared ceramics. Wellness, however, uses these proprietary ceramics to ionize water that is placed into contact with the media.

Depending on the formula for the ingredients used to make the ceramic, the concentration of negative ions produced can be controlled within a specific range. This aids in the production of certain water properties for specific applications.

Stage 3 - Mineral Stabilization

The third stage incorporates rare igneous stones known as Bakuhan™ and Taicho. Bakuhan is the only mineral ever to be certified by the Japanese Ministry of Health as possessing natural medicinal qualities. These rocks elute into water certain trace minerals that have been shown to have a therapeutic effect on arthritis and circulation, and to accelerate the healing of burns. These minerals also fill the "buffering capacity" of water, creating an alkaline effect in your body. It is important to note that pH and alkalinity, while related, are not the same thing and your water's pH will vary depending on the mineral content of your source water.

Taicho™ stone is noted for inducing natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties into water. Wellness has tested the properties of these minerals in several agricultural applications and found that the water stimulates plant growth while retarding fungus. This effect is so significant that a hyper-enhanced version of Wellness Water is being used as the base for Mannatech's (MTEX:NYSE) Optimal Skin Care Line, The First Completely Preservative Free Skincare Product in the World! In this hyper-enhanced form the water is bactericidal instead of bacterio-static and is capable of killing harmful strains of bacteria without any of the side effects of natural or synthetic preservatives.
