In enacting the Safe Drinking Water Act in 1974,
Congress envisioned a major overhaul of the
nations drinking water supply.
By all accounts, that vision has failed.
3The EPA ranks drinking water pollution as one of
thetop 4 environmental threats to health.
The ongoing problem of tainted drinking water is
very disturbing.
It is complicated by the varying standards
andexpectations of drinking water.
4- In early summer, half the rivers streams in
America's Corn Belt, lakes are laced with
unhealthy levels of pesticides.
- Microbes in tap water may be responsible for 1
in 3 cases of all gastrointestinal illnesses. -
- Ironically, even the chlorine widely used to
disinfect water, produces carcinogenic traces
when combined with other common substances in
water.
5The delicate ecosystem Mother Earth
contains a fixed amount of water, the very
source of life itself.
- So the next time you take a moment to drink a
refreshing glass of water, keep this in mind
All of the water there ever was is still with us
today.
6Water is Alive
- Cycled recycled in an incredible and never
ending self-cleaning process. - A natural process which is now being stressed to
unnatural limits due to - increasing agricultural runoff
- industrial pollutants
- inadequate sewage treatment facilities
- deteriorating pipes fittings
7First falling as rain
- Water circulates throughout the earth's
surface as rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans. - Water flow generates electrical power and
forms natural super highways for transportation
while functioning as the nation's collective
sewage waste disposal system. - Ultimately some of that same water winds its
way through water treatment plants and end up on
your home as potable water for drinking and food
preparation.
8Drinking water safetycannot be taken for granted
- There are a number of threats to drinking water
- improperly disposed of chemicals
- animal wastes
- pesticides
- human wastes
- wastes injected deep underground
- and naturally occurring substances can all
contaminate drinking water. - Drinking water that is not properly treated or
disinfected,or which travels through an
improperly maintained distribution system, may
also pose a health risk.
9Shortages of clean water have a direct effect on
human health.
- Water contaminated with fecal bacteria,
parasites and other microbes causes about 6,000
deaths every day. - including 1.4 million children under the age of
5 every year.
10Facts
- Americans drink more than 1 billion glasses of
tap water per day. - A person must consume 2.5 quarts of water per day
from all sources (drinking, eating) to maintain
health. - 70 of human body is water 75 of the human
brain is water. - The average American uses over 100 gallons of
water per day the average residence uses over
100,000 gallons per year.
11Revolutionary BreakthroughFor Drinking Water
WHOLLY WATER The Ultimate Drinking Water
Appliance

19A Heavy Duty Drinking Water Appliance with 6
unique filter media
Approximately 17-1/2 lb. of 6 different
media That is a whopping 440 cubic inches of
media!
205 Filter Beds of 6 Filter Media
- First layer - Traps particulate sediments for
easy removal in backwash cycle. - Second layer - A naturally mined mineral that
removes iron, sulfur, manganese certain heavy
metals. Removes chlorine, and it lasts - not
used up like carbon. - Third layer - KDF, a patented copper-zinc media
that removes iron, sulfur, other common
minerals at a higher level that are offensive to
smell taste. Also removes inorganic toxins
heavy metals that makes the next bed of carbon
last longer. KDF kills bacteria without using
toxic silver. - Fourth layer - 2 advanced media that specifically
formulated for selectively removing arsenic
fluoride. - Fifth layer - GAC, the highest grade of coconut
shell carbon. Removes organic materials
including most pesticides many poisonous
materials.
21Patented Multi-Media Construction
- There are 4 filter disk media bed separators
one before each stage. - The large diameter of pressure vessel each disk
slows water flow to spread it over the whole
surface of the media. - This prevents CHANNELING at each stage.
- This increases contact time resulting in higher
purity at each stage.
Top bottom distributor baskets are very fine
and self-cleaning in backwash mode.
22Patented Technology Prevents Water Channeling
- Water Channeling is a common problem in most
water filters. - Channeling is caused by forcing water through
granular filter media too quickly, making an open
pathway to the other end of the filter. - This leaves contaminants in the water
unfiltered. - No Channeling with WHOLLY WATER
- The only result is PURE water!
23Fits easily under your sink
- 18 inches high x 8 inches diameter
- Weight About 20 lb.
- Approx. 1 gallon/minute flow rate
- Tank - FDA food grade materials
- Filters down to 10 to 15 microns by itself
- Wholly Water Appliance removes up to 99
bacteria. With a 0.5 micron post filter
installed after the Wholly Water, there is 100
bacteria, parasites cyst removal. - Can also be attached to your icemaker for
great-tasting ice!
24Video Installation includedand written
instructions
25Easy Backwash
This self-cleaning feature cleanses the system,
forcing trapped pipe sediment particulate down
the drain, not into your drinking water.
- Disconnect the blue black line from top of
Wholly Water by pushing on the metal leak-free,
pushbutton quick disconnects. - Reverse blue black line to backwash.Insert
blue line to IN and black line to OUT port. - Suggest backwash be done every 3 months or so,
depending on your water quality. Some people go
longer.
26Normal Filtration Mode
After backwash is done, just switch lines back
into original position as shown above.
27Need a Pressure Regulator?
- Important! If you suspect your water pressure
is over 60 psi or you are on municipal water
supply, a water pressure regulator should be
installed on the line before your WHOLLY WATER
Appliance.
28Environmentally Friendly
- No filters to change so
- no old filters to throw away that fill up
landfills dumps. - No water bottles to throw away.
- No wasted water as with reverse osmosis.
2910 to 20 percent of human exposure to lead may
come from lead in drinking water.
- One in 6 people drink water with excessive
amounts of lead, a heavy metal that impairs
children's IQ attention span. - Infants who consume mostly mixed formula can
receive 40 to 60 percent of their exposure to
lead from drinking water.
30How Lead in Water Can Affect You
- Can cause serious damage to the brain, kidneys,
nervous system, and red blood cells. - The health effects of lead are most severe for
infants and children.A child's mental and
physical development can be irreversibly
stunted. - For adults, it can result in kidney problems or
high blood pressure.
31WHOLLY WATER Also Removes Arsenic Fluoride
- Both are extremely toxic.
- Toxicity is accumulative builds up in your body
over time. - They are very reactive combine with other
common substances like Aluminum in the water,
making toxic compounds. (They may do more bodily
harm in less time.)
32Fluoride in Drinking Water
- dental fluorosis - mottling pitting of teeth
- skeletal fluorosis arthritic pain, spine
rigidity, mal shaping of bones. - cancer
- genetic damage
- allergies
Mild to severe dental fluorosis
Lead Arsenic may also be in fluoridated water
supplies. Not only may fluoridated water contain
fluosilicic acid, a non-pharmaceutical quality
fluoride, but heavy metals,such as lead
arsenic all derived from the waste byproducts
of fertilizer manufacturing!
33WHOLLY WATER removes 99 of fluoride at 20,000
gallons. Up to 78,000 gallons under EPA Safe
Drinking Act Standards.These tests were with
input of 8.2 ppm.
In practical terms, 2 parts per million (ppm)
going in could last over 4 times as long and may
be 100 removed with WHOLLY WATER.
To give you an idea how long this lasts and the
performance of System The average family uses
between 1,000 to 2,000 gallons of water per year.
At this rate, it would take 10 to 20 years to use
20,000 gallons.
34Arsenic in Drinking Water
- When ingested in dissolved form, inorganic
arsenic is readily absorbed. - Long-term exposure causes cancer of the skin,
lungs, urinary bladder, and kidney, as well as
skin changes such as pigmentation changes and
thickening (hyperkeratosis). - Increased risks of lung and bladder cancer and of
arsenic-associated skin lesions have been
observed at drinkingwater arsenic concentrations
of less than 0.05 mg/L.
WHOLLY WATER removes 100 of arsenic at 20,000
gallons. Up to 78,000 gallons under EPA Safe
Drinking Act Standards
35WHOLLY WATER More effective than Reverse
Osmosis
- The vital, healthy minerals for good health
remain in your water! - Removes more contaminants for better water
quality, better taste. - No membranes to change!
- Typically with RO, there are 5-10 gallons wasted
down the drainfor every gallon saved for
drinking water! - Costs thousands less than a whole house RO
system. - Faster water flow.
- No maintenance cost.
36Do you drink Reverse Osmosis or Distilled Water?
- Do you believe that drinking Reverse Osmosis or
Distilled Water is - the healthiest water because you believe
that there is nothing in it? - Both processes may remove some contaminants, but
they also remove the vital minerals that your
body needs. Since these waters lack minerals,
they become very aggressive and immediately leach
out healthy minerals from your bones, tissues,
organs your whole body. - WHOLLY WATER for good health!
- Leaves the vital minerals in your water and in
your body, in a more bio-available form.
37Comparison of Wholly Water and Reverse Osmosis
Note Wholly Water Appliance removes up to 99
bacteria. With a 0.5 micron post filter
installed after the Wholly Water, there is 100
bacteria removal.
