Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 I looked into Ellis's work years ago, but you had to buy on faith. He did a verbal blurb, but not much more. He built each unit as it was ordered and no warantee and needed to be prepaid. Has the methods changed at all? water purification So who has heard of the Living Water Machine created by Olympic Athlete Ellis at johnellis.com? Does it function like it says it does? I have a well in the country and hard water comes from it, as does farming chemicals, pollutants and so fourth... I am looking into investing into a water purification/ionization system. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Sorry, I have never heard of the Ellis system...But one of our very own, Jeff Grotte, sells copper ionization water purification systems (EcoSmarte). He is building a swimming pool for me right now that will use that instead of chlorine. I'm just waiting to see how it works, and plan to convert my home to it as well. I mentioned before, that I will then have a large reverse osmosis system available. If you want to look into the EcoSmarte, check out his website at poolguy.com or call him at 763/595-8111.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I stongly recommend considering an ozone system along with or instead of that system. Ozone is used in all the Olympic Training pools and the Olympics itself. Ozone was first used in the Olymics in Korea. More World records in swimming were set in that Olympics than any other. Chlorine gas is heavier than air and accumulates just above the surface of the water where the swimmers breathe. Guess what breathing chlorine gas does to your swimming times? Usually copper and silver ions are used in systems like you are considering.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I use reverse osmosis water for drinking that I buy for 39 cents a gallon at Cub or Rainbow Supermarkets. I energize the water using Prill Beads and Cosmic Energy Stones. I add a pure water additive to my drinking water that contains 24.5 million frequencies. I get my minerals from raw veggies, seaweed, and above sea Coral Calcium. I do not buy expensive Organic Produce. I soak my fruits and veggies in water and Miracle II Neutralizer. Tomatoes last for weeks at room temperature afterwards. I have a showerhead filter that I use to take showers and baths. Adding a squirt of Miracle II Neutralizer to a glass of water or other liquid neutralizes the negative effect of anything that might be in the water. One of the best ways to hydrate your body is to take a hot 40 minute bath with 2 cups of Epsom Salts (magnesium sulphate). Go to; www.mgwater.com to see why. I also use Miracle II Soap and Neutralizer in my foot soaks and baths. Phil Ratte 1713 Innsbruck Mpls, MN 55421 763 574-0291 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hi , We have used a " Living Waters, Water Treatment Technology " purification system for years, but this system was developed by Lono Ho'ala, author of one of the books on Water: Don't Drink the Water http://btobsearch.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?btob=Y & endeca=1 & \ isbn=096288829X & itm=4. The product is still recommended by Dr. Weil. Our dual filter purification system has been used with well water on the mountainside in Spokane Wa, outside Appleton WI (also a farm area), and in Nashua NH (which sits on solid granite, and where water can rattle against your teeth), and now, here, with Rochester's chlorinated city water. We are long-time tea drinkers, and brew tea daily. Hard or chlorinated water makes lousy tea, but this filtered water makes beautiful tea - even with a water softener (we use potassium salts). For a catalog, call Conscious Living Systems, Inc, toll-free 888-524-8627. These are Hawaiian people and are very friendly and helpful. (I am just a loyal customer - nothing else.) They can help you decide which system would work best for you. We have an under-counter system - UC2 - which is a 4-stage system using solid carbon block and ceramic KDF filters. We have replaced the filters only once or twice over the years.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 This is very interesting. I have used SSKI for years on the advice of an MD who prescribed it as an excellent way to keep the chronic congestion in my lungs from becoming cement-like. We have found that it does indeed do that job very well. ~~Ruth water purification Hello dear group, There is a simple, inexpensive way to purify water when travelling; my daughter and I used it when we travelled to Egypt, and we had no problems at all, even though we are vegan (I am raw) and eat fresh fruits and veggies by the ton, complete with their peels. It is called SSKI, saturated solution of potassium iodide. We put a few drops of SSKI in our water before boarding any airplane; it inhibits germs, viruses, bacteria, fungi so no infection can occur. We mainly use it for purifying water at our destination, but also for GI upsets. It should not be used long-term, or if one has an iodine allergy. I bought it from the Tahoma Clinic Dispensary, Dr. 's clinic; call 1-888-893-6878 if you are interested. A 1 oz travel bottle, which we are still using two years later, and which easily fits in those horrible one quart plastic bags the airlines now require, cost me under $30 including shipping. (BTW, I have no connection with this clinic; I am just forwarding good information for anyone who is concerned about water safely.)Keep well, Sholtz, Ph.D, RSHom(NA), CCH *Registrar, North American Society of Homeopaths __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Hi Bee, Last year, in my research of water systems I was talking to Radiant Life (Weston Price) and a guy was telling me about all the pharmeceuticals that are in our water today, of course there is flouride and chlorine, heavy metals, etc. He especially emphasized the amine drugs and other pharmeceuticals. I use RO and am concerned about the mineral loss but also concerned about the drugs/chemicals/heavy metals in the water that Brita won't remove. I'm unsure what to do. Radiant Life sells a very expensive system that is suppose to clean and restructure the water. Bee, what about these drugs, chemicals, heavy metals. There are hundreds of them and new ones being dumped into our water every day. Thanks Bee, Cassandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 It's very easy to use, doesn't take forever to purify the water, and the cost is not prohibitive. The black filters are supposed to last for 6,000 gallons; the white ones (for arsenic/fluoride) for 1,000 gallons. Explore the web site to see all of the contaminants they are said to remove. I've had my unit only for a month, but since I discovered the Berkey filtration units, I've had numerous other people tell me that they recommend them. With these high recommendations, including from people I know, I'm going on " trust " that the claims are valid. When the filtering/purifying process slows, they say to wash the filters with a scrubbie. To check if they are still purifying, add some red food coloring to the water to be purified. If the water is clear after going through the filters, the filters are still working. No, I haven't had my water tested before or after. I live in the country of Panama where it would be difficult to impossible to do. Dottie > >...I recently bought one of these units and I love it! It removes the contaminants without removing the natural minerals. The " black Berkey " filters remove almost everything but there are separate kinds of filters for removal of fluoride and arsenic. I'm using both kinds of filters. > > >> Dottie - have you had your water tested before and after the Berkey filtration system? How do you know when to change the filters? What is it you 'love' about this system? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Bee, I looks like Brita has a filter that fits on the faucet somehow. Can we use it or do we need to use the pitcher type filtering system. Thank you for responding to my questions.

It is much more important to obtain all of the natural minerals in water than to avoid it even though there may be contaminants.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I have had experience with a Britta pitcher. The water poured into it just flows over the edge of it! Just use the filter that attaches onto the spout! Good luck.

The water takes time to go through, and it definitely goes through the filter, not around it. That's why you have to soak the filter for 15 minutes first, and then run a couple of pitchers of water through it so it gets rid of charcoal residues.
