Countertop Water System W EF – 10™

Water is the most important ingredient in life; the value of water to our health is one of the most fundamental aspects of medical science. More than 70% of our bodies consist of water, and the functions in our bodies are designed to run on water that is rich with the earth's natural mineral resources, not water laced with toxins. The last century has revealed a great increase in the number of toxic chemicals in our water supply. A recent Ralph Nader report revealed that over 2,100 cancer causing chemicals have been found in U.S. drinking water.

Q & A

Q: If the countertop system is rated at 5,000 gallons, how do I know when the filter should be replaced? What criteria was used to determine these capacities? Is a flow meter available?

A: The countertop was certified at 5,000 gallons. The testing protocol required units making health claims to successfully perform to 200% of their rated capacity. In other words, we tested to 10,000 gallons to get a 5,000 gallon claim. Totalizing flow meters, which show the number of gallons processed, are very expensive, so instead we recommend that the entire WES-10 unit be replaced every 3 to 5 years.

Q: Does the countertop system filter mercury?

A: The Countertop System WES-10 is effective at reducing levels of mercury and cadmium as well as lead. This is due to their similarity with regards to the periodic table.
