I heard somebody complaining the other day about how horrible his water tasted - this was on a hot day during an intense activity we all had been doing - around many who had been wanting water, expressing this as their first complaint. Can you relate?
Needless to say this was a younger kid saying his water tasted horrible(which kids do you know who complain about taste of water? And his father felt same way after tasting it). I saw the Poland spring plastic bottle and though it was on ice -- the containers previously had been sitting in the hot sun...making it worse, and here's why...
I heard from a friend working in with manufacturing companies from his work experience in bottling plants - where they make the plastic bottles to contain such beverages...
He shared how the plastic needs a certain time to be cooled properly so the chemicals aren't leeched into the water - after it is melted into the bottle shape.
Problem is this need isn't met during company time for manufacturing - so many don't wish to wait and simply add water to bottle to shortcut the process...releasing chemicals into your supposed to be flavorless beverage (and all others in plastic bottles...think of how many are consumed by us).
Now not to mention the water is of no special quality for many companies ... see further in graphic below.
Glass bottle's water quality is often of low (normal) quality or nothing special - so for those healthy on other areas of life, why not perfect our water drinking habits?
Drinking water actually increases the amount of calories you burn during the day, and studies indicate it may help reduce fat deposits. So even if you can’t fit in a daily workout, make sure you at least fit in an extra glass of water!
It's like eating lettuce when your using a salad for most nutrients - dark leafy greens...kale, spinach..romaine & so on offer more benefits...to each is own but here are two companies doing great things with water...
Perfect Water - The first thing is our 15 step proprietary filtration and purification process to take out all harmful bacteria and chemicals. Once we have taken out the bad, we begin the perfection process ! We add some healthy minerals and electrolytes, alkalize the water, microstructure it, and then add our MBO®. How is Perfect Empowered Drinking Water different from other bottled waters?
With so many premium bottled waters on the market today, it's hard to distinguish one from the next. Perfect Empowered Drinking Water makes it easier to do just that. Some drinking waters purify to some small degree and do nothing else to the water. Listed here are a few of the differences:
No other bottled water goes through the same proprietary purification 15-step process. We clean the water to approximately 0 TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) in the water, taking out all harmful chemicals and bacteria. The purification processes that are used remove all measurable fluoride. its fluoride free.
In addition we re-mineralize adding electrolytes along with some trace minerals - all good things the body needs!
Perfect Water is alkaline water. We test every batch and it is between 8.0-9.0 on the pH scale. However, pH is sensitive and can be affected by such things as temperature and agitation. For this reason, we have not put the exact pH number on the bottle. Perfect Water pH should be 7+ in almost all situations while testing with an accurate pH meter. We have microstructured the water for efficient hydration.
We have added MBO® which is a proprietary blend of added oxygen molecules and a few other elements that make the water unique - water which is now able to pass into the cells of the body more easily and actually tastes smoother.
Perfect Empowered Drinking Water is a PETE1 bottle (Polyethylene Terephthalate), not Poly Carbonate, and contain no BPA.. PETE1 is recommended by the FDA for water and juices and is recognized as the most common and easily recycled plastic. It is also safe in that it does not contain the harmful BPA chemicals which have been in the news about some other plastics leaching chemicals.
Also comes in several flavors for those desiring more taste to this technique!
We have researched and created what we think to be the Perfect Water. Try it and you be the judge.

Drink water every day - or want to drink more? It makes sense to learn about it... here what this company shares in...
The eSpring Water Purifier improves the taste, odor, and clarity of up to 1,320 gallons of water, enough for a family of six to cook and drink with, for one year. Independent third-party testing has shown that the carbon-block filter effectively reduces more than 140 potential health-effect impurities – like pesticides, VOCs, mercury, and lead – yet allows beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium to pass through. The UV bulb destroys up to 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses, and 99.95% of cysts in drinking water without the use of chemicals. eSpring also effectively reduces pharmaceuticals Atenolol and Ethinyl Estradiol (17-alpha ethynyl estradiol).
The eSpring Water Purifier is certified by NSF International(NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 55B) and has earned the Gold Seal from the Water Quality Association.
One of eSpring’s many patented innovations is its eCoupled Wireless Power, which ingeniously powers the system’s ultraviolet lamp without direct electrical contact - only turning on when you turn on the tap, so water is cool and not warmed.
The system provides cleaner, clearer, better tasting #water right from your tap, it's independently verified & certified by the NSF and backed by more than 25 years of research and patented technology.
Before eSpring launched, engineers put the unit through 800,000 hours of thorough testing.
eSpring filters have only seven parts, including the power cord. And that one simple #design works in each of the 44 countries and territories around the globe where they are sold.
“Instant-On” technology. A sensor triggers the system’s contaminant-destroying UV lamp only when #water is flowing. That saves you energy and doesn't change your tap temperature!
In one year, your eSpring cartridge filters about 5,000 liters of water, or 1,320 gallons. That is the equivalent of 10,000 plastic water bottles. Something to think about...
Did you know some organic chemicals, like pesticides and disinfection byproducts, mix with water so you can’t see, taste or smell them? Don’t worry, your eSpring system detects them and removes them.
Both units feature patented carbon-filter technology, which means that both units effectively reduce:
- Impurities such as mercury, lead, MTBE, and more than 40 endocrine disruptors.
- More than 140 organic impurities.
- More than 13 disinfection byproducts.
- Radon and radon decay byproducts.
- Thirty pesticides and pesticide byproducts.
- Two pharmaceutical impurities (1,7 alpha-Ethinyl Estradiol ((EE2)) and Atenolol).
eSpring will remove more than 140 potential health-affecting contaminants from your water and destroys more than 99.99% of potential disease-causing bacteria and viruses - it destroys waterborne disease-causing such bacteria and viruses as well as suspected carcinogens known to exist. City water is even worse and is often treated with chlorine, leaving an unpleasant taste and smell. e-Spring effectively and immediately reduces chlorine, improving the water’s taste and smell!
“Turbidity” is the cloudiness of a liquid caused by particles that you can’t see, a lot like smoky air. eSpring’s patented carbon filter technology effectively removes particles as small as 0.2 microns. (For comparison, the diameter of a human hair is about 75 microns!)
It removes things like asbestos, dirt, sediment and scale, while preserving beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium.That IS a good feeling!
Of all the water in the world, only 2.5% of it is fresh? And most of that is either frozen in polar icecaps (which can be anywhere from hundreds to many thousands of years old) or is underground and too expensive to access. Less than 1% of the world’s fresh water is available for humans.
90% of the cost of #bottledwater is due to the bottle itself, and 80% of those bottles never get recycled. Skip the bottled water and pack your own!
These powerful filters can be used for washing vegetables and fruits among drinking / preparing foods and mixed beverages....such filters are designed to last for 1 year or 5000 liters, whichever comes first Changing the cartridge is simple, requiring no special tools (I'll even do it for you - distance considered).
- Cost-effective: The cost per gallon in the second year is 16 cents.
- Comes with a three-year warranty. And a refund within 120 days of your purchase if you're not completely and utterly satisfied.
