Water as an Antioxidant?
During our research we discovered that some spring waters exhibited a mild antioxidant effect on the animals and people drinking it. We found that these mountain spring waters contained natural negative ions - nature's own primal antioxidant.
"The water produced from the [Wellness] filter has many proven attributes that give us a significant edge over other competitive filters. ... cleaning, cooking, plant growth, odour control etc... We know these features exist from our own testing and many customer testimonials..."

The negative ions were being produced as the water flowed down rapids and water falls. In particular we found that high levels of negative ions were generated when water flowed over rocks that were emitting higher than usual far-infrared (FIR) energies.
Far-Infrared Energy
Many studies have shown the powerful effect negative ions can have on health and wellbeing, particularly in relation to fighting free radicals and reducing oxidative stress on the body. In clinical settings FIR has been shown to;
- Accelerate the growth of plants
- Regulate blood pressure
- Alleviate chronic pain
- Purge cellular toxins
- Increasing metabolism
Because the hydrogen bonds of water vibrate in the far-infrared (FIR) spectrum - the FIR being emitted by the rocks was, via a process known as 'resonance', exciting water to produce negative ions.
Clearly, to create the best water possible we needed to incorporate far-infrared energy into our filter. So we set out to find the most powerful natural sources of FIR we could.
Cellular Water - SGES Tenko-Seki™
It was in Japan where we discovered SGES Tenko-Seki, an extremely rare and powerful far-infrared volcanic mineral.
Tenko-Seki - in Japanese it means 'the stone that fell from heaven' - is used in select health spas for advanced cellular detoxification.
The far-infrared wavelength of Tenko-Seki has been shown to;
- Increase water affinity for cells
- Improving cellular hydration
- Create negative ions in water
- Reduce the cluster size of water - making water 'wetter'
Dr. Serge Jurasunus, a highly respected natural health specialist, has tested Tenko-Seki on a number of patients and concluded;
"Tenko-Seki far infrared rays shorten the cluster chain of water... increases specific gravity and hence water adherence to cell surfaces... [Tenko-Seki] is active at the cellular level - the body's ultimate defence system."

Here Dr. Jurasunus was referring to Tenko-Seki in a detoxification Energy Sand Bath.
Breakthrough - Natural Ionisation
In order to recreate the powerful ionising effect generated by waterfalls hundreds of metres high and kilometres of infra-red emitting river beds inside a small water filter we needed to do something unique.
By layering Tenko-Seki between the magnetic field created by Magnetite and the powerful ceramic magnets contained within, we significantly increased the far-infrared ionizing power of Tenko-Seki.
As a result the water produced by this unique process has an abundance of healthy, naturally produced negative ions.
"SGES Tenko Seki is active at the cellular level - the body's ultimate defence system. It has a strong capacity to inhibit lipid peroxides. Many diseases show high lipid peroxide levels, including XXXXX. SGES can deactivate lipid peroxides, at the same time acting like an XXXXXX, to protect cell membranes against XXXXX... When using SGES and SOD (Super-Peroxide Dismutase) together, it increases SOD activity and can protect and heal patients faster."

As far as we know, no other water filter or ionizer company has ever come close to understanding what makes our LivingWater process so special. Let alone being able to reproduce its unique effects.
Once we have ionised water naturally the final step is 'enhancement'.
