1 A better future Tap water redefined

2 Benefit of Bluewater Our body is around 70% water, our brain is 90% water. So it clearly makes sense to make the most of the water we consume to stay well, battle fatigue, flush out toxins, improve complexion and boost immune systems. Water is vital to our health and wellbeing. Yet, critically, many projections by institutions such as the International Food Policy Research Institute warn that the world is facing rapidly deteriorating water quality that will increase risks to human health. Data in 2015 from NASA reveals how the world is running out of water as the world s largest aquifers are being depleted at alarming rates. The unavoidable truth is that there is not an infinite supply of water. If quality is deteriorating, then increasingly we must take greater individual responsibility to assure our drinking water is safe and healthy to consume. And does not force us to use highly costly solutions like bottled water delivered in plastic that also endanger our planet s fragile environment. Bluewater s lineup of super efficient resident water purifiers encompasses (left to right), the Cleone, Spirit and Pro, all geared to remove contaminants from tap water that can endanger health or impair taste. Bluewater s leading-edge technologies remove over 99% of most known pollutants from tap water, including micro-organisms, pesticides, heavy metals and other toxins that threaten human health and impact taste. Our water purifiers have been engineered to deliver unmatched premium filtration, high flow capacity and direct flow with no need for a tank all from a compact, great looking design. Our unique water purifiers and filtration systems are designed to limit waste water to extremely low levels, while our Pro model even turns brackish water into great tasting drinking water. Bluewater s premium water purifiers are innovated with love in Sweden to help deliver enhanced health, wellness and peace of mind at home and in working or business environments. 2 3

3 What s really in our tap water? M Filter or Purify? any of us take the safety of our tap water for granted. But what s really flowing from our faucets? Hardly a month goes by without a news report somewhere detailing how bacteria, pharmaceutical residues such as antibiotics and hormones, nitrates, toxic metals and other contaminants can be found in tap water. The U.S. Water Quality Association (WQA) says water that leaves the treatment facility can become contaminated by the time it shows up at your tap. The WQA view is supported by Consumer Reports that says dangerous contaminants such as lead, chloroform, arsenic, nitrate, nitrite, radon, and E. coli bacteria are common in tap water. Public water management authorities do a good job of treating water destined for residential or commercial kitchens. Yet most use chlorine or similar to disinfect water of bacteria and parasites and chlorine not only tastes bad, but is also poisonous in large amounts. Most of the world s municipal water treatment plants are simply not geared to remove all chemical and pharmaceutical residues. But ordinary citizens can help protect themselves by using Bluewater s innovative reverse osmosis technologies. Germs are not the only problem. Lots of other nasty stuff can get into the water during its journey from the municipal works to the tap. WHO says just one-third of the world s fresh water can be used for human needs due to increased pollution from municipal and industrial waste and the leaching of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture. Bluewater turns tap water into healthier, better tasting drinking water by removing the following contaminants: Aging municipal water pipes are a serious issue. In the USA, as much as 30 percent of pipes in systems that deliver water to over 100,000 people are between 40 to 80 years old, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). And about 10 percent are even older. Toxins Pesticides and insecticides are leeched into our water environments despite the best efforts of the agriculture industry, which uses over 70 percent of all the fresh water on the planet. Bacteria and Viruses WHO says 1.6 million people die every year from diarrhearelated diseases caused by drinking unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation giving free reign to hazardous microbes and bacteria. Toxic Metals Lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic accumulate in ground water and our bodies, with potentially fatal consequences. Nitrite exposure (usually found where water has been polluted by fertilizers) can cause blue baby syndrome in infants, which may spark heart problems leading to death. Smells Organic or non-organic compounds can cause unpleasant tasting water. 4 Consumers wary of drinking tap water are faced with a real dilemma when it comes to choosing between filtering what comes out of their kitchen taps or purifying it. Many consumers believe they are making a healthier choice by choosing to filter their tap water using countertop pitchers with replaceable filter cartridges or buy bottled water. Yet, few people question the fact that most pitcher filter solutions do not remove contamination like lead, pesticide or pharmaceutical residues, bacteria or viruses. Nor do they query the inflated cost of bottled water, some of which comes from municipal water works anyway. Slashing Water Wastage A complaint regularly thrown at reverse osmosis technology is that it wastes water. Bluewater s patented second-generation SuperiorOsmosis technology uses 82% less water than a traditional RO water purifier to flush out contaminants, which is good for environments where fresh water is in short supply. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with countertop or faucet water filters. However, such filters for the most part do not match the efficiency of reverse osmosis solutions that are designed to remove contaminants, including viruses, bacteria, pesticides, fluoride and different drugs and chemicals, to deliver really clean water as and when you want it. At the end of the day, understanding the difference between water filtration and water purification is the big step towards being able to make an informed choice for a healthier lifestyle, not to mention better tasting coffee or tea. 5

4 Bluewater SuperiorOsmosis TM A super-efficient approach to purifying tap water Reverse osmosis is widely considered the most effective method of purifying water due to the purification processes that remove virtually all pollutants including micro-organisms, pesticides, heavy metals and toxins leaving safer, purer water. Reverse osmosis technology purifies water by forcing untreated water through a semi-permeable filter or membrane. The membrane blocks chemical, and other contaminants as well as bad odors and tastes. The filter captures everything nasty down to micron (that s around 500,000 times less than the diameter of a human hair). Traditionally, a drawback to reverse osmosis filters is that they frequently use more water technology also ensures on-demand direct flow straight from the water mains to flush away the contamination filtered out than they provide for drinking, which is frankly wasteful. However, Bluewater offers a superior, patented second-generation reverse osmosis solution that gets rid of unwanted contaminants, but doesn t waste water at the same rate as more traditional solutions. Bluewater SuperiorOsmosis. At Pumppulohja, we ve been working since 1995 with RO filters. We started working with Bluewater in early We ve used Pro purifiers for installations where brackish water needs to be turned into excellent drinking water. And it s rewarding to meet very satisfied customers grateful for Bluewater s simple, well thought through technical solutions.
