Involuntary Manslaughter Charges Brought in Flint

Posted by: Rhona Reid On June 20, 2017 7:00 am

It’s been quite the week in Flint.  Dressed in custom-made gowns and bright, sharp suits, excited seniors of Flint Northwestern High School rode charter buses into Detroit for their prom.  At almost the same time, the news began to emerge that Nick Lyon, Michigan’s health chief, was to be charged with involuntary manslaughter, along with four other officials.

Flint deserves justice.
Conspiracy of Silence?

Failure to tell residents in Flint that the water flowing into their homes was contaminated with legionella is one of the accusations the defendant’s face.  Twelve people died as a result, and 100 people in total contracted the disease.  Officials knew for months about the outbreak, but kept silent.

Is Kangen Water the Only True Ionized Alkaline Water?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On June 8, 2017 12:00 pm

 
Well, is it?  Of course not!  That’s a little like asking if Chanel No. 5 is the only perfume. One of the first fragrances to gain international recognition and celebrity endorsement (Marilyn Monroe was a fan) — even the iconic No. 5 cannot claim to be the only true perfume out there.  By the same token, Kangen Water is not the only ionized alkaline water!

The original is not always the best.
A Brief History of Water Ionizers

Originating from Japan, Kangen ionizers were among the first domestic water ionizers to become widely available.  Back then, there was little to no competition in the field.  Now?  It’s a very different story.

Are There Any Dangers with Alkaline Ionizers?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On May 30, 2017 7:00 am

 
Big question.  The answer?  Well it depends on your ionizer, your source water and how the two work together.

Are there any dangers you should know about?
Source Water Worries

Let’s look at source water first.  Is your water contaminated by herbicides, pesticides, chemicals or even worse – lead?  The harsh truth is if you buy a water ionizer that doesn’t filter your source water properly, it can be dangerous.  The reason?  Well, some machines will process the water and produce alkaline water with a higher concentration of contaminants than the original source water.

Not good news at all.

What’s in the Water?

There’s also the “unknown” to factor in.  Pharmaceutical companies are producing ever-more complex medicinal compounds.  As …

Water Ionizers and the Water Crisis in America

Posted by: Rhona Reid On May 18, 2017 12:00 pm

 
During the last few days, the New-York based Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) published a report regarding water violations across the nation, and uncovered some chilling truths.

water pollution in the news
I read the news today, oh boy…

The coast-to-coast study identified that an astonishing 1 in 4 households may not be drinking safe water.  That’s a shocking 77 million people at risk.

Looking the Other Way?

And you know what’s just as scary?  No-one’s fixing it.  Underfunded, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is virtually toothless.  A lack of meaningful penalties and enforcement means that violations – including arsenic and nitrate contamination – go unchecked. 

“America is facing a nationwide drinking water crisis that goes well beyond lead contamination.  The problem is two-fold:

Ditch the Soda – Water Ionizers are Naturally Good for You!

Posted by: Rhona Reid On May 4, 2017 12:00 pm

 
It hasn’t been a great couple of months to be in the soda industry.  On 20th April this year a report was published by the America Stroke Association that appeared to draw a link between the consumption of artificially sweetened “diet” soda and the risk of suffering a stroke or dementia.  A further report from Beverage Marketing Corps pointed to the fact that Americans now officially drink more bottled water than soda.

We’ve woken up and started ditching the sugar.

Find Out Why Water Ionizer Plates are so Important!

Posted by: Rhona Reid On April 20, 2017 12:00 pm

 
Water ionizer plates are actually really fascinating to learn about.  Whether your interest is mechanical, health-driven or aesthetic, ionizer plates are pretty fascinating things!

Ionization happens when water passes over the plates.  But not like this.
Why are Water Ionizer Plates so Important?

A water ionizer often rises or falls on a few key elements.  One of those factors is the quality of its plates.

The electrically charged plates in an ionizer are a vital component in the ionization process.  The filtered water flows over them in the electrolysis chamber enabling positive and negative electrical charges to pass through the liquid creating acidic and alkaline water.

The plates in a Tyent ionizer are something very special.  We know …
