The great thing about getting your LIFE Next Generation filters
from us is that we always give you the best price plus if your
order is over $100.00 and being shipped to a USA address
you get free shipping.
All the LIFE Ionizer Next Generation line of alkaline water
ionizers uses the same two replacement filters. The filters
incorporates the use of an all natural dechlorinating medium
that neutralizes chlorine & most chloramines from your drinking
water. With the LIFE Ionizer Vitamin C filter you get the best
of both worlds. Perfect chlorine removal PLUS any benefits that
may stem from being exposed to one of Earth's most powerful
antioxidants - Vitamin C! It's not only about what we take out
of your water, but how we do it that separates the LIFE Ionizer
filter from traditional filters.
In order for you to fully appreciate the benefits of utilizing
Vitamin C to dechlorinate your drinking water, you must first
understand the potential dangers related to Chloramine and
chlorine exposure. Chlorine is what we call a necessary evil. It
is needed to kill microbes in your water, but it so occurs that
we are also made up of microbes in our gut that do great things
for us. Chloramines is a more powerful form of chlorine being
used to deal with mode hard to kill microbes. The very presence
of these toxic chemicals in our public water supplies can be a
real threat to our well being and overall health if constantly
consumed.
Free chlorine, aka chlorine, is used the world over to disinfect
the public's water supplies. It is well documented that it has
the ability to seek out and destroy harmful disease causing
organisms and has provided us with a relatively safe water
supply. But chlorine also has a negative side that many have
experienced firsthand. Its ability to neutralize deadly
organisms in our drinking water also creates problems when we
expose ourselves to this toxic gas. Chlorine does not
distinguish between bad organisms and good ones, when we expose
ourselves to it then it continues to attack the healthy cells
within our bodies. This exposure to chlorine over a period of
time has generated health related cases, many of which have been
directly linked to the exposure to chlorine. For more
information on chlorine, click on read this article about
chlorine from our chlorine test kit page.
The antioxidant molecule of Vitamin C effectively converts a
free radical molecule of chlorine into a harmless chloride by
the process of a simple electron transfer. This stops the free
radicals found in chlorinated water from creating a chain
reaction when they come into contact with our skin.
The antioxidant Vitamin C makes itself available for
energetically favorable oxidation. Most oxidants such as the
hydroxyl radical (as seen with KDF), contain an unpaired
electron damaging to humans and plants at the molecular level
because they are highly reactive. This is due to their
interaction with proteins, lipids and nucleic acid. Reactive
oxygen species take electrons from (oxidize) Vitamin C first to
monodehydroascorbate and then dehydroascorbate. The oxidized
forms of Vitamin C are relatively stable and non reactive, and
do not cause cellular damage while the reactive oxygen species
are reduced to water.
