How Clean is your Drinking Water?
Drinking water quality has a direct impact on our well-being since 70% of our body consists of H2O. Water plays a vital role in virtually all bodily functions; especially in:
- Detoxifying the body
- Lubricating joints of the skeletal system
- Supporting the digestive system
- Regulating body temperature
- Delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells
Are we unknowingly drinking contaminated water? Contaminated water doesn’t always look murky. In fact, many contaminants lurk within seemingly crystal-clear water.
After running 10min with an Electroliser. Electroliser is use to make the unseen par
On the left is a glass of water from Elken's Ken Bio Sigma
and on the right is an everyday use tap water.
Clearly, the tap water is now contaminated with virus, bacteria, rust and other unseen particle that cause
many diseases including CANSER!
Many of us don't realize that WE are having a big trouble on our health. Maybe today we feel healthy, how about on the next 2, 5 or 10 years later? Think about it..

Contaminants are often broken into different categories, or types, as seen below:
- Biological contaminants include "living organisms" such as bacteria, virus, cysts, etc. These are responsible for millions of deaths each year.
- Organic contaminants include pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, pharmaceuticals, etc. and are found in water all over the world. They can cause, among other things, endocrine system disruption, cancer and death.
- Inorganic contaminants include dissolved solids such as nitrates, nitrites, asbestos, calcium, magnesium, etc. plus dissolved metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, copper, etc.
- Chlorine/Disinfection By-Products, also known as DBPs, include such things as Trihalomethanes and Bromides. Dozens of these compounds have been recently identified and are considered carcinogenic.
- Aesthetic contaminants are those considered to be non-health threatening, in and of themselves, and include things like taste, odour, colour, etc.

Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a common treatment technology that produces high quality water. Pressure forces water against a semi-permeable membrane to purify water at a molecular level. RO typically incorporates a sediment filter and an activated carbon filter, which removes chlorine and reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
RO is effective against virtually all health and aesthetic contaminants. According to a recent investigative report by Associated Press, RO is one technology that removes virtually all pharmaceutical contaminants, which are among the most dangerous and stubborn contaminants today. Its high water purity is the reason why it is used throughout the food and beverage industries. R.O. membranes can differ in quality. The use of pumps in an R.O. system can increase the water pressure, thus helping the system to achieve the maximum efficiency. The virtual porosity of a good RO membrane/system is as small as 0.0001 microns.
Reverse osmosis removes:
- Biological contaminants such as Bacteria, Parasites and Viruses
- Organic contaminants such as Herbicides, Pesticides and Pharmaceuticals/Medication
- Inorganic contaminants such as Dirt, Sediment, Asbestos, Nitrates and Nitrites
- Total Dissolved Solids such as Calcium, Fluoride, Magnesium and Sodium
- Heavy Metals such as Arsenic, Copper, Lead and Cadmium
- Radioactive Ions like Radium and Strontium
- Disinfection By-Products such as Trihalomethanes
Boiling
Bringing water to a boil for at least 10 minutes is an effective method to kill most types of disease-causing organisms that often cause diarrhoea, fatigue, cramps and nausea when ingested. Although that does not remove them from your drinking water, it does kill them and ensure that they will not cause illnesses.
However, boiling water does not purify it as it does not provide any safeguard against other contaminants that enter our water supply, for instance heavy metals, pesticides or even lead from your piping system. Boiling water also has no effect on turbidity (cloudy water), foul tastes and odours. Water that has been boiled often tastes flat.
Boiling water kills:
- Most Biological contaminants such as Bacteria, Viruses and Parasites
Unless it is used in combination with other water treatment methods, boiling water does not kill/remove:
- Some Biological contaminants such as Cryptosporidium
- Organic contaminants such as Herbicides, Pesticides and Pharmaceuticals/Medication
- Inorganic contaminants such as Dirt, Sediment, Asbestos, Nitrates and Nitrites
- Total Dissolved Solids such as Calcium, Fluoride, Magnesium and Sodium
- Heavy Metals such as Arsenic, Copper, Lead and Cadmium
- Radioactive Ions like Radium and Strontium
- Disinfection By-Products such as Trihalomethanes
Activated Carbon
Activated carbon can come in granular or solid block form. Also known as GAC, this form of carbon has been processed to make it extremely porous with a very large surface area for ‘collecting’ organic molecules on its surface. Due to its high degree of micro-porosity, just one gram of quality activated carbon can have a surface area of approximately 2 tennis courts.
This is an inexpensive and well-established technology for the reduction of a wide range of aesthetic contaminants, and is quite effective in the reduction of some health contaminants, for example volatile organic compounds like benzene and other petroleum-based contaminants. However, it does not bind well to alcohol, strong acids, metals and most inorganic materials like iron and lead.
Activated carbon removes:
- Most Organic contaminants such as Herbicides and Pesticides
- Some Inorganic contaminants such as Dirt and Sediment
- Disinfection By-Products such as Trihalomethanes
It does not remove:
- Most Biological contaminants such as Viruses and Bacteria
- Inorganic contaminants such as Asbestos, Nitrates and Nitrites
- Some Organic contaminants such as Pharmaceutical Drugs/Medication
- Total Dissolved Solids such as Calcium, Fluoride, Magnesium and Sodium
- Heavy Metals such as Arsenic, Copper, Lead and Cadmium
- Radioactive Ions like Radium and Strontium
Filtration
Filtration operates to physically remove contaminants, thus their effectiveness depends greatly on the micron size of the filters.
a) Method: Particle Filtration (from 1 micron to 100 micron)
Cartridge-type filtration is used to remove sediment through the usage of a filter material:
Cartridge-type filtration is used to remove sediment through the usage of a filter material:
- Pleated impregnated cellulose (20 micron) - removes dirt, rust, scale and fine silt
- Pleated synthetic fabric (from 1.0 to 100 micron) - removes clay, fine silt and scale particles
- String-wound fiber (from 0.5 to 100 micron)- can remove coarse undissolved particulates to fine particulates depending on its micron size
- Bonded filter - can remove different particulates depending on fine, medium or coarse micron rating
b) Method: Microfiltration (from 0.2 to 5 micron)
Microfiltration uses a filter media to physically prevent biological contamination like protozoan cysts and bacteria (but does not remove viruses) from passing through. Ceramic and solid block carbon are commonly used to provide microfiltration.
Ceramic filters can often be cleaned and reused a few times before they lose effectiveness while carbon block media usually has to be disposed of after each use. However, carbon block provides additional treatment for certain health-related and aesthetic contaminants (see activated carbon section).
Please see ‘Contaminant Size Diagram’ to view what contaminants these filters can remove (depending on their micron size).
Elken's Ken Bio Sigma has the solution.
