Remember To Stay Hydrated This Summer

Monday, May 31st, 2010

With the summer season coming up around the corner, it’s time to think about preventing dehydration and heat-related illness.  318 Americans die every year of heat-related illnesses, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The sad fact is that most of these deaths are preventable, if the victims understood the realities of dehydration and heat-related illness more clearly.

Regular exercise, often done outdoors, is just as important during the hot months of summer as it is during the cooler seasons. Unfortunately outdoor activities often place people at serious risk of dehydration which can lead to other heat-related illnesses including heat exhaustion, heat stroke and, in severe cases, death.

Fortunately, New Wave Enviro can help you stay hydrated and healthy during the hot summer months.  The Seriously Safe Stainless Steel Drinking Water Bottles are perfect for any active person who needs their water to go.  Its steel construction renders it virtually indestructible; perfect for those with active lifestyles.

ADHD linked to Pesticides

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

A recent study by Harvard researchers found a link between Pesticides and ADHD among children.  The dangers associated with pesticide exposure has been known for a while, as advocates for organically grown food have already released a list of fruits and vegetables that consumers should avoid due to their pesticide scores.  

The argument in favor of the use of pesticides has always been that, whatever their devastating effects at high doses, general exposure through the environment was far too low to do any harm.  However, BPA was once thought to only affect people at high doses.   Of course, consumers are now aware that low-level exposure to supposedly non-toxic doses of BPA indeed lead to health problems.  Researchers from Harvard University report in the Journal of Pediatrics that low-level exposure to pesticides may significantly increase the risk of ADHD in children.

Industrial agriculture continues to drop tens of millions of pounds of pesticides on fields across the country every year.  It’s no surprise that the residue from these pesticides ends up in drainage systems and, subsequently, in our water supplies.

Thankfully, The New Wave Enviro 10 Stage Premium Water Filter effectively removes up to 99.99% of herbicides and pesticides.  Take initiative now in order to keep you and your loved ones safe from contaminated drinking water.  Visit www.newwaveenviro.com to learn more about the benefits of the 10 Stage Filter.

Fresh Water Crisis

Monday, May 24th, 2010

According to the United Nations, water use has grown at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century. By 2025, an estimated two-thirds of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed regions as a result of use, growth, and climate change.

While the amount of available water has remained fairly constant over the past few centuries, the population has exploded. And with an accelerating population comes further pollution and consumption of vital resources.  Competition intensifies as the world population competes for a dwindling supply of clean, fresh water to drink and bathe in. Not only does water become more scarce, but more filled with contaminants as well.

New Wave is taking action by providing consumers with the means to acquire purified water.  With such products as the Fresh Water Works Water Filter, which makes 1500 Gallons of fresh, great-tasting water, your family won’t have to worry about the cleanliness of your water supply.  How’s that for some added stress relief?

The Premium 10 Stage Drinking Water Filter: Remove Harmful Contaminants From Your Drinking Water

Monday, May 17th, 2010

According to a Gallup poll released in 2009, pollution of drinking water is Americans’ No. 1 environmental concern. Many express worries about the risk of diseases, including cancer, that can be associated with contaminants such as arsenic and chlorine, which are often found in drinking water.  The Environmental Protection Agency adds that a home water-treatment unit can improve water’s taste, and provide an extra margin of safety for people more vulnerable to the effects of waterborne illness such as infants, the elderly or those with compromised immune systems. The EPA sets standards for about 90 contaminants that can end up in drinking water supplies—from micro-organisms to herbicides and discharge from industrial-chemical factories.

New Wave Enviro’s Premium 10 Stage Drinking Water Filter removes contaminants by bonding the contaminants with the media inside the filter. The filter removes or greatly reduces contaminants such as chlorine, cancer causing compounds, bad odors, pesticides, herbicides, PCB’s, lead, cadmium, organic arsenic, asbestos, micro-organisms such as cryptosporidium and giardia, and dozens of other lesser known organic contaminants, many of which are tested for by the EPA and Environmental Working Group.

This countertop water filter lasts three times as long as the common carbon block filters and removes up to 1,500 gallons of water versus 500 for the common filters. Plus, New Wave Enviro will send you a friendly reminder card each year so you’ll never have to worry about forgetting to replace the filter.

Recent Customer Reviews on New Wave’s Premium Shower Filter

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Thank you so much!  We always appreciate comments like these!

I needed a Shower Filtration System as my Skin is very Dry and Ichy. After searching and reading the details of each Product carefully I saw this Product at a Great Price which I bought.  The Product arrived quickly and after reading the instructions it was easy to install quickly. I noticed the very first time I used it how great the water through the filter felt on me and afterwards how great my skin felt. I’m very Glad I Purchased this New Wave Enviro Shower Filter and reccommend it to anyone with Dry Ichy Skin.

USED IT ONCE AND SHOCKED AT THE DIFFERENCE AS I TYPICALLY USE IMMENCE AMOUNTS OF MOISTURIZERS AFTER SHOWERING BUT SKIPPED THEM TO SEE IF IT WORKED.  ALSO, MY HAIR IS SO SILKY AND MY SKIN FEELS SO NORMAL. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT AND WILL CONTINUE TO USE IT.

I have used this filter for over FOUR years now, and I love it! The chlorine smell disappears immediately. I noticed a tangible difference in my skin and hair within a month; especially my hair.

I moved to an area in Tennessee where the chlorine content of the water has been increased due to continued construction. After two weeks of showering and shaving in the water I had dry and irritated eyes and skin. The smell of the water is very reminiscent of being in a pool! After installing the [New Wave] Enviro Filter, the smell has subsided and the quality of my skin, eyes, and hair have increased dramatically.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada have issued a voluntary recall of 1.2 million Sport Cap 2.0 water bottle spouts in the U.S. and 100,200 in Canada.  The water bottle spouts can break or crack, posing a choking hazard to children and adults.  The company has received six reports of spouts breaking or cracking in children’s mouths.

Dechlorinate your Bathwater: The Splish Splash Bathtub Filter

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

New studies have shown some startling facts about the harmful effects of chlorinated tap water on your body.  The American Journal of Epidemiology reported a study suggesting that areas with higher levels of chlorine in drinking water almost doubles the risk of bladder cancer.  The THMs produced by chlorinated water have been found to cause cancer.  People who regularly bathed in chlorinated water had an increased risk of bladder cancer by 83%.  It was found that absorbing chlorine through the skin is more dangerous than drinking tap water because absorption bypasses the liver which filters out some of the harmful contaminants.  It is essential to filter your bathing water as well as your drinking water to fully protect yourself and your family from the harmful effects of chlorine in tap water.

The solution to removing chlorine from bath water is the Splish Splash Bathtub Filter from New Wave Enviro.  Not only will the filter remove the harmful chlorine from water in just minutes, it will give you softer skin and hair.  De-chlorinated water improves lathering and sudsing, maximizing the effectiveness of your favorite bath products.  Splish Splash is also non-toxic and safe for humans and pets and lasts about 200 baths.
