Healthy Home
Drinking alkaline water is the simplest thing that you can do to improve your health. Now with the alkaline jug filter it is possible for you to have all of the health benefits of alkaline, antioxidant, mineral-rich, clean water without the cost of electrical or plumbing connections.
The Alkaline Antioxidant Jug filters and ionises yourtap water, turning it into mineral rich health promoting alkaline water, with antioxidant properties. The alkaline antioxidant filter jug uses a new generation of special natural ceramics that affects the water as it flows through it. Filtration through the filter changes the water that passes through it in five different ways:
- It increases the pH of tap water from around 5.5 (acidic) to between 8.5 and 9.5.
- It changes the oxidation/reduction potential of the water (ORP) to between -100mV and -250mV. UK tap water is typically in the order of 250 to 400mV. This gives the water antioxidant properties.
- It reduces the size of the clusters of water molecules so that the water is more easily absorbed in the body.
- It puts beneficial alkaline minerals such as potassium, magnesium and calcium into the water
It removes heavy metals, such as lead and copper in addition to chlorine and dissolved organics such as pesticides.
This clean, clear health-promoting water can then be used daily for tea, coffee, cooking and for drinking water.
The Alkaline Jug Filter is similar in appearance to most commonly used jug filters but in operation it is quite different. The jug has a capacity of 1.8 litres of filtered water, and is suitable to fit most refrigerator doors.

Drinking alkaline water is the simplest thing that you can do to improve your health. The Alkaline, Antioxidant Water Filter Jug is the new way of providing alkaline, antioxidant, mineral-rich, clean water without the need for electrical or plumbing connections.
These are the refill filter cartridges for use in the Alkaline, Antioxidant Water Filter Jug. Each filter contains:
- Coarse particle pre filter to stop visible particles from entering the filter bed.
- Fine polypropylene mesh pre-filter to prevent any small particles or sediment from entering into the filter media and clogging the filter media.
- Activated carbon granules to absorb Chlorine and organic compounds such as Benzene (if present in your water).
- Ion Exchange resins to attract and hold heavy metal contaminants such as lead, copper, and cadmium.
- Antioxidant balls: decrease the Oxygen Reduction Potential of the water and make it antioxidant water.
- Alkaline balls: release magnesium and calcium ions into the water increasing the alkalinity and enriching the mineral content of the water.
- Final poly propylene fine filtration to stop fine particles that may have come through previous filtration steps.
Each alkaline filter cartridge will last for approx 6 to10 weeks (150+ litres of filtered water) before requiring replacement. In areas of very hard water, the filter may need replacing a little more frequently.

In a CDC study, PFOA was detected in close to 98% of the population. Research also detected PFOA in 100% of the newborns examined.
Though not necessarily related to PFOA, non-stick cookware has already been implicated in increased instances of cancer in the pancreas, liver, testicles, and mammary glands, as well as miscarriages, thyroid problems, weakened immune systems, and low organ weights.
So, we'd recommend being very careful about regular use of non-stick cookware. If you haven't already done it, it could be time to throw it out.
This ceramic cookware set does not contain Teflon or any other non-stick brand using PFOA. The benefits of it are:
Non-reactive -- no chemicals, toxins, or gases are produced while cooking
Resists carry-over tastes and odors -- even highly acidic foods (like tomatoes) will not stain your cookware surface or be absorbed into other foods.
Produces a far-infrared heating process -- a penetrating heat process that cooks your food from both the inside and outside at the same time.
Contains no lead, cadmium, aluminum, copper, nickel, chromium, iron, or any other heavy metals.
No trace metals or chemical leaching from the cooking surface, both potentially affecting taste and your health.
Is dishwasher safe.
Lightweight - so much easier to handle than enamelled cast-iron pans.
What about aluminium and stainless steel pans ?
Aluminum is a causal factor suspect in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aluminum is a "reactive" metal, meaning that it reacts with salty or acidic foods to release itself into your food. Dietary sources of aluminum include cookware, containers, foil, and utensils. You can also face exposure to aluminum when the non-stick surface chips off a coated aluminum pan.
Stainless steel is not a completely inert metal either. All stainless steel has alloys containing nickel, chromium, molybdenum, carbon, and various other metals. In a study conducted on heart patients receiving stainless steel stents, restenosis occurred in 50% of patients. Allergies to the nickel and molybdenum in the stainless steel were suspected causal factors.
While this study is clearly not cooking-related, it is certainly possible that cooking with stainless steel, clad or not, may increase the likelihood that metals will leach into your food. This is especially true if the cookware becomes pitted due to extended use or storage of acidic foods. For those with nickel allergies, it could be a particularly concerning problem.
Once you realize the potential risks of that aluminum and stainless steel are reactive, and that copper may be risky as well, isn't it time you switched to the best non-toxic cookware we've found to date -- Mercola Ceramcor Cookware?
This unique ceramic cookware is extremely durable for the following reasons:.
Made of lightweight ceramic 100% inorganic materials -- this innovative non-reactive material is the key element in cookware longevity
You can't scratch the cooking surface -- even when cooking with metal utensils and cleaning with industrial steel wool
You don't have to be concerned about damage due to meltdown of the cookware -- helps reduce risk of stove damage and fire
Cookware can withstand very high temperatures (2700° F) -- steel melts at 2200° F
Cookware surface will never flake off into your food
Cleaning is easy -- making it more likely that your cookware lasts a lifetime
The set consists of:
16cm open skillet with handle (1 piece)
25cm skillet/Braiser with short handles and cover (2 pieces)
1.4 litre saucepan with cover (2 pieces)
4 litre sauce pot with cover (2 pieces)
19cm silicone trivet (1 piece)
Silicone pot holders (2 pieces)
Kitchen tool set (6 pieces)
Ideal for replacing your potentially toxic metallic cookware or an ideal gift for anyone starting a new home.
