Velaqua Alkaline Water System (Black Unit) VelWater.com offers Velaqua the revolutionary portable water enrichment system that duplicates nature's water purification and filtration process using gravity instead of electricity, chemicals or other artificial methods. Water keeps us alive. Our body is composed of 70% to 80% of water. Water regulates the temperature of our body and also aids in the proper digestion of the food we eat. Toxins in our body are being washed out by water and it replenishes the required fluid the body needs. Drinking the right quality of water will make us healthier. Drinking alkaline antioxidant water will bring us excellent health. Nature once provided us with clean water from flowing sources such as rivers, springs, rushing brooks and streams. Today, water and air pollutants have contaminated our Earth's water beyond our ability to cleanse it. More than 80,000 chemicals are registered for use in the U.S., with 2,000 being added annually, many will find their way into our water supply. The government regulates only 91 contaminants. Normal tap water is considered to be drinkable, until one realizes the chemicals that have been added to it. Further inland, the source quickly becomes acidic, registering as low as 5.8 on the pH scale. A human body needs to be at 7.2 on the pH scale to achieve a perfect state of balance and health. An acidic state below 7.2 may result in many health risks and complications. Carbonated soft drinks are among the most acidic beverages you can put in your body. These have an average pH of 2.5 or lower. Combined with artificial colors, sugar substitutes and other chemicals, they are among the most toxic beverages in our diet. Bottled water companies harvest water from scarce ground sources. In many cases, the water is still filled with harmful pollutants and contaminants, not to mention that most plastic bottles are not recyclable and are choking our Earth. Nature's way of purifying water that falls into the ground is long and tedious as it seeps and trickles along the Earth's layers of natural rocks and soil. It is then slowly filtered and infused with health enhancing minerals and when it bursts to the surface in the form of a mountain spring it is fresh, pure, healthy and delicious. In some places the water even has alkaline and ionizing properties. The Water Cycle or Hydrological Cycle shows water from rain or snow seeping into the mountain and then into lakes or mountain springs. This natural process may take months, even years, Velaqua delivers the same results in merely a few hours as it recreates the journey similar to Nature; creating natural mountain spring water in one portable countertop system.
