Remove Dangerous Fluoride & Arsenic From Right Inside Your Ionizer!

Fluoride and Arsenic in drinking water is a growing concern for many of us and AlkaViva has created a solution; the UltraWater Fluoride-Arsenic Shield. By using the newest cutting edge techniques, AlkaViva has created the first internal ionizer filter to reduce Fluoride and Arsenic to non-detectable levels in laboratory testing.

Features
Built upon almost two years of research and development, AlkaViva's exclusive and patented new UltraWater technology provides an environmentally sustainable way to create the cleanest and healthiest water available, any time any place. UltraWater technology is now available in breakthrough products that reduce virtually all contaminants in tap water to non-detectable levels.

Fluoride has long been difficult to remove from drinking water using traditional filters because the standard point of use fluoride filters require very slow flow rates, much too slow for an ionizer. AlkaViva's commitment to not only healthy, but clean and contaminant free water has lead us to new methods for reducing Fluoride and Arsenic that can be used effectively inside of an ionizer.

The UltraWater Fluoride-Arsenic Shield Filter will be placed in the filter #1 (left) position of your Vesta and was engineered to work perfectly with the filter #1 filter counter. Our internal UltraWater Fluoride-Arsenic shield is good for approx 500 gallons.

The AlkaViva UltraWater filter has taken our years of experience, knowledge, and expertise and combined technologies in a proprietary process to provide the ultimate protection from drinking water contaminants.

AlkaViva is proud to offer you the opportunity to take back your tap and use the most advanced ionizer filter available in our industry.

Only AlkaViva offers UltraWater Technology that removes most contaminants to nondetectable levels.

Dean's Bottom Line: This filter is an EXCELLENT addition to the internal UltraWater filters available for the two filter machines (Athena and Vesta). Allows you to remove fluoride and arsenic with an internal filter, rather than an external one.
How do I know when my filter needs to be replaced? This filter was made to be used in the filter #1 position of your Vesta (left housing door). The filter indicators on the front of the Vesta shows both filter life indicators... so you want to be looking at the filter #1 indicator. When the filter indicator reaches all 5 bars, and starts blinking, it's time to replace the filter. Make sure you are looking at the filter #1 filter life indicator, and not filter #2 filter life indicator. Also, remember to reset the filter life indicator once you install the new filter. Don't we need fluoride? No. It is now well established that fluoride is not an essential nutrient. This means that no human disease "“ including tooth decay "“ will result from a "deficiency" of fluoride. Fluoridating water supplies is therefore different than adding iodine to salt. Unlike fluoride, iodine is an essential nutrient (the body needs iodine to ensure the proper functioning of the thyroid gland). No such necessity exists for fluoride. Does fluoride occur naturally in water? As a general rule, the only fresh water with high levels of fluoride (other than waters polluted by fluoride-emitting industries) is water derived from deep wells. Rather than being something to celebrate, high levels of naturally occurring fluorides have wreaked havoc on tens of millions of people's health around the world. People consuming water with naturally high levels of fluoride have been found to suffer serious health ailments including disfiguring tooth damage, bone disease, ulcers, reduced IQ, thyroid disease, and infertility. Because of this, international organizations like UNICEF assist developing nations in finding ways of removing fluoride from the water. Thankfully, most fresh water supplies contain very low levels of fluoride. The average level of fluoride in unpolluted fresh water is less than 0.1 ppm, which is about 10 times less than the levels added to water in fluoridation programs (0.7 to 1.2 ppm). The frequent claim, therefore, that "nature thought of fluoridation first" does not withstand scrutiny. Where does the fluoride added to drinking water come from? The main chemicals used to fluoridate drinking water are known as "silicofluorides" (i.e., hydrofluorosilicic acid and sodium fluorosilicate). Silicofluorides are not pharmaceutical-grade fluoride products; they are unprocessed industrial by-products of the phosphate fertilizer industry. Since these silicofluorides undergo no purification procedures, they can contain elevated levels of arsenic - moreso than any other water treatment chemical. In addition, recent research suggests that the addition of silicofluorides to water is a risk factor for elevated lead exposure, particularly among residents who live in homes with old pipes. What are the risks from swallowing fluoride? Fluoride has long been known to be a very toxic substance. This is why, like arsenic, fluoride has been used in pesticides and rodenticides (to kill rats, insects, etc). It is also why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now requires that all fluoride toothpaste sold in the U.S. carry a poison warning that instructs users to contact the poison control center if they swallow more than used for brushing. Excessive fluoride exposure is well known to cause a painful bone disease (skeletal fluorosis), as well as a discoloration of the teeth known as dental fluorosis. Excessive fluoride exposure has also been linked to a range of other chronic ailments including arthritis, bone fragility, dental fluorosis, glucose intolerance, gastrointestinal distress, thyroid disease, and possibly cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. While the lowest doses that cause some of these effects are not yet well defined, it is clear that certain subsets of the population are particularly vulnerable to fluoride's toxicity. Populations that have heightened susceptibility to fluoride include infants, individuals with kidney disease, individuals with nutrient deficiencies (particularly calcium and iodine), and individuals with medical conditions that cause excessive thirst. Where can I learn more about fluoride and its effects?
