• Countertop system purifies tap water with a proprietary two-stage process.
• Enjoy great-tasting water that is safer and healthier for your family. Save a fortune compared to bottled water.
• The first stage adds ozone (O3) to the water to destroy more than 99.99% of bacteria and viruses.
• The second stage uses activated carbon in a custom-formulated carbon-block filter to remove pesticides, wastes, other chemical contaminants plus any remaining ozone.
• Ozonation, when combined with carbon filtration, is more effective — and more cost efficient — than any competing system utilizing ultraviolet radiation or reverse osmosis or filtration alone.
  

The nation's water infrastructure is in a state of neglect and disrepair. Towns, townships and other local agencies supply the public with drinking water and they also collect, treat and dispose of wastewater and storm water runoff. Pipes and plants built to bring clean and safe water to homes and remove wastewater continue to come to the end of their useful life. As older systems deteriorate and federal water quality rules tighten, local budgets simply cannot keep pace. Water infrastructure needs are large and unprecedented. In cities large and small, water mains have broken, sewers have overflowed and contaminants have crept into our drinking water. The best municipal water treatment facilities in the world are worthless if we cannot guarantee the safe delivery of drinking water into our homes.


Sales of bottled water in the United States have exploded in recent years, largely as a result of a public perception of purity driven by advertisements and packaging labels featuring pristine glaciers and crystal-clear mountain springs. But bottled water sold in the United States is not necessarily cleaner or safer than most tap water, according to a four-year scientific study recently made public by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). NRDC's study included testing of more than 1,000 bottles of 103 brands of bottled water. While most of the tested waters were found to be of high quality, some brands were contaminated: about one-third of the waters tested contained levels of contamination including synthetic organic chemicals, bacteria, and arsenic. What's more, in 2003, only 12% of "custom" plastic bottles, a category dominated by water, were recycled. As a result, 40 million bottles per day went into the trash or became litter.


The lotus Water Treatment System utilizes the same ozone technology employed by multi-million dollar municipal treatment plants to destroy up to 99.99% of the bacteria and toxins that can sometimes seep into your tap water.

Perhaps you have had concerns about impurities, pathogens and the like finding their way into your family's drinking water or have worried that the water filter you use cannot deal with bacteria. Well, the lotus Water Treatment System alleviates all of those fears by using a proprietary 2-stage process to deliver pure, great tasting drinking water to you and your family. The first stage super-oxygenates the water with O3 to destroy up to 99.99% of microorganisms and toxins that can sometimes find their way into tap water. The second stage uses a custom-formulated carbon block filter to remove any remaining contaminants and excess ozone for that great lotus taste.

What is the lotus® My Home Water Treatment System designed to do?
The system makes tap water cleaner, safer, healthier and much better tasting. It does the same with well water and drinkable lake water, too. It does this quickly, easily and at very low cost - killing germs with ozone; then filtering contaminants with activated carbon. Better tasting than bottled water at a fraction of the cost.

Why do I need to sanitize the water I drink?
Although water leaving municipal water-treatment plants is clean, it becomes vulnerable to a variety of physical, chemical and biological impurities when it travels through underground pipes that carry the water to your home. These include contaminants like arsenic, iron, manganese, sulfur, asbestos, pesticides and other industrial chemicals. If the pipes have cracked and sediment has built up through the years, this encrusted buildup can become a breeding ground for bacteria.

How does the system work?
The system uses two complementary processes to kill germs and filter out contaminants.

First, it generates ozone and infuses it into the water to kill 99.99% of all living microorganisms, including viruses and bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella.

Second, it uses an activated carbon block filter to remove pesticides, wastes, chemical contaminants, 99.99% of parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

Isn't ozone dangerous?
With the lotus My Home water treatment system the ozone is only dangerous to germs! No ozone is released back into the air.

What about bottled water?
If you drink bottled water because you think it is cleaner, healthier, safer or better tasting, think again. Did you know that many water bottlers use treated municipal water? Or that more than 40 million plastic water bottles per day are not recycled. Many families spend over $1,000 each year for bottled; you’ll could save 95% with the lotus My Home water treatment system.

What types of water can be used?
Use lotus My Home water treatment system with any municipal tap water or visually clear well or lake water. It is designed to disinfect and filter water that may be microbiologically contaminated but which meets all other public health standards. The water should not be colored, cloudy or turbid.

Has the system been tested?
The lotus My Home water treatment system has been extensively tested and accredited by independent EPA and NSF accredited labs. It has also been tested to NSF standards 42 and 53, with a seven-log reduction of germs.

How long will the carbon filter last?
The carbon filter should last about a year, or about a gallon a day. This converts to about 700 10-minute cycles. The system will tell you when it's time to change the filter.

There are two lotus® systems - how do they compare?
The lotus® My Home water treatment system uses ozone for purifying drinking water , while our chemical-free cleaning system uses ozone for cleaning and sanitizing surfaces and produce. The chemical-free cleaing System generates liquefied ozone which is not to for drinking water, whereas the water treatment system produces prurified drinking water that will not be effective for home cleaning or removing perticides and contaminants from food.
