A Pure Water Alternative From The Air

!±8± A Pure Water Alternative From The Air

Have you ever looked at the label on a bottle of water? The chances are that you will not find any important information about the source of the water (tap water, spring water, etc.), how the water was purified, and what contaminants remain in the water you are about to drink. The reason for this is that there are no current regulations requiring any company to relay this important information to the consumer. Municipal Water Companies are regulated and must perform to government standards. Don't you think it strange that private bottle water companies can get by with little or no disclosure? This is an industry much like the mortgage lending industry where the lack of regulations dupes the public into thinking it is getting something it is not. The problem for the public is not knowing which companies are producing good drinking water and which are not. Many people complain about the price of gasoline, but openly spend more for bottle water that they know nothing about. More recently it was announced that carcinogens from the plastic bottles are leaching into the water in the bottles as well.

Our health care industry is breaking at the seams as our overall health gets poorer and poorer causing more treatment and use of drugs. Proper hydration of our body with pure water should be the basis or foundation of good health care. How can our government representatives avoid addressing this basic need? Millions are putting poor water in their bodies throughout the day. A friend tells me he is not worrying about it as his body will make antibodies to fight the carcinogens entering his body. This may be well and good, but how does he know whether there is a negative effect that may surface in months or years later and cause a major illness. Realize that you most likely do not get sick overnight. There is a gradual wear and tear on the body until it breaks down or triggers a cleansing process. Needless to say, I am not a doctor, but simply use common sense to make health related decisions to avoid having to go to a doctor for him/her to help with more acute health problems. Doesn't it make sense not to have to put bad things in our body in the first place and not force the body to have to rid itself of them?

Some people and restaurants are opting to use tab water because it is tested for contaminants. However, even with the testing there are announcements to boil water or not drink it because of harmful bacteria found in a particular water district's water treatment plant. I read about this all the time. At present these are isolated occurrences, but they do happen. I also choose not to drink water with chlorine or fluoride added to it as I do not want to put these poisons in my body on a daily basis. I also am aware that the steam from long showers also causes me to breathe these poisonous fumes.

Because of the number of contaminates found in our ground water that is a source of water coming out of the tap, and not knowing the real purity of water in bottles, here is what I did. I opted for a more safe solution. I now generate all my drinking water from the air. Yes, four years ago I purchased my own air to water generator. It produces all the water I need to drink on a daily basis. Actually, it is enough for an entire family to drink on a daily basis. There are even commercial units that can produce very large amounts of water. I was told the standard for pure water is ten particles per million. I tested my water generator water and it generates three particles per million of pure water. I don't have to buy water anymore. It is pure and it tastes absolutely fantastic.

The principle of using the water generator is simple. It sucks air into the unit and passes through a special air filter to remove pollutants from the air. As a result a secondary benefit of the unit is to purify the air as it makes water. Special coils condense the water in the air, and the created water then passes through nine additional filters that include three UV lights, a sediment filter, pre-carbon and post carbon filters, and a zero waste RO filter. Yes, this unit delivers better water than Reverse Osmosis. The water is stored in a stainless steel holding tank, and is recycled continuously to maintain its fresh pristine taste and purity.

The unit weights around one hundred pounds and stands under four feet tall. You do not need to learn how to set-up the unit. Simply plug it in to the wall, and you will have water by the next day. It is made for either 110 V. or 220 V. The unit has a self-monitoring micro computer, and a touch screen to monitor the use of the unit. You can get a unit with a heating element and a special holding tank for hot instant water or if you don't want that then have a larger single cold water stainless steel holding tank.

I never have to worry about running out of water as there are 3.1 quadrillion gallons of water in the atmosphere. It produces water in greater quantities based on the temperature and humidity at the location of the unit. Just think about having a continuous supply of fresh, pure drinking water. All you have to do is to periodically wash off the air filter and it should run fine.The filters and UV lights are replaced every 1-2 years. My unit has a one year warranty. The unit is supposed to last as long as any appliance.

Even though the technology has been around for decades, the manufacture of these water generators is relatively new. The cost is relatively high at present, and I have heard that not all companies manufacture efficient water generators. I urge you to take your time to do your own careful research before you consider purchasing a unit. However, I am pleased that I made this choice.

Beginners Guide to Starting a Reef Aquarium

!±8± Beginners Guide to Starting a Reef Aquarium

STEP ONE, the same aquarium

Most of my customers buy aquariums that are too small and at the end of an update in the near future anyway. The minimum size for a marine aquarium should be at least 55 gallons. Will not only be in a position that will keep the majority of fish and corals in this tank, the parameters (salinity, pH, etc.) vary but not so much in a larger tank. Buy your aquarium and adequate support. I always recommend to your aquarium supply store, thedesigned for the aquarium. Do not forget to weight, a tank of 55 liters more than € 550 without rocks or sand so you do not do it on an old table. Now that you have your tank stand and placed on a flat surface in the house from every window where direct sunlight can affect the temperature. Make sure the tank is sitting at the stand level. This is particularly important in large tanks, because you do not want all the pressure points that seams can be divided tanks.

PHASE TWO, rock, sand andLIGHTING

Purchase a quality reef sand such as Carib Sea Ocean Direct Live Sand and ensure there is at least 2-3 inches of substrate at the bottom of your tank. This will help remove nitrates in the near future. We will get into nitrates later on but for now just make sure you purchase enough sand. As far as lighting there are a variety of options out there. T5 High Outputs are a good option to keep your electric bill reasonable. You should do a little research to find out what you will suite your needs. You will need about 2-3 20 lb bags for every 50 Gallons to achieve this. Now for the rock, you can use what is called live rock or you can use dry reef rock that is readily available online. What many aquarists don't know is you do not need to use live rock to start. You can purchase dry reef rock for about .75 - per lb versus paying about -15 per pound for live rock. They will both give you the same end result and dry rock gains about 10-30% more weight once it's wet so it's a better value. Purchase about one lb for every gallon of water you have so for a 55 Gallon aquarium purchase 50-55 lbs of rock. Position your rocks securely as desired and proceed to the next step, the water.

STEP THREE, WATER, POWERHEADS AND HEATERS

Now you need to purchase some additional saltwater aquarium supplies such as marine salt (I recommend Instant Ocean for its consistency), Powerheads (Koralia or Aquarium Systems Maxi Jets are a good choice). The flow you require is a simple formula; at least 10 x the size of you're aquarium so for example a 55 Gallon Aquarium needs at least 550 GPH (gallons per hour) of flow. Now you need to purchase a heater, both Jager and Visi Therm are a decent choice. They recommend what size is required (in watts) on their packaging and websites. Purchase a large enough heater because temperature consistency is important for your livestock. Last but not least purchase a Refractometer for around 50 dollars online. Measuring salinity with a plastic hydrometer is just not accurate and will cause you grief. Ok, now that you have purchased your saltwater aquarium supplies it's time to fill up the tank with water. One of the most commonly overlooked items is the water itself. Take it from my experience; use Reverse Osmosis Water with a TDS (total dissolved solids) close as possible to zero. To start you can purchase this at any water store in 5 gallon jugs or you can purchase a reverse osmosis system for under 0. If you are serious about keeping saltwater aquariums you need this to help eliminate various algae's and bacteria's that can bloom in your tank and kill all of your corals. This is the reason that most hobbyists throw in the towel. I could go into more detail about this but just Google red slime or hair algae and do a little reading. Install your powerheads and heater and start filling up your aquarium. Once it is full add your salt. It is usually about 1/4 cup per gallon but check the manufactures recommendation. Get your salinity up to about 1.024 or 1.025.

STEP FOUR, THE WAITING GAME

At this point your tank is cycling. You are waiting for little bacteria that you cannot see to magically appear out of nowhere and start consuming the ammonia. This can take anywhere from 3-6 weeks and your light is not required. A trick I have learned is to add a 5-10lb piece of Live Rock to speed up the cycle. This will introduce some bacteria and life to your tank. In a nutshell what happens is the bacteria eat the ammonia and produce nitrites (another type of ammonia), yet another bacteria turns the nitrites into nitrates which are pretty much left in your tank to accumulate. Skimming and water changes will keep nitrates under control. You can start skimming any time now. It's not critical at this point but it's a good time to fire up your skimmer. I have always used Coralife Super Skimmers. They are easy to setup and maintain and do a great job of removing organic waste. They also give you an option to setup in a sump (another article, another time) or hang on the back of your tank. They are not pretty but the rock work can hide most of it. All you have to do now is add top off water to make up for the water that has evaporated. Do not add saltwater to make up for the missing water or your salinity will rise. Salt does not evaporate into the air. That is why we top off with fresh water. When your ammonia test kit shows zero you will need to do a 20 percent water change and check it again in a day or so. If it tests zero you can start by adding a fish. Take it very slow at this point or your tank will re-cycle killing everything. Add about one fish or coral once a week and take it slow. We did not test for nitrites or nitrates because they really don't matter at this point.

STEP 5, MAINTAINING YOUR TANK

So your tank is setup and you have a couple of fish and a coral or two. At this point you should be doing at least a 5 percent water change every week to keep the nitrates down and nuisance algae at bay. It will also replenish the calcium, magnesium and trace elements that your corals need to survive. Purchase a good magnet cleaner to scrub the front of your glass. If you do end up getting some algae run some GFO (granular ferric oxide) in a media bag in a filter to remove the phosphates from your water. This will keep it from spreading and in combination with manual removal you can keep it under control.
