About EVA
Thanks to its unique filtration process, the volcanic rocks on different levels of filtration release a mineral complement rich in trace elements essential for a good physiological balance.
Selected and extracted from regions far away from human pollution, the EVA rocks diffuse a number of minerals into the filtered and purified water. These rocks also help with the stabilization of the pH level of the water after filtration. With its 8 stage filtration and re-mineralisation process, EVA produces safe, great tasting water, close to that of natural water found in mountain springs.
Everyday issues with tap water
The tap water we use every day for drinking (making tea, coffee, cordials…)
or cooking (boiled vegetables, pasta, rice, fruits…) can carry harmful substances (lead, chlorine, mercury, aluminium, cadmium, fluoride…) which can gradually build up inside the body. Even in tiny quantities, these are unhealthy: some substances such as nitrates can be very dangerous.
There are numerous examples of pollution in European countries, such as cases where cattle or industrial pollution accidentally disperse organic elements into the ground.
These elements, after chemical degradations and seepage, end up in the ground water, all of which have consequences for the pollution of tap water. Some harmful germs (salmonella, E.coli…) can under certain conditions, pass through the common tap water filtration processes… For this reason some consumers do not see water filtration products as luxury goods, but as compulsory items to have at home.
The importance of the pH level in water
The pH level of water is very important for the body’s well-being as well asfor the assimilation of nutrients and other vital vitamins and minerals. The human body has a natural pH level of 7.4. This level must be maintained for it to function properly. If, for whatever reason, the level becomes too acidic or alkaline, the body automatically tries to return to its natural level.
The consumption of acidic water - that is, water which contains an inferior level of minerals, chlorine, sulphates or nitrates - as well as acidic food, can temporarily hinder the body. Excess acid in the body has been shown to weaken the immune system. The consumption of a more alkaline water may help restore the body’s natural balance. When the body tries to regulate its, it may delve into its mineral reserves or store the acid in muscles or fat. Most medical bodies or biologists agree that the main benefit of having an alkaline pH (above 7) is to prevent the destruction of enzymes contained in saliva, which would be eliminated by acidic water (with a pH below 7).
Generally, you will find that highly purified waters (even re-mineralised) will have a pH below 7. Water from subterranean springs that hasn’t been chemically treated or modified should have a pH between 7.2 and 7.8 – the ideal range for good health. The EVA Advanced Water Filtration System helps regain this purity by making tap water alkaline.
