What is the Body Glove water filter made of?

  1. Body Glove water filter systems use a pre-filter wrap to protect the carbon media.
  2. A patented carbon block that together help trap sediment particles, and contaminants.
  3. KDF-55 filtering media designed specifically for removing or reducing chlorine and water-soluble heavy metals. It controls scale, bacteria and algae, even in hot water. The process medium received NSF International Certification and is certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 – Drinking Water Treatment Units – Aesthetic Effects. This medium is also in compliance with California’s Health and Safety Code Section 166875 (or commonly know as AB1953) and Vermont Act 193.
  4. Body Glove’s patented IMPACT Technology combines the effectiveness of carbon filtration with a 0.2 micron pharmaceutical grade nylon membrane filter (BG-6000 & BG-12000 only).

What is Tri Stage Filtration?

Tri Stage Filtration is a unique process that combines 3 stages:

1. Water is treated by KDF-55 media for bacteriostatic and scale control.
2. A Micro-Filger-Wrap evenly traps sediment particles while maintaining overall flow rates.
3. Water flows through a carbon block filter.

What is Quad Stage Filtration?

Quad Stage Filtration utilizes the same 3 elements as Tri Stage and goes one step further.

4. A patented 0.2 micron pharmaceutical grade membrane.

What is IMPACT Technology?

Integrated Membrane Pre-Activated Carbon Technology is what allows our BG-12000 to offer some of the finest in filter technology. Previously found exclusively within the pharmaceutical and wine making industries, IMPACT technology is used in our Quad Stage Filtrationprocess.

What’s a Cyst?

A cyst is the survivable form that parasites take on when they leave the host (you, me, your dog, etc…). The parasite goes dormant and grows a thick covering like an egg which allows it to survive in water or soil for long periods of time, and even allows it to survive the chlorine-based disinfectants typically used by the water treatment industry. The most common types of cyst that cause disease in humans are Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

These intestinal parasite cysts “hatch” when ingested by humans and cause intestinal disease. The diseases are not life threatening if treated, but can be dangerous to people with weakened immune systems.

Symptoms Include:

  • diarrhea
  • abdominal cramping
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • fever
  • headache
  • loss of appetite

How can we protect the Earth ?

Filtering your own water instead of buying bottled keeps thousands of empty plastic bottles out of landfills. Home filtration also means fewer water bottles are transported and distributed at great environmental cost.

Will it save the environment?

Yes, definitely. Watch the presentation Thirst For (Clean) Water (Power Point format) to see how avoiding bottled water will save the environment and what you can do to contribute to green living.

What are the risks of tap water ?

Due to added chlorine into water for sterilization, which produced “trihalomethanes carcinogen” “Trihalomethanes” may cause a variety of cancers such as: colon cancer, stomach cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, miscarriage and teratogenic and so on. Using Body Glove water filter system can effectively reduce “trihalomethanes”, protect your family’s health.
