“We have found that the Wellness Filter® takes water to a new level in purity and performance. Taking nutritional products with Wellness Filter® water gives the consumer the ultimate health benefit."
Jeff Lioon, President
Douglas Laboratories
“The Wellness Filter is the best water treatment system I have ever seen. The wave energy is also the highest I have ever seen…no other system even comes close. While reverse osmosis and distilled waters are very clean, they are energetically dead and not healthy.”
Dr. H. Hotta, Hotta Hospital
The Wellness Kitchen is the next generation of water filtration
equipment. With years of research, testing, and engineering, you'll agree when you taste it that this system produces the Best Source of Water on Earth while eliminating the problems and frustrations that plague most water filters today.
If you are considering a drinking water filter your options range from
a simple faucet mount filter to carbon block filters and reverse
osmosis systems. Read below to find out why the Wellness Kitchen is the
best value for you and your family.
The Wellness Kitchen filtration and enhancement system delivers the world’s purest and most natural tasting water. It effectively reduces harmful contaminants, and at the same time enhances the water with delicate ions and minerals. After letting your body absorb the effects of its water, you will know why Hippocrates Health Institute, the world’s toprated medical spa, endorses and exclusively uses the Wellness Filter® to supply drinking water to its clients.
The Wellness Kitchen is the state-of-the-art in purification and
enhancement of water. Available in both countertop and undersink
models, the Wellness Kitchen utilizes a 3-stage carbon block and nanoceram
purification cartridge that has been independently tested to
reduce chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, PCB, MTBE, pesticides, THMs, lead,
mercury, asbestos, and cysts for 1000 gallons. The system is also tested
to reduce bacteria by 99.9999% and viruses by 99.99% while retaining all
healthy minerals.
After the water has been purified it passes through a permanent enhancement cartridge filled with 5 layers of exotic, Japanese minerals. Inside, the patented magnetic treatment stage improves the hydrating ability of water, nourishing your cells with fresh, super-hydrating water. Afterwards Bakuhan and Taicho add alkaline minerals which stabalize the alkalinity of water and add a bacteriostatic effect, helping to keep the system free of contamination. Finally, Quartz crystals add soluble silica into the water, a mineral which has been shown to positively effect cognitive function.
The Wellness Kitchen comes with a simple light indicator which glows blue, yellow, or red depending on cartridge status. The cartridge change procedure is revolutionary; simply pull on the handle and twist the cartridge counterclockwise to remove. The sanitary housing prevents you from ever having to touch a wet and potentially hazardous cartridge. Unlike other filters on the market, the Wellness Kitchen delivers a full stream of purified water (over 1 gallon per minute)... two times the average system and enough to use for all your beverage and cooking needs.
Find out for yourself why hundreds of thousands of users, including physicians, athletes and health-conscious individuals, make the Wellness Filter technology their choice for a lifetime... order your Wellness Kitchen today.

The Wellness Kitchen uses an NSF certified carbon block, which has been tested to effectively reduce Chlorine, Chloramines, Cysts, THMs, VOCs, MTBEs, Asbestos, Lead, Mercury, and other contaminants (for a complete list, see Performance Data Sheet). Each cartridge lasts 1,200 gallons or about 1 year for a family of four.
The Wellness Kitchen utilizes cutting edge Nano-Ceram technology which has been independently tested to remove 99.9999% of Bacteria and 99.99% of Viruses. Unlike Reverse Osmosis technology, Nano-Ceram removes these contaminants without removing healthy minerals or reducing your flow rate. To find out more about Nano-Ceram technology, click here .
Unlike most carbon filters which produce only 0.5 gpm (gallons per minute) or Reverse Osmosis systems which produce < 0.01 gpm, the Wellness Kitchen is designed to produce between 1 and 1.5 gpm. You can now fill a container with filtered water just as quickly as tap water! Even in low pressure installations such as RVs or Boats, the Wellness Kitchen can produce 1 gpm.
The Wellness Kitchen utilizes a twist-lock design that allows you to change the cartridge by simply turning the handle 90º. A built in shut-off valve bypasses the system so you do not need to disconnect it from the water supply. The cartridge is completely contained in a sanitary housing which prevents any of the contaminants that have accumulated on the filter from passing back to you during cartridge change. Your replacement cartridge will also contain a pre-paid sleeve which you can use to send your used cartridge back to Wellness Filter for recycling.
The Wellness Kitchen was engineered to the most rigorous structural standards... designed to last 100,000 cycles and pressure spikes up to 400 psi. In the home this level of reliability is essential as even a small leak can cause major flood damage. Many other filters are hand-assembled with dozens of potential leak points that can fail during transport or worse, during use. The Wellness Kitchen uses a completely molded design and any leak points use the best double o-ring seals.
The Wellness Kitchen is much more than just a filter. After the water has been purified it passes through a permanent enhancement cartridge filled with 5 layers of exotic, Japanese minerals. Inside, the patented magnetic treatment stage improves the hydrating ability of water, nourishing your cells with fresh, super-hydrating water. Afterwards Bakuhan and Taicho add alkaline minerals which stabilize the alkalinity of water and add a bacteriostatic effect, helping to keep the system free of contamination. Finally, Quartz crystals add soluble silica into the water, a mineral which has been shown to positively effect cognitive function.

Wellness enhancement technology was first introduced in the form of a consumer water purification system (the "Wellness Filter") by Wellness founder, Haru Naito, over twenty years ago. This system has been acclaimed for its ability to induce into water certain unique properties that improve or enhance water's already vital role in life. Specifically, the technology can be used to design water that exhibits the following properties:
How does the Wellness process create healthier water for you to enjoy at home?
The first sub-stage utilizes a patented magnetic induction stage that drops the surface tension of the water and increases the solubility. This process is also known as magnetic structuring of water and is well documented. This is the stage that significantly increases the transmissivity and solubility for the water.

The 'Resonant Activation' zone
Water with an increased level of solubility is able to hold an increased level of dissolved substances in it or prevent existing dissolved solids from plating out (anti-scaling). The combined effect is a super-hydrating water that will accelerate its transport (and whatever is dissolved in it) through membranes into the body as well as out of the body.
The second sub-stage consists of a proprietary ceramic media that induces reduced or negative ions into the water. This material is classified as a Far-Infrared Emitting Ceramic and is made of a proprietary blend of volcanic media. Far-Infrared Ceramics convert thermal or mechanical energy into far-infrared energy. Several manufacturers are now selling specialized therapeutic saunas in which the heat radiators are made of far-infrared ceramics. Wellness, however, uses these proprietary ceramics to ionize water that is placed into contact with the media.
Depending on the formula for the ingredients used to make the ceramic, the concentration of negative ions produced can be controlled within a specific range. This aids in the production of certain water properties for specific applications.
The third stage incorporates rare igneous stones known as Bakuhan™ and Taicho. Bakuhan is the only mineral ever to be certified by the Japanese Ministry of Health as possessing natural medicinal qualities. These rocks elute into water certain trace minerals that have been shown to have a therapeutic effect on arthritis and circulation, and to accelerate the healing of burns. These minerals also fill the "buffering capacity" of water, creating an alkaline effect in your body. It is important to note that pH and alkalinity, while related, are not the same thing and your water's pH will vary depending on the mineral content of your source water.
Taicho™ stone is noted for inducing natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties into water. Wellness has tested the properties of these minerals in several agricultural applications and found that the water stimulates plant growth while retarding fungus. This effect is so significant that a hyper-enhanced version of Wellness Water is being used as the base for Mannatech's (MTEX:NYSE) Optimal Skin Care Line, The First Completely Preservative Free Skincare Product in the World! In this hyper-enhanced form the water is bactericidal instead of bacterio-static and is capable of killing harmful strains of bacteria without any of the side effects of natural or synthetic preservatives.
One of the reasons for this is that Americans pride themselves in having very high quality water from every tap and assume that all water is the same. A thorough study of water in America and the world in general tells a different story. A few well-placed hours on the Internet show that the world is in an unprecedented water quality crisis as well as water shortage. Depending on what part of the country one lives in, it is easy to find trace amounts of chlorination byproducts, organics, nitrates, pesticides, heavy metals, radioactive compounds, petrochemicals and parasites coming from the local municipal water supply. If you get your water from a private well, all of these contaminants except for the chlorination byproducts can be present.
The toxins and free radicals in these waters are made significantly more toxic to humans by the addition of chlorine -- a compound mandated by the public health department. The Environmental Protection Agency now reports that individuals who drink and bath in chlorinated surface waters (i.e., water from lakes, rivers and shallow wells) have a 50% greater likelihood of getting cancer in their lifetime.[1] [2] Even if you think you are safe because you drink bottled water, you may be surprised to learn that one can absorb up to 600% more contaminants in your body in a ten-minute shower than in all the water consumed in a day.[3]

[3] “Showers Pose a Risk to Health”, Ian Anderson, New Scientist, 9/18/86.
In January 2000, Sixty Minutes, the investigative TV program, reported that as many as 100 million Americans were drinking water contaminated with MTBE, a gasoline additive that has been leaching into our water supplies since 1992. MTBE is believed to cause cancer in concentrations as low as 10 parts per billion and unfortunately local water companies are helpless to remove it. Because of such contaminants, two out of every five households now have a water filter or drink bottled water, as will be discussed later, with no assurance of safety. The problem is that the average consumer and even most medical professionals do not know what is the best way to treat water or the best source of water to drink.

j Percent reduction reflects the allowable claims for Volatile Organic Chemicals/Compounds as per NSF/ANSI 53 Standard, Section 7.2.4.1.
k The carbon block in the Wellness Kitchen S-III is rated for 1 micron nominal filtration. Performance claim for Cysts based on NSF/ ANSI 53 challenge protocol 7.3.2.2.4.3, which requires reduction of particles in the range of 3 +/-.15 micron. Performance claim for Asbestos based on NSF/ANSI 53 challenge protocol 7.3.1.4.3, which requires reduction of particles greater than 10 micron in length.
The first step to create healthy water is to cleanse it of unwanted impurities. The Wellness process uses a variety of filtration media to achieve this and, unlike reverse osmosis or distillation, Wellness retains beneficial, acid buffering minerals including magnesium, calcium and potassium.
These minerals are always found in natural springs and they are a key requirement for healthy water.
SPG Silica
The primary filtration medium is SPG Silica, a specially processed volcanic sand. In the Wellness Filter SPG plays a dual role as a protective barrier and as an active agent in the enhancement process. SPG has a micron rating that varies from 0.5 microns to 3 microns and is designed to:
SPG is used in the Kitchen and Home systems only. It restricts flow rate too much to be utilized in the Shower and the enhancement effects are only used for drinking.
KDF® is a high-purity, granulated copper and zinc-based alloy that treats water based on the principle of REDOX (Oxidation-Reduction). KDF's induces an electro-chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred between molecules.
Many harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Free chlorine is changed into chloride (salt). Heavy metals such as Copper, Lead and Mercury react and are more easily captured by carbon or silica. KDF enhances filtration performance by:
KDF's REDOX activity also creates an environment that's deadly to some micro-organisms and interferes with the ability of others function. KDF is used in the Wellness Shower and Home systems only. Thanks to Wellness dual carbon stages it is not required in the S-III.
Carbon is the world's oldest filtration method known being recorded in both ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia where it was used to remove basic contaminants, odors and to improve taste. Carbon is the perfect material for removing chlorine and other organic chemical compounds and comes in many different grades according to the contaminant needing to be removed. Wellness uses both Organic Coconut and Activated carbon to protect against a wide range of chemicals, often reducing them to non-detectable levels.
Some of the contaminants treated include:
Additionally, the carbon used in the Wellness Kitchen cartridge has been tightly packed into a block with a rating of 1 micron absolute, allowing for effective Cyst & Asbestos treatment. This has also been wrapped in a unique .1 micron filter to ultimate purification.
