Seychelle's New Water Pitcher Filtration System Offers Significant Technological Advantages Over Existing Systems

Posted on: Wednesday, 3 May 2006, 18:00 CDT

"Although tap water meets federal and state standards, millions of consumers have turned to water pitchers to improve the quality of their drinking water by removing chlorine, bad taste and odor," said Carl Palmer, founder, president and chief executive officer of Seychelle Environmental Technologies. "But over the past 10 years, the technology hasn't really changed, and consumers believe erroneously that they are receiving the benefits of pure water, when only a handful of contaminants are actually being removed -- until now."

The new water pitcher filter system leverages Seychelle's proprietary Ionic Adsorption Micron Filter technology. The filter's unique blend of media removes up to 99.8 percent of most pollutants and contaminants found in fresh water supplies, as identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in its publication, "Water on Tap" (EPA 815-K-97-002), which can cause serious health problems or even death. The filter removes not only chlorine, sediment and odor, it also removes pathogens, such as Giardia, Cryptosporidium; chemicals such as PCBs, herbicides, pesticides, DDT, MTBEs, detergents and other organic compounds; as well as heavy metals, such as arsenic, lead, mercury, aluminum, asbestos, cadmium, copper and Chromium 6, which drew widespread attention as a result of the movie, "Erin Brockovich."

Economical Water Pitcher Provides Safe Drinking Water for up to 150 Gallons

The new pitcher system comes with removable filters that produce up to 150 gallons of clean, great-tasting filtered water, as compared to about 40 gallons for most other pitchers on the market. An LED counter is included to ensure consumers have a reliable way of knowing when to change the filter. And, with its pistol-grip handle and flip-top lid for easy filling, the pitcher fits easily into any refrigerator, and can be used for a variety of purposes, including at home, on an RV or boat, hiking, camping, traveling or worldwide when used with the optional disinfectant accessory.

Seychelle Pitcher Pure Removes Toxins, Microbial Contaminants and Chemicals

In early April, the prominent County of Los Angeles Environmental Toxicology Laboratory, which is accredited and certified by the EPA and California State Department of Health Services, completed its testing of the Seychelle Ionic Adsorption Micron Filter. Results of the tests verified the successful reduction of the 50 organic and inorganic contaminants listed by the EPA in "Water on Tap," in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, which are linked to cancer, birth defects, neurological disorders and a host of other diseases.

The Seychelle Pitcher retails for $49.95 and is available through dealers, distributors and online at http://www.seychelle.com/.
