All tests were performed in an accredited laboratory to replicate the flow rates and contact times of AlkaViva electric ionizers. No ionization or electrolysis was used in testing. Control and influent samples were tested separately, and all filters were flushed prior to testing. Testing found that the UltraWater filtration system reduced levels of various hormones, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides/herbicides, and heavy metals to nondetectable levels.
