Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I really need a AUTEK water filter
bottle?
Yes, although water in the lakes, streams, rivers
and wells may appear to be clean, nature makes it an ideal breeding
ground for all kinds of bacteria and viruses, everything from
cryptosporidium, giardia and e.coli. The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency reports that 90% of the world's fresh water is contaminated
by industrial contaminant. Over 90% of all U.S. water systems
contain traces of at least 10 synthetic chemicals and lead. A
recent Ralph Nader Report stated "after reviewing over 10,000
pages of EPA documents aquired through the Fredom Of Information
Act... over 2300 chemicals that can cause cancer have been detected
in U.S. tap water. It makes sense to protect your health with
a AUTEK water filter bottle.
Chlorine was first added to a community water system in 1908 in Chicago and was instrumental in eliminating many types of waterborne disease such as Cholera and Typhoid fever. Chlorine has been used to disinfect municipal water for over 90 years and has had some positive effects on public health. In the 1970’s it was discovered that chlorine, when added to water, forms Trihalomethanes (chlorinated by-products) by combining with certain naturally occurring organic matter such as vegetation and algae. In 1992 the American Journal of Public Health published a report that showed a 15% to 35% increase in certain types of cancer for people who consume chlorinated water. This report also stated that much of these effects were due to showering in hlorinated water. The National Cancer Institute estimates cancer risks for people who consume chlorinated water to be 93% higher than for people who do not. The effects of drinking chlorinated water have been debated for decades. However, most experts now agree that there are some significant risks related to consuming chlorine and chlorinated by-products.
- What is the construction of AUTEK filter?
Ionic adsorption microfilter.
- How does AUTEK water filter bottle?
AUTEK water filteration system use physical filtration without any chemical processes to remove contaminants from water. The filter is solid, as water passes over the media, the granules of that media trap water contaminants and stop them from passing through with the water.
- Dose AUTEK water filter bottle really eliminate
odors and bad taste?
Yes. Ionic Adsorption microfilter will eliminate chlorine and other components contributing to odors and bad taste.
