In the last several years, scientists have learned a
great deal about the physical structure of water, and how variations
in that structure affect water's ability to transport oxygen,
nutrients, and minerals. This knowledge is leading to a new generation
of water treatment technology, where subtle earth energies are
replacing the use of salts and toxic chemicals. The timing couldn't
be better, as concerns about water quality problems continue to
rise both locally and across the nation.
Leading the field is a remarkable technology from Austria
called Living
Water. The fact that Johann Grander, the inventor, claims
to receive his inspiration directly from God and Nature has made
some folks uncomfortable. Nevertheless, his technology works well
and scientists are beginning to understand why Grander products
are widely used in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
According to Grander, Living Water uses Nature's own energies
to revitalize water that has been damaged by high pressure and
chemicals. Living Water units do not consume power, salt, or chemicals
and are very beneficial for the environment. High capacity units
for home or commercial use are comparable in price to traditional
water softeners, but are much smaller and easier to install. A
small, portable device called the "Penergizer" is available
for $125 and provides an opportunity to experience this remarkable
technology with a limited investment.
The Penergizer is made of smooth, chromium steel and is
similar in size and appearance to a fountain pen. It weighs 52
grams and works simply by stirring the fluid to be treated. Here
are some simple experiments you can try with the Penergizer:
#1 Fill two glasses of water from your tap. If you live
in the city, you will probably notice the "chemical"
smell and taste of chlorine in the water. If you have a well,
you may notice that the water tastes "thick" or "hard"
from minerals. Stir one glass with the Penergizer, clockwise,
about 25 times, and let the unit rest a minute until the water
is still. Remove the Penergizer and wipe it dry. Now taste the
revitalized, Living Water. It should taste fresh and clean, with
no hint of chlorine or minerals. For comparison, take a sip of
the untreated water (yuk!) Now pour one or two ounces of Living
Water into the other glass and swirl it gently. Like magic, the
entire glass has been transformed just by adding a few ounces!
#2 Take some lettuce or spinach leaves that have wilted
(but are not rotten). Prepare a bowl of Living Water with the
Penergizer. Soak the leaves for 10 to 20 minutes. Remove the leaves,
which now should feel crisp and succulent. Taste one (yum!) The
revitalized leaves will stay fresh and crisp in the refrigerator
for up to a week or longer. Similar results can be experienced
with cut flowers.
#3 Clean your coffee maker, and make a pot of coffee in
the usual way. Pour the fresh coffee into a container. Now make
a second pot, using Living Water and only 3/4 of the usual amount
of coffee. Sample the two brews. You should find that Living Water
produces a better tasting cup of coffee with fewer beans!
Although water has a simple chemical formula, its physical
structure is quite complex. Clusters of 60 or more molecules are
formed which account for its unique properties. Water that has
been forced out of the ground, pumped under high pressure, and/or
treated with chemicals has a damaged physical structure. The number
of "docking sites" in the water is vastly reduced, so
chlorine and minerals "escape" at every opportunity:
by evaporation (hence the smell of chlorine), by attaching to
pipes and fixtures (resulting in lime scaling and corrosion),
and by attaching to your skin (causing irritation and drying).
Revitalized water has its proper physical structure restored.
The surface tension is reduced, and the oxygen content goes way
up. There are plenty of "docking sites" so that chlorine
and minerals remain attached to the water and pass through the
body harmlessly. Revitalized water mixes and dissolves things
better than untreated water. When installed in the home, Living
Water units actually de-scale pipes and equipment with no extra
effort or chemicals. Soap residue in the shower or bath disappears,
old fixtures become shiny again, and waste water decomposes quickly.
All of this is accomplished with natural forces. Living
Water units contain an energized fluid that is permanently sealed
in high quality chromium steel. The fluid transfers information,
not energy, to the water. Perhaps the most amazing thing of all
is that treated water can pass this information along and revitalize
up to ten times its own volume merely by contact. Grander claims
that the waste water passing through your pipes actually revitalizes
the environment when it leaves your home!
Sound fantastic? Plenty of testimonials and scientific
data are available. Swimming pool owners report sparkling clear
water with less maintenance, savings from lower chemical usage,
and elimination of scaling in pumps and equipment. Farms report
increased biomass in crops, cleaner livestock facilities, and
vastly improved waste processing. Photo labs report dramatic savings
in equipment cleaning costs, while restaurants report the complete
elimination of grease trap problems.
All of this is possible with water that has been restored
to its natural, healthy condition. Scientists are beginning to
understand what this means in terms of compound molecular structure.
Johann Grander maintains that higher, spiritual forces are involved.
Whatever the explanation, Living Water represents a new opportunity
to heal the ailing waters of our land.
1. Living Water units have no known life span. After ten
years their effectiveness has not diminished. The fluid inside
is permanently energized.
2. Because they contain a fluid, Living Water units must
be protected from freezing or boiling. Otherwise they require
no maintenance and should last indefinitely.
3. Living Water units do not contain a filter. Water that
is unsafe to drink because of heavy metals or high bacteria count
must also be treated by conventional means.
