Millions of North
Americans may be drinking water that contains some of these
contaminants - the American Journal of Public Health states
that 35% of gastrointestinal illness is waterborne and
preventable.
In the natural world,
water is purified in a hydrological cycle that evaporates,
condenses and restores clean water. However, nature
cannot keep up with a growing population that demands a
larger, clean drinking water supply. Increasingly, we
must rely on technology for safe drinking water.

Bottleless Technology with a Distinct Difference
All innowave® systems
completely eliminate the need for bottles by treating water
at the point of use. Besides the hassles of lifting
and storing heavy bottles, you could be drinking - and
paying - for nothing more than ordinary tap water.
According to the International Bottled Water Association,
25% of bottled water originates from municipal water
supplies. Plus, since all innowave systems treat water
on-site, there are no additional pipes or plumbing for water
to run through and therefore no risk of recontamination.
innowave® engineers have
developed drinking water systems that use the best
technologies to improve the quality of drinking water.
By combining multiple treatment methods, innowave's unique
IDF and uvf technologies are highly effective in reducing a
wide range of contaminants. The innowave Chiller uses
filtration and an optional UV light to address various
drinking water concerns. innowave® systems are
designed to perform at their optimal level over time for
consistently great drinking water.

Tested and Certified Systems
When choosing a drinking
water system, it's important to know that the product does
everything it claims to do. innowave® systems have
been extensively tested and certified to assure you that
each system meets the highest industry standards and will
always perform as claimed. The Water Quality
Association (WQA), NSF, UL and the University of Arizona are
among the independent laboratories that have subjected
innowave systems to rounds of rigorous testing.
Testing and certification
for point-of-use water treatment systems is not yet required
in the industry. It is strictly voluntary for a
manufacturer to subject its systems to the scrutiny of the
various independent-testing organizations. As an
informed consumer, be sure to ask for documented performance
verification for any water treatment system you are
considering.
