Air purifiers are not created equal

October 8, 2009
Unfortunately, there is no Federal statutory definition for "Air Purifier", like the one recently enacted to clearly define "Organic".

Now would be a good time.

Air Purifier sounds superior to air filter, and nearly every manufacturer uses this label for their products, when in fact, in nearly every case it is false.

A clear definition for air purifier would be, a device having:
  •  A collection of affirmative and active technologies that are projected into the air space. 
  • Totally eliminates dust from the air.
  • Independent university lab testing results to prove that it kills all known bacteria and viruses throughout the entire space.
  • Eliminates all odors, completely (not covering them up) and consistently.
Conversely, an accurate operating definition for an "Air Filter" is, a device that::
  • Requires air to pass through itself, to be presented to a filter media which is generally to only "technology" being applied, but may have a UV light, as well.
  • Has a very limited service area, generally not greater than 500 square feet.
  • It is very noisy, as it requires a high cfm (cubic foot per minute) fan, to "suck" the room air into the device for treatment.
  • It cannot "remove" any "matter" [dust] from the air that is not captured in the filter media.   Nor can it kill any microbe that does not pass within 1.5" of the UV bulb (if it has one), as the bandwidth of the light fades quickly, and beyond which point it is totally ineffective.
  • This includes the UV lamp air purifiers that are regularly sold and installed into air handlers, by many Air Conditioning companies.  These UV lamps are subject to the very same technology limits as described above, and can do absolutely nothing about dust and odors, or mold [spores], bacteria or viruses, anywhere in the home.
  • These UV lamps have a very high profit margin, which creates the sales motivation.
Although there is no realistic "coverage area" for a UV lamp, most of the "air filter" machines on the market are very expensive, in terms of their price per square foot of coverage area.

We hope the consumers who read this can now avoid being duped into spending their hard earned money on an air filter that cannot live up to its corporate-given name plate, masquerading as an "air purifier".

There is a tremendous, provable and demonstrable difference in actual performance and value proposition, between an air purifier and air filter, and that is what truly sets them apart from each other.

At EG, we care about the consumer, and are very committed to providing the proper education, so that they can make an informed buying decision.

Where do you start with power conservation?

October 9, 2009
Beyond simply changing certain behavior around the home or business, like using more energy efficient light bulbs, being more conservative with the thermostat and joining free utility efficiency programs, the truth is that becoming more energy efficient is generally very expensive. 

And this is why such a small percentage of people have actually done much more about it.

For most people, their electric bill represents the "barometer" of their energy thriftiness.

What do you think it would cost to buy brand a new "Energy Star Rated" HVAC system and all new appliances for the home?

Answer: At least $10,000.

How about adding more attic insulation?

Answer:  At least $2,000.

How about replacing your windows, with more energy efficient ones?

Answer:  At least $10,000. 

But, there is always the "Solar" option.  However, the cost is quite high, beginning at about $4,200 to install a solar domestic hot water system that may reduce your electric bill by anywhere from 15 to 30%, and delivering a payback period of at least 5 years.

There is also Photovoltaic (PV), which requires the installation of large, square panels on the roof that convert sunlight into electricity, then send it through wiring directly to the circuit breaker panel, where it is immediately consumed by the home. 

Unfortunately, the shear size of the south-facing roof space needed, combined with the cost of the system installation, even with a 50% government subsidy, put this alternative energy source entirely out of the reach of most people around the world. 

These systems only operate during daylight hours when everyone is away at work and school.  These systems cannot provide electricity during the evening hours when everyone is at home using it, because it does not have "batteries" to store the power for later use.

Please visit the  "Power Conservation" section of our website, to learn how a very small investment can significantly reduce your kilowatt hour electric consumption, and for most people pay for itself within two years or less;  Plus, provide you with whole-house surge protection and clean your electricity, before your electronics and appliances use it, giving them a much longer life.

Ionized Alkaline Water is catalyst for ridding woman of Chronic Migraine Disorder

March 3, 2010

For 14 years a single young woman, in her 30's, suffered from Chronic Migraine Disorder (CMD).  She endured multiple debilitating attacks every week, which basically kept her from having anything near a normal life. 

She remains under the care of a top physician and had been taking a regimen of expensive pharmaceuticals every day, paid out of her own pocket, but, with no relief in sight. 

She thought she was destined to this horrible, never-ending condition for the rest of what she truly believed would be an abbreviated life.

Once she began drinking the ionized alkaline water, after several days she reported not having suffered a headache in three days...the first time since she was 24 years old.

Then, 2 months later, as her health and outlook on life improved dramatically, she got her first driving license in 14 years, then bought a brand new car to go with it, to begin enjoying her new freedom and independence.

Now, she reports that she has been totally Migraine free for several weeks...all in a total of just 4 months.



The connection between Good Health and a Neutral Body pH Balance

October 7, 2009
When babies are born, they are about 80% water by volume, with a "neutral" body pH, which is understood by most to be 6.8 to 7.2 pH.

The "Western Diet", largely made up of animal fat proteins and sugar-laden carbonated soft drinks, is totally acidic and conflicts with the body's natural inclination to maintain a neutral pH balance.

This acidic imbalance results in "Acidosis", wherein the body reacts by "storing" excess acid in places like the walls of blood vessels, joints, muscle and organ tissue. Eventually, it builds up to the point where it becomes a problem, manifesting in any number of serious health challenges.

The daily consumption of alkaline water (7.5 to 9.5 pH), made from a Water Ionizer that also  engineers the water to be super re- hydrating, is the quickest, most consistent method of restoring the body to a neutral pH condition.

Doing this is especially important for Baby Boomers, as in the body's pursuit to maintain a neutral pH balance, particularly in the blood, it will cannibalize calcium from bones and teeth to do so; this, in turn, is a leading cause of  osteoporosis, gum disease and tooth decay in seniors.
