The Wellness Filter® was developed in 1980 by Harusuke Naito, a renowned Japanese sports physiologist, as part of an effort to produce ”perfect water” for the Japanese Olympic swimming team and professional athlete clients. Mr. Naito believed that even subtle differences in water purity, surface tension and mineral content could affect body hydration, cellular function, and athletic performance. After years of testing and experimentation, Mr. Naito introduced the Wellness Filter to the Japanese market in 1984. After several years of sales, Naito’s company began to assemble thousands of consumer reports regarding the unexpected health benefits experienced by the consumers of the product. Soon many doctors began to introduce the filter in their practices and test these reports against more controlled studies. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, a number of universities began to test the effect of the filter’s water on animals in order to avoid the psychological or placebo effect associated with human subjects. In all cases, the researchers witnessed a substantial improvement in health and growth when compared against normal municipal water or well water.
Over the years, Mr. "Haru" Naito has become the world's preeminent leader in water enhancement technologies, developing patented processes and proprietary media while developing a war chest of closely guarded trade secrets. In the late 1990's Mr. Naito decided to expand his company outside of Japan which resulted in the formation of Wellness Enterprises, LLC to serve all international markets outside of Japan.

Wellness Enhancement - The Technology
Wellness enhancement technology was first introduced in the form of a consumer water purification system (the “Wellness Filter”) by Wellness’ founder, Haru Naito, over twenty years ago. This system has been acclaimed for its ability to induce into water certain unique properties that improve or enhance water’s already vital role in life. Specifically, the technology can be used to design water that exhibits the following properties:
- Higher rates of transmissivity to make it more readily absorbable by humans, animals and plants
- Reduced ions for a greatly improved and natural antioxidant effect
- Higher Solubility, making water 'wetter'
- Additional trace minerals that enhance cellular and biological function and stabilize pH
- Natural resistance to the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi
How does the Wellness process create healthier water for you to enjoy at home?
Stage 1 - Magnetic Resonance Activation
The first sub-stage utilizes a patented magnetic induction stage that drops the surface tension of the water and increases the solubility. This process is also known as magnetic structuring of water and is well documented. This is the stage that significantly increases the transmissivity and solubility for the water.

Water with an increased level of solubility is able to hold an increased level of dissolved substances in it or prevent existing dissolved solids from plating out (anti-scaling). The combined effect is a super-hydrating water that will accelerate its transport (and whatever is dissolved in it) through membranes into the body as well as out of the body.
Stage 2 - Far-Infrared Antioxidants
The second sub-stage consists of a proprietary ceramic media that induces reduced or negative ions into the water. This material is classified as a Far-Infrared Emitting Ceramic and is made of a proprietary blend of volcanic media. Far-Infrared Ceramics convert thermal or mechanical energy into far-infrared energy. Several manufacturers are now selling specialized therapeutic saunas in which the heat radiators are made of far-infrared ceramics. Wellness, however, uses these proprietary ceramics to ionize water that is placed into contact with the media.
Depending on the formula for the ingredients used to make the ceramic, the concentration of negative ions produced can be controlled within a specific range. This aids in the production of certain water properties for specific applications.
Stage 3 - Mineral Stabilization
The third stage incorporates rare igneous stones known as Bakuhan™ and Taicho. Bakuhan is the only mineral ever to be certified by the Japanese Ministry of Health as possessing natural medicinal qualities. These rocks elute into water certain trace minerals that have been shown to have a therapeutic effect on arthritis and circulation, and to accelerate the healing of burns. These minerals also fill the "buffering capacity" of water, creating an alkaline effect in your body. It is important to note that pH and alkalinity, while related, are not the same thing and your water's pH will vary depending on the mineral content of your source water.
Taicho™ stone is noted for inducing natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties into water. Wellness has tested the properties of these minerals in several agricultural applications and found that the water stimulates plant growth while retarding fungus. This effect is so significant that a hyper-enhanced version of Wellness Water is being used as the base for Mannatech's (MTEX:NYSE) Optimal Skin Care Line, The First Completely Preservative Free Skincare Product in the World! In this hyper-enhanced form the water is bactericidal instead of bacterio-static and is capable of killing harmful strains of bacteria without any of the side effects of natural or synthetic preservatives.
Water Purification
The first step to create healthy water is to cleanse it of unwanted impurities. The Wellness process uses a variety of filtration media to achieve this and, unlike reverse osmosis or distillation, Wellness retains beneficial, acid buffering minerals including magnesium, calcium and potassium.
These minerals are always found in natural springs and they are a key requirement for healthy water.
SPG Silica
The primary filtration medium is SPG Silica, a specially processed volcanic sand. In the Wellness Filter SPG plays a dual role as a protective barrier and as an active agent in the enhancement process. SPG has a micron rating that varies from 0.5 microns to 3 microns and is designed to:
- Mechanically filter asbestos, dirt, rust, and sediment
- Enhance water purity and taste
SPG is used in the Kitchen and Home systems only. It restricts flow rate too much to be utilized in the Shower and the enhancement effects are only used for drinking.
KDF 55 & 85
KDF® is a high-purity, granulated copper and zinc-based alloy that treats water based on the principle of REDOX (Oxidation-Reduction). KDF's induces an electro-chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred between molecules.
Many harmful contaminants are changed into harmless components. Free chlorine is changed into chloride (salt). Heavy metals such as Copper, Lead and Mercury react and are more easily captured by carbon or silica. KDF enhances filtration performance by: 
- Extending carbon life & reducing maintenance
- Reducing many contaminants including chloramines and heavy metals
KDF's REDOX activity also creates an environment that’s deadly to some micro-organisms and interferes with the ability of others function. KDF is used in the Wellness Shower and Home systems only. Thanks to Wellness dual carbon stages it is not required in the S-III.
Organic Coconut and Activated Carbon
Carbon is the world's oldest filtration method known being recorded in both ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia where it was used to remove basic contaminants, odors and to improve taste. Carbon is the perfect material for removing chlorine and other organic chemical compounds and comes in many different grades according to the contaminant needing to be removed. Wellness uses both Organic Coconut and Activated carbon to protect against a wide range of chemicals, often reducing them to non-detectable levels.
Some of the contaminants treated include:
- Chlorine
- Chloramines
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Trihalomethanes (THMs)
- Tase and Odor
- Heavy Metals
Additionally, the carbon used in the Wellness S-III cartridge has been tightly packed into a block with a rating of 1 micron absolute, allowing for effective Cyst & Asbestos treatment. Carbon is used in all Wellness systems. The type used varies for each application.

Americans pride themselves on having very high quality water from every tap. A thorough study of water in America and the world in general tells a different story. A few well-placed hours on the Internet show that the world is in an unprecedented water quality crisis as well as water shortage. Depending on what part of the country one lives in, it is easy to find trace amounts of chlorination byproducts, organics, nitrates, pesticides, heavy metals, radioactive compounds, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and parasites coming from the local municipal water supply. Even if you get your water from a private well, most of these contaminants can still be present.
Concerned about Drugs in Your Drinking Water?
The Associated Press recently reported[1], in typical dramatic fashion, the results of their investigation where various studies detected low levels of a variety of pharmaceutical drugs in 24 major U.S. cities’ water supplies. The report states these drugs consist of common over the counter drugs like Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen as well as a number of varieties of prescription drugs. The report goes on to explain these drugs are expelled from the body during normal waste elimination, get treated in local municipal wastewater treatment plants and are ultimately discharged into our environment where they turn up in dilute quantities in the raw water supplies that our local water treatment plants use to produce our tap water. The report also states that our local water treatment plants are unable to remove most of these compounds and some end up in our final drinking water although in extremely low concentrations (i.e., parts per trillion to parts per billion).
The news report also states that health risks of consuming these low levels of pharmaceuticals are unknown… this is true. Finally, it states that home filtered water and bottled water that comes from municipal supplies (over 25% of all bottled water in the U.S. comes from a tap water source[2]) may not be safe. This statement leaves the reader with the impression that these drugs might still get into our bodies even though we use conventional filtration systems on our homes.
The truth is that national testing laboratories are still developing the standards and testing equipment required to detect and identify these compounds. Until they do, no one can make a definitive statement that their filtration products remove these compounds. That is the reason the report states, “…users of bottled water and home filtration systems don’t necessarily avoid exposure.”
The good news is that while testing standards are as of yet unavailable, based off our current knowledge we believe that many of these pharmaceutical compounds will be reduced by the latest carbon-block technologies, such as those used in the Wellness Filter®. The Wellness Filter has already been tested to reduce a broad spectrum of organic compounds and chlorinated organics (also known as chlorinated hydrocarbons). Once testing standards are available for pharmaceuticals and their byproducts we will be able to validate and make a formal claim.
Our Wellness Filter product line is designed to give you the best drinking and bathing water available. As our trademark states, “The best quality of water on earth… could be your faucet.”

Eczema Remediation Trial
In Fall 2005 Wellness Enterprises initiated its largest US trial to date, measuring the efficacy of the Wellness Shower for remediation of mild to moderate Eczema. The trial was a double-blind, placebo controlled study testing 40 South Florida subjects. Test subjects spent 8 weeks with a placebo filter and another 8 weeks with an active Wellness Shower filter and the severity of their condition was monitored through numerous data points. The study concluded in Spring 2007.
Location: Miami Research Laboratories
Test Information: 40 Subject Double Blind Placebo Controlled Crossover Study
Results: Due to patient compliance problems the final subject count was only 24. Patients showed marked improvement using the Wellness Shower, but due to the low subject count the statistician declared the findings inconclusive. We will be re-running the test in Gainesville, Florida in 2008 using a different contract research facility that can better control the subjects.
Sports Performance
In August 2006 Wellness Enterprises initiated a double-blind, placebo controlled, cross over clinical sports trial at Baylor University. The first part of the trial took 30 test subjects and exercised them to exhaustion while drinking a controlled amount (16 oz) of Wellness or Filtered water. After an appropriate hiatus, all subjects repeated the study with the other type of water. Each subject was measured for time to exhaustion, VO2 Max, serum lactate, heart rate, and blood pressure. The study was completed in January 2007.
Location: Baylor University, Center for Exercise, Nutrition, & Preventative Health Research (CENPHR)
Test Information: 30 Subject Double Blind Placebo Controlled Crossover Study
Results: Although we were optimistic, replacing 16 oz (less than 1%) of a subject's water content was not enough to show a significant difference in hydration. Wellness will be repeating the study on a more basic level to measure the difference in hydration over a 2 week period drinking a controlled amount of each type of water. Once the hydration parameters have been set we will go back and do another sports performance and cellular detoxification study.
Cellular Detoxification
The second part of the Baylor University clinical sports trials took the 30 test subjects that had been exercised to exhaustion and monitored the rate lactic acid was excreted out of their cells through serum lactate testing as they drank a controlled amount of Wellness water or Filtered water. The downward trends were plotted, showing the rate of excretion of the contaminant (lactic acid) from the cells with each participant. This part of the study was also double-blind, placebo controlled and cross over, i.e., all subjects were tested with both Wellness water and filtered water.
Location: Baylor University, Center for Exercise, Nutrition, & Preventative Health Research (CENPHR)
Test Information: 30 Subject Double Blind Placebo Controlled Crossover Study
Results: Same as part 1 of Baylor Study.
Bone Density
In Spring 2006, Wellness Enterprises accepted 30 test subjects who had been routinely consuming demineralized (reverse osmosis or distilled) water and glyconutrients for more than 1 year and who had been monitoring their Bone Density levels annually. Test subjects were switched to Wellness water. We monitered their diet and exercise habits and measured their Bone Density levels annually to see if there was any statistically significant change attributable to the switch from demineralized water to Wellness water.
Test Information: 30 Subject Pre-clinical, Open Study
Status: The study was completed in May 2007 and the majority of the data has been compiled. We are currently waiting for our statistician to finalize the data compilation and report back his findings for all patients, but initial results appear very positive! A full report is expected by the end of the year.
Over the past 20 years the Wellness Filter® has received the praise and endorsement of a number of prestigious Japanese companies, physicians and institutions. In 1999 the Smithsonian Institute invited the Wellness Filter® to be part of an exhibit on "Alternative Health & Natural Medicine" --the first time a water filter was ever honored in this way. Since being introduced in the US for the first time in the year 2000, the Wellness Filter® has gained support for its superior performance and enhancement abilities. Below are a few of the endorsements that have been received. |
