About Us

Water, like air, is a necessity of human life. The human body is 2/3 water, and this fact alone shows just how important healthy drinking water is for us. Every cell in our bodies needs water to function properly. Without water there would be no people, no animals, no plants. To maintain all bodily functions, a human needs up to 3 liters/5 pints of fluids a day.

There is growing concern about the availability of safe drinking water, particularly after September eleven incident. This is because our drinking waters could be polluted or poisoned by terrorists or terrorist acts. World Health Organization statistics show that at least thirty percent (30%) of deaths in Asia are attributed to infections arising from unsafe water. Today, one of the most serious challenges to a person's health is the quality of water he drinks. Therefore, one would expect to use filtered bottled water or water flowing through taps via a filtered media like activated carbon.

Activated carbon plays a vital role in the removal of contaminants found in drinking water & air. It is effective in reducing the quantity of lead and chlorine found in water and contaminants in emissions. Activated carbon is one of the widely used adsorbent for the purification of drinking water.
