innowave Sets Standard For Drinking Water Safety

(OMAHA, Neb.) - Providing the safest possible drinking water is the goal of innowave incorporated, a leading water technology company and subsidiary of the Mutual of Omaha Companies.

The patented innowave 240 uses a hybrid three-stage process that removes virtually all microbiological, organic and inorganic contaminants from drinking water, said Tom Weekly, president and chief executive officer of innowave.

"The innowave 240, which treats and dispenses drinking water, has undergone extensive laboratory testing by three different independent labs, and all have found that it effectively removes more than 99 percent of chemical and biological contaminants in water," Weekly said.

"As more and more scientific studies and news reports raise concerns about the long-term safety of tap water, we find that many consumers and employers want to take personal responsibility for their drinking water. The innowave 240 allows them to do just that," he said.

In extensive testing at the University of Arizona, the innowave 240 removed 99.9999 percent of bacteria and 99.99 percent of viruses from the water it treated. "Separate tests have shown the innowave 240 to be equally effective on organic and inorganic contaminants such as lead, nitrate, arsenic, mercury and more than 20 other potentially harmful substances," Weekly said.

"The innowave 240 truly represents state-of-the-art water treatment technology that we can deliver to a business, office or home in a convenient, cost-effective way," he said.

"innowave's self-contained ‘point-of-use' water treatment system uses a hybrid three-stage process that combines distillation with water-softening ion exchange and carbon filtration to remove virtually all contaminants and provide safe, healthful drinking water," he said.

The innowave 240 replaces the traditional water cooler or water fountain commonly found in offices and businesses. The compact unit fits in any office setting and cleanses water where it is used, ensuring an automatic and continuous supply of safe drinking water. It treats up to eight gallons of drinking water each day and offers three dispenser choices: cold, hot and room temperature water.

"In addition to the innowave 240, designed primarily to dispense pure drinking water in office, industrial or retail environments, the innowave 1800 commercial unit provides up to 60 gallons of distilled water a day for medical, laboratory and industrial applications and the company is preparing to introduce the innowave 360 for the home market," Weekly said.

innowave products are marketed through a network of independent dealers.
