The exclusive 3-stage IDF process used by the innowave 240 combines distillation with ion exchange and carbon filtration to clean drinking water. The innowave 240 is the most tested distillation product and yields the safest drinking water currently marketed in the United States. According to the tests conducted by Dr. Charles Gerba, Professor of Environmental Microbiology in the Departments of Microbiology and Immunology, and Soil, Water, and Environmental Sciences at the University of Arizona, the innowave 240 meets the U.S. EPA Standards for Microbiological Water Purifiers - the highest standards to remove or reduce emerging pathogens. The unit is tested and certified by NSF International against ANSI/NSF Standard 62 - Drinking Water Distillation Systems.

The innowave uvf point-of-use water treatment unit combines micron and carbon filters with UV light technology to clean drinking water. The micron filtration removes the smallest remaining particles and ensures clean water. The carbon filtration traps contaminants, improves taste and odor and removes organic contaminants. The UV light destroys viruses and bacteria. The innowave uvf is tested and certified by NSF International against ANSI/NSF Standard 55: Disinfectant Performance, Class B for the reduction of non-pathogenic microorganisms; and ANSI/NSF Standard 42 for aesthetic effects.

Both the innowave 240 and the innowave uvf successfully reduce E. coli, cryptosporidium, giardia, cholera, polio, rotavirus and klebsiella terrigena. Both units can reduce bacteria 99.9999 percent; viruses 99.99 percent and parasites 99.9 percent.
