Creates Pure - Safe - Living Water

The Aquarius M25 Water System uses filtration and minerals to produce pure alkaline ionised energise structured hydrogen rich water without the use of electricity. Ten different types of minerals combined in an advanced five-stage system transform tap water into a vital source of health.
Each subsequent filtration stage significantly improves the drinking quality of your tap water. This system effectively removes harmful substances and replaces them with minerals and trace elements that are essential for your health.

Health-oriented effects of the filters

The cartridges should be replaced every 12 months.

  • Filter A

    Removes larger particles and suspended matter from water, including dirt, silt, rust, corrosion, sand, algae, sediment, scale particles, and cloudiness.

  • Filter B

    German GUR ultra-polymer polyethylene production of carbon rods, pores developed, powder content of 20%, combines with the US multi functional MOX defluorosor absorbent removes fluoride efficiently.

  • Filter C

    Small particles and 100% chlorine are removed, as are microorganisms and bacteria, while important minerals and trace elements are preserved.

    Advanced Heavy Metal Filter
    Filters heavy metals ions like lead, mercury, pentavalent arsenic, chromium and cadmium.
    Filters sediments such as rust, particles, sand and lead in the water. It removes organic chemical substances such as chlorine, detergent, THM, pigment and carcinogens. Hence, it alone acts like a 2-Stage Sediment/Carbon filter. Foul smell is also eliminated, leaving fresh tasting water for your consumption.

  • Filter D

    Removes major contaminants down to 0.01 microns.
    Removes Chlorine, bad taste, odour and organic chemicals.
    Removes lead, albumin protein, viruses, cysts, bacteria, colloidal silica, mercury and chlorine taste and odour.
    A water ultrafiltration (UF) system is an effective way to remove solids and particulates from your water. Ultrafiltration systems remove all suspended particulate in water to 0.01 micron on a microscopic scale.

    Ultrafiltration removes any suspended particulate larger than 0.01 micron, such as viruses or living organisms.

    Although it cannot remove dissolved minerals, ultrafiltration can remove lead, albumin protein, viruses, cysts, bacteria, colloidal silica, mercury, and chlorine taste and odour. Removes chlorine, fluorides, and heavy metals from water, enhancing its taste.

  • Filter E

    Supply essential alkaline minerals to alkalise and ionise the water and create hydrogen rich water.
    Makes the water alkaline and antioxidant naturally. It supplies essential minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium and silica to promote healthy cells, bones, joints, organs and skin. Furthermore, it decreases the size of water molecule clusters with abundance of negative ions.

  • Aquarius Quantum Vortex Filter
    This revolutionary technology raises water’s vibrational frequency, restructuring it into “Living Water” for deeper hydration, faster absorption, natural descaling,  and perfect pH balance.
    It clears tap water’s chaotic memory,  transforming it into beautifully structured, energy-balanced and energy-aligned structured water. This means deeper hydration, a powerful boost to your natural life force, and real support for vibrant health at a cellular level.

    The Future of Water Starts Now. Tap Into Higher Vibrations.

Installation is simple.

There are 3 possible connections:
Option A: Bench Top, the unit connects to your sink tap directly.
Option B: Under Sink with a faucet tap or a 3 Way Mixer Tap.

One appliance – Numerous benefits

The unit effectively filters many contaminants, including heavy metals, in addition to purifying, alkalising, and adding anti-oxidants and hydrogen to the water.
It provides its users with smooth tasting ionised water that restores the human body's acid-alkaline balance and provides it with concentrated calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Water prepared in an ioniser has an advantageous, very low negative ORP ranging from -300 to -600 mV.

The Aquarius Water is a fantastic 5-stage filter system that uses ten different minerals that have been scientifically combined to convert regular tap water into alkaline, ionised hydrogen-rich water.

The Replacement Cartridges combine ingredients to remove chlorine, fluoride, bacteria, and other potentially harmful substances from tap water, transforming it into delicious, antioxidant- and ion-rich drinking water.

So, What exactly Is a Micron Rating?

Our System has a 0.01 micron filtration!

The average size of the openings between filter media pieces is measured in microns. A 20-micron filter, for example, has larger openings than a 5-micron filter. As a result, the 20-micron filter element will allow larger particles to pass through than the 5-micron media.

Bacteria range in size from 0.2 to 2 microns in width or diameter and 1 to 10 microns in length for non-spherical bacteria, so a 1-micron filter will remove the vast majority of bacteria and cysts. If you use municipal tap water, the water has already been treated with chlorine and chloramines to remove bacteria, so unless there is a problem with the water pipes between the water plant and your home, you should not have a bacteria problem.

If you have a bacteria problem and are using well water, installing a 1-micron water filter at the point of use will remove the majority of the bacteria (99.9%), but if your water has tested positive for bacteria, you don't have to worry because The Aquarius System can purify the water while also removing chlorine and pharmaceutical drugs.

As a general rule, the lower the micron rating of a filter, especially if you are using well water, the better, but as with most things, there is a trade-off.
Flow capability usually decreases as the micron rating decreases, especially if the water contains a lot of sediment, which well water frequently does.

To overcome sediment-caused flow rate issues, low micron-rating filters must include larger elements, such as a sediment pre-filter to remove larger particles that clog the 1-micron filter and reduce water flow. For example, run the water through a 20-micron sediment pre-filter, then a 5-micron filter, and finally a 1-micron and a sub-micron filter. This process increases the life of all filters, including those that remove disinfection chemicals and byproducts, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, THMs, and other water pollutants.

The Aquarius System removes several contaminants, including chloramine, fluoride, and nitrates.

Our Aquarius water system employs ten different minerals combined in five distinct filters to effectively purify and eliminate harmful chemicals, bacteria, and parasites, resulting in clear and refreshing alkaline water with numerous health benefits.

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

AMAZING debut novel!!!
Format: Kindle
Plot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice 🌶️🌶️.5 Romance 💘💘💘 Vibes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dual 1st person POV - Ara (26) & Rogue (39 - but looks mid-20s: they can live hundreds of years so this isn't that large of a gap as it could've been which I heavily appreciate lol) Tropes: enemies to lovers, fae/human wars (deep hatred for each other), shifters (dragons- MMC can only partial shift with wings), one horse, one bed, touch her and d!e, found family, abduction turned to freedom The Last Storm is the debut novel from JD Linton and let me tell you, you guys NEED to read this. The plot was engaging and the editing was was amazing (especially for a debut novel). Our FMC, Ara, is stuck in her gilded cage longing for a life outside of her small town. She uses her books to escape and live vicariously through the pages (honestly, relatable). After her father announces her betrothal to her childhood friend (to whom she has no romantic feelings for), Ara tumbles unknowingly into a desperate plot trying to stop the humans from slaughtering the Fae. As one can expect from an enemies to lovers / kidnapper/captive romance, Ara fights her attraction and lust towards our MMC, Rogue (the King of the Fae), for as long as she can. Upon seeing Ara for the first time, Rogue is instantly aware that she is his fated mate (not a spoiler). Since she is the General's only daughter, he plans to abduct her and use her as leverage to stop the brutality. During Ara's time in Rogue's captivity, their banter and chemistry continue to rise until they finally boil over and come together (quite literally, and many times I may add 😉). Here's what I LOVED: - Rogue continuously seeks advice from his elders and deeply respects their opinions and life experience and tries to implement their recommendations - Rogue makes many mistakes in the beginning but we see him actively work on not repeating them as the book progresses. The level of self-awareness and his ability to change his behavior was impressive - The magic system is intricate and we have only scraped the surface. As the series continues and Ara progresses in her powers, I'm sure we'll get to see more of this. I absolutely LOVE the messaging system that is used in this book. - Ara's struggles are so human and so raw. She is experiencing so much guilt and pain and hurt and getting to see her work through each of these emotions is inspiring. Especially as her and Rogue get closer and she learns she can lean on him as well, that she is not alone. - While this is the start of a series, there is NO cliffhanger! There's a bit of a teaser of something major that is going to happen at the start of the next book, but it's not a cliffhanger in the sense that we aren't sure if someone is going to live or d!e or if they'll be separated. For that, I am very thankful! This book was so much fun that I will definitely be returning to book 2, even if it takes several months (or longer since this is an debut author) to publish! - Lastly, the cover is GORGEOUS! And I love the title! I'll copy a few of my favorite quotes below so you can have a little taste of the author's writing and the world she's cultivated. 😊 Top Highlights from The Last Storm On days like this, when my heart was heavy and my mind clouded, I resorted to books— to escape, to forget, to find freedom where I had none. If I were to marry him, my face would always be turned to the window, searching for more, and if not that, I would be a shell of the person I am now. I stepped back to admire her, thr0bbing at the sight. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. To ever exist. Nothing, no one, had ever deserved to be worshiped more. All men should be made to kneel before her. But she would have to settle for me. The taste of her met my t0ngue as my scent merged with hers, forever branding her. Mine. I l!cked the wound. Hers. Completely and utterly hers. I didn’t claim her in ownership. I claimed her as my one. Devoted myself to one. With that mark, my body and soul were bound to her. I would never be with anyone else, emotionally or physically. It would be her or no one, until my last breath. “Scream my name. Let everyone know who I belong to.” I had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and I was grateful to see another calm morning. “There will never be another woman for me.” He paused. “Ever.” I stilled at his words. “What… Why?” “This”— his thumb slid down across the mark—“ is a symbol of… surrender. I know you believe that it was my claim upon you, but it wasn’t. It never was. I bound my body and soul to you, little storm.” “I also know that it is more than this tiny, insignificant mark on your skin that binds me to you. It’s you. All of you. Your strength and resilience. Your determination to endure no matter what fate throws at you. Your love for love and stories and hope. You are entirely the opposite of everything that I am and I would gladly wear your shackles if it meant I could have you.” My mate. Mine. And then everything shifted and I understood. I understood everything. The surrender. The deep, soul-craving longing. Bound. I was bound to him. Body and soul. Entirely his. “I would’ve waited forever,” he whispered back, understanding. Seriously, everyone.. add this to your TBR!!

A Decent Fae Romance
Format: Kindle
** 3.5 Stars rounded up to 4 ** First off I want to say that I found the author, J. D. Linton, on TikTok right before the release of the sequel. I bought the first 2 books to support her release, so congrats to her for the release of the sequel! Overall, I liked the story & plot, I liked the characters, and I liked the spice. The downfalls: not enough development between the characters for the romance, and it leaned a little heavy into the tropes. A lot of stuff is told to you, which could have been used as devices to drive the plot and emotions of the characters. 🛑🛑 Mild Spoilers ahead, I tried to hide the obvious ones 🛑🛑 This is very obviously a fated mates, which is a trope I usually really enjoy. But I wish the relationship between Ara & Rogue had much more development before it's realized that they're mates, instead of Rogue knowing almost immediately and using it for nefarious purposes (at least in the beginning before they get to know each other). By revealing this within the first quarter of the book, I feel like it leaves less room for them to fall for each other organically (albeit with help from the mating bond) and they love each other because of the mating bond. I was disappointed as soon as Rogue know (literally only 5% in) and I literally made a note: "As much as II love a good mating trope, I wish we had to work for it a little more. Where's the fun in just telling us?" I believe that by holding out and feeding the reader snippets of a potential bond, it would've been more rewarding as a reader. I also wish there was more world building - we are told of a war between human & fae but don't get to really experience any of it. Ara is sheltered in her human home, then sheltered in Rogue's castle. There's bits and pieces about what the war has done on either side - but we're more told of the aftermath and don't really experience any of it. Ara's father is supposed to be the king's #1 general - yet he is at home with his family & with Ara for the first couple chapters. Her, her family, nor her village seem to be affected by the 10 year war going on on their borders. I wish there was a little more setup to make this conflict - an actual war - feel more than a skirmish between fighting territories. Linton could also be a little repetitive - with the biggest culprit being when Ara is upset she "brings [her] knees to [her] chest]" and either sits like that or cries. Every time she is upset this phrase is mentioned. I would get it if this was her crutch, or how she copes with grief and stress, but that should be explained why she does it so often or it becomes repetitive. I started to get annoyed with how often she would sit like this solely because it happens every couple chapters. However, I did really like the spice. I love an enemies to lovers trope, especially when it results in spicy scenes. The spicy scenes weren't anything new, but they were fun. Wish there were more but that could also just be me - there is no such thing as too much spice 😂 Would I read again? Probably not, I'm super picky with rereads. Although I did genuinely enjoy my first read through! Will I continue the series? Probably, at least for the sequel. As for #3, kind of depends on where I am with my TBR once that is released All in all an enjoyable, fast paced read

I love indie authors
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying—writing a book is HARD! Coming up with characters so real that they take on a life of their own, building an entire world, the political/magic system. Designing all of this is no easy feat. That being said. This book had so. Much. Potential. I was so excited to read this book, and I plan to finish it for the sake of finishing it. But. At this point, I would have set I’d aside as a DNF. The book could have benefited from some form of a developmental editor, or an in depth beta reader. I will say this. Within 5 chapters, there are so many… phrases that I’ve highlight that I’ve latched onto. Phrases about books and storms that were written BEAUTIFULLY! So, bravo Linton for hitting the nail on the head as to why readers disappear like they do! However, 5 chapters in and I can already guess where a majority of the story is going. But that’s also because I read like a mad-woman and have read this particular type of story, many different ways. Enemies to lovers where the FMC isn’t who she thinks she is. I am all about supporting indie authors. BUT. I also feel like criticism should be constructive, and not degrading. So if I could give this book a 4 1/2, strictly because I know the work the author put into this, I would. So if you’re looking for an easy read with characters that aren’t hard to follow, look no further! They are easy to love and easy to care for. One of the biggest issues they lacked, to me, was depth and plausible reactions to their situations. JD, you have done BEAUTIFULLY writing this book. I applaud and will continue to buy your books in the future. My BIGGEST recommendation is to definitely hire some form of an editor for any upcoming books. Or in turn, I will be happy to beta read for you. Should my opinion change of the book by the time I finish, I will happily get on here and say I was wrong, delete this review and post a different one. Until then…
