The Series 5
This is our flagship drinking water filter and is a great place to start for people who want to experience the benefits of naturally energised, 'wetter' water for the first time.
The Series 5 incorporates over twenty years of experience in the science of natural water ionization and filter design.
"We think anyone who is fighting a health condition or who is seeking the maximum preventative healthcare should own of these amazing systems."
B. Clement
Hippocrates Health Institute - Palm Beach, Florida
It is ideal if you are seeking to replace or upgrade an existing filter with an easier to use, higher performance system.
New advances in technology means the Series 5 offers significantly improved contaminant removal protection and even higher water quality than previous systems.
|
"Since 1999 I have owned every Wellness Filter including the Wellness Home. The new Wellness Series 5 exceeds all filters that have come before. Every aspect has been improved - used cartridges are so easy to change, the digital display is very clear, simple and it looks very elegant too. But, it is the taste of the water that exceeds all expectations. Softer, wetter, sweeter. Simply outstanding."
J.B - Sydney

Please find in the tabs below a brief summary of the key features in the Series 5 and Series 5 PRO range.

|
Healthier Ionized Water
The secret to why Wellness® is so highly recommended is simple - it is the unique quality of the filtered water it produces. Water that is wetter, softer and easier to drink. Water that is ionized naturally (without using electricity) and 'energetically' cleansed with our unique magnetic array cleansing technology.
To find out more about our unique water enhancement process see - How it Works
Premium or Elite?
What makes this all possible is our LivingWater® volcanic mineral energising cartridge. The Series 5 and Series 5 PRO is available with a choice of two type energisers - Premium or Elite - each one designed to suit both your needs and budget.

Naturally Alkaline
Some people believe water with a higher than average pH is healther. If you think your water needs an alkaline boost you can now raise water pH the way Nature intended - naturally.
To increase alkalinitysimply add our Alkaline Booster Cartridge "E" containing natural pH boosting calcium and magnesium minerals. This is how alkaline water is produced in Nature and, unlike other processes, waters delicate energetic balance is maintained.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Municipal water pH is generally within a very healthy pH range of 6.5 to 8.0. We only recommend using the Alkaline Cartridge if incoming water is mineral deficient, such as rainwater or if using demineralised water from Reverse Osmosis systems.
DUE TO POTENTIAL DISRUPTION OF DIGESTIVE FUNCTIONS WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING ALKALINE BOOSTING CARTRIDGES ON MUNICIPAL WATER SOURCES WHERE PH IS 7.0 OR HIGHER.

|
Cartridge Health Monitor
With the Series 5 you never need to worry about drinking water from a cartridge past its use-by-date or be left wondering when a cartridge change is due.
An attractive, easy to read digital display constantly monitors water flow and filter life right down to the individual cartridge level.
The status-life bar slowly decreases with time and water use so that when a cartridge change is due an audible alarm will sound and flash to remind you to replace.
|
 |
|
Customisable
It doesn't matter if your water is from a municipal, tank or well source, or if your preference is for fluoride in or fluoride removal, the Series 5 can be quickly and easily configured to meet your specific needs.
The Series 5 is a multi-stage filtration system with anywhere from five and up to nine (Series 5 PRO + Fluoride Free) individual cartridge stages.
Cartridges are interchangeable and upgradeable so the unit can be tailored to suit your individual water quality needs..
|
 |
|
One-Touch Change
Our filters are designed using a 'one twist' system so they can be easily changed by anyone aged from eight to eighty. No plumber or specialist tools are required.
All cartridges are colour coded and clearly labelled so identifying which cartridge goes where could not be easier. And, when it comes time to change cartridges the Series 5 is safer too.
All filtration media (the stuff inside the cartridge that captures all the nasties) is enclosed within its own sanitary housing. Bacteria, E.Coli and Cysts are safely locked away so you don't have to worry about accidental contamination. Simply twist, click, pull and replace.
No plumber. No mess. No fuss. No Worries.

Flexible Installation Options
The Series 5 is designed to cater to both home owners, renters, caravans, campers and boats.
It can be easily installed as a countertop filter one day and converted at anytime to an undersink unit attaching to dedicated drinking water faucets and ultra-modern three and four way mixer taps.
We can even supply the necessary fittings so you can make additional connection to an underbench chiller, boiler, fridge and ice-maker.

BugFree BioSafe
No matter what contaminant might accidentally creep into your water supply from broken pipes or a breakdown at the processing plant a Series 5 will protect the quality and safety of your drinking water.
Space-age 'hollow fibre' technology in the Series 5 offers 0.2 micron virus level filtration performance. You and your family are protected from the widest possible range of bacterial contaminants including, E.Coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
In ordinary water filters the lines that carry filtered water can sometimes become host to biofilm (an algal like) contamination. The Series 5 range incorporates BioSilver impregnated hoses that eliminate this problem.
Silver is the smarter way to prevent biofilm growth and Series 5 uses its unique antimicrobial properties to create a lasting barrier of protection.

Note: All tests in accordance with NSF/ANSI standards 42 & 53 for reduction of the substances listed. The concentration of the individual substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in the NSF 42 & 53 standard.
1. Percent reduction reflects the allowable claims for Volatile Organic Chemicals/Compounds as per NSF/ANSI 53 Standard, Section 7.2.4.1.
2. The carbon block in the Wellness Series 5 is rated for 1 micron nominal filtration. The 'Hollow Fibre' Cartridge 'C' is rated at 1 micron absolute and 0.2 microns nominal. Performance claim for Cysts is based on NSF/ANSI 53 challenge protocol 7.3.2.2.4.3, which requires reduction of particles in the range of 3 +/- .15 micron. Performance claim for E.Coli is based on NSF/ANSI 53 challenge protocol 7.3.2.2.4.3, which requires reduction of particles in the range of 1 +/- .15 micron. Performance claim for Asbestos based on NSF/ANSI 53 challenge protocol 7.3.1.4.3, which requires reduction of particles greater than 10 micron in length.
a. Chloroform was used as a surrogate for claims of reduction of VOCs. Cartridges tested at >99.8% actual reduction of Chloroform. Maximum allowable for claim under standard.
b. Filter life will vary in proportion to the level of impurities in the water being treated. For optimum performance replace filter: (a) annually; (b) at 3,600 Litres; (c) the flow rate diminishes; (d) the filter becomes saturated with bad tastes and odors
c. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary. * These contaminants not necessarily present in your tap water.

Undersink Option
To save valuable kitchen counter space the Series 5 can be installed either above or below the kitchen counter. All you need to do is select the Undersink Kit option and add your Faucet of choice.
Installing undersink opens up a wide range of dedicated drinking and mixing faucet options plus you can also make a secondary connections from the filter to your fridge/ice maker, chiller or boiler d
If you purchase a standard Countertop unit today don't worry as you can convert to an undersink installation at any point in time in the future.
Installation
The compact dimensions of Series 5 means it can be easily installed in even the smallest spaces with typical installation times of around 60 to 90 minutes, depending on individual circumstances
While the system is capable of being self-installed we strongly recommend using a plumber. The Undersink Adaptor Kit has all the parts needed to quickly connect to the filter up to your cold water supply..
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your cold water line is 'hard copper' with no flexible hose connectors to your cold water tap then a plumber is required by law to install.

Elite Energiser
The Elite is the ultimate water energising cartridge. It is based on the original Physicians Choice® - a super premium filter that originally sold for over $2,500.
The Elite is packed with more than twice the volume of rare volcanic media found in our Premium model and contains a significantly stronger Magnetic Activation process.
This increased level of natural energy enables the Elite to produce an even 'wetter' water with up to 50% more healthy negative ions.
“The Wellness Filter is the best water filter I have ever seen. The wave energy (negative ions and antioxidants) are the highest I have ever seen. While Reverse Osmosis or Distilled water is very clean it is energetically 'dead water' and not very healthy. None [other water filters] come close to the Wellness Filter."
Dr. T. Hotta
Hotta Clinic - Japan
The Elite is often chosen by healthcare professionals for use in clinics and by users who want toe experience the ultimate energised water experience.
The Series 5 Elite is priced from A$995

Future Proof Technology
The Series 5 is so future proof that, when combined with our exclusive LifeTime Worldwide Warranty, you will never have to purchase another water filter again.
Here are just a few examples of how the Series 5 can be upgraded:
- The standard Countertop Series 5 can be installed below the bench by simply adding an Undersink Kit of your choice
- Premium systems can be upgraded to an Elite at anytime.
- If you purchase a Series 5 today it can be converted for fluoride removal in the future with our PRO Upgrade Pack.

Premium Energiser
The Premium is our most popular model and is based on the original Wellness Filter® and its breakthrough natural water ionizing technology.
Released in Japan over twenty-five years ago the original Wellness Filter® kicked off a Japanese water and health revolution and has been installed in numerous hospitals, clinics, care facilities, medical and recreational bathing spas and well over half a million homes.
"Within two to three minutes of drinking there is a change in the electromagnetic field of the cells. All doctors at the institute spent a night observing these effects on their own cells after drinking 16oz. (500ml) of Wellness water.... wheat grass grows 25-30% faster and we reap greater quantities per tray."
B. Clement
Hippocrates Health Institue - Palm Beach, Florida
The Premium is designed for eveyrday use and is ideal for the majority of users.
"The filtered water is awesome - so refreshing, "wet" and it swallows so smoothly without that bloated, heavy feeling. I am sure that I will benefit from this water for years to come..."
G. Leippi - Australia
The Series 5 Premium is priced from A$695
