Filtering water focuses on treating less than 1% of total water, ignoring the rest. Crystal microscopy and spectroscopy show how pumping, chemicals, and filtering degrade water. Water revitalization restores water's natural abilities, addressing issues that filtration alone cannot.

Proper water structuring deals directly with restoring the whole water and removes the toxic signature (identified by 90 degree crystal growth) resulting from modern methods of water handling. Filtration does not address this issue and can further add a degrading effect to the water. Water revitalization not only deals with altering the degree of EZ water (a term coined by Dr. Gerald Pollack referring to super-facial structure changes which occur in water, having strong correlations with hexagonal water) but also alters the structure of the whole water body, its behavior, and influence on solutes in the water to make them more bio-available or bio-removable from any system. Alone, or when combined with filtering, water can be returned to its natural state. Through simple and cost effective means, water revitalization technologies can render significant benefits wherever the water flows by bringing its natural function back to a higher degree of efficiency.
