Adya Clarity® also contains up to 80 trace minerals, including alum, cerium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lanthanum, lithium, nickel, rubidium, scandium, selenium, silicon, strontium, sulfur, titanium, and vanadium. As a natural substance, the mineral composition can vary slightly.

Adya Clarity Ionic Minerals purify water by utilizing a combination of the four stages of water purification, including coagulation, flocculation, precipitation, and deposition/sedimentation.

Stage 1: Coagulation - When you add Adya Clarity to your water, it helps to destabilize the tiny, suspended particles floating around in the water. This makes it easier to clump together those particles to separate them from the water.

Stage 2: Flocculation - With the particles now clumped together, they will begin to gather or "floc" into larger clusters. By the end of this step, the contaminants are neutralized and insoluble.

Stage 3: Precipitation - Now that the contaminants are neutralized and insoluble, they will solidify and start to fall out of the water solution. This is called precipitation.

Stage 4: Deposition or Sedimentation - The solidified contaminants will settle at the bottom of your water container and can easily filter out.

By utilizing these four stages of water purification, Adya Clarity Ionic Minerals can effectively purify water and remove harmful contaminants, making it safe for human consumption. The ionic minerals in Adya Clarity also improve the water's taste and add essential minerals to the water, making it more healthy and enjoyable to drink.

Adya Clarity® has been tested by third-party labs according to EPA and NSF/ANSI standards (when applicable) and proven to eliminate or reduce over 250 contaminants from water.

Yes. Adya Clarity traps 100% of the fluoride ions and reduces the concentration of sodium fluoride below the detection limit of EPA method 340.2 at a treatment rate of 3 tsp. per gallon or 4 ml per L.

Adya Clarity is made in our manufacturing facility here in Michigan, USA according to GMP standards.

You can use Adya Clarity to purify any water except salt water; this includes, but is not limited to, distilled water, reverse osmosis water, alkaline ionized water, toilet water, rainwater, river, lake, or pond water, or any other freshwater source.

The amount of Adya Clarity required depends on the quality and type of water being treated. The more contaminants in the water, the more Adya Clarity® you would need to treat it effectively. The standard rate is between 1-3 tsp. of Adya Clarity per gallon of water.

Please Note: If the water source is believed to be extremely contaminated by known or unknown toxic substances, proper laboratory analysis will be required to give accurate dilution rates.

Stir well to distribute the solution evenly throughout your water.

Keep your water container uncovered to allow chlorine and other gaseous contaminants like volatile organic compounds (VOC's) to dissipate entirely.

Don't refrigerate your water during the treatment process because cold temperatures slow down precipitation.

The wait time depends on the quality of the starting water. If the water you're starting with is considered to be microbiologically safe (e.g., distilled or reverse osmosis water), wait 5-15 minutes before drinking. For polluted water, the suggested wait time is 24-48 hours to ensure the neutralization of toxic contaminants.

Time-Saving Tips

• Treat two large batches of water with Adya Clarity® at the same time; that way, you'll always have one to use for drinking while the other is being treated. (1 or 2.5-gallon HDPE plastic jugs work fine and can be found at any grocery store.)
• Add Adya Clarity® to warm or hot water to help speed up the treatment process.

The effects may vary depending on what type of water you're starting with and its level of contamination. You may see the following:

Nothing
If you're starting with distilled or reverse osmosis water, there might not be enough contaminants to form precipitates. - Not all chemicals form precipitates. (i.e., Chlorine, volatile organic compounds, and other gaseous contaminants evaporate out of water.) Certain contaminants may take longer to treat, and you may not see immediate effects.

Cloudiness or a Change in Color
These are signs that dissolved contaminants are coming out of the solution. Let it sit longer until the impurities clump together and form a sediment at the bottom of your water container.

Pale Yellow Color or Sour Taste Throughout the Water
If you've let it sit for 24-48 hours and it has a pale yellow tinge or lemon flavor, you've added too much Adya Clarity®. (This generally happens when treating distilled or reverse osmosis water due to the starting pH.) Reduce the amount of Adya Clarity® by half the next time you treat your water.

What you are seeing is the final stage of Adya Clarity®'s water purification process, called deposition or precipitation whereby the precipitates (neutralized contaminants) settle and are deposited as sediment at the bottom of your water container. This sediment is completely harmless and if consumed, will pass through your body. However, you can use a water filter or pour your water through a cheesecloth or coffee filter to remove this residue.

Yes. Though it may be unpleasant to look at, it is completely harmless and will pass through your body if consumed. However, most people prefer to remove it from their water. To remove it, you can use a water filter, pour your water through a cheesecloth or coffee filter, or simply pour the top portion into a separate container leaving the residue in the bottom to discard. You can pour this on your plants instead of down the drain!

You can store your purified water in a glass, stainless steel, ceramic, or HDPE #2 BPA-free plastic container.

Yes. Heat will not affect the efficacy of Adya Clarity®. You can use it to treat your water when cooking or making beverages like coffee or tea.

What you see in your bottle of Adya Clarity is just precipitates from the solution itself. Because there is a high amount of mineral salts in Adya Clarity®, they sometimes fall (precipitate) out of the solution due to changes in temperature and/or altitude during transportation or storage. You can simply strain your solution through a colander, coffee filter, or cheesecloth to remove the precipitates or use it as is.

The Korea Ceramic Water Filter removes particulates and fine sediment and reduces any microorganism down to 0.2 microns in size, bad odors, tastes, and other organic compounds. 

Combined with Adya Clarity®, the Korea Ceramic Water Filter reduces over 250 contaminants. including pharmaceuticals drugs, agricultural and industrial chemicals, heavy metals, disinfectants, and disinfection byproducts to a concentration less than or equal to NSF/EPA permissible standards.

When used in conjunction with Adya Clarity, the Korea Ceramic Water Filter reduces the concentration of sodium fluoride below the detection limit of EPA method 340.2.

Yes. The Korea Ceramic Water Filter is made of food-grade high-density polyethylene (HDPE) #2 BPA-free plastic.

The filter in the top tank is composed of highly compressed ceramic with an absolute pore size of 0.2 microns, while most bacteria and protozoa are 0.5 – 1.0 microns in diameter. The filter’s first filtration stage traps bacteria, protozoa, particles, and other contaminants from entering the 4-Layer Earth Filter in the bottom tank for further filtration. 

The filter in the bottom tank comprises four layers of activated carbon, zeolites, silica sand, and ion exchange resin that trap bacteria, protozoa, and other contaminants and help reduce bad odors, tastes, and other compounds.

Activated Carbon has been used since ancient times (1200 BC) to purify water. Activated carbon is “activated” by heat and oxygen to create a high surface area that absorbs a broad range of contaminants frequently found in water.

Zeolites are microporous, aluminosilicate minerals with a unique cage-like structure that makes them useful in many ways, especially in water filters. Their ion exchange and absorption properties reduce odor and clean heavy metals and other natural compounds from water.

Silica sand is commonly used in water filters because of its highly absorbent qualities to remove granular contaminants, suspended solids, and colloids.

Ion Exchange Resin In water purification, ion exchange resin is used to remove poisonous and heavy metal ions, replacing them with more harmless ions, such as sodium or potassium.

• Check that the spigot and spigot nut aren’t over-tightened, and the silicon rings are correctly aligned on each side of the spigot.
• Empty the bottom tank. Dry the silicon rings and the area they attach to on the tank completely, then reattach and tighten; if the silicon rings are even slightly wet, it will cause the spigot to leak.

If the filtration system is filtering slower than usual, check to see if it’s time to clean the Micro-Ceramic Filter or if more water is needed in the top tank; because the system is gravity-fed, the more water in the top tank, the faster it will filter.

Clean your filter tanks every few months or as often as needed. Wash with warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly.

Store your filter in a cool, shady place. Don't keep your filter in bright sunlight, since the bright light and warmth help algae grow. Algae spores are in the air and may be present in your tap water. The blue/green algae most commonly seen is not harmful to your health, and it can be removed from your filter system with a proper cleaning of your system.

Clean your Adya Water Filter System thoroughly using mild soap and warm water. Do not clean in a dishwasher.

The Korea Ceramic Water Filter System is made in South Korea.

The Micro-Ceramic Replacement Filter should be replaced once a year or 1,000 gallons.

The 4-Layer Earth Replacement Filter should be replaced once every 6 months or 500 gallons.

Soak both filters in cold water for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Micro-Ceramic Replacement Filter 

• Attach the o-ring to the filter.
• Insert the filter into the top tank and fasten it with the nut. Do not over-tighten.

4-Layer Earth Replacement Filter 

• After soaking, flush the filter by holding it upright under cold running water for approx. 15 seconds and allow excess water to drain off.
• Twist the filter counterclockwise into the plastic plate.

Clean the Micro-Ceramic Replacement Filter by gently wiping with a wet sponge on all sides when you start to see an orange film build-up. Do not use soap. Keep a sponge set aside for cleaning this filter that never has had soap on it. The 4-Layer Earth Replacement Filter requires no maintenance.

Extended exposure to direct sunlight may result in algae growth. If this occurs, gently wipe and rinse the filter with cold water. (Discoloration on the filter will not affect its performance.)

Both replacement filters are made in South Korea.
