Konia in Smart and Sustainable Homes

2010-04-21T17:32:00.000-07:00

Sustainable Home Gold Coast was a showcase demonstration project that combined leading examples of sustainable housing design with the latest 'high-tech' household features within an affordable family dwelling.

This display house was also known locally as Innovation House 2 or IH2.

An initiative of the Gold Coast City Council, Sustainable Home Gold Coast is located at Coomera in the new 'Genesis' residential estate developed by Heritage Pacific at the northern end of Gold Coast City.Sustainable Home Gold Coast was the first project to be opened under Queensland’s Sustainable Homes program.

Sustainable Home Gold Coast displayed the 'triple bottom line' approach to housing design and construction, as it addressed the three essential smart housing elements of social, economic and environmental sustainability.

The house incorporated numerous climate smart design features, including passive design - being well-orientated with good cross-ventilation, insulation, shading and lightweight construction building materials; energy efficient skylights and natural lighting with good window design; low-toxic eco-paint; instantaneous gas hot water; high-tech underground and slimline above ground rainwater tanks; water efficient products and appliances; energy and water use monitoring system; sustainable bamboo flooring; and solar pavers that light the way to the self-opening front door at night. It showcased how a good simple design can create a home that is safe, accessible and flexible to demonstrate the considerable lifestyle and economic benefits of sustainable housing.

Sustainable Home Gold Coast also served as a physical focus for Gold Coast City Council’s WaterFutures project as it is located within the Pimpama Coomera Waterfuture Master Plan area. This estate includes waterwise design features, such as an integrated urban water management strategy that catches, stores and slowly releases stormwater, will use recycled water through 'dual reticulation' piping and will provide efficient use of rainwater both within homes and on their gardens.

The Konia system made its contribution to the sustainability targets, generating enough drinking water for the whole household. From the first innovation house in 2003 many more sustainable homes have been designed and it is encouraging to see more households duplicating this sustainable approach to their housing.

Water from Air

Water from air uses revolutionary and innovative ‘new’ technology “to make pure, clean and healthy drinking water from air”. The technology copies Mother Nature’s million year old filtration system – evaporation and condensation.

These generators convert the water vapour (humidity) in the air to water by drawing the air through a series of electrostatic and carbon air filters where it is continuously cleaned before being condensed into pure water. The water is then passed through a further series of pure water filters. The result is WATER from AIR.

Mains connected water filters

Your Konia Mains-connected water filters are design-engineered and styled for today’s modern office and home environments. The systems provide a complete eco-friendly replacement for bottled water dispensers, eliminating bulky deliveries and the need to store and dispose of water containers.

Once connected to your mains water supply, water is purified through a series of specially designed water filters and can serve the water hot or chilled. You can even add the Pi Water filter for an even healthier solution. For convenience you can easily install an on-tap water filter or choose from our series of mains connected filters.

Pi-mineral water filters

Konia’s Pi Water Filter activates purified water turning it into ‘living water’ by adding calcium, regulating natural minerals and stabilising the pH levels.

The health and wellness benefits of Pi Water have been researched since the mid-1960’s when Japanese scientists first discovered ‘living water’ contained in plants. Later research noted that Pi Water played an important role in the healthy growth of plants and animals.

Pi Water contains up to twice the oxygen levels of normal water. Its molecular make up is much smaller than that of ordinary water. These smaller water molecules are easier for your body to absorb allowing for faster and more efficient hydration, cell activation and energy levels.

Pi Water filters are easy to install and manufactured to work with Konia’s Water from Air water purifying generators and mains connected water systems.

The Effects of Bottled Water on the Environment

2009-08-10T23:08:00.000-07:00

It is hard to argue the fact that waste management has become a large problem in the world, with landfills growing to enormous sizes and recycling rates remaining dismally low. The number of plastic bottles produced by the bottled water industry and subsequently discarded by consumers has only exacerbated this problem. According to a 2001 report of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), roughly 1.5 million tons of plastic are expended in the bottling of 89 billion liters of water each year. Besides the sheer number of plastic bottles produced each year, the energy required to manufacture and transport these bottles to market severely drains limited fossil fuels.

Bottled water companies, due to their unregulated use of valuable resources and their production of billions of plastic bottles have presented a significant strain on the environment. The authors of the WWF report suggested that water bottles be washed and reused in order to lessen their negative impact on the environment. Unfortunately, reusing plastic bottles further compromises the quality of the water, due to the fact that more and more phthalate leaches its way into the water as the bottle gets older. In another suggestion, the authors recommended that bottled water companies use local bottling facilities in order to lessen fuel expenditures for transportation needs. Regrettably, local bottling further compromises water quality due to the reduced health standards for in-state bottled water production and consumption. It seems there is no feasible solution to this problem. The bottled water industry causes a severe strain on the environment, but solutions to this environmental damage significantly lessen the quality of water in the bottles.

Rainwater tanks 'full of lead and aluminium' say Australian Scientists

2009-08-06T22:16:00.000-07:00

So what are your children drinking at school?

A recent joint venture between Melbourne Monash University and CSIRO research has found the use of lead in roofs to join surfaces and channel away water elevated the risks of rainwater tanks being contaminated with lead and other heavy metals, pushing the lead content in some storage systems as high as 50 times Australia's drinking water guidelines. (http://www.csiro.au/resources/CommonRainwaterContaminants.html )

Across a broader range of roof types and tanks, one-third of those surveyed contained lead concentrations in the water exceeding safe drinking levels by up to 35 times.

"Concentrations of Aluminium, Cadmium, Iron and Zinc were also found at levels exceeding acceptable health and aesthetic levels," the study reports.

In South Australia, almost half of households use some water from tanks, and more than a fifth use them as their main source of drinking water.
Study co-author Grace Mitchell said some people also simply preferred the taste of rainwater, or considered it more natural. "It is more natural in the sense that it's not treated but in some cases that's not a good thing," she said.

With this recent study in mind, Konia Water congratulates the Australian Federal Government for the recent economic stimulus programs designed at improving ageing infrastructure within Australian Schools. This is a welcomed development and we understand that schools Australia-wide will be reviewing existing infrastructure demands including providing improved drinking water solutions for both staff and children in sports gymnasiums, cafeteria’s, staff rooms and so on. (http://www.cmd.act.gov.au/stimulus )

Water filtration systems are essential to ensure the water being consumed by tomorrow’s future is as pure as possible.

The announcement by the Federal Government is a tremendous opportunity for our schools to upgrade existing drinking water solutions using Queensland’s own Konia Water, a world leader in pure water technology.

Moving away from bottled water!

2009-08-06T21:46:00.000-07:00

Bottled water is BIG business. Recent research in the U.S suggests that by 2011, the market is
forecast to have a volume of 174,286.6 million litres, an increase of 51% since 2006. According to CHOICE com au In Australia alone we CHOICE.com.au, down more than 150 million litres a year at a cost of $123million. (http://www.choice.com.au/viewArticle.aspx?id=104793&catId=100286&tid=100008 )

Despite the creative marketing initiatives underpinning the bevy of bottled‐water varieties on offer (artesian, artesian‐well, ground, mineral, purified, sparkling and spring), the fact remains that approximately 25% of bottled water is sourced from Mains Water.
The U.S Food and Drug Administation (FDA) reports that "about 75 percent of bottled water sold in the U.S. comes from natural underground sources, which include rivers, lakes, springs and artesian wells." The other 25% comes from municipal sources, which are the “sources” of two leading brands of bottled water‐‐Dasani (Coca‐Cola) and Aquafina (PepsiCo).The FDA was quoting as saying, "Companies that market bottled water as being safer than tap water are defrauding the American public." ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5467759/ )

It also takes water to make a bottle, particularly if a Reverse Osmosis system is used to purify the water. If a container holds 1 litre it requires approximately 3 litres of water in its manufacturing. By one estimate the total amount of water used to produce and deliver one litre bottle of imported water may be as high as 6.74 litres.
Furthermore, Peter Gleick of the Pacific Institute estimates that producing the bottles for American consumption in 2006 required the equivalent of more than 17 million barrels (2,700,000 m3) of oil. Overall, the average energy cost to make the plastic, fill the bottle, transport it to market and then deal with the waste would be "like filling up a quarter of every bottle with oil."

Organisations such as The Natural Resources Defence Council, Sierra Club and World Wildlife Fund have all urged their supporters to consume less bottled water, and various campaigns against bottled water are increasingly common.
Similarly, Konia remains a passionate advocate for the reduction of consumer reliance on both
Mains Water and PET bottles. Konia WATER from AIR technology is an energy efficient, environmentally friendly solution that can provide you with pure drinking water drawn from the surrounding natural environment (http://www.konia.com.au/p2_air.html ).

Like their Water from Air cousins, Konia Mains connected systems do not produce any by-products and use the same patented technology that filters water capable of filtering out most chemicals and bacteria down to one hundredth of one millionth of one meter (0.01 micron).
Konia Water. It’s greener, it’s healthier and most importantly of all, it’s cost efficient. Now that’s
pure water innovation. (http://www.konia.com.au/p2_mains.html )
