With 68 judges determined only to pick the best of the best, Diamond Energy Water System proved that its technological achievements were indeed superior when it won both the Gold Medal in the Health Food & Drink Category and a Special Commendation Award from the Jury. It was an historic achievement; the first time any Malaysian product had ever won two such prestigious honours at the same awards show.
Diamond Energy Water System emerged triumphant by winning the Gold Medal in the Daily Utilities Category. The system also made history by becoming the first-ever water system to bag a Special Jury Award. This recognition only serves to take Diamond Energy Water System further, proving that it is indeed the best health water brand around with superior health benefits to raise the standard of living for consumers both in Malaysia, and around the world.
- Water Quality Association (WQA) Gold Seal Award
Diamond Energy Water System has also been awarded the Gold Seal from the highly-regarded United States Water Quality Association (WQA) in recognition of its reliability, safety and filtration performance. WQA is also well-known for its in-depth knowledge and technological advancements in improving water quality management. Diamond Energy Water System was put through 4 tests by the WQA. These involved:
- Performance Testing: Measures contaminant reduction capabilities over the life and capacity of the unit.
- Structural Integrity: Measures durability under pressurisation beyond the usual demands of home water systems, simulating 10 years' normal use.
- Materials Safety: Confirms a product does not add anything harmful to the water being treated.
- Literature Review: Verifies clarity and accuracy of product literature, sales and advertising copy, installation and maintenance instructions, and product labeling. Gold Seal-labelled products must meet the Water Quality Association's Code of Ethics standards.
Diamond Energy Water System successfully passed all the above tests, far exceeding the safety requirements and proving its superb quality. The system was therefore awarded a Gold Seal from the WQA, thus reaffirming consumer confidence in its reliability and performance.
- Global Golden Rim Awards – 2002
The Global Golden Rim Awards is organised by a coalition of Chinese SMIs to recognise the outstanding performance of organisations and consumer products. SMIs from all around the world participate in this prestigious event. In the 2002 Global Golden Rim Awards Diamond Energy Water System distinguished itself from their peers when it won the Global Quality Assurance Product Golden Rim Award.
A consumer survey conducted in March 2002 by Asia Marketing Intelligence Ltd., an independent market research company, concluded that Diamond Energy Water System is not just widely known, but the preferred choice of point-of-use water systems. This result was in comparison with the response garnered by other leading filtration systems in the market.
Also, the research found that 90% of Diamond Energy Water System users were very satisfied with its cleanliness, safety and health benefits.
Aquasana water filter
Third-party performance testing was done under strict industry guidelines. The AQ-4000 system is also certified by the California Department of Health for contaminant reduction claims. The Aquasana system was intentionally tested under more challenging conditions than those used by their competitors in order to document its superior capabilities under even the most extreme conditions.
For lead reduction, the Aquasana system was challenged at a level 10% higher (155-160 parts per billion) than the certification requirement of 150 ppb, and still produced lead free water throughout the 500-gallon test cycle. No other water treatment system, of any kind or at any price, has ever produced better results for lead reduction.
The performances test for the reduction of synthetic chemicals (VOCs) was also documented under more stringent conditions than normal, or than is required by certification standards. Virtually all other companies choose to have this testing performed by adding the challenge chemicals to deionised water, free from the competitive influences of sediment and chlorine. This unrealistic method is allowed under required NSF Standard #53; however, it does not represent real-life conditions. In order to demonstrate Aquasana's superior performance under real-life conditions, the system was tested by adding the challenge chemicals to regular chlorinated tap water with a moderately high turbidity (sediment) level. This method of testing is considerably more challenging, and still the Aquasana system outperformed all other brands.
Aquasana has been awarded the Consumer Digest Best Buy award for the fifth year in a row for the AQ-4000 Drinking Water. It also voted Best Buy for water filter, Consumers Digest 6 years in a row, 2003-2008. Aquasana give 60-Day 100% satisfaction guarantee or full refund.
