Without a doubt, oxygen is the most important element for life. At the cellular level, NUTRIENTS + OXYGEN = ENERGY. So to support cellular energy, which translates to health and wellness, the body must have adequate oxygen to metabolize the food, the drink and the chemicals we breathe and ingest.
What is Chronic Oxygen Debt Syndrome?
Basic chemistry reveals that organic material requires oxygen to decompose. The same is true inside your body. Chronic Oxygen Debt Syndrome (CODS) is the result of an imbalance of organics (everything you eat, drink and breathe) and OXYGEN over a long period of time. Research indicates that CODS is the primary cause of a multitude of illnesses, obesity and depression.
I thought water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. Why would I need more?
You are correct: water IS made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This combination of atoms is known as the chemical property of water. But the physical properties of water are different. These properties include, among other things, temperature, pH, purity, and oxygen saturation. Water may have little oxygen (as from a water well) to an abundance of oxygen, such as rainwater.
What is The Big Pitcher?
The Big Pitcher is a small electric appliance that oxygenates and purifies your drinking water. It holds about 64 ounces (1/2 gallon) of water. It operates anywhere there's an electrical outlet without the hassle of filters or faucet attachments. There are three parts: the Base, the Pitcher and the Lid. The Big Pitcher carries a 1-year limited warranty.
Why should I drink water with oxygen?
It is a medical fact that our bodies need oxygen for healthy living. Because of lifestyle choices, our cells usually demand more oxygen than our pulmonary systems can deliver. TheBigPitcher is a convenient and safe way to supplement your body's oxygen.
Why would you drink water with no to low oxygen if you have the choice?
You shouldn't! Your drinking water should have the highest possible natural saturation of oxygen, which is about 11 parts per million. We've designed a durable, attractive appliance to add the maximum, safe amount of oxygen to your drinking water.

I use a filtration unit for my drinking water at home. What does your product remove that isn't already removed with the filter?
The Big Pitcher eliminates the bad taste caused by chlorine, radon, fluoride and sulfur gases, as well as particulates that make water "hard". It adds something very important to drinking water that our bodies need for health: OXYGEN. Remember, carbon filtration REMOVES OXYGEN from water. It is the chemical nature of carbon.
What's wrong with just drinking tap water since it's pretty inexpensive?
For less than 10 cents you can have your recommended 64 ounces of tap water per day. But if oxygen supplementation is your goal, which it should be, tap water typically has less than 2 parts per million dissolved oxygen, plus lots of chlorine. Oxygenate your tap water with The Big Pitcher and enjoy the refreshing taste of 11 parts per million dissolved oxygen with no chlorine!
Does The Big Pitcher purify water?
Yes, but a better description might be that it "polishes" your drinking water. The Big Pitcher purifies but does not purify as effectively as filtration or reverse osmosis. It should not be substituted for your filtration system. The ideal is to complement purified water with The Big Pitcher. For those who require very pure drinking water, distilled is the purest water available. Even more important is that The Big Pitcher oxygenates your water.
My doctor said the GI tract does not absorb oxygen from water and that drinking oxygen-rich water is a waste of time and money. Why would he say this?
It is true that your GI tract is not designed to absorb gases such as oxygen. But your GI tract CAN and DOES absorb liquid. Your GI tract absorbs liquid saturated with oxygen, just as it absorbs liquid with no oxygen, liquids with sugar, such as soft drinks, and liquids which scavenge oxygen, such as alcohol. Oxygen becomes a property of the water itself - it is no longer a free gas. This is a law of physics easily referenced.
Are athletes the ones who would benefit the most by drinking your oxygenated water?
I've read about super-charged oxygen drinks for athletes and body builders in the fitness magazines and was curious. Everyone, including YOU, can benefit! Oxygen is depleted in many ways:
1. As your body metabolizes what you eat, drink, breathe
2. If your body mass index is inappropriately high (i.e. more fatty tissue than the recommended muscle tissue)
3. As you exercise and your muscle tissue expends more oxygen than it is receiving.
4. Everyday stress creates hormone secretions, which is a natural "toxin" that must be metabolized.
5. If your choice of food and drink required more oxygen to metabolize.
6. Aging means more deterioration of cells and therefore greater metabolic need.
7. Taking medications and supplements greatly reduces the body's available oxygen.
8. There are many more scenarios in which oxygen is depleted.

What kind of maintenance does The Big Pitcher require and how often?
All water contains minerals and to dissolve these minerals, you will clean The Big Pitcher about once a month, using hydrogen peroxide, or dilute household Chlorox. Fill the "wagon wheel" at the bottom of it with cleaning solution and operate for about 15 minutes. Rinse, refill with water and in about 15 minutes, your oxygen-rich water is ready to drink!
If your source water is more pure, i.e. already filtered, maintenance is required less often.

How does the water taste after it's been in The Big Pitcher for a couple of days?
Great! You'll be continuously recharging with your choice of source water each time you pour a glass or two to drink and this can go on until you clean The Big Pitcher. It is designed to operate continuously.
How much does the The Big Pitcher cost?
Well, it's really a bargain when you think about how much money you will be saving and here's why. You may not know that there are one or two other appliances on the market today that oxygenate your drinking water. They cost twice as much as The Big Pitcher, hold less water and are not as energy-efficient.
