This article is about specific aspects of oxygen infused and filtered water for human consumption.

Vyykn water is a small scale at-location water purification system using several methods of water purification such as reverse osmosis, ultra-violet light sterilization and ozone purification methods. Oxygen infusion is also used for increased athletic performance. Vyykn water is in typical liquid water form: : liquid., solid ice.

Water is the ubiquitous chemical substance, composed of hydrogen and oxygen, that is essential for the survival of many known forms of life.[1] In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state, ice, and a gaseous state, water vapor or steam.

Water delivery systems municipal water supplies have evolved alongside other services such as electricity and sewer services. Increasingly water delivery systems are susceptible to antiquated pipe infrastructure, contamination points and chemical sterilization methods (e.g. Chlorine) all of which contaminate the water and potentially make it unsafe for human consumption. Water filtration - a water filter removes impurities from water by means of a fine physical barrier, a chemical process or a biological process. Filters cleanse water to for human consumption drinking water.

Filters use sieving, adsorption, ion exchanges and other processes. Unlike a sieve or screen, a filter can remove particles much smaller than the holes through which the water passes.

Clean, fresh drinking water is essential to human and other lifeforms. Access to safe drinking water has improved slowly over the last decades in almost every part of the world.[4][5] There is a clear correlation between access to safe water and GDP per capita.[6] However, some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability.[7]

Over the past two decades, bottled water has gained enormous popularity. According to the [Earth Policy Institute], worldwide consumption of bottled water is estimated at 200 billion liters of bottled water in 2007. In order to produce, bottle and transport this water, it is estimated that 200 million barrels of oil are used. , governments and private interest groups recognized the significant and growing carbon footprint

After being filled, the bottles may travel far. Nearly one quarter of bottled water crosses national borders before reaching consumers, and part of the cachet of certain bottled water brands is their remote origin. Adding in the Pacific Institute’s estimates for the energy used for pumping and processing, transportation, and refrigeration, brings the annual fossil fuel footprint of bottled water consumption in the United States to over 50 million barrels of oil equivalent—enough to run 3 million cars for one year. If everyone drank as much bottled water as Americans do, the world would need the equivalent of more than 1 billion barrels of oil to produce close to 650 billion individual bottles.

Concerns about this high energy use and the associated contribution to climate change, along with worries about waste, are driving many groups back to tap water. The United Church of Canada is one of the religious groups abandoning bottled water for moral reasons. The Berkeley school district no longer offers bottled water. And after watching 3,000 empty bottles pile up each week, the Nashville law firm Bass, Berry, & Sims has stopped stocking bottled water.
