Have you heard the buzz about how it’s better to drink alkaline or pH balanced water?
Drinking alkaline water acts as an antioxidant, it balances the body’s pH levels, and enhances your immune system. In some studies alkaline therapy or pH therapy slows or stops cancer progression. It’s something we all should be aware of.
Having a Reverse Osmosis system to purify your drinking water is an excellent choice for having good water to drink right on tap at your home. We see the convenience for cooking, pet water, ice makers and of course, filling your reusable BPA-free water bottle.
But did you know Reverse Osmosis good purified water can be acidic? People with some health concerns should not drink acidic water and those who are concerned about gaining health benefits from drinking water need to consider adding a calcite filter to their RO system, to put back the minerals that balance the water pH levels.
And the immediate benefit of adding a calcite filter is improved water taste.
Calcite is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate media made from crushed and screened white marble. When a calcite filter is applied, the pH is corrected to reach a non-corrosive equilibrium and acidic waters raise the pH. PB&J recommends changing a calcite filter annually along with the sediment, carbon block, and finishing filters in your reverse osmosis system.
