Have you heard the buzz about Alkaline water?
Alkaline water has many benefits when you drink it. In short Alkaline water can benefit you greater than the water from your tap, and especially from bottled water. There are common misconceptions about Alkaline water however.
Alkaline water can be created naturally and artificially. A natural way to produce Alkalinity in water is water running down a stream or mineral bed. The best way to know if Alkaline water is natural is if it's created without the use of electricity such as a Water Ionizer. Water Ionizers for one: are expensive and two; create artificial alkalinity in your water by electrically charging the water to change the pH. This is bad because Water Ionizers don't typically remove harmful contaminates from your water, and water created in such an artificial way can be bad for your body. This can trick your body into to thinking there's Alkalinity in your blood stream when there isn't.
One way to create Alkalinity in your water without the use of electricity is with an Alkaline filter, more importantly if it's added on to a Reverse-Osmosis system. A Reverse-Osmosis system removes harmful contaminates from your water, adding a re-mineralizing filter such as an Alkaline filter can add minerals and increase the pH of your water making it less acidic. In our recent blogs we briefly discussed 6 Stage RO systems, adding one of these filters to your 5 Stage system creates one.
Why would I get an RO with an Alkaline Filter when I could buy bottled Alkaline Water?
The issue with bottled water in general is the plastic can cause the water to be more acidic. So if bottled water claims to be Alkaline with a pH of 7.5, the water is probably around 6 due to the plastic. Aside from the issues with more acidity it's more expensive. Even adding an Alkaline filter to a 5 Stage Reverse-Osmosis is still pennies per gallon for better drinking water.
