How Does an Alkaline Water filter Work?

Image
Alkaline water filters.. Should be a simple concept, right? You put water into a water filter and you change its pH to something more alkaline, right? Er.. yes.. but there’s more to know before any decision. 0% Type caption (optional) ALKALINE: A DEFINITION The alkalinity of an alkaline water filter’s output can be indicated with a pH meter. A pH meter provides a value as to how acidic or alkaline a liquid is. The pH meter measures concentration of hydrogen ions in water. Acids dissolved in water forming positively charged hydrogen ions (H+). The greater this concentration of hydrogen ions, the more acidic the liquid may be. Water Alkalinity or Acidity Water is neutral at a reading of pH 7. A lesser reading means the water is acid. pH 6 is 10x more acidic than pH 7 and pH 5 is 100x more acidic than pH7. A higher reading indicates alkalinity. But wait! There’s more! Yes, a pH meter can indicate alkalinity or acidity of water, but it is only an indication . Other fact

21 Years drinking Alkaline Water: what i learned and what to look out for.

Lessons I have learned about Alkaline Water over the last 21 years When I began drinking ionized alkaline water I didn’t even know what an ion was. I failed gloriously at chemistry at school. I was the class disruptor. The idea of a universe of elements confined to a single table of values was anathema to me. I wanted infinite possibility rather than the confines of a periodic table that explained the ‘Theory of Everything’. Well, things have changed. I’m still no expert in chemistry but I’ve grown to love the process of learning about a subject that fascinates me; the relationship of pH balance to my – and others’ – health. Alkaline Water and pH Balance As I learned that the world in general refuses to accept the huge advantage of an alkaline body, I delved into physics, chemistry, biology and psychology. Strangely, I look back on myself at school and understand that unless a person is ready to learn – and change – they simply can’t hear even hear the words of their best friends whe
