The Difference Between an Alkaline Water Filter and a Water Ionizer
In over ten years as owner of Water for Life USA, I’ve heard the terms “alkaline water filter” and “water ionizer” both used to describe our products. They really are quite different. In fact, an alkaline water filter , like the Santevia alkaline water pitcher or the Ultrawater in-line filter and products similar to it, don’t restore the antioxidants to water, which is the main function of a water ionizer. So, if you purchase an alkaline water filter, you’re probably wasting your money.
An Alkaline Water Filter Isn’t Special
Alkaline water is pretty much everywhere. In fact, when you turn on your tap right now, you are probably getting alkaline water. That is because tap water in the US is full of magnesium and calcium, which are alkaline minerals. In the southern United States and some mountain states, there is so much magnesium and calcium that it congeals together to form scale, which makes the water hard.
If you live in Texas or Arizona or Florida or Southern California, you are well aware that your tap water is hard because it leaves behind white film all over your shower, gums up your water pipes, and will damage any water appliance that uses it. So, instead of buying alkaline water filters to add more alkaline minerals to their water, people with hard water are buying reverse osmosis filter, water softeners, and other scale inhibitors to REDUCE the amount of alkaline minerals!
An Alkaline Water Filter Offers No Health Benefits
Don’t believe me? Just look up health statistics in the United States. Do the states that have the highest pH tap water with the most alkaline minerals contain people that are healthier than the rest of the population? Nope. People living in Texas, Arizona, Southern California, and Florida are not healthier than people living in Oregon or Washington, states where the water tends to be soft.
If alkaline water from an alkaline water filter is supposed to offer such benefits as antioxidants, micro-clustering, and greater hydration, why aren’t we seeing those health benefits in people drinking alkaline water in the US? Here is a quote from Underground Health, “Alkaline water acts as an antioxidant, scavenging for and neutralizing harmful free radicals.” If alkaline water really did this, shouldn’t people who drink alkaline water be less toxic? Shouldn’t they have less instances of illness and disease? They don’t. The reason is alkaline water alone does not make you healthy.
If you invest in an alkaline water filter like the Alkaline-RO being sold by Underground Health, you are wasting your money. What’s worse, you may be fooled into believing you’re getting antioxidants, which may prevent you from seeking antioxidants from other sources.
Ditch the Alkaline Water Filter
When it comes to water, antioxidants and micro-clustering are very important. In fact, if you test the water coming from the Fountain of Youth in Lordes, France or from glacial streams located at longevity villages, you’ll discover that it is full of antoxidants and has a very tight alkaline chemical structure called micro-clustering. The reason for this is natural water is energized by the sun. The sun introduces ions to the water, something that no alkaline water filter can replicate.
Ions are the most important part of water because ions combine with hydrogen to form hydroxl ions, which are the natural antioxidant in water. Ions also energize the water molecules, which are attracted to each other, and then form tight alkaline water bonds that makes energized or ionized water three times more hydrating to your body than tap or bottled water.
The reason why alkaline water coming from your tap in the US doesn’t have ions is the ions have all fizzled away. As soon as you remove water from its natural energy source and store it in a tank or water bottle, it starts to break down. After three or four days, that once vibrant and energized water full of antioxidants has transformed into stagnant dead water that is harmful to your body. So, just because Arizona tap water might have a ton of alkaline minerals in it doesn’t mean it is healthy water to drink. Without ions, the water isn’t very hydrating and instead of cleansing your body with antioxidants, it will steal nutrients and minerals from your body and damage it over time.
The problem with an alkaline water filter is that it uses this stagnant, dead water as its source water. Whether it’s an alkaline water filter attached to pitcher like Santevia, or it’s an inline alkaline water filter like Ultrawater, or alkaline water drops like Alkaline-RO, the water you ultimately consume is still dead, still oxidizing to your body, just like the crappy tap water in most of the US.
Why a Water Ionizer is Better than an Alkaline Water Filter
The first task of an EOS water ionizer, available at www.waterforlifeusa.com, is to clean up all the contaminants from your tap water. All of the fluoride, chlorine, pesticides, Prozac, nitrates, etc. is purified from your tap to the tune of 99.99% removal. An EOS water ionizer accomplishes this with a sixteen stage dual filtration system.
Next, an EOS water ionizer restores the ions to the water by replicating the same energizing process of the sun. But instead of direct sunlight, an EOS water ionizer uses water electrolysis created by platinum titanium plates made by the top rated metal company in the world.
An EOS water is so sophisticated at naturally ionizing your water, it can create virtually any pH and antioxidant level. For example, the number three setting is set to create the same pH and antioxidant level of the water found at the Fountain of Youth in Lordes, France. But the number 4 setting is set to an 11 pH, capable of neutralizing oil based pesticides on your produce! Washing your produce alone won’t remove these pesticides but ionized water from an EOS water ionizer can do it!
There are hundreds of other uses for the ionized water from your EOS water ionizer, such as preserving cut flowers, making your house plants healthy, and even killing viruses and bacterial on your sponges and tooth brushes. All of these uses are reasons why a water ionizer is superior to an alkaline water filter . What’s even more impressive is ionized water from an EOS water only costs you about 2 cents a liter! Way cheaper than replacing an alkaline water filter every few months…
