Alkaline Water Ionizers Compared

We are very pleased to announce that Best Water Filters is now providing comparisons of Alkaline Water Ionizers. There is a great deal of misinformation about what these systems do and how they work - and even IF they are of any benefit at all.

Water for Life says it best:

"Simply put, mother nature never intended for us to drink water from the tap. Water in its natural state is alkaline (between 7.5 and 9.5 pH), full of oxygen, minerals from rocks, and energy from the sun that works like an antioxidant in our bodies. But when water is treated municipally, it loses it's energy because it sits around in holding tanks for long periods of time, the oxygen dissipates, and any alkalinity is lost making the water acidic. What's worse, the water is also contaminated with fluoride and chlorine and other substances toxic to our bodies.

The acidic tap water we drink (and acidic bottled water too...) along with acidic foods we consume like meats, bread, rice, oil, and potatoes end up making our body pH acidic. Our bodies must remain at least at a neutral pH of 7.0 to feel good, balanced, and energized. Acid breaks down our bones and tissues, it makes us feel stressed, it gives us headaches, it messes up our bowel movements and digestion, and leads to adult onset diseases like cancer, arthritis, and more."

So how do these water ionizers create "natural state" water?

Water Ionizers emulate the same conversion of glacial H20 into pure alkaline, ionized, oxygenated drinking water, by 'splitting' H20 (Two Hydrogen atoms, one oxygen atom) into two separate streams of water;

1. OH- One atom of Oxygen and one atom of hydrogen negatively charged - the Hydroxyl ion. This is the prized Alkaline water that we drink.

2. HO- One atom of Hydrogen and one of oxygen. This is the acid water we use externally and for germicidal cleaning.

This 'splitting' of the H20 Molecule happens in a sealed ionization chamber within your filter for ionized water, under exact control of a dedicated microcomputer, to ensure the exact result time after time. As filtered tap water passes across 5 specially designed Titanium electrodes, it separates into the two components noted above.

How can I find the best water ionization unit?

Now you can compare the best alkaline water ionizers on the market using our detailed comparison criteria. Determine which Alkaline Water Ionizer is right for your home BEFORE you spend a cent!

Dr. Mehmet Oz recommends Carbon Water Filter

We all know Dr. Mehmet Oz as America's Doctor and a frequent guest on the Oprah show. Recently Dr. Oz conducted an interview with Gary Ginsberg, co-author of What's Toxic, What's Not.

One of the things that were noted as toxic is our drinking water straight from the tap. And if you think bottled water is any less toxic, better read on. This quote from Dr. Oz's interview with Gary Ginsberg tells us that to reduce the toxicity in our lives we need to be concerned about both our water from the tap and water from bottles.

"Often bottled water is city tap water that may be run through an extra filter, which you can do at home for pennies a day and save yourself [money]," he says. "Then you have the plasticizer issue [with bottled water] because plastics do leech into water." Instead of risking the consumption of plasticizers and polluting the environment with empty bottles, Gary says you should use a carbon filter with your tap water and transfer it into portable containers."

A carbon water filter for your kitchen faucet costs less than $30 and can save you money as well as potentially saving you and your family from health problems related to consumption of chlorination by-products. A good quality faucet water filter should have more than a single carbon filter inside. Crystal Quest faucet mounted filters, for example, contain 5 layers of filtration and last from 6 - 12 months (2000 gallons of water).
