What are the health benefits of alkaline water?

Alkaline water may improve hydration, reduce acid reflux, and support antioxidant defenses through negative ORP. Many users report enhanced energy and digestion.

How does a water ionizer work?

A water ionizer uses electrolysis to separate water into alkaline and acidic streams, increasing pH and adding molecular hydrogen for potential health benefits.

What is a naturally ionizing alkaline water filter?

A naturally ionizing alkaline water filter uses mineral-based filtration, such as magnesium and ceramic materials, to raise the pH of water and provide antioxidants. These filters do not require electricity.

What is the difference between electric and non-electric water ionizers?

Electric ionizers use electrolysis to provide more control and higher levels of ionization, while non-electric ionizers rely on natural minerals and are more affordable and portable.

Is alkaline water better than filtered water?

Alkaline water offers added benefits like higher pH and antioxidants, while filtered water simply removes contaminants. The best choice depends on your health goals.

Are there any cautions about drinking ionized alkaline water?

You should increase the pH slowly. Start with the lowest alkaline level and increase gradually. Drinking water that’s too alkaline too quickly may cause temporary discomfort. Always introduce new health habits slowly to let your body adjust.

Why do electric water ionizers need platinum coating on the electrodes?

Platinum acts as a catalyst, speeding up the electrolysis process. This ensures immediate and efficient ionization of the water.

Is platinum in water ionizers safe for the body?

Yes. Platinum used in ionizers is safe, and nano-platinum particles may have beneficial effects on the body according to some research.

Which water ionizer do you suggest?

We offer several high-quality water ionizers. You can compare features and prices on our Water Ionizer Comparison page.

What level of alkaline pH is best for drinking?

Most people prefer drinking water with a pH between 9.0 and 9.5. Start with a lower level and increase gradually based on how your body responds.

What are the highest alkaline levels, like 11 pH, used for?

Alkaline levels around 11 pH are typically used for cooking and cleaning, as they help break down grease and grime effectively.

What is the Purified Water setting used for?

Purified Water is neutral pH water that is only filtered, not ionized. It’s ideal for taking medications or for young children and infants.

Can you drink the acid water that comes from the lower spout?

No. Acidic water is not for drinking. It's intended for external use, such as cleaning, disinfecting, or watering plants.

What is the best way to store ionized water?

Store ionized water in an airtight, non-metallic container, ideally in a cool, dark place. This helps preserve its antioxidant and pH properties.

Can babies or toddlers drink alkaline water?

It's best to use the Purified Water (neutral pH) setting for babies and toddlers. Their bodies are naturally alkaline and may not need additional pH boost.
