What to do When You’re Going on Vacation

Published by Alkaline Water Plus

A water technician pointed out to me the other day that if you’re going on vacation or not going to use your water ionizer for more than a couple of weeks, you should take proper precautions to prevent bacteria from growing in the unused filters. It’s a very simple thing to do.

  1. Remove your water ionizer filters and let them drain in the sink drain for an hour or two.
  2. Put them in a plastic bag and then into the refrigerator for storage.
  3. Do this with any prefilters you are using as well.

Another thing you could do, if you don’t like this idea for some reason, is to get a neighbor or friend to come over every week or two to your home and pour a gallon or two of ionized water [of course they should hopefully drink this ionized water rather than just pour it down the drain]. This way the filters are provided with clean fresh water every day or two and the water won’t go stale.
