What Does An Alkaline Water Filter Do & What Is The Best Home Filtration System For Removing Toxins?

 

An alkaline water filter can be a valuable addition to your in-home H20 treatment system. While the word “alkaline” may sound like it describes something you decidedly would not want to drink, it actually describes the best type of drinking water.

Alkaline water filters (often sold under the term “ionized water filters”) work by affecting a chemical change on H20. Essentially, the liquid is split into two different types, producing both alkaline and acidic water. The first type actually has smaller H20 clusters in it, which make it easier for the body to absorb it and be hydrated by it. It contains more energizing oxygen, tastes better, and quenches thirst better.

There are other health benefits from this type of drinking liquid. It is said that some of the benefits of drinking alkaline water are lowered blood sugar levels, fewer allergic reactions, protection against free radical damage, and energy increase.

The other byproduct of an alkaline water filter is acidic H20. Acid actually throws the body's pH off and is not good to drink in large quantities, but this acidic liquid is good for washing dishes, shampooing hair, and bathing wounds. It has an astringent, germ-killing quality that makes it very good for these activities.

Alkaline water filters produce H20 that is very good for you and your family. Your household would benefit greatly from installing one in your home to produce the best H20 you can drink and a handy sterilizing liquid for personal grooming and washing.

However, an alkaline water filter needs to be used in conjunction with other purifying products and is best used in a multi-step H20 purifying system that is able to remove all contaminants and microbes from your drinking supply. The word “filter” is somewhat confusing, because the process of splitting H20 into two different streams does not really strain out anything. This is a chemical process, not a filtration process.

You may end up with water that tastes better and is better able to hydrate, but your main concern is to have safe, sanitized H20 first. Once it has been purified of all unwanted elements, then you can work on making it more beneficial and easier to absorb.

This is why most alkaline water filters come with carbon or another type of filtration element that is able to strain out impurities. A good H20 treatment system will have several steps to it. There should be at least two filtration elements such as carbon or ceramic which blocks all unwanted particles and chemicals. Having more than one filter makes it certain that no stray chemical manages to slip past and end up in your glass. Once the H20 is perfectly clean and safe, an alkaline water filter makes it even more beneficial and delicious.

Any good H20 treatment system will produce sanitized and safe drinking liquid. Alkaline water filters go one step further and make what you drink full of oxygen and easier to absorb, filling your glass with life and energy up to the brim. Purchase an alkaline water filter as part of your overall H20 treatment program and see the benefits in your health and the health of your loved ones.
