Is An Alkaline Water Machine Just A Waste Of Your Money?

[se]

An alkaline water machine will only work if dissolved minerals are present. If you use reverse osmosis systems for home water purification, then no minerals are present. The same would be true if you used distillation.

The process used to increase alkalinity is called ionization. Dissolved minerals become ionized when an electric current is passed through them.

The process does not really change the H2O molecules, although the salesmen say it makes the molecules smaller and easier for the body to absorb. Does that really make any sense?

Nothing is easier for the body to absorb than pure H20. If a person does see any health benefits from drinking ionized H2O, it probably has to do with the fact they are drinking more water or drinking fewer sodas or drinking less coffee or consuming more minerals.

Some of the machines on the market re-mineralize and then ionize. The extra minerals could be good for your health, but it would be easier and more cost effective to take a vitamin and mineral supplement.

An alkaline water machine does not remove impurities. So, pretreatment is still necessary. The manufacturers of ionizers recommend pre-treatment with a multi-stage selective water filtration device to ensure that any naturally occurring minerals are present after the treatment.

If you have a good multi-stage selective water filtration device, you are drinking the healthiest liquid available. That's really the bottom line.

The filters remove everything that could be bad for your health without removing healthy minerals.

Why do ionizers cost so much when they do so little? One of the main reasons is that Review Antminer L7 are marketed by MLM companies. Multi-level marketing pays off for some people. They earn a commission every time they make a sale. If they get other people to sell for them, they earn another commission. They even earn commissions for signing people up.

If you pay $1000 for an alkaline water machine, you are getting something that probably costs about $10 to build. The certifications you see on the machines are not related to the effectiveness of the product or to the quality of the H2O that comes out of it. The certifications simply apply to the electronic parts. The machines probably will not cause a house fire. That's all the UL certification means.

A multi-stage selective water filtration device can be certified by Underwriter's in terms of contaminant removal. They use no electricity and waste no water. An alkaline water machine wastes half of the incoming H2O.
