Water filtration alone may help to clean the most obvious toxins out of your H20, but unless your tap can perform electrolysis to separate alkaline water from acidic water there is no way to get all the health benefits you could be getting from your hydration. An alkaline water machine is the only way to create the ?perfect? water. The way that it works is fairly simple.
An alkaline water machine should be pretty easy to install and in most cases does not require any assistance from a professional plumber. Once the machine is set up it will perform double water filtration to eliminate contaminates and enhance the taste of the water, which is then run past electrically charged plates. The positive plates attract the acidic minerals and the negative plates attract the alkaline minerals. Then the alkaline water is separated into one area so you can drink it, and the acidic water is separated into another area. The acidic water should not be thrown away though ? it is good to use as a facial cleanser and for household cleaning.
There are so many benefits to alkaline water that it is hard to see why everyone doesn't have one of these machines. Most people don't know that alkaline water can remove acid waste from the body, help flush the buildup of toxins, assist the body in better hydration, improve skin tone and create the optimal pH balance in the systems and organs of the body. Drinking the H20 produced in these water filtration and ionization machines can also help reduce upset stomaches caused by a buildup of acid in the stomach and digestive systems.
Flushing the acidity out of your body can take some time, but by restoring the alkaline pH with an alkaline water machine in the home it will be a much quicker process. The water also tastes delicious so there is really nothing to lose.
This is my first educational series. I would like to begin speaking about water filtration. There are 6 alternative purification solutions.
1) Carbon Filters. These filters work by adsorption. They capture contaminants by making them adhere to the carbon in the filter. They do a good job with improving the taste and odor because they reduce the level of chlorine byproducts. They may even remove or reduce the level of lead. Carbon filters, however, do not remove bacteria, parasites, volatile organic chemicals or organic chemicals.
2) Ceramic Filters. While far less common in North America, ceramic filters work in a similar way to carbon filters. They also use the principle of adsorption. They have all of the same benefits and problems as carbon filters. They do have one additional benefit in that they may alkalinize acidic water.
3) Ultraviolet Treatment. With this method of purification, water passes through a chamber that has an ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light disinfects or reduces the amount of bacteria. This expensive process needs to be used with other filtration in order to remove other impurities. Ultraviolet treatment, also does nothing to help the pH level of acidic water.
4) Reverse Osmosis. With this type of filtration, water is forced through a membrane that removes contaminants from the water. These membranes can remove chlorine byproducts, parasites, some bacteria, industrial chemicals, lead, nitrate and toxic metals. The contaminants are washed away with water. Two problems can arise with reverse osmosis. First, the process wastes precious water. Second, while removing contaminants, reverse osmosis systems tend to remove all of the minerals from water, leaving it acidic.
5) Distillation. Distillation systems boil water and collect the vapors. This process can do a great job of leaving behind heavy metals including arsenic. The boiling process should also kill any bacteria that may be present. However, volatile organic chemicals are not removed with distillation as these chemicals tend to boil before the water does and are collected in the vapors. As well, alkalinizing minerals are removed, leaving the water acidic.
6) Bottled water. Many people turn to bottled water to give them peace of mind. And yet, bottled water is usually nothing more than water from a civic water supply that has been run through one of the filtration systems listed above. The deficiencies of the filtration method used can be amplified since the water is then stored in plastic bottles that may contain bacteria. Water is best stored in glass. Plastics can transfer odors, flavors or even leach residues into the water stored inside bottles.
When you're looking for a water filtration system look for a system that not only filters the water, but re-mineralizes and oxygenates it as well.
