Alkaline Ionized Water Filters
Versus Other Water
Filters...
Carbon Filters
Carbon filters are
inexpensive and common. There are two types – one uses granulated
carbon and the other used solid carbon block.
·
The
solid block filter cost more, lasts longer and does a much better job.
·
The
pitcher filter, which uses granulated charcoal, removes most chlorine
and 90 percent of the lead. However, many toxins are not filtered out.
·
There
are many drawbacks to all carbon filters. Carbon filters are not
totally effective for heavy metals, and they don’t remove fluoride,
viruses, pharmaceuticals, or personal care products.
·
Also,
if you don’t change the filters as the instructions direct, they can
become more of a hazard than a help. Old filters collect the “garbage”
in the water and may actually begin to breed bacteria.
Water Distillers
·
Water
distillers are extremely effective at removing everything, unfortunately
even good minerals, from water.
·
Distillers use electricity to heat tap water to the boiling point,
separating impurities from the “steam”, which becomes your clean
drinking water.
·
The
drawback with distilled water is that there are no beneficial minerals
left in it!
·
A
growing body of evidence suggests that completely mineral free water is
worse for your body than water with dissolved minerals in it.
·
Distilled water is absorbent water, meaning it absorbs carbon dioxide,
which may make your body acidic.
Reverse Osmosis
·
Reverse
Osmosis filters water through an extremely fine membrane. It’s a slow
process, and the cost ranges anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars
to many hundreds of dollars.
·
Like
distilled water, most reverse osmosis creates acidic water.
·
It is
95 percent mineral free acidic and therefore aggressive – meaning it
pulls minerals from anything with which it comes into contact.
·
Because
the water is acidic, it may keep your tissues acidic.
Alkaline Ionized Water
Filters
Ionization alters water in two
significant and measurable ways: pH and ORP. These alterations to water
are what make it very different from other waters you may drink.
Research states that the
ideal level for drinking alkaline water is between pH8.5 – pH9.5 with an
ORP of -250mv, which causes the micro clustering, antioxidant and
oxygenating effects.
Athena and Delphi Filters
The Athena & Delphi,
ionized water, has 9 levels of pH, the strongest ORP, water cluster
molecules of 5 or 6 per cluster, and pure clean water, free of organic
matter.
·
Dual
filtration
capability - cleans your water to be 99.9% contaminant free.
·
9
levels of pH.
Your body thrives in an alkaline environment since it is able to
detoxify more efficiently than in an acidic environment. In an alkaline
environment your tissues get rid of impurities more efficiently.
Most bottled waters are very acidic (low pH)
·
Strongest ORP.
High pH ionized water demonstrates a -ORP and so is a reducing agent or
"antioxidant". The ORP of most tap water in the USA is between +200
to +600mv and so it is an oxidizing agent.
· Water clusters
that are significantly smaller than normal water cluster -no more
than 5 or 6 molecules per water cluster which allows the water to
penetrate into more places in the body. Tap, Filtered and bottled
water clusters generally consist of about 12 water molecules per cluster
- because the cluster is so big, the water clusters cannot penetrate
many places in your body.
