Alkaline water, also commonly known as ionized water, is water that has a pH level greater than seven. This water is generally produced with the aid of a faucet-based water ionizer, or "alkalizer" and features a number of health benefits.
Making Alkaline Water
These are some of the possible sources of alkaline water: * Lemon (& Lime) Water * pH Drops * Alkalising Powder * Mainstream Water Filters * Water Distillers * Reverse Osmosis * Alkaline Water Ionizers
While water ionizers are arguably the most popular source of ionized water, such water can be produced with the aid of a water distiller. A distiller will convert regular water into steam, condense it back into water and, in much the same fashion as a water ionizer, will purge any impurities and get rid of the acid toxins.
If you want to alkalize your water on a budget, you may want to consider adding some ingredients to your regular water. For example, squirting a few drops of lemon or lime juice into a typical glass of water will make it considerably healthier, as said fruits are very alkaline-heavy.
Water Ionizers
If you're really interested in purchasing a water ionizer, there are several factors to take into consideration before making your selection. First, you'll need to decide whether you'd like a removable ionizer that can easily be attached to or detached from your faucet head or if you'd like a heavy duty ionizer that will be permanently installed beneath your faucet. While the heavy-duty ionizers are generally more effective in purging acid toxins, they tend to come with much steeper price tags. Although they may not be as effective as their permanently-installed counterparts, the detachable faucet head units can conveniently be moved from one of your home's faucets to another, thus eliminating the need to purchase multiple ionizers.
Also, when shopping around for a water ionizer, make a point of looking for a unit that is easy to
