All about Alkaline Water…
We all want water that is pure and healthy to drink. Unfortunately, what comes from our tap faucets isn’t the healthiest of choices. To combat the unhealthy additives and microorganisms that reside in tap water, there are a variety of water purification processes available to clean our water and make it healthier to drink.
Filtration
The most basic of water purification is simple filtration. Water passes through a fine strainer or activated carbon filter. This removes minor amounts of debris and reduces any foul tastes or odors present in the water to be filtered. Water filtration does only that – filters out unwanted and non-microscopic debris. It does not remove any contaminants that can cause health issues such as bacteria, lead, viruses and arsenic. Even worse, the filter, if not replaced frequently, can be a breeding ground for the very same bacteria one would wish to have removed from one’s drinking water.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis is a process that presses water through a membrane to reduce the amount of inorganic materials. The result is unwanted materials on one side of the membrane and processed water on the other. As with water that runs through a filtration system, this system can become clogged with contaminants and can also lead to further contamination by the growth of bacteria.
Steam Distilled
Steam distillation is the process of evaporating and condensing water to separate the pure water from the contaminants contained within ordinary tap water. This process is one of the better purification processes, as it not only removes chemical contaminants, but also is also highly effective in removing bacteria and other biological organisms. It has shown to be 99% effective in producing clean, healthy water.
Deionization
The process of deionization involves the usage of a filter. This filter will end up containing the anion (negatively charged) resins and the cation (positively charged) resins. Porous polymer beads are used for the ion exchange resin. These beads have a very high molecular weight. The ion exchange resins are repeatedly regenerated and rinsed of ions until all ionic material is removed from the water. This process is also known as demineralization. This method is not known to be effective in the complete removal of bacteria and harmful organic material.
Ionization
Finally, another way to process and clean water is through ionization. Tap water is first put through a filter to remove debris, particles and chemicals introduced into the water from the public processing center. Next, the filtered tap water is placed into an electrolysis chamber. This chamber is equipped with a platinum coated titanium electrode, which has the sole purpose of negatively and positively charging the ions present in the filtered tap water. The charging effectively separates the water into two types – alkaline and acidic. The resulting alkaline water is used for drinking and is free of microorganisms and contaminants. The acidic water is also free of microorganisms and contaminants and is best used for cleaning and sterilization.
Which Purification Process is Best?
All five water purification methods are essentially effective at removing debris and unwanted non-microscopic material. However, the most effective process that produces clean, pure water free from chemicals and harmful contaminants is ionization.
