Tap Water vs. Ionized Water: The Critical Differences

As human beings, we all require water. Over 60% of the human body content is made of water. Water is needed to oxygenate our cells, remove harmful waste from our system, regulate our body temperature, and is used as a means to transport vital nutrients to various organs. As water is such an important part of our health, it is critical to ensure we are not only drinking clean water, but pure water as well.

Processing Tap Water

Tap water undergoes several processes before coming to our homes. Water is taken from a nearby source (lake, reservoir or aquifer) and is pumped into a treatment plant. At this treatment plant, the water is filtered to remove debris and then put through a softening process. This softening process causes minerals to precipitate out of the water, ensuring that minerals do not cause damage later in processing. Chemicals are added to help facilitate the removal of fine and unwanted particles, and then the water is placed into tanks to allow any remaining debris to settle to the bottom.

Once the tank process is complete, a sand water filtration process is utilized, and finally, the water is disinfected. Chlorine-based chemicals are the most common disinfectants. In many areas, fluoride is introduced into the processed water. After all this processing is completed, the water is released to the distribution system and then to our taps.

Ionizing Tap Water

An ionizer not only removes chlorination and fluorides through water filtration, but it also ionizes water and produces alkaline and acidic water. This ionization process is accomplished by the introduction of a low voltage electric current. Soluble minerals in the water are then, in effect, magnetized, thus producing the acidic and alkaline waters. Acidic water can be used for external applications, such as cleansing and sterilization. The alkaline water is what we would consume as our drinking water.

Alkaline Water

Ionized alkaline water tastes lighter than tap water, and there are no harmful chemicals. It is an effective antioxidant, provides energy, and can hydrate the body three times more effectively than tap water. The taste of ionized alkaline water is much superior to that of the taste of tap water. It can detoxify our body and promote regularity. Regular usage of alkaline water has been shown to improve overall health and vitality.

Acidic Water

Ionized acidic water should only be used externally. This acid water can help with treating eczema and acne. It can be used to kill bacteria and as a sterile application to cuts and rashes. Ionized acidic water is also recommended for use in gargling to relieve sore throats and mouth sores, and it can also effectively remove plaque from our teeth.

Healthy Water

Plain, ordinary tap water, while having been filtered and processed, does not equate to water that is pure and healthy for our bodies. The very introduction of chlorine and fluoride can have a negative effect on our bodies over time. By using a water ionizer, we can remove those chemicals from tap water and bring pure water into our households.  Clean and pure water is essential to our long-term health.
