Alkaline water: Benefits, price and manufacturing process

There is so much hype about alkaline water in the market. Is this genuine or just marketing? Let us have a brief understanding about alkaline water and RO processed water and look for ourselves which one is better and economical.

What Differentiates Alkaline Water from ordinary drinking water?

Water is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen. It is referred to as H2O for this reason. Water's pH level, which varies from 0 to 14, defines how acidic it is. Seven is regarded as the normal pH. The number "seven" is regarded as intermediate or in-between acidic and alkaline. Water is considered "acidic" if its pH value is lower than 7. It's "alkaline" if it's greater than 7.

According to EPA recommendations, municipal water's pH level should range from 6.5 to 8.5. However, based on the place you live, drinking water typically falls below that, in the range of 4.3 to 5.3.

Is alkaline water safe to drink?

Alkaline components are found in alkaline water. Additionally, it has a greater pH and is less acidic than ordinary drinking water. However, there is little study to support claims that it can improve digestion and boost the immune system. Alkaline water doesn't offer any significant health risks unless you suffer from kidney disease. The only other potential effects of the high pH are possible stomach distress and dry, itchy skin.

Why companies are selling alkaline water on very high price?

Alkaline water has lately seen a rise in market competition. As a result, the price has increased considerably. The price of this water is a little higher than that of regular bottled drinking water. Due to the additional processing required for each bottle, bottles are usually more expensive at the grocery store. Depending on the minerals and other additions added to the water, this price might go up even further. Additionally, home ionizers are pricey, making them a less economical choice for the majority of people.

Differences between alkaline water and water purified by reverse osmosis

RO eliminates water from its impurities:

Different sections are needed for the filtering procedure of RO treated water, which eliminates both the impurities and the mineral content of untreated water. Strong filtration removes water's natural qualities, depleting its mineral content and alkalinity, rendering it unsuitable for consumption or even for cooking. The loss of vital minerals, however, might be significantly reduced with alkaline or enriched water.

Much water is wasted by RO:

To purify one gallon, a RO system uses about 4 gallons of water waste. RO wastes 40 gallons of water for every 10 gallons of water your household uses each week. The ecosystem would suffer from that. However, you can obtain any pH level of water with zero waste when using an Ionia Alkaline Water Ionizer. The most recent instance of a water emergency in the nation was comparable to "Day Zero" in Chennai, India in 2019 when the entire metropolis ran out of water. Our world is facing a huge problem, and it is horribly wasteful to use technologies like reverse osmosis to solve it.

Unpalatable Water:

As we are all aware that RO technology lowers the TDS level of water, but extremely low levels of TDS can also be unpalatable to consumers due to their flat, insipid flavor, and according to the WHO, they are frequently harmful to water supply systems. Continuous weak metabolism due to body adaptation to reduced TDS water consumption is possible.

Conclusion

Alkaline water keeps the proper pH balance in the body without losing its natural mineral qualities, making it entirely safe to consume. Electricity is not required for alkaline water filtration.  Reverse osmosis depends on electricity for providing the hydraulic pressure that is essential to purify the water and filter out particulates as tiny as a few microns. This renders alkaline water a considerably more financially sound choice, especially given the relatively high expense of a reverse osmosis system. A countertop filter will typically be much simpler to install than a reverse osmosis device.
