Just before the holiday celebrations really begin, we’re not just wrapping presents; it’s also a wrap on our 10-part series on how water ionizers compare to other drinks and machines on the market. We aim to present the facts and let you decide for yourself which option is best for you!

They’ll laugh even more when they realize that they’ve bought each other a Tyent Ionizer.

The Healthy Choice?

Today, we’re taking a look at “healthy drinks” and examining the claims and the reality.  When people talk about healthy options, they usually mean low-fat, low-sugar or something that contains fresh ingredients.

The best of the bunch is a freshly-made juice or smoothie, made primarily from vegetables, with a little …

Tyent Water Ionizers Versus the Competition, Part 9: Water Ionizer vs. Tap Water

Posted by: Rhona Reid On December 13, 2016 7:00 am

We’re nearing the end of our series on how ionized water compares to other types of drinking water, and today we’re examining the most obvious one – tap water.

Contaminants on tap?
Contaminants on tap?

The issues surrounding municipal water have dominated the news in an unprecedented way over the last few years.

Tap Water is Cheap and Convenient

Let’s look at the good to start with.  It’s cheap.  It’s right there, flowing out of your taps with no fuss, just like it has for years.

Except for many people, the water isn’t so good to drink anymore.  America’s pipework is old and was built for the populations of major towns and cities as they were then, not now.

There’s a Crack in …

Tyent Water Ionizers Versus the Competition, Part 8: Water Ionizer vs. Well Water

Posted by: Rhona Reid On December 8, 2016 12:00 pm

We’re nearing the end of our 10-part series on how ionizers compare to other types of drinking water, but we still have a few more options for you to think about!

Just how safe is well water?
Just how safe is well water?

Looking Well?

Today, we’re looking at the pros and cons of drinking water from your own well.  Firstly, the major plus is that you’re off grid; you have your own water supply and no more water bills.  You and your family can drink water that isn’t part of America’s beleaguered water network, and perhaps that’s looking more and more attractive?

But it’s wrong to think that well water is somehow inherently safer than it’s municipal counterpart.  Back in the day, maybe it …

We hope you’re loving our 10-part series on how a water ionizer compares to other means of getting your drinking water.  So far, we’ve looked at a few types of machine and equipment, and today we’re examining how water ionizers stack up against the ubiquitous bottled water.

Have You Got the Bottle? 

Bottled water is undeniably convenient.  Widely available to the point of saturation, to use a suitably watery metaphor; most of us are probably only a few feet away from a bottle of water at any time.

Handily, bottled water comes in lots of different guises to suit your pocket and tastes.  Mineral water, spring water…even alkaline water is available in a bottle.  Importantly, it’s also relatively …

We really hope you’re enjoying our series on all of the alternatives to water ionizers on the market today, and how they compare to Tyent machines!

Is it possible to protect your whole house from unsafe water?

Is a Whole House Filter the Answer?

Right now, we’re going to take a look at a pretty tempting-sounding option in these times of worry and fear about what’s lurking in our source water – a whole-house filter.

If you want the peace of mind that comes from knowing that the water flowing from your main pipe is being filtered before it hits the taps or the shower, then we understand that.  Clean water is routed around your home, without the need for …

Tyent Water Ionizers Versus the Competition, Part 5: Water Ionizer vs. Distillation

Posted by: Rhona Reid On November 29, 2016 7:00 am

Jumping into our 10-part special now?  Why not take a look at the earlier blogs in our great series on how Tyent water ionizers compare to other types of home water machines and products? We give you the facts then it’s up to you to decide for yourself who wins!

Aristotle was philosophical about the distillation process.

Distilled Information

Today, we’re looking at how water ionizers stack up against distillers, kicking off with how distilled water is produced.  It’s a process with a long and ancient history; Aristotle, the great philosopher and tutor of Alexander the Great, wrote about the steaming of seawater for the purpose of drinking.

A low to mid-priced option, the modern day distillation process commonly takes …

Tyent Water Ionizers Versus the Competition, Part 4: Water Ionizer vs. Reverse Osmosis System

Posted by: Rhona Reid On November 24, 2016 12:00 pm

We really hope that you’re all enjoying our “How Does an Ionizer Compare to…” series as much as we’re loving putting it together!  We try to be as big on information as we are broad, so hopefully you feel as though you’re getting a clear picture and enough pointers to make an informed decision.

With that in mind, we’re going to take a look at a well-known alternative to a water ionizer – a reverse osmosis system.

We give you the facts. You make the decision.

Tyent Water Ionizers Versus the Competition, Part 3: Water Ionizer vs. A Water Pitcher

Posted by: Rhona Reid On November 22, 2016 7:00 am

How are you enjoying our series on how well Tyent water ionizers compare to just about every other form of water gadget or machine on the market?  We want you to make up your own mind about which one comes out on top.  So we’re giving you the facts to let you decide for yourself!

Drink Water. Close Up Man Pouring Water Into Glass. Hydration

A Clear Pitcher?

The third comparison we’d like to make is with a standard water pitcher with an integral filter.  You can pick these up pretty much anywhere; the initial cost is low, and there are no installation requirements.  In terms of features, some are more stylish than others, although obviously, that’s pretty subjective.  The important thing is its filtration capabilities.

Tyent Water Ionizers Versus the Competition, Part 2: Water Ionizer vs. Water Filters!

Have you read Part One of our special 10-part series looking at how a Tyent Water Ionizer compares to the competition?  

Do your taps need a little help?
Do your taps need a little help?

Well, without further ado, we couldn’t wait to bring you the second part of the series, taking a closer look at how Tyent Ionizers compare with water filters that fit directly onto your tap.

Are Faucet Filters Any Good? 

Faucet-mounted filters come in various designs, with differing filtration capabilities and construction.  These range from mechanical to carbon-types, and others besides.  Some filter out just one or two contaminants, while others remove more of the bad stuff from your water, but how thoroughly they do so varies tremendously.

Even if the faucet mounted …

Behind “Safe” Bottled Water

Posted by: Rhona Reid On November 10, 2016 12:00 pm

Back in 2008, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that 10 top brands of bottled water contained contaminants such as disinfectant by-products, pain medication and fertilizer residue.

Toxic Waste Near Water

Even if the beverage industry has cleaned up its act since then, there’s still the worry that plastic leaches controversial carcinogen Bisphenal A (BPA) into the bottled water.  No one is certain about the long-term effects of imbibing the estrogen-mimicking chemical, so wobbly reassurances along the lines of “it seems to be alright so far…” is pretty much the best we have.

Portable Problems?

So how about using “safe” reusable plastic bottles instead?  When Treadmill reviews commissioned environmental testing laboratory services company EmPak P&K to test 12 different types of portable plastic water …
