What Does a Water Ionizer Really Do?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On October 27, 2016 12:00 pm

 
We rightly focus a great deal on what ionized alkaline water does for you, but less so on the actual ionizer itself.  We know that an ionizer produces alkaline water, but how does it do that?  What goes on inside the machine that produces such amazing results?  Let’s find out!

Don’t expect these plates to ionize your water.

Will My Water Ionizer Work with Reverse Osmosis?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On October 25, 2016 7:00 am

We’ve written about Reverse Osmosis (RO) water here before, and truth be told, it hasn’t always been in exactly glowing terms.  In short, RO water is entirely free of vital minerals, so while it’s great in an emergency, drinking it frequently, over any significant period of time, can actually cause harm.

Reverse Osmosis water can be safe if used with an ionizer.

Bringing Dead Water Back to Life?

But here’s an interesting thing.  Reverse Osmosis water can be revived from it’s somewhat “dead” state by flowing through an ionizer. RO water is clean, but devoid of goodness.  Running clean Reverse Osmosis water through your ionizer  will re-mineralize and stabilize the water, making it safe and good to drink, …

What Is a Water Ionizer System? Explained!

Posted by: Rhona Reid On October 6, 2016 12:00 pm

 
It’s possible that although you know about ionized water and the benefits of drinking it, the finer details of how alkaline water is actually produced by that sleek and shiny appliance might be less clear.

Nope.  I'm still not sure which bit the water comes out of.
Nope.  I’m still not sure which bit the water comes out of.

With that in mind, we thought we’d take a look at exactly what an ionizer is, and what goes on inside it!

How Does it Work? 

An ionizer can be fitted above counter level, or tucked away out of sight below your counter; it’s really a matter of personal preference.  It is plumbed into your existing pipework although it almost always has it’s own control panel to actually draw the water.  …

Who Makes the Best Water Ionizer?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On September 27, 2016 7:00 am

 
It’s one thing to say that you’re the best. It’s quite another thing proving it.  Take restaurant food.  How many establishments where you live offer “the best pancakes” or the “the best coffee” in town?  Quite a few, probably.  Added to that is the fact that “best” is pretty subjective, so who or what is the best at anything, and who gets to decide anyway?

Anyone can say that they’re the best…

When it comes to buying an ionizer, it’s not so different.  Many companies will try to tell you that their ionizers are the best.  Unlike coffee and pancakes though, at least with ionizers you can see the facts on how they compare, and also check out recognized …

Do I Need a Whole House Water Ionizer?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On September 22, 2016 12:00 pm

 
Do you know about whole house filters?   It’s exactly what it sounds like: a filter system is fitted to your entire water supply before being routed to where it is needed – taps, showers, appliances and so on.  Knowing how many scary stories are appearing in the media about the state of America’s water, filtering all of the water coming into your house can make great sense.

Tyent’s Free Water Reports: How Safe is Your Water?

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

 
Following on from our own reports into the deepening crisis surrounding America’s water supply, comes a sobering and informative article from the Scientific American.   The author, Robert Glennon, is Regents’ Professor at the University of Arizona 

Cost to fix this?  Nearly $1 trillion.
Cost to fix this?  Nearly $1 trillion.

Prophecy in the Water

Glennon also authored a book, “Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What To Do About It,” back in 2009, long before we were horrified by the events unfolding in Flint.  The book seems eerily prophetic now; referring to the ‘looming catastrophe’ of how the government diverts and maintains water supplies; while elsewhere, millions of gallons of water are wasted.

Sorry Soda.  It’s Not You.  It’s Us. 

Posted by: Rhona Reid On September 1, 2016 12:00 pm

 
On the 2nd August, Bloomberg.com published a report stating that bottled water is poised to outstrip soda sales, a new phenomenon which industry experts believe owes as much to the highly publicized water crisis which began (publicly at any rate) in Flint, MI., as it does to any real sea change in our health habits.

Sorry soda.  It’s all over between us.

Just How Bad is Soda?

Even fans of soda know that there’s little to recommend it, in terms of what it contains; and in fact there’s mounting evidence that soda is actively harmful to our health.

Just What Else is in America’s Water? Another Horror Story Hits the Headlines

Posted by: Rhona Reid On August 23, 2016 7:00 am

 
With the news that the federal state of emergency in Flint, Michigan had ended, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the horror stories about America’s water had started to abate.

6 Million Americans at Risk

However, just a few short days before the government started to shut up shop in Flint, a report was published on August 9, 2016, with the horrifying claim that the water supplied to 6 million American homes across 33 states was contaminated with excessive levels of industrial chemicals linked to cancer, hormone imbalances and other health issues.

The research, from Harvard, analyzed more than 36,000 samples, finding the highest levels of contamination, “were detected in watersheds near …
