What type of pure water technology do you need in your home? You have many choices today for home purification. It can be difficult to choose the right product for your needs. The information here should help. There is probably no point in mentioning the old distillation devices. But, the systems might come up in conversations about alkaline water-benefits. Judging from the evidence being presented online and in the press, the alkaline water-benefits are non-existent. The claims made by companies that make the systems cannot be proven, but they can easily be disproven by chemists. It is not possible to change the pH level of the digestive system, the bloodstream or any other part of the body by drinking an alkaline substance. Something like alka-seltzer will initially neutralize the pH of stomach acid, but the acid will gradually return. That’s why people end up taking antacids over and over again. The solution could actually be to watch what you eat and swallow a little vinegar instead of chewing on antacids. The acidic pH of vinegar reduces the proton-pump activity, which gradually reduces the acid. So, that’s enough about pure water technology that is expensive and unnecessary. One of the systems that work is reverse osmosis, but it is not the best choice for most homeowners. Reverse osmosis is necessary in homes where there is a high concentration of dissolved solids. For example, the owner of a private well might have a problem with “hardness”. Softeners are possibly a better solution. Well owners should discuss the situation with experts, not simple salespeople. In homes serviced by a public treatment facility, reverse osmosis is unnecessary. There are always less expensive alternatives. Most of the contaminants present in modern-day homes are chemicals. The chemicals may be there due to industrial pollution or they may be disinfectants added by the treatment facility. In either case, reverse osmosis is not the right pure water technology, because it does not remove chemicals. Lead and cysts are two of the contaminants causing problems for homeowners. Reverse osmosis salesmen will tell you their systems are the best choice for removing those contaminants. That is not true. Ion exchange will remove lead and submicron particle filters will remove cysts. The cost of a system containing both ion exchange and submicron particle filters, as well as the necessary media to remove chemicals is far less than reverse osmosis. The right pure water technology for most homes is multi-stage selective filtration. No reverse osmosis or alkaline systems are needed.
