What should the ph be with the filter? Heard that higher than 8 will be too alkaline for the body.

This product made my water taste very bitter. To make matters worse, the filter clogged up after 2 days. On the third day, I had enough and threw it away. In summary, do not waste your money on this product.

Be very careful about changing your PH. Do it in little increments . If it's at 7 just leave it at that

Yes, the rad filter does! I have tested it with drops. In my experience, the ph level started above 8 when I first started using it and after about 4-6 weeks it dropped to around 7. I drink a lot of water! I've been very happy to have alkaline water from this bottle! In fact I recently ordered a new rad bottle. It was actually cheaper than a new rad filter.

Yes, these are strips that helps show your ph balance is acidic or alkaline. The healthy range needs to be in the 7.0-7.05. You can use saliva or urine on these. Urine is the most accurate but test the urine in the morning on the second time around because the first time you go to the bathroom the urine is too acidic to test the reason is because the urine sits in the body to long during the night. If you decide to test the urine just use a jar it makes the testing easier. There are several places to get alkaline supplements at Health Food Stores or on line. You can try this also but the taste is something to get use too but it works and is cheap is to take 1 teaspoon of baking soda per 1 teaspoon of black strap molasses this will help bring up the ph balance and if you need to double the recipe you can or take the drink couple times a day until you are where you want to be at. If you decide to go the baking soda route you need to put 1 cup of water on a stove until a little warm and then put the baking soda in and stir until the water is clear. Take the water off the stove stir in the molasses. Taste better when the drink is warm and comfortable to drink. You need to test your ph everyday because one day you maybe alkaline and the next day you could be acidic by eating something acid that can effect you ph and lower your ph in the 6s. Nothing can survive in an alkaline body that ranges in the 7.0 - 8.0 range. How to eat an alkaline diet you can get books or info on line if you have not done so already that tells you what foods are acidic or alkaline and how to figure what to eat with what to make sure you eat an alkaline meal. You can eat acidic food but you need to eat something alkaline with it to off set the acid to bring up the blood to alkaline level. It's not hard to do once you get the hang of it.

At 9.0 that is a good Alkaline level. The filter should be change every 3 months.Also clean your Pitcher every two weeks.

Try it; I would think it would increase? I'm using it by the recommended ratio on the box; hadn't thought to check alkalinity LOL. Good luck; we love having coffee that is no longer acidic. Alkaline water is all we drink now; we're oldsters: 65 and 75, in good health due in large part to this water, I'm sure.

No it does not raise the PH to make it alkaline. It just filters the water.

I have always used 2 filters at the time.For two people they usualy last about 70 gallons(36 cents/gallon). It depends on the reading you get on the tester from your tap water. Mine is about 240 ppm.I am thinking of purchasing right now a Berkey filter unit. They are a little more expensive but a set of 2 filters($107) works for about 600 gallons(18 cents/gallon). You also have an option for an extra set of filters to remove arsenic and fluoride. Check out their website at www.bigberkeywaterfilters.com.I hope this will help. Drinking clean water is very important.

I used a pH reagent test liquid against an 8 oz glass of reverse osmosis water with mineral filter on it, with 3 drops of AlkaZone on it, and it reads about a 9.0. It works.

hello have to activate the carbon filter to clean, insert it in a bowl of cool water for 10 minutes, start to use.The headache may be the new oxygenation of sagre by the beneficial properties of alkaline water, you disappears as soon get used, is very good, I recommend it.

Very easy. See previous answers & comments about pH testing. The water tastes very good, though it may be unusual for some because of the alkalinity.

it will raise the ph in pools making it more alkaline.. if your pool is acidic add some baking soda.. dont add too much or it will turn your pool cloudy and also it will clog your pool filter .. I added some once and added it to my skimmer but it didnt dissolve fast enough and went directly to my filter and clogged it up.. I put the whole box at once so add small amounts at a time! Shawn

I have used mine in a therapure filter based on my experience it should be okay to try it. Make sure the builb is not touching any part of the unit. Keep an eye on it for the first 24 hours.

My filter came with a pH test kit. You can buy them at the drug store. That was never a problem for me. Getting replacement filters is a problem. Otherwisw, I love the filter.

I find this whole water filtration business confounding; 50 ppm sounds good but is that 50 just minerals or the lead and the mercury and the really bad things? I am going to see what my county says about my water quality and if they stand by that to start; I know you shouldn't have any fluoride, which undermines thyroid function. good luck.

You might want to check whatever meter you're using. I have a digital pH meter that consistently measure the pH of this water over 10.

As you already know high alkaline water will leave mineral deposits on your plumbing fixtures. You could therefore make a valid assumption that it would also do the same in your filter unit and reduce the effectiveness of the filtering process. However you should contact the manufacturer directly and get and answer directly preferably by email. A reverse osmosis unit is a better solution for your situation if you have the room and the cash.
