What is alkaline water?

Alkaline water is water that’s less acidic than regular tap water. This means it is rich in alkalizing compounds, including calcium, silica, potassium, magnesium, and bicarbonate.

Many people believe that the typical North American diet contributes to chronic low-grade acidosis – a condition that may be associated with poor health outcomes including heart problems, altered hormonal status, and the loss of muscle or bone.

Proponents of alkaline water believe that it can neutralize the acid in your bloodstream and help your body metabolize nutrients more effectively, leading to better health and performance.

Alkaline water is by far the healthiest water available today.  Decades of scientific and medical research have gone into its development and recent studies are revealing the magnificent benefits alkaline water can provide.  It has increased hydration properties, abundant mineral content, is high alkaline and even contains antioxidant properties.
 

What’s Wrong With tap water?

If you live in the United States, there is a nearly one-in-four chance your tap water is either unsafe to drink or has not been properly monitored for contaminants in accordance with federal law, a new study has found.

1. Fluoride- Several studies have shown that fluoride has neurotoxicity and that it reduces IQ in children. It triggers tumors as well as aids their rapid growth and spread. Many developed countries that had earlier implemented drinking water fluoridation have since stopped the practice in the light of new research.

2. Chlorine-Regular chlorine consumption, even at the doses found in domestic drinking water, has been associated with birth defects and cancers of the breast, rectum, and urinary bladder. According to a study report published in the International Journal of Cancer in April 2006, chlorinated tap water is implicated as a leading cause of bladder cancer in men.

3. Arsenic- Arsenic poisoning causes wide-ranging skin problems, physical deformities, and multi-organ failure. Its link to cancer is well established, the number of incidences being directly proportional to the concentration of arsenic in the drinking and cooking water. The water supply in nearly 25 U.S. states is at risk of high arsenic levels according to an NRDC study conducted in 2000. Once arsenic is in the water, it cannot be removed by regular filtering or boiling. Ultra filtration, reverse osmosis, and distillation are the effective methods of elimination.

4. Pharmaceutical Drugs- Many drugs used in the medical field are finding their way into our groundwater systems, eventually ending up in our tap water. These include OTC drugs commonly used for pain relief as well as prescription drugs given for treating different kinds of infections and psychiatric disorders. Part of this drug load might be coming from improperly treated effluent of drug manufacturing units. Patients taking the drugs usually excrete large amounts of them in urine. They reach ground water from the sewage.
 

I use a brita filter. what’s the difference?

According to a University of Arizona study, conducted by the Arizona Laboratory for Emerging Contaminants, several brand name filter pitchers tested, were found to only remove between 49% and 80% of the contaminants claimed to be “effectively” removed. Research has, in fact, suggested that pitcher filters don't actually do a very good job of removing harmful or potentially harmful contaminants at all leaving behind between 20% and 51% of potentially harmful contaminants in your drinking water. Brita filters do not kill microorganisms or bacteria. Another disadvantage is that Brita filters, especially the pitcher filters, are not certified to eliminate cysts such as cryptosporidium and giardia, though they are certified to remove most other contaminants.

The difference is ultimately that the Brita and other pitcher filtrations systems, do an OK job of getting the bad stuff out (we guess), but fall short on adding any of the good stuff back in (minerals etc.). Sovran Water has a process which reduces the contaminants to a minuscule 0.002 microns, AND THEN adds back in all of the beneficial pieces that were taken out during the reverse osmosis process. The other filters simply try and get the bad stuff out.
