You’ve probably heard about the miracle water that comes out of ionizing water treatment devices. These machines range in price from $1,000 to $4,500 and claim to have incredible health benefits for the body. Claims like curing cancer, diabetes, and heart disease are not uncommon.
The first thing that you should know is that there is absolutely no solid scientific research from any independent reputable source that supports any of the claims of the filters including improved health, micro-clustered water, improved body pH, and anti-oxidant water.
Water is one of the best solvents on good old planet earth. That means that lots and lots of things easily dissolve in it… and that means that there is no such thing as natural pure water. In other words, pure H2O doesn’t exist naturally. Even typical home distillers don’t remove 100% of the things dissolved in water. It’s important to understand that basic science fact because some of the things dissolved in water are good for you and some of the things are not.
The issue is not to have pure water. The real issue is that the water be safe. The water you drink, cook with, and bathe in should be free of the things that can make you sick, cause cancer, cause birth defects, etc. Whatever you rely on to provide you, your family, or your business with safe water must reduce all unsafe contaminants to safe levels.
That’s why it’s important to know what the unsafe contaminants are, what safe levels of those contaminants are (not necessarily EPA standards), and what various water filtration devices actually do. For example, some popular water filters reduce cyst contamination by 95% or even 99%, but the real safe level is that it be reduced by 99.9999999%. There is no point in buying filters that don’t result in safe water.
