How Does an Alkaline Water filter Work?
Alkaline water filters.. Should be a simple concept, right? You put water into a water filter and you change its pH to something more alkaline, right? Er.. yes.. but there’s more to know before any decision. 0% Type caption (optional) ALKALINE: A DEFINITION The alkalinity of an alkaline water filter’s output can be indicated with a pH meter. A pH meter provides a value as to how acidic or alkaline a liquid is. The pH meter measures concentration of hydrogen ions in water. Acids dissolved in water forming positively charged hydrogen ions (H+). The greater this concentration of hydrogen ions, the more acidic the liquid may be. Water Alkalinity or Acidity Water is neutral at a reading of pH 7. A lesser reading means the water is acid. pH 6 is 10x more acidic than pH 7 and pH 5 is 100x more acidic than pH7. A higher reading indicates alkalinity. But wait! There’s more! Yes, a pH meter can indicate alkalinity or acidity of water, but it is only an indication . Other factors ca...
