Whats in drinking water? Total Dissolved Solids

Article

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a measurement of everything in your water – good and bad. The amount of TDS in water affects its taste, too little TDS (soft water) , and water tastes flat and insipid. This is why many people find drinking pure water (such as distilled) to be unpleasant. Most water that has high levels of TDS will contain high amounts of calcium and magnesium. When those minerals are present, high levels of TDS in drinking water will cause an unpleasant aftertaste. When water has high levels of calcium and magnesium,  it is called hard water; water with low levels of calcium and magnesium is called soft water. ... read more >>

Buried in the fine print, it says: “Elements not removable – Metallic ions and/or salinity present in the original tap water.” What are Metallic Ions? Metal molecules that have taken on an electrical charge are referred to as metallic ions. Metallic ions are commonly found in tap water, and with... read more >>

Why Drinking Reverse Osmosis Water is Dangerous

Article

Reverse Osmosis removes minerals from water, making it unsafe to drink Reverse Osmosis (RO) is one of the most effective filtration methods available; it removes over 99% of all dissolved solids from water. In a quest for safe water, many people turn to reverse osmosis systems in the mistaken belief that since the water is clean, it is healthy to drink. Astonishingly, nothing could be further from the truth, people who drink reverse osmosis water are in very real danger of becoming mineral deficient, which, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) is detrimental to your health. Water – The Universal Solvent Water is known in chemistry... read more >>

Ionized Mineral Water: Science, not Snake Oil

Article

No such thing as Ionized Water? Skeptics of  ionized water claim that “the term ionized water is meaningless to chemists.” But at the same time, many people claim that there are benefits of ionized water that they have experienced personally. So who’s right? They both are, and here’s why. Water itself can’t be ionized, but the minerals in it can be. That is why the term “ionized water” is meaningless to chemists, if you take the term “mineral” out of ionized mineral water it becomes meaningless, the critics are right, there is no such thing. Much of the advertising and information touting ionized water is misleading for this... read more >>
