  Water Filter

  Posted by unknown on October 27, 2023 at 6:10 am

  Hi Bernadette,

  I am looking into RO water filters and found the brand AquaTru where I am. There are two options a normal RO system and an RO plus alkaline filter. What are your thoughts on Alkaline water? Should I go for the normal one of the alkaline?

  Thanks!

  AquaTru is a good RO brand of water filter. Keep in mind however that it removes all impurities, including minerals, so if you do end up getting an RO filter, it’s recommended to re-mineralize your water by adding in 1/8tsp of sea or Himalayan salt per gallon. You can also purchase trace mineral drops like ConcenTrace for example. 

  Regarding alkaline water… The water produced by a standard RO system typically has a neutral pH, which is around 7. This is considered neither alkaline nor acidic.

  Alkaline water has the ability to neutralize acidity in the body, however this means it can also impact stomach acidity. Therefore, if you do drink alkaline water, do so away from meals because we need good strong stomach acid to break down our food.

  Hope this helps you make a more informed choice.
