Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 No, I did not say that. I said, that electrical anti-lime apparatus did cristallize the lime in the water, but at the same time dstroys the negative information in the water from carbendazim, pvc, elektrosmog and radioactivity. Your case is something differenjt. In your case, I would advise a counter top reversed osmosis waterfilter. That is not a filterunit, which will be inswtalled under the sink, but on top of it, and it remains movable, so, if you want to move, you take it with you into another home. Another tip. Normally, on has to replace the filters inside such a resversed osmosis filtering unit every two years. (In your case, I would think every year). However, if you place such an electrical anti-lime apparatus, your R.O. filters will go at least 5 years without replacement. Jug filters are rubbish. They do not filter the water; theyn only make it taste better. F.i. out tapwater overhere may have 450 ppm (generally). With a Brico filter, it goes down to 320 ppm. R.O. water may have only 20-30 ppm in dilluted components. I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi, I used a water additive to raise the pH of my water--from a company called pHion (I too live in an acid area, but also realized I had metabolic acidosis and had tests run.) I used this in conjunction with a Brita pitcher filter, which was the best on the market when I did the online research for this 5? years ago. Worked well for me. They sell them in Walmarts and other housewares stores. Ask if you need more info. Diane aka Evie asurisuk <asurisuk@...> wrote: Because of all the pine forest plantations near me, the water from the private supply i use is acid, ph 5.3 The result is that metals leach from the rock into the water, namely aluminium...195ug/l (legal limit 200) which all the locals are merrily glugging away. Standard jug water filters cut down dramatically on all the metals, or they claim to, (80% for aluminium, more for other metals) But i'm still left with acid water, which i don't like. I'm in rented accommodation so don't want to have to install a filter at the property. Are there any jug filters available? Or does anyone have any ideas? said homeopaths filter their water through lime, which is what is required here, i think. j --------------------------------- Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I am not saying the Brita filter is as good as this type filter, either, Asurisuk. Certainly is correct. I did not have the money to buy the type filter he has suggested and so chose the best pitcher filter I could find. Diane charles <charles@...> wrote: No, I did not say that.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I don't think even an RO filter will necessarily fix the pH problem (I've read it usually has a pH of 6). I would just add some baking soda (although you'll get a little more sodium). Maybe you can add calcium carbonate instead?

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Sorry, Asurisuk, I think we got our wires crossed. (I may have not understood what you were asking for in your original post.) The pH-ion site that I mentioned was for ALKALINE (high pH) water additive, which was also supposed to have a negative ion charge. It is different than mineral or filtered water. You can buy a machine which makes this, but it is very pricey. I think I figured it out once, and I could use the additive for 3 years before I'd have spent the comparable price of the machine. Since I was using the additive for a particular purpose (to lower metabolic serotonin and acidity), I knew I would not need to use the water for more than a couple years, so I chose the additive. There are various supplements which would have also accomplished what I was trying to do, but the water was also comparative price to those. I don't know what product you were looking at there, but when I bought it (for 2 years prior to mid 2006), the additive cost $15/30 day supply. But again, it is a specialized water, and not like either filtered or mineral water.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Well, maybe I didn't misunderstand, Asurisuk, The water additive from pH-ion can raise the alkalinity to at least 7 or 8. But, yes, if you are just looking for water to drink that is normal pH, certainly mineral water would be more cost effective or the filter that mentioned. You would need it for an extended period of time, unlike me.

Shivani replies: Both RO and distilled water are acidic, but it takes very little to change the pH. I add a pinch of baking soda. Also a tiny pinch of calcium carbonate, just for insurance, so if the water is still " mineral hungry " it can easily take in that calcium, instead of mine. Another downsidde of RO systems is the plastic lining the tank and the plastic tubing. This is definitely not good for our endocrine systems. What we have been doiing is making RO water, then running it through a stainless steel distiller into a glass jug, then adding the amendments. This is not perfect, energetically, as all that process affects the quality of the water. However, we then store it in a glass jug with the words " love & gratitude " taped on facing the water. If you have read about Emoto's work, you know that can make a big difference in the energy. We will be moving to our new permaculture farm community next year, where there is great spring water, so are looking forward to that. There are great ways to filter water using only sand, charcoal, etc. that are used in 3rd world countries.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hi Shivani, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure how much baking soda to add to my water which is very acidic (pH of around 5 as far as i remember). I believe that what i'm aiming for is a pH of 7. Any idea how much i should add per litre. Have you done acual pH measurements before and after adding the baking soda? Are you bothered about the calcium carbonate possibly causing kidney stones? best wishes jane You > > I don't think even an RO filter will necessarily fix the pH problem (I've > read > it usually has a pH of 6). > I would just add some baking soda (although you'll get a little more > sodium).

I'm not sure how safe it would be longterm to be drinking water with baking soda in it... I remember trying this once, and got pain in my side. There are various companies which sell drops that you can add to water to raise the pH, but again I don't know which would be the safest for longterm use. An example of one such product is: http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B0002E1QWA Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
