Some people just have to use reverse osmosis with their water ionizers. Certain things only reverse osmosis or some other nano-filtration system can do [such as removing sodium and dissolved solids in the water].

I don’t want to make reverse osmosis sound too easy, but it’s not very hard.

You need to know what you’re doing though, so for anyone considering setting up a reverse-osmosis-remineralizer-system to use with their water ionizer, this is a must-see! Setting up a reverse osmosis system is something that is done once and then attended to only rarely, if you do the job right in the first place.

Take your time and know before you go on installing an RO.

Some people must use a reverse osmosis system. Who? Why?

• People who have water that is so hard or full of dissolved solids that otherwise they couldn’t get good ionized water from their water ionizer.
• People who want their water to be the cleanest, purest ionized water possible with only the best organic minerals in it.
• People who need to get salt out of their water.

The IonLife Reverse Osmosis System Complete with Remineralizer 

IonLife has a reverse osmosis system that was specifically designed to work well with a water ionizer. It won’t work perfectly with all water ionizers though. If the ionizer has a 3/8 inch water feed line, then it’s likely that its flow rate is too great to work well with a reverse osmosis. Also, if the watts are over 185, it’s doubtful that you’ll be able to slow down your water ionizer enough to be a good match for reverse osmosis. Check with your sales associate before you buy a water ionizer if you have a reverse osmosis.

Not every reverse osmosis has a sufficient amount of water flow, pressure, and mineralization to be compatable with a water ionizer. If you already own a reverse osmosis system, check with us to see if your RO will work with a water ionizer and also to make sure you have a good enough remineralizer.

Easy RO Instructions:

The IonLife Reverse Osmosis System comes with instructions, but they are very confusing to follow. Here is a copy of them: http://alkalinewaterplus.info/blog/uploaded/RO-instructions.pdf

In this blog post we are giving you a set of instructions that you will be able to follow much more easily. The videos along with the descriptions, below, are meant to outline, sequence and clarify the IonLife’s instructions in the above pdf. 

RO Instructions Made Easy [Watch videos, below, for clarification]

1.  Check the air pressure in the RO tank and make sure it’s adjusted to 13 psi

2.  Install the ball valve  to top of RO tank [use plumber’s tape -- see video & instructions]

3.  Install the Drain Clamp [see instructions], and hook the black drain hose to the the RO  [see video & instructions' diagram]

4.  Install the “shut off” for the red “water feed” line and hook the water feed hose to the input side of the double filter housing.

5. Install a short hose from the “out” side of the double filter housing to the auto shut-off valve. [see diagram]

6.  Hook up the yellow hose between the auto shut-off valve and the ball-valve of the tank.

7.  Check the system for leaks.

a.  Double-check every connector to make sure all are pushed in completely. Also check the tightness of the filter housings.

b.  Install a simple output shut-off in the line going to the ionizer or connect the water output hose to  the RO faucet that came with your RO system and use that as a shut-off.

c.  Turn the tank ball-valve to “off” and the output shut-off to “off”

d.  Turn the water on at the input shut-off.

e.   Check the system thoroughly for leaks. Wait 10 minutes …check again.

8.  Turn output shut-off  to “on”to check if water flow is good…let the system drain for a few minutes then turn it back off.

9.   Fill the tank. Do this by turning the output shut-off to “off” and turn the ball-valve to “on”.

10. Wait 2 hours while tank fills completely.

11. Open the output shut off [in the “on” position] so as to drain the entire tank. Wait an hour.

12. Stop draining the system by  turning the output shut-off  to the “off” position.

13. Now the output hose can be connected to the ionizer.

Water Ionizers will help filter out some of the pharmaceuticals and poisons, but not all.

Back in 2002 a study by the USGS [United States Geological Survey] revealed traces of pharmaceuticals and other man-made poisons showing up in our water supplies. Since then other studies, such as an extensive study by the associated press, have exposed more and more drugs and other poisons that are making their way back into our drinking water. These drugs are scary enough on their own [anti-depressants, hormones, pain killers, etc.], but combined…who knows what the effect into the future will be. Literally, wherever testing was done, drugs were found in the drinking water. So, cities which were not implicated in having particular drugs in their water probably do have them, but just hasn’t been tested for them yet. No mandatory testing has been passed through congress, even though years have passed since the drugs-in-our-water problems were exposed. Here is one of the many news videos on the subject:

When is the FDA and/or EPA going to require all water to be tested for pharmaceuticals? I wouldn’t trust that it’s going to happen any time soon. The reason I think this is …look at all the municipalities still fluoridating water! Years ago fluoride was seen in many studies as a link to learning disabilities, Alzheimer’s, fluoridosis in young children, and other diseases. It’s also been proven that the only actual benefit for fluoride is when it’s applied topically [i.e. in toothpaste]. We literally take the toxic waste from the aluminum manufacturing plants [AKA - fluoride] and dump it intentionally into the water supply! How dumb is that?! So, with a track record like that, I’m not going to bet on the government, all by itself — with no pressure from massive amounts of people, is going to fix the pharmaceutical problem. Here’s one of many fluoride warning videos:

Here’s another reason I don’t trust the government to anytime soon fix this problem: Look at the newest water treatment chemical being dumped into our water: chloramine! Chlorine kills the germs, and is easy to filter out of the water, but chloramine [chlorine combined with ammonia] is now the water disinfectant of choice! Chloramine is much harder to remove from your drinking water and it requires special filtration. The Jupiter and KYK companies so far have included filtering material in their filters for Chloramine, but not all companies have caught up with this latest government craze.

With all that being said, there is some help for ordinary people to protect against the fluorides, chloramines, and now pharmaceudicals.: water ionization. Of course water ionizers will not completely eradicate the drugs-in-our-water problem, but here are some of the ways they can help:

• One of the best ways to protect yourself from all the junk is to install an Reverse-Osmosis-Remineralizer system and water ionizer. It will remove the junk for one, but then also the water will be so much healthier for you that you will hopefully not be one of those people contributing to the pharmaceuticals problem [because you won't be using them].
• Or just get a water ionizer. A water ionizer all by itself will help eliminate over 85% of the acidic elements in the water. Fluoride is acidic, so falls in this category. Plus, as stated above, if you’re healthier, you won’t be contributing to the problem as much.

• With your water ionizer purchase, you can order a fluoride, lead and arsenic pre-filter and/or many other pre-filters.

Is reverse-osmosis good enough? No. This will still be contributing to the problem, because it’s not healthy for you to drink water that has no minerals in it. It’s dead-water and tends to become acidic and unhealthy for you.

What about reverse-osmosis-remineralized water. That’s better, but the healthiest water [provided it's made with clean, non-toxic, water] is ionized water. There simply is no comparison.
