Bottled Water vs. Ionized Water | There is no Comparison!

In this article, I’ll explain why ionized water is a far better choice than bottled water.

Let’s start with ORP.

ORP stands for oxidation reduction potential: which is another way of saying anti-oxidant potential. Here is a chart that shows the ORP of  58 different kinds [brands or sources] of water. Of all the bottled waters the range of ORP is about +350 to +600 on the average. That means you are getting one heck of a lot of free radicals through your water.  Note: tap and well water sources are also in this high range of ORP.  If you look on the chart, at the “Jupiter Science Water” row, you’ll see that the ORP of ionized water using a water ionizer from Jupiter Science is up to -850 [and this will vary according to the source water used]. That’s an incredible difference! With a negative ORP of even -300 it is considered a medical grade of ORP. With this kind of negative ORP you can really antioxidize and get rid of the free radicals in your body!

Now let’s take a look at pH.

PH stands for potential Hydrogen. It is another way of saying how acidic or alkaline a substance is. Our bodies need a slightly alkaline pH [7.365 pH] for health, however this is very challenging for our bodies to do with our modern diets. Without the proper buffers for the alkalinity our bodies need, our bodies have no choice but to rob our joints and bones of calcium to buffer the poisonous acid wastes produced by our cells.

If you look at the pH of the bottled water in the above chart, you’ll see that there’s a wide range of pH in these waters. The lesser expensive water, such as Aquafina, is acidic [5.96 pH], and while some of the spring waters are alkaline, watch out! Because many of the spring waters are gotten from valley springs [which tend to be acidic]. If you need to drink bottled water, look at the lable and try to get the mountain spring water. Make sure the word “mountain” is in the description [otherwise surely it is NOT mountain spring water]. To really provide enough buffers for most modern day diets, I think people should drink water at a pH higher than 9 if possible. The only water on the chart that has a pH higher than 9 is the Jupiter water ionizer’s ionized water. And, that can get up to 11 pH!

Sometimes, it’s true, you do need to drink bottled water.

So here’s what I would do if I were going out of the country, and didn’t trust the water [or otherwise HAD to drink bottled water: I'd bring my Waterman Portable Water Ionizer [little 1-cup water ionizer that doesn't use electricity] and pour mountain spring water into it. I think that would be the best and safest water for traveling into places where I didn’t trust the water. The Waterman Pitcher is so inexpensive and lasts for 800L [you can also refill the cartridge for another 800L for even cheaper], so I think this would be something that anyone could do!

Finally, last but not least, the amount of waste produced by all those bottles isn’t good for the environment.

Even if you recycle, there is a lot of energy waste and pollution caused by so much plastic. The statistics are: a lot of those bottles do not get recycled. Food for some green thought.

Portable vs Regular Alkaline Water Ionizers: How do the Melody and Waterman Compare?

In my last blog I showed you the videos comparing the Waterman Portable Water Ionizer and the Melody Water Ionizer for pH and ORP. Pretty impressive, huh?

I promised I’d show you the comparison chart, and calculate the rH for both, so here it is:

2 1/3 Hours Later…

 The big news here is that the Waterman tiny little portable water-ionizer pitcher did so well in these tests! I’ve tested the Melody water ionizer so many times, I knew that would be great, but the little Waterman? Wow! That’s great news, because you can buy the Waterman for under $60.00. And the cartridges last for 800 liters! Also, replacement cartridges are only around $20.00 each! Nice!

Comparing the pH and ORP of the Waterman Portable Water Ionizer Pitcher with the Melody Water Ionizer after 2 1/4 Hours

There were a few things I was still wondering about after I did my last testing, video and blog about the Waterman Portable Water Ionizer Pitcher.

First of all, I wondered if my ionized water from my Melody water ionizer would be improved by pouring the already ionized water through the Waterman pitcher to ionize it some more. My prediction was that it would be improved by this, but maybe only a little (because the Melody already ionizes my water really well!)

Secondly, I wondered if over time (around an hour — give or take) the pH and ORP of the water ionized with the Waterman Portable Water Ionizer Pitcher would drop just a little or would the ionization effect drop considerably. Also, since I was setting up a third test of pouring the Melody ionizer’s ionized water into the Waterman ionizer-pitcher, I wondered how this pH/ORP would hold up over time as well.

Here are the 4 videos that show the testing and the results…with a brief statement about what you’ll see on each video:

Video 1: melody ionized water vs waterman1of4 …This video (part 1 of 4) shows the rH and ORP testing of both the Melody at level 3 and the Waterman (freshly filtered and ionized).

Video 2: melody ionized water vs waterman2of4 …This video (part 2 of 4) I am killing some time while watching the Waterman filter work by sharing some of my own personal testimonials about drinking ionized water. It’s an interesting historical perspective on water ionizers & a good story.

Video 3: melody ionized water vs waterman3of4 …This video (part 3 of 4) shows the rH and ORP testing of the Melody ionized water poured through the Waterman [double-water-ionization).

Video 4: melody ionized water vs waterman4of4 ...This video (part 4 of 4)  shows the pH and ORP testing of all three [the Melody at level 3, the Waterman, and the Melody ionized water filtered through the Waterman water ionizer] after 2 1/4 hours have elapsed.

I’ve run out of time to evaluate this with a chart. I’ll include a chart in the next blog. But, the bottom line is…The Melody (as I suspected) is far better than the Waterman. The Waterman is far, far, far better than tap water. And to get the convenience of a water ionizer wherever you go, I would suggest you get yourself a Waterman Portable Water Ionizer to bring with you. It is impressive to me and is something that, now that I know how great it is, I don’t want to be without.
