Continuing my brief introduction to water filter technology, I have outlined below some pertinent facts regarding Electrolyzed Alkaline Water Filters. This will be the penultimate post in this series of articles designed to give background information to my readers, one more to go and then we move on to more interesting topics.

The theory behind Electrolyzed Alkaline Water Filters was developed over 40 years ago in Russia, and is very simple indeed. By using magnetic plates and a ceramic filament, water can be separated into two distinct streams, one alkaline and one acidic. These two distinctly different types of water, produced from one input stream, have separate applications.

Alkaline based water is mainly used for consumption, far healthier to drink and cook with. Most well known chefs insist that their cooking supply is as Alkaline as possible, as they consider the taste to be more pleasing.

Acidic water is used for cleansing, either of the body or for general household cleaning. The acidic nature of the water means that it is in itself a natural antiseptic. Acidic water has been proven to be better for dermal application, causing healthier results that alkaline water.

Generally an Electrolyzed Alkaline Water Filter will be installed and used to feed separate rooms or areas of the house, enabling the owner to direct the correct type of water for each application. This can be somewhat expensive, as the best of these systems will feature duel plumbing, to allow both acidic and alkaline water to be supplied depending upon the application. Smaller units can be used to process the residential supply and collect the separate streams into a container, to be used as necessary.

It should be noted, that although we do classify this technique as a filtration method, it does not actually cleanse the water in any way, it simply allows the owner to split water by PH value.
