Description:
An alkaline filter is a type of water filtration system that is designed to raise the pH level of the water it processes to make it more alkaline. Alkaline water is believed by some to have health benefits, although the scientific community remains divided on this topic.
An alkaline filter typically works by using a combination of materials and technologies to increase the pH level of the water.
These may include:
Ionization: Alkaline filters use electrolysis or other technologies to split water molecules into acidic and alkaline ions. The alkaline ions are then recombined with the water to create an alkaline solution.
Mineral addition: Some alkaline filters add minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium to the water to increase its pH level.
Activated carbon and other materials: Some alkaline filters use activated carbon, zeolite, or other materials to remove impurities and contaminants from the water, which can help improve its taste and odor.
