Abstract
A process for producing improved alkaline water includes filtering potable source water to remove selected particles and then purifying the filtered water. Selected alkaline minerals are added to the purified water, with the resulting mineralized water being then electrolyzed to produce streams of acidic water and alkaline water, the alkaline water having a pH within the range of 9-10, a TDS range of 22-240 ppm (parts per million) and alkalinity in the range of 12-216 ppm.
Claims28
A process for producing improved alkaline drinking water, comprising the steps of:
- filtering potable source water to remove particles greater than a preselected size;
- directing the filtered source water through a water purification unit to produce purified water with total dissolved solids no greater than 10 parts per million;
- adding selected alkaline minerals to the purified water so that the resulting mineralized water has a selected mineral concentration of between 20-200 parts per million;
- and
- electrolyzing the mineralized water to produce alkaline water with a pH in the range of 9-10, wherein total dissolved solids of the alkaline water is within the range of 22-240 parts per million and alkalinity thereof is within the range of 12-216 parts per million.
An improved alkaline drinking water product, comprising:
- potable water which has been filtered and purified, with a total dissolved solids of less than 10 parts per million, to which has been added selected alkaline minerals, and which has then been electrolyzed to produce alkaline water having a pH in the range of 9-10, with a TDS (total dissolved solids) of 22-240 ppm and an alkalinity of 12-216 ppm.
A product produced by the process comprising the steps of:
- filtering potable source water to remove particles greater than a preselected size;
- directing the filtered source water through a water purification unit to produce purified water with total dissolved solids no greater than 10 parts per million;
- adding selected alkaline minerals to the purified water so that the resulting mineralized water has a selected mineral concentration of between 20-200 parts per million;
- and
- electrolyzing the mineralized water to produce alkaline drinking water with a pH in the range of 9-10, wherein total dissolved solids of the alkaline water is within the range of 22-240 parts per million and alkalinity thereof is within the range of 12-216 parts per million.
A system for producing improved alkaline drinking water, comprising:
- a water filter for filtering potable source water applied thereto to remove particles greater than a preselected size;
- a water purification unit for producing purified water from filtered water with total dissolved solids no greater than 10 parts per million;
- means for adding selected alkaline minerals to the purified water so that the resulting mineralized water has a selected mineral concentration of between 20-200 parts per million;
- and
- an electrolytic cell assembly for electrolyzing the mineralized water to produce alkaline water with a pH in the range of 9-10, wherein total dissolved solids of the alkaline water is within the range of 22-240 parts per million and alkalinity thereof is within the range of 12-216 parts per million.
