Since 2013, water utilities’ testing has found pollutants in Americans’ tap water, according to an EWG drinking water quality analysis of more than 31 million state water records. And just because contaminants are found to be below the EPA legal limits, does not necessarily mean that they are safe.
EWG Health Guidelines fill the gap in outdated government standards.
The EWG has compiled the public records of water municipalities all across the United States, and it is this data that I use to prepare your custom water quality report.
When it comes to drinking water, a passing grade from the government does not necessarily mean the water is safe. The federal government’s legal limits are not health-protective. The EPA has not set a new tap water standard in almost 20 years, and some standards are more than 40 years old.
Because these federal drinking water standards have not been updated in decades, the regulatory process does not take into consideration the heightened vulnerability to toxic chemicals of children, infants and the developing fetus. Many chemicals that are now known to pose considerable risks lack enforceable federal health standards, leaving the public susceptible to harm from new and emerging contaminants in tap water.
EWG standards are not based on compromises polluters and politicians find acceptable, or the cost of cleaning up drinking water supplies. Rather, to arrive at these standards, the EWG has reviewed the best and latest scientific evidence, legal standards and health advisories, and then defined water quality goals that will truly protect public health.
Ultimately, when it comes to the water in your own home, YOU set the standard.
When it comes to the water you are drinking, washing your food with, and bathing yourself, your pets, and your family in, it is ultimately up to you to determine the level of contamination you find acceptable, and then to take the appropriate measures to remove the necessary contaminants.
Finding out what exactly IS in your tap water is the first step in this process.
Once you have received your report from me, you will have the ability to schedule a complimentary zoom call with me where we can discuss your report, take a look at each of the contaminants it contains and their levels of concentration, discuss the potential concerns regarding those contaminants, and go over some different options to remove these contaminants from your water.
Be sure to keep an eye out in your email for your Tap Water Quality Report, as it will include the link to my calendar where you can schedule that call. You should be receiving your report in 1 to 2 business days.

You may have heard various health claims about alkaline water. Some say it can help slow the aging process, regulate your body’s pH level, and prevent chronic diseases like cancer. But what exactly is alkaline water, and why all the hype?
The “alkaline” in alkaline water refers to its pH level. The pH level is a number that measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is on a scale of 0 to 14. For example, something with a pH of 1 would be very acidic and something with a pH of 13 would be very alkaline.
Standard drinking water generally has a neutral pH of around 7. Alkaline drinking water typically has a pH of 8 or 9. Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular drinking water. Because of this, some advocates of alkaline water believe it can neutralize the acid in your body.
Research has shown that drinking alkaline water or eating alkaline food does not specifically alter your body’s pH balance, however an alkaline diet may assist your body in being more easy able to regulate and maintain its own required pH balance, reducing the strain on the body.
However, pH alone isn’t enough to impart substantial alkalinity to water.
The alkalinity of a substance measures it’s ability to neutralize an acid – the higher the alkalinity of a substance, the less of it is needed to neutralize the acid. Some alkaline (pH greater than 7.0) liquids have a much higher alkalinity than others.
Another key measurement is the Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP). The ORP value shows the liquid’s ability to either reduce oxidation (anti-oxidant) or increase oxidation (oxidant). The more negative the ORP value, the more antioxidizing the water is.
There are two types of alkaline water, chemically created alkaline water, and electrolyzed-reduced water known as “ionized alkaline water”.
Chemically Created Alkaline Water (aka: Bottled Alkaline Water)
The typical alkaline water that you can purchase in stores is water that has been chemically changed to increase its pH. The water’s pH level has been inorganically raised above 7.0 by the addition of synthetic chemicals and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, and baking soda. If you are buying bottled water that is labeled “Alkaline”, you could very easily just be drinking expensive baking soda water, which can actually be harmful in large amounts. What’s worse is that this type of chemically created alkaline water actually has little to no proven health benefits.
Electrically Created Ionized Alkaline Water (aka: ERW, Alkalized, & Kangen Water)
Ionized alkaline water starts out as ordinary tap water, but it is transformed through an ELECTRICAL process to increase its pH balance.
This electrolysis process raises the pH of the water above 7.0, and produces ionized, alkaline, hydrogen rich water by using electric currents to change the natural molecular structure of the water, without the addition of chemicals or synthetic compounds.
Water produced thru this process is also known as electrolyzed-reduced water (ERW). ERW is electrolyzed-reduced hydrogen-rich water. Typically ionized alkaline drinking water will have a pH of 8.5 to 9.5.
Electrolysis Process Used to Produce Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW) (aka: ionized alkaline water, alkalized water, Kangen Water®)
In this electrolysis process, regular tap water becomes water that is micro-clustered and super hydrating. It becomes hydrogen-rich water that is loaded with anti-aging antioxidants. And it becomes water that aids in detoxification, flushing toxins and acidic wastes out of our cells like true nature’s water was intended to do.
Ionized alkaline water delivers a massive amount of molecular hydrogen molecules, which attract and & neutralize the free radicals causing daily damage & premature aging within our bodies. (FACT: Free radicals are the result of poor diet, stress, pollution, chemicals, medications, and more.)

Does it Really Work?
Like so many things that are not widely understood, alkaline water by itself is somewhat controversial.
Many health professionals say there isn’t enough research to support the many alkaline water benefits and health claims made by users and sellers.
Differences in research findings may be related to the types of alkaline water studies, the differences between chemically created alkaline water and electrically created ionized alkaline water (Kangen Water®), and a general misunderstanding by the public that they are in fact different.
Often people just refer to “Alkaline Water”, yet they have no idea which kind of water they are referring to, and may not even be aware that there is a difference.
As with many “new” and emerging ideas and technologies, this general lack of education and a common misunderstanding between the two different types of alkaline water has lead to a large number of skeptics concerning the actual alkaline water benefits.
One easy way to know which type of “alkaline” water you are getting, is to be aware that ionized alkaline water does not have a long shelf-life, and so it cannot be bottled or sold commercially.
If you are buying water in a store that is packaged or bottled as “alkaline water”, you are simply buying water that has had chemicals added to it to increase it’s pH level, and for this type of water, there are little to no known health benefits.
In order to drink ionized alkaline water, you will need to use a water ionizer machine to produce it. Because of it’s short shelf-life, it is not commercially bottled or sold in stores.
While the health benefits specifically related to the alkalinity factor and pH levels in ionized alkaline water are still being studied, the main focus of most studies concerning ionized alkaline water benefits are looking at the changes in its molecular structure through the electrolysis process and are focused towards the specific benefits of the Molecular Hydrogen created in that process.
In the electrolysis process, the ionized alkaline water becomes infused with molecular hydrogen – and many of the water’s hydrogen-rich health benefits are scientifically proven and medically endorsed for a wide range of uses.
The alkaline pH is an awesome byproduct, but the main benefit of drinking ionized alkaline water is truly the molecular hydrogen and ALL of the proven health benefits that go along with it.
Aside from the molecular hydrogen, one of the additional benefits of the alkaline water is that it works as an osmotic, assisting the water molecules to be more easily absorbed through the cellular membranes and assisting with cellular hydration.
Our cell membranes use a gateway system to allow the diffusion of water molecules and other specific nutrients into the cell. These are called aquaporins. The aquaporins can choose to be open or closed, and when open, facilitate the movement of water into the cell.
It has been shown that pH is directly connected to the function of these aquaporins, and when the pH is increased to an alkaline state, these aquaporins “open up”, allowing the water molecules to pass into the cells. [13]
If you are curious to learn more about this, dive into the research on aquaporins, it’s quite fascinating!.
Alkaline or Acidic – Popular Foods
While drinking ionized alkaline water is obviously recommended to maintain your optimal health, here are some other idea’s which can help you maintain an alkaline-conscious diet and encourage a healthy lifestyle.
Some proponents of an Alkaline Food Diet suggest that eating healthy diet consisting of alkaline foods, and avoiding acidic foods can help your body maintain its health.
While an alkaline food-based diet has not been actually been tied to any specific health concerns, or linked to the treatment of any specific diseases, when you look at many of the foods that are “acidic” by nature, it’s no wonder that cutting them out of your diet, or significantly reducing them would lead to overall an increase in your health.
When you drink Alkaline Water, doesn’t your stomach acid just neutralize it?
This is an extremely popular question and the short answer is YES, your stomach acid DOES neutralize it – but understanding the process will probably surprise you, so let’s look a little closer at what happens when you consume a high pH alkaline water.
The stomach’s resting pH is around 4-5 on the pH scale.
What you put into the stomach effects it’s pH level – but each situation varies, so let’s look at these two considerations.
1.) How much alkaline water is being consumed (in one period) 2.) Is the stomach empty or not
Consuming a tablespoon (sip) of 9.5pH ionized alkaline water will have little effect on the pH of the stomach’s pH, especially if consumed during or immediately after eating. The alkalinity of the water will react with the acidic stomach acid and the alkaline water will be neutralized.
However, consuming 16-20 oz of 9.5 pH water on an empty stomach will temporarily dilute the stomach acid as it passes through.
Since water is the only thing that the stomach does not need to break down or digest, this just allows the alkaline water to either be absorbed by the body from the stomach, or to pass thru into your small intestine, which loves the alkalinity (it’s ideal pH is 8.8). [1]
In the small intestine, the water passes through about 20 feet of intestine and the surface area of a tennis court (~250 sq. meters) where it is readily and easily absorbed into the blood, cells, tissues and organs throughout the body. What is not absorbed continues to pass thru the body until it reaches the bladder and is expelled. [1]
Because the ionized alkaline water in large amounts has the ability to temporarily increase the pH of the stomach, and raising the pH of the stomach during digestion can be mildly disruptive or slow the digestion process, it is not recommended to drink ionized alkaline water during a meal. Dr. Parker’s water protocol suggests limiting the consumption of large quantities of ionized alkaline water to 45min prior and 30 min following any meal, and drinking only 7.0 (neutral) clean water during your meal. [2]
Some have found that it can be beneficial to drink water with your meal and suggest that drinking small amounts of water with your meals is a good way to speed up overall digestion.
One study showed that water consumed during or after taking in solid food mixes in with the food and aids digestion more quickly.
The study recruited volunteers to drink ordinary water that included deuterium, a hydrogen isotope, that enabled researchers to track each gulp throughout the body. The water started showing up in the bloodstream within five minutes; half was absorbed in 11 to 13 minutes, and the remainder was completely absorbed within 75 to 120 minutes. [3]
Another study done in 2012, indicated that ionized alkaline water is not immediately neutralized by the stomach acid, in fact, when consumed in larger amounts (a glass of water rather than a sip), it is the ionized alkaline water that actually neutralizes the stomach acid temporarily. [3]
This lab research study found that water with a pH of 8.8 did seem to inactivate pepsin, an enzyme related to the production of hydrochloric acid (the kind found in your stomach). The ionized alkaline water also had a buffering effect against hydrochloric acid itself. “These in vitro data suggest that alkaline water may be a useful, risk-free adjunctive treatment for reflux disease”. [4]
Once the water has passed thru the stomach and into the small intestines, the stomach pH returns to its normal resting pH awaiting the arrival of its next digestion project.
In order to lower the pH in the stomach, Hydrochloric Acid is released. But just like any reaction, creating the acidic release of HCl into the stomach, causes a release of alkaline chemicals into the blood-stream.
This is also referred to as an Alkaline Tide and occurs any time that the body releases alkaline ions into the blood stream, temporarily raising the pH. [5]
While the ionized alkaline water you drank is being neutralized by the acid in the stomach, the process of neutralization the body uses to lower the pH of the stomach, releases alkaline into the blood stream – so by drinking ionized alkaline water, you get a net positive alkaline effect on the body.
The pH of Your Body
It is important to note, that the body and blood pH are very closely regulated by the body – the range is 7.35 – 7.45 and the healthy body does an excellent job of maintaining this pH – so drinking ionized alkaline water or eating alkaline foods is not intended to upset the balance or change the actual pH of the body… it simply provides the body the additional alkalinity it needs to maintain balance rather than having to produce it all on its own – thereby reducing the stress on the body.
Alkaline or acid that is produced by the body must have an equal and opposite acid or alkaline produced by the body; therefore, there is no net gain.
However, alkaline supplied from outside the body, like drinking alkaline water, results in a net gain of alkalinity in our body. (PS – this is good!) [6]
When we are born, our bodies are fully hydrated and alkaline in nature, and as we age, our bodies struggle to keep up because we are often introducing more acidic (food/drinks) to our bodies than alkaline, and are more than likely not consuming the amount of water on a daily basis that our body needs to stay hydrated.
The body of a newborn is composed of more water (75%) than that of an elderly person (50%). Diseases thrive in acidic environments, and one of the best ways to prevent and reduce those diseases, is to change the environment they live in. [7]
One of the easiest ways to change the internal environment of our body, is to be drinking ionized alkaline water, and eating a nutritional healthy diet.
Water and Our Body
The average body of an adult human being contains over 60% water. Most of the water in the human body is contained inside our cells which is two-thirds of the water you drink. Did you know that our billions of cells must have water to live?
Key Facts:
The total amount of water in our body is found in three main locations: within our cells (two-thirds of the water), in the space between our cells and our blood (one-third of the water). [7]
The amount of water a body contains varies according to certain contexts: The body of a newborn is composed of more water (75%) than that of an elderly person (50%). [7]
The body holds on to water when you don’t have enough or gets rid of it if you have too much. If your urine is very light yellow, you are well hydrated. When your urine is very dark yellow, it’s probably time to drink up. [7]
Water act as a lubricant to organs, remove waste, regulate body temperature, and aid the body in nutrient absorption. [7]
How Much Water is Enough?
Because water is so important, you might wonder if you’re drinking enough to stay hydrated.
Staying hydrated is crucial to living a healthy and well-balanced life. In order for the body to stay properly hydrated, it is recommended to drink the equivalent of 50-75% of your body weight in ounces of water each day.
50% is the recommended level for basic hydration.
75% should be used by those with a more active lifestyle, or in specific situations (high-heat situations such as outdoor labor, cardio or high-endurance workouts, fighting off a cold or sickness, etc.)
Example: Body weight = 140 lbs 50% = 70lbs = 70 ounces of water each day 75% = 105lbs = 105 ounces of water each day
How is Water Absorbed into our Bodies?
On an empty stomach, water can pass through your stomach, and small intestine into your bloodstream in as little as five minutes. When drinking water during a meal or after a meal, it could take the same amount of water anywhere from 45-120 minutes to absorb. [8]
When it comes to the digestion process, all foods and liquids are broken down by the digestive process into smaller molecules that the body can use.
Since water is already a very simple molecule, our body doesn’t have to break it down into smaller, simpler molecules. Digestion of water is not needed so it is able to be absorbed by the body as it is.
As a matter of fact, water molecules are so small that they diffuse through the phospholipid bilayer that forms the cell membrane of human tissues.
With ionized alkaline water this diffusion process is made even easier due to the osmotic (osmosis inducing) properties of the ionized alkaline water, which is able to speed the absorption process, and deliver hydration even more quickly on cellular levels.
This is one more of the incredible feats that can be added to the growing list of ionized alkaline water benefits.
This phospholipid bilayer, or cell membrane, (presumably) consists of small channels or pores through which water or water-soluble substances can enter, meaning that water is directly absorbed through the epithelial cells that cover humans’ intestinal tract.
In short, this means that the small intestine is responsible for the absorption of most of the water that we consume. [9]
Alkaline Water Benefits
The wide range of ionized alkaline water benefits are still being studied, with more and more information coming out every day.
What I think is both interesting and challenging with all of the ionized alkaline water benefits, is that it is difficult to separate out the individual attributes as far as what is related to the molecular hydrogen in the water, what is specifically related to the alkalinity and pH of the water, what is specifically related to the enhanced absorption properties of the alkaline water, and what is specifically related to the possibility of micro-clustering occurring within the ionized alkaline water.
I do know that there is something very unique and exciting about ionized alkaline water, and that all the studies I’ve found indicate some incredible results.
One of the best recommendations I have for people who are curious and really want to see how the ionized alkaline water benefits them specifically, is to try the water on a consistent basis for a few weeks and see what changes you physically notice.
If you were asked to choose what is most important to your health – Sleep, Food, or Water… what would you choose?
If you chose water, you are correct!
The human body is comprised of nearly 70% water, so it’s not much of a stretch to say that “the basis of vitality and long life is water.”
If you want to feel good and be at your optimal health level, you must drink water on a daily basis.
But just exactly what kind of water are you made of? Well.. that depends on the water you are drinking.
Not all water is created equal – let’s take a look at why.
A Look At The Contaminants in Water
Tap Water / Ground Water
Tap water is a healthier option than soft drinks. But according to the Environmental Working Group, there have been 315 pollutants found in America’s tap water since 2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally exist in any amount. Yuck.
Sometimes you can see, smell or taste the contaminants in water – but most of the time your water looks, smells, and tastes fine. But is it? The Water Quality Association says:
“Not necessarily…. Microbial and organic contaminants cannot always be detected by human senses. You might go years before realizing a problem exists. Many folks never become suspicious until people in the community start to get sick. Water near agricultural areas may contain harmful organic material from pesticide or fertilizer application. Chemicals from pesticides and fertilizers in water may increase cancer risk and reproductive problems, and can impair eye, liver, kidney, and other body functions. Similar problems can result from exposure to water near industrial plants.” [1]
Do you know what’s in your tap water? Here is a list of the top common pollutants in tap water. [1]
Aluminum
Ammonia
Arsenic
Barium
Cadmium
Chloramine
Chlorine
Chromium
Copper
Fluoride
Bacteria & Viruses
Lead
Nitrates/Nitrites
Mercury
Perchlorate
Radium
Selenium
Silver
Uranium
At the current levels of contaminates in water, the public is starting to question the quality of tap water and wonders if it is safe enough to drink. This is leading to an increase in filtered and bottled water and contributing to the huge amount of plastic waste.
Bottled Water
Bottled water is not necessarily healthier than tap water and yet it costs so much more!
Often bottled water is filtered using reverse osmosis, and frequently the only difference between tap and bottled water is the added inorganic minerals in bottled water (which have no proven health benefits).
A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council shows that 1/3 of the bottled water tested contains levels of contamination which exceed allowable limits. Make’s you wonder why you are paying for bottled water, doesn’t it!
Testing for Microplastics in Bottles Water
In another study, 250 bottles of water were randomly purchased. These researchers tested in over nine countries, including the USA, with the same results—plastics particulates were found in 93% of the samples, and these were from the major water companies—Nestle, San Pellegrino, Dasani, Evian, Aqua, and Aquafina. When confronted, all brands tested told the BBC that their bottled water products were “produced to the highest standards”.
Note: in the plastic particulates study above, only plastic pieces that were larger than 100 microns were counted, meaning that there is actually more plastic in the water than expected. 100 microns is about the size of a human hair, which when you think about it, is a pretty large chunk of plastic to be consuming with our water. There were many more particles found that were under the size of 100 microns (down to 6.5 microns even), they just weren’t counted in this particular study. [3]
Because we are conditioned to believe that bottled water is healthier than tap water, we often overlook the costs and extremely high markups associated with buying bottled water. (You can expect to be paying at least 4,000% markups on bottled water, as compared to the manufacturing costs involved.) [4] [5]
Take a look at this chart below and you can see what your annual water costs might be based on the different bottled water options available. Plus there’s a 15 year cost analysis included which I think shows how much these minor expenses can really add up over time.
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Quote: “We generally pay much less for our tap water than we do for most other goods and services…On average, tap water costs are slightly more than $2 per 1,000 gallons…Each of us, on average, uses over 100 gallons of water per day for everything from drinking and bathing to watering our gardens…This equates to an average annual water bill of about $300 per household“ [3]
NOTE: Figures were calculated based on a family of four, using a recommended daily water consumption formula of ½ the bodyweight of each individual in ounces of water: Father – 190 lbs, Mother – 160 lbs, 13-year-old son – 100 lbs, 10-year-old daughter – 75 lbs. Weights based on National Center for Health Statistics for average weights of individuals living in the US. This family should consume 262.5 ounces, or 2.05 gallons, of water each day. The calculations above have been figured using 2 gallons of daily consumption. [3]
The 15-year KangenWater information is based on the ionizer model SD501, with a retail price of $3,980.00. It also includes the cost of a high-grade filter, replaced annually; 2 cleaning cartridges, used annually; 5 deep cleaning services – completed once every 3 years, and the average cost of tap water, as indicated by the US EPA, at the rate of $.002 per gallon. [3]
I’ve certainly bought and drank my fair share of bottled water, and I can’t believe how much I’ve actually spent on bottled water over the years if I really think about it.
But to be fair, I knew my tap water was “bad”, and I simply thought, like so many others do, that bottled water was “good”. And now, I know better.
We have known for some time now that bottled water wasn’t a long-term solution to avoid or replace our tap and drinking water. And now, thanks to these top-of-the-line filtration systems and water ionizer machines, we have a sustainable solution.
Now that we know better… we can start to do better. For ourselves, for our loved ones, for our pets, and for the planet.
And one more thing about all those plastic water bottles – the environmental impact caused by the production and disposal of plastic bottles is incredibly harmful to our ecosystem.
Did you know 8,000,000 tons of plastic is dumped in the ocean every year? That is equivalent to 5 grocery bags per every foot of coastline around the globe! [6]
Plus, with all that plastic floating in the ocean, now our oceans are getting filled up with all those tiny plastic particulates as well… and causing disruption to the natural eco-system.
In fact, it is estimated that by 2050, our oceans will contain more plastic than fish.
The truth is, bottled water is simply not a sustainable choice, and we have got to do better.
Reverse Osmosis Water
Reverse osmosis is a water purification process that uses a partially permeable membrane to remove ions, molecules and larger particles from drinking water. [2]
Reverse Osmosis may be effective in areas that do not receive municipally treated water and it is commonly used in bottled water facilities.
The problem with this process is that dangerous chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and chlorine are molecularly smaller than water and can pass freely through the reverse osmosis filter.
And when it comes to the larger molecules, while they can do a great job at removing the larger sedimentary pollutants listed in the tap water section above, reverse osmosis systems also remove the good with the bad.
Iron, calcium, and magnesium are a few of the beneficial minerals that may be removed by the reverse osmosis purification process, depending on the system. These minerals not only provide the water with a good taste, they also serve a vital function in the body’s system.
When stripped of all of these good minerals, water can become unhealthy. Purified water is often referred to as “dead water” because of this.
Sometimes, thru a process called re-mineralization, synthetic chemical versions of these beneficial minerals are even added back into the purified water.
Unfortunately, other than enhancing the flavor of the water, these synthetic minerals have little to no proven health benefits and are less likely to be processed by your body.
Often the water produced from a RO system can even be more acidic than bottled water and is something to consider when drinking it directly from the faucet.
To combat this, some RO systems even give you the option of adding in even more inorganic chemicals (such as baking soda and Epsom salts) to your purified water at the end in order raise the pH to an alkaline state. (Please note: this chemically created alkaline water has little to no proven health benefits.)
To make matters even worse, 2-3 gallons of water are wasted for every single gallon of purified water produced through the reverse osmosis process.
Drinking Water Filtration Systems and Whole-Home Filtration Systems
There are many different types of filtration systems – some purify the water using the process of Reverse Osmosis (discussed above), and some are filtration systems that use different filters (bone char, activated carbon, charcoal, solid carbon block, etc.) to remove chemicals, bacteria and impurities, and others simply filter out sediment changing your “hard-water” into “soft-water”.
Multipure’s carbon block drinking-water and whole-home filtration systems are NSF certified for removal of up to 90 different contaminants. They can be used in conjunction with water ionizer machines, in fact they are the perfect duo, and I that’s why I never recommend one without the other.
If you are interested in learning more about the different types of filtration systems available from Multipure, please visit my Multipure Webpage.
Water ionizer machines, like the one pictured, offer you a way to reduce your own plastic waste, and to do your part to contribute to environmental sustainability and the health of the planet.
These machines allow you to filter and use the tap water straight from your faucet, and transform it into what many call the most incredible drinking water on the planet! The ionized alkaline water is hydrogen rich, and packed full of antioxidants.
Electrolyzed-reduced water is ionized alkaline water that has been filtered to remove impurities, and gone thru an ELECTRICAL process to increase its pH balance. This water’s pH level has been raised above 7.0 by the process of electrolysis.
The electrolysis process produces ionized, alkaline, hydrogen-rich water by using electric currents to change the natural molecular structure of the water, without the addition of chemicals or synthetic compounds. Hydrogen-rich water has some pretty incredible health benefits and is one of the main reasons the demand for this ionized alkaline water is constantly increasing!
Just a reminder – ionizer machines are designed specifically as water ionizers and not as filtration systems. While the ionizers don’t filter out all of these impurities from the tap water with their standard filters, they do filter out the chlorine, and can be used with several different pre-filtration systems which will filter many other pollutants out before running your tap water through your ionizer machine.
As mentioned above, pre-filters are strongly encouraged for use with any water ionizer machines, and Multipure is the industry leader, and your “go to” for all NSF certified filter systems in the US and Canada. For more information, please visit my Multipure webpage.

Water is essential for your survival, but poor quality water can harm your health. Though most of us drink water that has been treated by our city before it comes to our tap, this water may still contain some contaminants that are bad for our health. At the very least, water may not appear as clear or taste and smell as fresh as you want due to physical contaminants like traces of sediment.
When using an ionizer, it is important to be using the cleanest source water possible, so it is always recommended to use a pre-filtration system such as the Multipure Aquaperform to filter your tap water prior to ionization.
The AquaPerform is NSF certified to remove over 85+ different contaminants, so you can ensure you will have the cleanest water possible running through your ionizer machine.
This crucial step will prolong the life of your ionizer machine’s internal filter and improve the ionization properties of the water that is produced.
And it will also ensure you are giving your body the absolute best clean, clear, contaminant-free ionized water possible.
Here are a few great reasons to filter your water before ionizing.
While many of the contaminants in tap water are able to be filtered out by your ionizer machine’s internal carbon filter, some are not. The AquaPerform is certified to remove over 85+ different contaminants, which is more than any other carbon-based filter on the market!
While some bacteria, viruses, and fungi are destroyed during the electrolysis process, many are not.
Impurities and contaminants in the source water can slow the flow of electricity in the water, making the ionization process less effective, resulting in less antioxidants in the electrolyzed-reduced water.
Pre-filtering your water will extend the life of your ionizer’s internal filter.
Pre-filtering your water also protects against substances that eat away the platinum, which can create pitting and dramatically decrease the useful life of the electrolysis plates inside your ionizer.
Using a pre-filter can also improve the taste of your ionized water.
Multipure systems can operate as stand-alone filtration systems, or they can work in conjunction with water ionizers, providing you, your family, and your pets water that you can drink with confidence and peace of mind, knowing that it’s safe, healthy and delicious.

Head on over to the Water Filtration Comparison Page to take a look and see why Multipure is setting the standard in the water filtration industry around the world.
On this page I’ve pull together a ton of research on many different water filtration options in order to compare them easily with the Multipure Aquaperform system – I spent the time researching so you don’t have to!
For a quick look at the exact contaminants removed by each of the systems above, please visit the manufacturer’s website via the link below:
Ion Faucet is a faucet company that also sells 3rd party filters. They do not manufacturer or test their filters, and each installation uses a combination of several different filters made of different materials. Each different filter configuration is intended to remove different contaminants. IonFaucet’s filters are not NSF certified, and no contaminant reduction list is available.
When it comes to choosing the best water filter for your needs, take a look at this comparison list provided by waterfiltercomparisons.com
(Note – this site is powered by Aquasana, and I am not affiliated with them or their website – whether their ratings are entirely accurate, I’m not sure – however their product specifications seem to be accurate, so I’ve included the information they provided below for your convenience.)
The Multipure Difference:
Multipure’s AquaPerform is not listed on Aquasana’s comparison site as it far exceeds even Aquasana’s own products. I have included the details for the Aquaperform below, and given the performance specs and other details, I will let you compare and contrast, and determine your own “rank” for Multipure’s AquaPerform system.
A note about sub-par or “knock-off” filters from the President of Multipure….

Pitcher Water Filters
Although pitcher-type water filters provide an economical filtration option, they are not ideal. With low filter capacity issues, you’ll need to change these filters very often to maintain proper filtration. It is very common for these pitcher-type water filters to become a breeding ground for chlorine-resistant bacteria and parasites like Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and Legionella.
But for the sake of comparison, let’s go ahead and take a look at the ratings given by Aquasana over at waterfiltercomparison.com
Reverse Osmosis Water Filters
Reverse Osmosis systems filter out not only the contaminants, but also the good beneficial organic compounds in the water, leaving you with water that has been stripped completely, and often referred to as “dead water”.
Often times, this filtered water then undergoes a process of “remineralization” where inorganic “ingredients” are added back into the water to improve the taste. If your water has ingredients, it is not natural.
In addition, reverse osmosis systems generate a large amount of waste water, and some systems require up to 20 gallons of water just to produce 1 single gallon of “purified” water.
The far reaching issues with our reliance on the reverse osmosis process in the bottled water industry is finally starting to come into the light – if you’d like to learn more about this, please send me a message, or use the chat feature on this page.
Due to the disruptive qualities of Reverse Osmosis filtration systems, I have chosen not to include information about any specific RO systems here.
