Bottled water - RO acidifies water.

[Guest guest]

How does the RO unit change the acidity level of water?

In my investigation, when I was looking at bottling water for sale, I had a

plan to RO the tap water, and then treat it with a 'conditioner unit' -

based on Schauberger's study into water energising.

There was no mention of acidifying water from the RO unit - all it did , was

set up in such a way that more or less of the minerals and salts and

additives were removed.

This ranged from about 20% - to 100%.

The down side was that the more 'filtration' that was required, the more

waste water was flushed down the sink, carrying all the sediments, salts and

solids.

But at no stage was there mentioned any change in the Ph of the water

resulting from treatment.

I cannot see, as the water is 'simply' being filtered through a membranous

system, how the acidity can be altered......?

actually those that can afford it can funnel the acid water to the

shower thereby effectively eliminating the need for soaps in the

shower. my system has an adjustable Ph(3-10) setting so that I can

go with a Ph of 3.0 for cleaning and disinfecting; for drinking

water I set it to 7.5-8.0 a good portion that is laden with

contaminates is still lost, but when one considers that all water

municipalities recycle the water at least 8 times before using

fresh. that is correct your tap drinking water at one point had

human waste products in it!!really more like 8 times it was mixed

with the waste and re-filtered!! then sent to the tap!the best

systems have an adjustable Ph setting,mine was 2600$ and I installed

it myself
