How to Make Alkaline Water at Home Naturally
Are you drinking water with a low pH value and are facing any health problems related to acidity?
Apart from several other factors, like your lifestyle and eating habits, drinking water with very low pH (acidic water) can also add to your acidity woes.
Not sure about what alkaline water is and what its benefits are?
Please read this article.
Wondering how you can make alkaline water at home?
Well, that’s quite easy!
Now we will show you several easy ways to make alkaline water at home or increase the pH level of drinking water.
You can make alkaline water naturally at home with things like lemon, cucumber, baking soda, etc.
You can also use alkaline filters and pH drops to change the pH value of water from neutral or acidic to alkaline.
Let’s now look at some different ways to make alkaline water at home.
1. Make Alkaline Water with Baking Soda
Baking soda has high alkaline content (pH value 9) and when you mix baking soda with water it increases the alkaline nature of water.
All you need to do is add half a tablespoon of baking soda to about four litres of drinking water and stir the water until the baking soda dissolves completely.
You can now drink this alkaline water.
2. Make Alkaline Water with Lemons
Does lemon make water alkaline?
Lemon in its natural form is acidic with a pH of about 2, but when added to water, consumed, and once metabolized it actually becomes alkaline with a pH well above 7.
That is why you hear everyone asking to drink a glass of lemon water in the morning.
Fill about 1.5 to 2 litres of water in a jug. Cut one lemon into eight slices and add the lemon slices to the water – but do not squeeze them. Cover the jug and let it sit overnight for 8 to 12 hours at room temperature.
You can drink this water right away. This water tastes great when chilled.
3. Prepare Alkaline Water with pH Drops
You can buy a bottle of pH drops online or from a medical store near you.
pH drops contain highly concentrated alkaline minerals.
Follow the instructions on the pack regarding how many drops to add to the water.
pH drops instantly increase the alkalinity of water.
4. Add an Alkaline Filter to Your Water Purifier
If you are using an RO water purifier (without mineralizer) at your home and the purified water has a pH value of 7 or lower then you can add an alkaline filter to increase the pH value.
This alkaline filter should be added post purification, after UV or post-carbon filter, just before the water is filled in the storage tank.
5. Use an Alkaline Water Filter Pitcher to Make Alkaline Water
You can easily find Alkaline Water filter pitchers like this one from Kent.
Kent alkaline water filter pitcher increases the pH level of water to a pH level of 8.5 – 9.5 for a healthy body and healthy mind.
It also reduces the Oxygen Reduction Potential (ORP) to give you antioxidant alkaline water.
Everyone should drink healthy water to stay healthy. I have used different types of water before but no water is as good as Hege water. This water is naturally alkaline as it is sourced from the foothills of Himalayas which is untouched and unprocessed. It has balanced pH values and TDS levels.
