how long you can keep this water in bottlers?
Posted by veronica arreguine | December 6, 2010, 9:29 pmHi Veronica, When alkaline water is bottled it can retain its ORP value for about 48 hours. pH levels can be maintained for much longer, but will diminish after time.
Posted by Phineas K. | December 9, 2010, 12:05 amAren’t all these ionic water systems overpriced? Is it possible to obtain good quality drinking water from a carbon filtering process? If so what is the best type available?
