This setting filters but doesn’t ionize water. It should be used when taking pills or
other medications. Consuming ionized water within an hour of taking medications
can affect a drug's absorption rate resulting in harmful or unintended consequences.
This option is also ideal for use in baby food preparation since ionized water may be
harmful or difficult for children under the age of a year old to digest.
This setting is ideal for cooking since alkaline water dramatically improves the flavor
of vegetables, rice, pastas and soups. Water from this setting is also perfect for
washing fruits and vegetables removing not only dirt and bacteria but also chemical
pesticides and fertilizers far more effectively than regular tap water. It even makes a
great stain remover for removing coffee, oil, grass and other stubborn stains.
Alkaline water at this setting enhances the flavor, color and aroma of both tea and
coffee. In addition, this alkaline water option is ideal as mixer or for making ice
cubes for alcoholic beverages since it helps reduce alcohol's natural acidity.
Moreover, consuming alkaline water at this setting immediately before or after
drinking alcoholic beverages can help minimize or prevent hangovers.
Drinking 2 or more daily glasses of alkaline water acts as a powerful antioxidant and
can help offset the effects of eating highly acidic foods such as meats, egg yokes,
coffee, alcoholic beverages and aids hydration. Antioxidants, such as alkaline
water, have been linked to helping combat everything from premature aging to acid
reflux, arthritis, gastritis, GED, gout, obesity, high cholesterol and even cancers.
If you are new to drinking ionized alkaline water, you should start by consuming
small regular amounts ionized alkaline water at this level daily for a week or two
prior to progressing to the somewhat higher alkaline Daily Drinking water setting
since it may take your body a short while to acclimate to the higher alkaline drinking
water setting.
