How Much Does Your Water Cost You?

When comparing ionized water, which is water that has been treated with an ionizer to increase its pH level and antioxidant properties, hydrogen water, which is water infused with hydrogen gas to provide antioxidant benefits, and filtered water that you filter yourself, against the cost and health value of bottled water, you will be surprised to see how much more cost-effective a water ionizer is.

Take a look at this chart. The cost of a water ionizer is between $1,000 and $4,000. So, if you purchased a high-end water ionizer for $3000.00 and then replaced the filters every thousand gallons, your average cost per gallon for ionized water would be just 50 cents. Or, if you filtered your water and then ran it in a hydrogen water machine, you'd also only pay about 50 cents per gallon.

Compare that to the cost of even the cheapest bottled water. For instance, Walmart's Great Value water is only $1.50/gallon. But after ten years of that, you'll have spent $15,000.

If you do your math on this, you will see how costly even the cheapest bottled water is.

What Are the Health Costs and Benefits of Your Water?

In addition to the monetary cost of your water, consider health and environmental costs.

Plastic bottles have both environmental costs and health costs that should be considered. Bottles and other plastics have been ruining our environment for years, and we keep adding to this problem. You can't burn them because that would be too toxic. They don't naturally break down very quickly. So, they fill the landfills, trashing up our planet excessively. The use rate of bottles and other plastics has only increased even after people became aware of the environmental hazards. We can only recycle a small fraction of the plastics we throw away. It's a real problem for our landfills and the environment.

Plastic water storage is also unhealthy for our bodies. Nano-plastics can enter the water and our bodies, causing multiple health problems. Nano-plastics are far more dangerous to the body than most people are aware. They cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and other health conditions that underlie diseases.

PFAS (Forever Chemicals) are also in most bottled water brands. Read more about the dangers of PFAS, what they are, and how to filter "forever chemicals" out of your water.  

The pH of bottled water is another significant concern. The industry often uses ozone, a highly acidic substance, to remove pathogens. As a result, the pH of ozone-treated bottled water is more acidic than its source water counterpart, highlighting the importance of maintaining a balanced pH in our drinking water. 

Low-energy bottled water, often referred to as 'dead water' by live blood test analysts, is water that lacks the vital energy and nutrients found in natural, fresh water. Drinking it tends to make the blood sticky and sluggish, which can negatively impact overall health and vitality.

By not switching to ionized or filtered hydrogen water, you're missing out on various health benefits that could significantly improve your well-being.

The alkalinity of ionized water helps the body to detox. This is because most toxins are acidic. It also allows the body to eliminate fat for the same reason (fats are acidic).

The antioxidants in ionized water or filtered hydrogen water are beneficial in helping the body fight free radicals.

The body needs balance, and bottled water falls short of giving the body what it needs to achieve it.
