Can RO or Distilled water be run through the ALKALIZER?
No. The ALKALIZER uses the alkaline minerals in the water to adjust the pH. RO and distilled water have little to no minerals left. Few know that both Reverse Osmosis and Distillation acidify drinking water. Even less know what the effects of drinking acidic distilled or RO water is when drank for years. Be versed: Water with a neutral 7.0 pH will go down to around 5.5 pH after RO. That is highly acidic water. If you have a sophisticated RO system hooked up you will need to bypass it on the faucet you hook the ALKALIZER to.
