What type of water can I use to produce ionised water?
Water that has passed through a Liberty Granular Activated Carbon filter, such as the L1, L2 or L3 is best, followed by straight tap water. Distilled water or water filtered by reverse osmosis does not have any minerals, therefore it cannot be ionised. Water ionisers can be used with most well water. The two most common problems found in well water are hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg, sulfur smell) and high iron or calcium content. Contact us to remedy both of these conditions with the proper pre-filter. The mineral content of your source water directly affects the strength of ionised water you can produce. The more minerals, the stronger the ionisation: higher alkalinity and higher antioxidant potential. Very high calcium levels in the water can cause scale build up.
