Water with a pH higher than 7 is Alkaline water. Bottled alkaline water sold in grocery and health food stores typically has a pH range of 8.5 to 9. The problem with store-bought alkaline water is that it has no healthy antioxidant properties. To provide antioxidant benefits, alkaline ionized water has to be made fresh, because the ionization wears off in as little as 24 hours.
Home water ionizers like the LIFE 9100 make the most powerful antioxidant alkaline ionized water you can get. Water that made by a water ionizer like the LIFE 9100 will have a high negative Oxidation Reduction potential (-ORP) which is what gives ionized alkaline water its antioxidant properties. You can also buy alkaline filter systems like the Pitcher of LIFE that contain media which will alkalize your tap water, and provide a small amount of antioxidant benefit.
What this means is that both the LIFE 9100 and the Pitcher of LIFE make alkaline water, but the water made by the LIFE 9100 has far stronger antioxidant properties. The LIFE 9100 also makes three kinds of water, where the Pitcher of LIFE makes alkaline water only.
