       There is no clear evidence that alkaline filtered water is healthier than regular tap water, but it definitely tastes better. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up the best alkaline water machines and filters that are highly rated by Amazon’s most enthusiastic reviewers. (If you’re looking for other ways to drink clean water, we’ve also written about the best pitcher filters and Japanese charcoal sticks.)
       More than 4,100 reviewers have given this alkaline water pitcher five stars, and many of them were pleasantly surprised by how much it improved the taste of their water. “I seriously think all these water purifiers are a waste of money and just more false advertising to make our water better,” said one skeptical commenter. “Well, turns out I was wrong. The lid was made of cheap plastic, but it was easy to fill. After I poured the water into the glass, I could clearly see my son’s face through the glass. No joke, this is AMAZING. “The water tastes like… water, without the taste.”
       However, some reviewers noted issues with the lid that were resolved with proper installation. “It’s easy to fill, and as long as you follow the instructions and attach the lid to the inner funnel where the filter is, rather than to the pitcher itself, there won’t be any leakage.” breaker, reviewers say they get more bang for their buck with this pitcher than with a more expensive filtration system. “I was going to buy an expensive alkalizing machine, but I’m glad I didn’t,” one wrote. “This pitcher alkalinizes my tap water in minutes, it’s inexpensive and easy to use.”
       These alkaline water sticks allow reviewers to easily purify water without having to buy a new plastic water pitcher. “I can’t believe they are so cheap and actually work so well. I use a 1.5 gallon container, shake it for 60-90 seconds, then put it in the freezer and it works great,” said one reviewer. “I filtered a total of about 15 gallons of water with this filter and it still had a pH above 8 without any booster.” Another five-star reviewer did a blind taste test with family members and wrote that these sticks filter water. “wins easily every time.” “I’ll buy more so I can always have tasty water.”
       Reviewers give this pouch alkaline water filter top marks because it’s their best source of filtered water. One of them used it during a two-week trip to London. “Every day I fill a bottle with water from the sink or kitchen and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes, which significantly improves the taste of the water,” they say, “as well as the pH level. I carry it with me. at the airport (X no problem with it either,” said another. “I love that it’s small so I can easily carry it in my purse, it’s durable (16 gallons per pack) and comes with all the filters. Has a resealable one bag that I can use for transportation.” Dozens of people have also reported an improvement in the taste of their water. “It’s too early to tell if this will have any health benefits, but the taste of the water is enough to make me a regular customer.” reported one reviewer: “Case in point: I left the bottle at the gas station and some of the flavoring came out along with the water. I waited a few minutes and all of the soda flavor disappeared. Those who used the filter longer also noticed that there were health benefits.” , for example, someone who writes: “My heartburn has gone away since I started using the Vitality bottle with pH pack.”
       Reviewers love this stainless steel water bottle, which comes with the aforementioned water filter bag allowing you to filter water anywhere. One reviewer tried several water bottles that were either too big or poorly insulated before finding this one. “I really like this,” they wrote. “I take it with me everywhere: to work, on a trip or on errands. It doesn’t sweat, has a lot of capacity, and fits perfectly in my car’s cup holder and backpack. I can easily refill water from any water dispenser and the small filter always makes the water taste great.” Another reviewer bought this water bottle because their “tap water tasted terrible” and they were trying to “reduce the amount of plastic water bottles in local landfills.” Just ten days later they wrote: “I drank more water and enjoyed the taste the filter produced.” In fact, they were now drinking so much water that they were considering buying “a second water bottle. and always have cold water on hand!” A third reviewer praised the “nicely made” and “durable” water bottle because it “keeps my drinks warm very well” and the filter bags “work very well and are very consistent in taste.” and pH.”
       Made from bamboo and glass, this beautiful alkaline water pitcher is more attractive than standard plastic pitchers. “I love this jug!” One reviewer praised it for being eco-friendly, “beautiful,” and “the water tastes amazing.” Another reviewer was equally enthusiastic: “Great glass pitcher is very durable, the filtration system is great (long lasting) and the capacity is huge.” A third reviewer raved that the pitcher “fits perfectly on the door shelf.” My refrigerator,” he wrote. “I love the taste of the water and the beauty and ease of use of this glass pitcher. This is exactly what I hoped for: design, quality materials, high performance and excellent service. tasty clean water.”
       Unlike plastic pitchers, this attractive stainless steel pitcher is unbreakable (and more eco-friendly) and uses the same pH level as the On-the-Go bags we picked as the best alkaline water filter for travel. Therefore, reviewers are pleased with the reduction in plastic use. “Now I save a lot of money by not having to buy bottled alkaline water,” one commenter wrote. “Not to mention, I no longer send all those plastic bottles to recycling or disposal. Filtered water tastes great and goes from tap water to pure alkaline water in 3-5 minutes. It’s a win-win, win-win, win-win. -win the situation!” Dozens of reviewers found the pitcher very attractive. One person described the design as “sleek and doesn’t take up much counter space.”
       This filtered water pitcher is slightly smaller (and therefore less expensive) than our top-rated option, but reviewers were impressed with the taste of alkaline water it produces. In fact, one self-proclaimed “water snob” said undrinkable tap water tasted “phenomenal”: “The water is significantly more alkaline and takes a long time to filter,” they wrote. “There are no leaks and the internal water tank fits perfectly. I’m very happy. This alkaline water bottle is worth buying, period.” “I love Essentia water, but we all know $2 a bottle is a little pricey unless you’re Kim K,” one such commenter wrote. “I decided to order a jug and it was worth the money! I really like my water and it tastes just like Essentia.” Another added bonus: The kit includes two 60-day filters and “has a countdown timer, so you know.” when to replace them.”
       “I don’t usually write reviews; however, after using this water filtration system, I felt compelled to do so,” says one five-star reviewer about this 2.6 gallon alkaline water filter. “This is by far the best water I have ever drunk. My kids and I love drinking water so much that we stopped using bottled water because of it. And it’s better than any other bottled water.” Another reviewer found the faucet-mounted filter “not suitable” for their home and called the filter “very good” due to the “quite large” water tank. A third praised their water as “tasting great” and “loved the size/volume of the device compared to a regular pitcher.” Their plants even liked the purified water: “I noticed a dramatic change in the plants’ health after we gave them an initial dose of filtered water,” they wrote. “They are happy customers too!”
       More than 2,000 reviews have given this alkaline water system a five-star rating, many of them due to how easy it is to set up. “My son installed our system and despite having no experience with plumbing or setting up a water system, he found the installation to be simple and the paper instructions well laid out and easy to follow,” one wrote. “Everything needed was provided and there were no surprises.” Another person who had a professional install said, “It took him about two hours to install the entire system with all the parts provided.” They added: “He said the instructions were good.” written and easy to follow.” Reviewers also praised the filtered water for its superior taste. “The water at the private company I work for often has a bad odor and contains a lot of sediment,” one person noted, but continued: “After installing an APEC reverse osmosis system, the water is completely clean and tastes great! and I’m very glad I chose the alkaline setting. Now another tester’s level is “stable at around 12-16 ppm, which is ideal and gives the water a mild Fiji taste.”
       ”I’m a picky double-snake when it comes to the taste of my water,” one reviewer admitted. Although they were “concerned about the remineralization filter in this system,” they still gave it a chance. “I felt a difference between distilled water, pure RO water, and this water,” they wrote, “but it was so mild that I tried it. Now I like her: “Real.” The key feature here… is a filter element containing pebbles, which adds minerals to the water and naturally raises its pH, much like stream water has a higher pH.” Another person said, “My parents had RO water systems when I was growing up, but they only had 5 stages and didn’t have the beneficial minerals added to them like this one,” while another added, “I love what it does.” the water is mineralized, so I did not add pink salt or any drops of water to the water.”
       Besides tasting great, reviewers actually tested their new water to prove it’s more than just a placebo effect. “I tested 245 ppm before installation and 24 ppm after installation, so for the health of my family it is worth the money. Plus, buying a filter once a year is cheaper than buying bottled water all year round.” “As for contaminants in the water, I compared it to an alkalizing device that costs about $3,000 and found that this filtration system was much better and less expensive than an alkalizing device.”
       “Stop dealing with (smelly) tap water and buy yourself one,” one reviewer said of this alkaline water filter. “The water tastes exactly like bottled water,” another user wrote. “We are very pleased with her. We use it for washing food, cooking, making tea/coffee, drinking and providing clean water to our dogs, who by the way drink every drop of water in the bowl. He comes to get water from the tap and says that this is not so.” Reviewers also praise the water tank’s capacity and the water pressure it provides. “The tank fills and refills very quickly compared to our old system: if you open the tap and leave it on, it will take about five more minutes to empty the entire tank,” one wrote. They added: “When I used permeate water to fill a large pot with pasta water, I ran out of permeate water, but with this new system I haven’t run out of water yet. Looks like there’s a big reservoir.” Another user noted, “I have no problem with how quickly he pumps or cums and the water tastes great.”
       “I want a healthier source of drinking water without spending a lot of money. Plus, I need good water pressure,” one commenter wrote, adding, “This system does it all.” Other people also noted that they were particularly impressed with the system. movement of water. “The water flow is fast and seems to tick all the boxes,” one reviewer wrote, while another said, “After cleaning the system according to the instructions, the water tastes great and the water flow out of the faucet is great for a reverse osmosis system.” . Big”. Additionally, nearly 40% of reviewers also found installation to be easy, perhaps because “the system comes pre-assembled from the factory, with the exception of the carbon pre/post filters and sediment filters,” but perhaps that’s the most important thing. Best. , this filter can provide pure tasting water. “Great taste, clean and refreshing,” wrote one reviewer.
       Reviewers love that they can get all the benefits of alkaline water in such a compact machine. “I love my little car and the water tastes so good,” one wrote. “I called her Cute because she’s so petite.” Someone said it was a “great size for a studio or small living room” and someone who liked the different settings this machine offers. “Various levels of alkaline water and many easy-to-use skin type settings for pure water or regular purified water for guests who don’t drink alkaline water. Another satisfied customer said, “The water produced by this machine is of quality.” just amazing, from the drinking water to the lotion it produces, it’s amazing.” Not only has this machine been praised for its ability to drink water, lotion, and make morning coffee by many reviewers, but it’s even approved by cat users. . “My cats usually ignore the water I pour in their bowls,” one commenter wrote. “I poured water and they sat and drank for over a minute. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
       Nearly 75% of reviewers gave this water ionizer five stars, and more than a fifth noted how easy it was to install. “It was easy to set up and the customer service when needed was excellent,” one person said. Some others commented on the very high price, but said that all things considered, it’s actually a bargain as it performs just as well as more expensive models. Based on the experience of many reviewers, this ionizer is a one-time investment as many say it is built to last. “We’ve been using it for years and it still works great,” one wrote. “All you have to do is change the filter and descale your machine at least twice a year and your water will taste better,” said another, who has been using their device since 2011. Repair is required for long-term use. But they added that it was easy: “I only paid for shipping to Air Water Life and they completely repaired my unit to like new condition.”
