Acid water correction

Because of all the pine forest plantations near me, the water from the
private supply i use is acid, ph 5.3

The result is that metals leach from the rock into the water, namely
aluminium...195ug/l (legal limit 200) which all the locals are merrily
glugging away.  

Standard jug water filters cut down dramatically on all the metals, or
they claim to, (80% for aluminium, more for other metals)

But i'm still left with acid water, which i don't like. I'm in rented
accommodation so don't want to have to install a filter at the property.

Are there any jug filters available? Or does anyone have any ideas?  
Charles said homeopaths filter their water through lime, which is what
is required here, i think.

No, I did not say that.

I said, that electrical anti-lime apparatus did cristallize the lime in the
water, but at the same time dstroys the negative information in the water
from carbendazim, pvc, elektrosmog and radioactivity.

Your case is something differenjt.

In your case, I would advise a counter top reversed osmosis waterfilter.
That is not a filterunit, which will be inswtalled under the sink, but on
top of it, and it remains movable, so, if you want to move, you take it with
you into another home.

Another tip.
Normally, on has to replace the filters inside such a resversed osmosis
filtering unit every two years.
(In your case, I would think every year).
However, if you place such an electrical anti-lime apparatus, your R.O.
filters will go at least 5 years without replacement.

Jug filters are rubbish.
They do not filter the water; theyn only make it taste better.
F.i. out tapwater overhere may have 450 ppm (generally).
With a Brico filter, it goes down to 320 ppm.
R.O. water may have only 20-30 ppm in dilluted components.

I hope this helps.

Hi,
   
I used a water additive to raise the pH of my water--from a company called pHion (I too live in an acid area, but also realized I had metabolic acidosis and had tests run.) I used this in conjunction with a Brita pitcher filter, which was the best on the market when I did the online research for this 5? years ago. Worked well for me. They sell them in Walmarts and other housewares stores. Ask if you need more info.

I am not saying the Brita filter is as good as this type filter, either, Asurisuk. Certainly Charles is correct. I did not have the money to buy thetype filter he has suggested and so chose the best pitcher filter I could find.

long delay i know...but thanks to evie and charles for advice.  
Evie, the ph-ion link was most interesting, but at $30 per 20 gallon
treatment (plus postage to UK) i think it might work out cheaper to
get a filter installed (or even to buy mineral water!).

I don't think even an RO filter will necessarily fix the pH problem (I've
read
it usually has a pH of 6).
I would just add some baking soda (although you'll get a little more
sodium). Maybe you can add calcium carbonate instead?

Sorry, Asurisuk,
   
I think we got our wires crossed. (I may have not understood what you were asking for in your original post.) The pH-ion site that I mentioned wasfor ALKALINE (high pH) water additive, which was also supposed to have a negative ion charge. It is different than mineral or filtered water. You can buy a machine which makes this, but it is very pricey. I think I figured it out once, and I could use the additive for 3 years before I'd have spent the comparable price of the machine. Since I was using the additive fora particular purpose (to lower metabolic serotonin and acidity), I knew I would not need to use the water for more than a couple years, so I chose the additive. There are various supplements which would have also accomplished what I was trying to do, but the water was also comparative price to those. I don't know what product you were looking at there, but when I boughtit (for 2 years prior to mid 2006), the additive cost $15/30 day supply. But again, it
is a specialized water, and not like either filtered or mineral water.
   
Sorry for the mix up,
Diane

Well, maybe I didn't misunderstand, Asurisuk,
   
The water additive from pH-ion can raise the alkalinity to at least 7 or 8. But, yes, if you are just looking for water to drink that is normal pH,certainly mineral water would be more cost effective or the filter that Charles mentioned. You would need it for an extended period of time, unlike me.
