Invigorated Water pH ON-The-GO Portable Alkaline Water Filter Pouch, High pH Water Alkalizer for Bottles, Jugs, Pitchers - Filters 98 Liters / 26 Gallons (3-Pack)

I absolutely love the way the water tastes and smells. I've studied water in re to nutrition, as well as diet in relation to healing. So, I'm not a certified expert but I have studied both sides of things extensively, which is more than I can say for most experts. I would first like to address the many reviews stating they couldn't get the pH over 8.5 or that they used a test strip. There is absolutely no reason to get water above a 8.0 rating; anything over that means it will taste bitter and could cause skin problems. While avoiding acidic water is important for health, the fastest way to alkalize your body is actually by eating lots of raw whole fruits and vegetables and avoiding animal products. You can also raise your pH by squeezing lemon into your water (which raises your pH but not the water’s pH). But that aside, water really should not be above 8.0; 7 is ideal. Secondly, test strips are not meant to measure the pH of water. Even those that say they can be used for water are only meant to be a guide and does not make the user an instant expert. If you want to test the pH of water with a strip, drink only water from one source for 24 hours (no eating or drinking except the water) and measure your urine on the strip every few hours. If it progressively shows more alkaline in the final 12 hours, you've got your answer. Any time you’re measuring pH, if your urine consistently 8 or above you may have a serious health condition, such as acidosis, and should see a medical professional; high pH in the urine could be a sign that your body is depleting your internal sources, such as bone, to balance the pH, which your body constantly strives to be between 6.5 & 7. In the a.m. it will be the most acidic and not a true indication of your body's health or the health of the water. So, don't test the first morning urine unless you want to raise your stress levels. Simple research will confirm what I've said here. So, back to my personal review of the product: My first choice is distilled because it removes every contaminate -- it's the re-creation of natural purification (before the atmosphere was toxic in some parts of the world). However, I currently travel a lot and it's inconvenient to keep buying gallons, or refill jugs at a machine (Reverse Osmosis was 2nd choice). So, having a lot of bug out gear, I began to wonder if just using my Sawyer water straw and filling gallons in my hotel room from tap would be acceptable. However, that is more for survival sources to remove bacteria and microbes, and doesn't diminish fluoride or do anything to raise the pH. So, I began to research and found pH On The Go. After researching how the filtration takes place I was interested to try it. Since I'm starting with tap water & there's no need to worry about killing microbes, I felt this would be the next best thing to Distilled and maybe even a step above in some aspects because of raising the pH and bringing the water closer to a structured or original form. I received these almost a week ago and haven't purchased a bottle of water since. I absolutely love the way the water tastes and smells and I can feel the pH level in my mouth, although I haven't actually used a gauge (but for me it's not necessary). I'm thrilled at how convenient and successful these little pouches are. It doesn't just taste better, it feels really good in my mouth. I process the water in one container, pour it into a 2nd 27 oz container and then refill the one with the pouch. I don't time it since it works quickly -- for me, about 15 minutes gets most the chlorine smell out, 20 min is golden, depending on how chlorinated your water source is. But I did try this is a 2 gallon decanter and with the little pouch it took more than 8 hours to get the smell out. I can only assume it has to do with the lack of circulation in that large amount of water. The little pouches are definitely best for smaller containers If I'm hiking, I just take the one container with the pouch and refill it as necessary (from drinking fountains or so forth). I haven't removed it from the container so far, just keep it in there with at least a little water to cover the pouch. I literally want to buy a set for everyone I know. For one thing, most people buy "purified" water and that is just tap water filtered through a charcoal filter to get the smell out, usually. You may as well drink tap and plug your nose. “Spring” water is not much better and the FDA only requires a small portion of the water to actually come from a spring, by that definition. I think this is an amazing product. I'm guessing that with regular use, I'll be able to tell when it's time to get a new pouch. But for now I'm keeping a rough estimate of how many gallons I'm using. I hope this information has been helpful to someone. Cheers.

Removes ‘chlorine taste’. Easy to use

This is a great mobile water purifier. Clear water and good taste,

I put these compact bags in my water bottle to help with the taste and minerals. Been working great for the month. And the best part the savings from buying bottled water.

Great product when I filter it correctly

I purchased them in April, and am still using the same pouches in August. I test my water with a digital pH meter before pouring into my gallon jug for storage or on-the-go bottle. I have also used a digital TDS meter to verify that the water was actually containing alkalizing deposits. I start with Deer Park spring water; it usually tests around 8.3. First of all, I let the water sit as long as it needs to in order to alkalize, regardless of the misleading instructions. When the pouches are new, then they work most quickly. Over time, they take longer, but definitely work. I use all three pouches in three different bottles to maximize my alkaline water reserve. The smaller the bottle, the faster the water will alkalize. I use a 16 oz., a 24 oz., and a 32 oz. bottle. At this point, I drink alkalized water exclusively if it comes from home because of these pouches making it cost effective. I consume around 100 ounces per day because of my body size and activity. A good guess is (your body weight / 2 = ounces per day). Every morning, I test each bottle after letting each sit overnight. I transfer the water from the bottles with pouches, pour it into my jug and refill the bottles with the pouches so that they can take the time that they need to alkalize. The water averages about 9.5, sometimes more or less. I leave it in there if it's less than 9.0, that's my personal choice. Test it every time with a digital meter and don't rush them. These will save you money if you truly are interested in drinking alkaline water and reducing the cost. I recommend pH On-The-Go Alkaline Water Pouches. Take the time and you won't regret purchasing them. These work, period.

I work in a historical building in DC with less than stellar plumbing and the hard-lined water cooler I have to fill my bottle from is an improvement over the tap but still has that slightly tangy dingy metallic aftertaste. Within a minute or so of putting this little filter bag into a 40oz bottle, the metallic taste is totally gone. Not sure how to explain that doesn't sound hinky but I'm very pleased with the product and will purchase again when this one wears out. So far have used the same filter bag in about ten refills of the 40oz bottle and it still seems to be very effective at neutralizing the unpleasant qualities of the water at work. Had a slight powdery residue before first use but I do not rinse it prior to use and noticed no grit or anything in the water. Update: After using this product for the past several months, I have a couple things to say: This is the third time I am buying this product - I find it continually and impressively effective at improveing the taste ( and thus am assuming the quality) of the water I drink at work and home. With regularly use (for me, thats about 2 fills of a 40 ounce bottle, 4-5 days per week) the filter is very effective for about two to three weeks and gradually you will notice the water taste improvement lessen over the third and fourth week. Therefore I use about 1 filter per month, 2 if my husband uses one as well. And lastly, I haven't had to remove or dry the filter between uses. I occasionally set it aside to wash the hydroflask bottle but then put it right back in with water and have noticed no scent or tatse to suggest that it might spoil, mildew or mold. Being mineral based this makes sense but just an additional observation.

The taste is better than my normal tap water. But because we have a pool, we have a full water testing kit that tests for ph and alkalinity. Alkalinity was 50ppm and PH was about 7. Both numbers turned out to be exactly the same from testing the water left in with the pouch for over an hour and water directly out of the tap. The results of the tests indicate absolutely no change in alkalinity or ph. If there is a change, it wasn't noticeable in the droplet tests. It does taste different, (cleaner???). But that isnt an objective measurement of it's benefits. Looking forward to hearing from the company to determine why my results are different than their claims.

It purifies the water so it’s a clean fresh taste ! Love this product. Have been ordering for 3 years now .

Great product. Fast reliable delivery. No complaints.

Our Dr recommended we start drinking alkaline water. This works greay

I liked that they are portable and easy to use. The water quality tastes great. It removes chlorine. I didn't find that I could taste or smell any chlorine at all. I think for the size of the filter it lasts a long time and there are 3 in the pack. I would buy it again.

Honestly, I've been very surprised at how well these do. Normally, when I do long water fast,s I am quite lethargic, but since adding this to my RO water, I've noticed that during a fast, I have tons of energy so these are for sure remineralizing the water with most electrolytes. I also really enjoy the taste it give,s and certainly gives me more energy day to day as well.
