Ionized Alkalinized Water: Miracle water or hoax?

Just came back from Ace Hardware to buy some filters for my water filtration system. Pwede ko daw gawin alkaline water yung tubig ko by just replacing the filter in my RO. The filter just costs 1.8K (or was it 2.8K)

Exactly. And that so called alkaline water is just gonna pass through the stomach. Then guess what happens to its pH.
If a person really wants to raise body pH, he's much better off taking sodium bicarbonate... But then I really wouldn't recommend messing with body pH unless there's a need for it. It just messes up with enzymes, metabolism & excretion.

read somewhere that by just squeezing lemon to a glass of water.... magiging alkaline water na daw yun

Mayroon pa ngang ibinebentang parang canister, na lalagyan ng tubig. Aalugin mo muna ang tubig para ma-ionize at maging alkaline daw, bago mo inumin...

Aba e,- may 2 rin kaming kasamang bumili nito...

Actually, any container would be able to do that. All It just does is mix air with water. Nothing special.
Sqeezing lemon lowers pH.

How was the demo done? They placed your water in a glass and placed a device with two metal electrodes in it and suddenly the water starts to turn a difference color?

But pon checking the web, there was no scientific studies about alkaline water. And all there is are testimonials from those drinking alkaline water.

What do tsikoteers think?

The machines costs more than 200k!

Alkaline water is just a marketing gimmick.

Nothing happened to the water, their device just measured the voltage. They used a voltmeter measuring millivolts.

Then they put a few drops of something into the water that changed the color of the water samples, indicating the pH level. Blue for alkaline and yellow for acidic.

Bromothymol blue maybe? But then again, chemicals you'd test it for are practically neutral.
