Larry L. Taylor asked:


Is there a big advantage to mineral revitalization water purification systems? Are they worth the money? We have the answers.

Minerals are nothing new. They are naturally occurring substances. They are in the ground, the very earth, itself, so they are also present in anything that grows from or passes through the soil. They are also found in anything that eats plant foods and anything that lives in the water.

When it comes to human health, there are recommended daily allowances for all of the essential trace minerals. Some companies suggest that the mineral water benefits are similar to what you would get from taking a vitamin supplement; the prevention of nutritional deficiencies.

It is true that studies have shown that drinking distilled, which is de-mineralized, water on a regular basis leads to digestive problems and eventually can cause mineral deficiencies, if no other source of the nutrients are available. That is why companies have introduced mineral revitalization water purification systems for home use. That is also why so many people believe that there are a large number of mineral water benefits.

The problem; the studies were conducted to advise consumers and health care professionals about what is the healthiest liquid to consume. Researchers did not compare mineral water benefits to those of regular tap water or water from any other source. They only compared people who drank distilled, as opposed to naturally occurring.

The introduction of the mineral revitalization water purification systems was supposed to counter the disadvantages of reverse osmosis, distillation and other purification methods that remove naturally occurring minerals. It is basically, a waste of money, so is buying bottled mineral water.

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that there are mineral water benefits that are not found in the purified, mineral balanced option. The better filtration systems for home use provide the latter.

There are some anecdotal studies that seem to suggest that there are some mineral water benefits. In areas where it is naturally occurring, it is said that people live longer and are healthier. While it is true that de-mineralized water is unnatural and probably not good for you. There is no indication that taking out what is naturally present and then “revitalizing” the H2O by adding them back is a good option.

That’s why we say that mineral revitalization water purification systems are a waste of money. They simply take out what was already there and then add it back in. The balance may be different, but you can do the same thing with the newer systems that use ion exchange and for a small percentage of the cost.

We have to admit that there is a school of thought that says mineral water benefits are numerous. So, the subject is debatable. But, mineral revitalization water purification systems only have an advantage over the old reverse osmosis units. We think that it would be difficult for anyone to debate that fact.

Hard Water Expert asked:


It can be very cost effective to soften hard water, as it does not readily form lather with soap. This causes the soap to be wasted when trying to form lather, and as a result a scum can form. Hard water may be easily treated to reduce the effects of scaling and to make it more usable for laundry and bathing.

The Process

A water softener works on the idea of cation or ion exchange in which ions of the hardness minerals are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions, consequently reducing the concentration of hardness minerals to tolerable levels.

One of the most economical ways to soften household water is with an ion exchange water softener. This unit uses table salt (sodium chloride) to recharge beads made up of the ion exchange resin that exchange hardness mineral ions for sodium ions. As the hard water passes in between and around the beads, the hardness mineral ions are absorbed, displacing the sodium ions. This process is called ion exchange.

When the bead or sodium zeolite has a low concentration of sodium ions left, it is no longer effective, and therefore is unable to soften water. However, if the resin is recharged by flushing (often back-flushing) with saltwater it can be re-used. The high excess concentration of sodium ions alter the equilibrium between the ions in solution and the ions held on the surface of the resin, resulting in replacement of the hardness mineral ions on the resin with sodium ions. After this the resulting saltwater and mineral ion solution must then rinsed away, and the resin is ready to start the process all over again. This cycle can be repeated over and over to re-charge the device.

In industry, the same softening process methods are used, but on a much larger scale. These methods create an large amount of salty water that is costly dispose of. Temporary hardness, caused by hydrogen carbonate (or bicarbonate) ions, can be removed by boiling. For example, calcium hydrogen carbonate, often present in temporary hard water, is boiled in a kettle to remove the hardness. In the process, a scale forms on the inside of the kettle in a process known as “furring of kettles”. This scale is composed of calcium carbonate.

Hardness can also be reduced with a lime-soda ash treatment. In 1841, a process was developed by Thomas Clark that involves the addition of slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) to a hard water supply which converts the hydrogen carbonate hardness to carbonate, which precipitates and can be removed by filtration:

The addition of sodium carbonate also softens hard water containing calcium sulphate, as the calcium ions form calcium carbonate which precipitates out and sodium sulphate is formed which is soluble. The calcium carbonate formed sinks to the bottom, and the sodium sulphate has no effect on the hardness of water.

As you can see there are some relatively simple ways to eradicate hard water from your water supply, as well as the hard water stains that it causes. The processes have been around for a long time in some cases, and are available to use to stop the negative effects that having hard water in your home can bring.

David Karlson asked:


 

What exactly is mineral water and is it different from regular bottled water? It is also sold at a premium over regular water. There are considered a number of mineral water benefits compared to regular bottled water.

In order to be considered as this type of water it should have at least two hundred and fifty parts per million of dissolved minerals in the water. There can be no minerals added to the water either.

Now, what exactly are mineral water benefits? Well, here is a list of several benefits to drinking this type of water:



It is known to fight bacteria and fungus

It helps to de-toxify the body

Helps to replenish the body’s water supply that is naturally lost

Helps to balance the bodies electrolytes

Thought by some people to reduce pain, aching and swelling of joints and muscles



 

There are enough minerals in mineral water to change its taste. The taste is generally thought of as alkaline or bitter, however mineral water benefits are there regardless of the actual taste. Are there any advantages to mineral revitalization water purification systems?

We all need vitamins and minerals, but is it necessary to get them from water? Experts believe that vitamin supplements are just as good at providing us with the proper vitamin intake.

Mineral revitalization water purification systems have been introduced to the consumer due to the demand for healthier home drinking water. Usually, mineral water is bottled at the source of the natural spring. Some anecdotal studies indicate that people who live near a naturally occurring spring live longer and healthier lives.

The idea of adding mineral revitalization water purification systems is meant to counter the disadvantages of such systems as reverse osmosis and distillation methods, which remove the naturally occurring minerals.

In conclusion, mineral water benefits far outweigh the negative aspects of reverse osmosis and distillation methods. Keep this in mind when searching for a drinking water system for your home.

Derek Reeve asked:


It seems like every time you turn your head someone asks the question: Is mineral water healthy? All you have to do is flip through any store circular and see the abundance of water products. With such a huge supply available surely this mineral water must be a good product?

 What do we mean by the term mineral water? Many people think that this water is derived only from an underground source. But you should know that mineral water can be manufactured or it can come from nature. It contains minerals or other liquefied substances to change its taste or to give it therapeutic benefits.

 These minerals come in the form of carbonates, magnesium, chlorides, phosphates, iron, potassium and sodium. These minerals endow the water with its delicious taste. This is probably what accounts for the wide-spread advertising of natural mineral water h20. You see phrases such as “wholesomely delicious” or “water straight from nature” in many of the ads or on the bottles.

 To learn about mineral water it is important to realize that the human body requires certain minerals to facilitate normal bodily functions. For instance, sodium helps regulate the blood balance in your body, while calcium provides you with healthy, strong bones. And iron gives you energy and keeps your body from becoming anemic. And finally potassium works with sodium to maintain the body’s water balance and is essential for good nutrition.

 The body relies on certain minerals, but what if you do not get the chemical elements you need in water or in food? A lack of certain minerals can lead to a wide array of health risks including heart problems. According to the American Heart Association, one in three women and one in three men has some form of cardiovascular disease. Therefore obtaining the right minerals is important to avoid becoming one of these statistics

 It’s imperative that we ensure our daily supply of minerals is accessible, but we have to take into account the poor quality of the water that is available to us. Due to growing concerns about chemicals, chlorine, and lead contamination, more and more families are choosing in-home water purification systems to ensure that their water intake is pure and healthy. To get your mineral water healthy, you have to find a system that does not strip water of its important benefits.

 A quick overview of the systems that filter water. One is called reverse osmosis and another is distillation. These have been promoted as ways to remove unwanted chemicals and other substances, however the resulting product is demineralized water. This is touted as natural mineral water h20, but it’s really water that has had the essential minerals removed, which in the long term could lead to health problems.

 There are a number of dissolved solids that can make your mineral water healthy. Such items are beneficial to keeping your body in good health. Now that you know this, it’s a good idea to avoid systems that take out the essential minerals from your water. However, an effective water filtration system can help keep what you need and get rid of the undesirable chemicals
