BPA Free Alkaline Water Pitcher with Flower of Life Design

The Pitcher of Life Alkaline Water Pitchers  incorporate mixed media that releases hydrogen into the water using a combination of minerals that react with the water to produce molecular hydrogen (H2). Here’s how this happens:

1. Mineral Composition: These Pitchers  contain a mix of minerals like magnesium, calcium, and some proprietary additional elements and ceramics that are capable of reacting with water. Magnesium is particularly crucial as it reacts directly with water.
2. Reaction Mechanism: When water interacts with these minerals, a chemical reaction occurs. For magnesium, the typical reaction is:  \[ \text{Mg} + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Mg(OH)}_2 + \text{H}_2 \] In this reaction, magnesium reacts with water (H2O) to form magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) and hydrogen gas (H2). This reaction is slow and occurs over time as water is in contact with the mineral media.
3. Hydrogen Generation: The hydrogen gas produced is molecular hydrogen, which is soluble in water to a certain extent. As the reaction occurs within the Pitcher of Life, hydrogen dissolves into the water, making it "hydrogen-rich."
4. Alkalinity Increase: Alongside hydrogen production, the water's pH is increased due to the formation of magnesium hydroxide, a weak base, which contributes to the alkalinity of the water.
5. Additional Media: the Pitcher of Life also includes additional layers or types of media to enhance ionization, add trace minerals, improve taste, and further increase the pH and antioxidant properties of the water.

The effectiveness of the Pitcher of Life in producing significant amounts of hydrogen and altering the water's properties is based on the design, the type and amount of minerals used, and the contact time between the water and the media.

The filter is certified to NSF/ANSI 42 (chlorine taste and odor, particulates) and NSF/ANSI 61 (material safety). We do not make lead, PFAS or fluoride reduction claims for this pitcher. A free water report shows what is in your local water, and you can choose a filter that is certified for the contaminants you care about.

The pitcher holds 3.8 L. The alkaline capacity is 2.5 L

Alkaline water filters typically use a combination of activated carbon and ion exchange resin to filter tap water and raise the pH level to make it more alkaline. The specific process by which alkaline water filters work can vary depending on the make and model of the filter, but generally follows these steps:

• Filtration: The first stage of the process involves passing tap water through a filter, which is typically made up of activated carbon. This removes impurities and contaminants from the water, such as chlorine, sediment, and heavy metals.  A great alkaline water pitcher will have at least a six (6) layer filtration, alkalization filter.  Some high quality counter top units will have multiple filters. 
  
• Ion exchange: After the water has been filtered, it passes through a second stage in which it comes into contact with ion exchange resin. This resin is typically made up of negatively charged ions, such as calcium and magnesium, which attract and bind to positively charged ions in the water, such as hydrogen ions. This process can help to raise the pH level of the water and make it more alkaline.  When you bind extra hydrogen atoms to water, you make H3O, which is an antioxidant – which neutralizes free radicals and slows down aging
• Mineralization: Some alkaline water filters may also include a third stage in which the water is infused with additional minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, to further increase the alkalinity of the water and add beneficial minerals.

Overall, alkaline water filters work by removing impurities and contaminants from tap water and increasing the pH level to make it more alkaline. The specific process used by each filter can vary, and it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance to ensure optimal filtration performance.

The filter typically raises pH to about 8.5 to 9.5. The exact result depends on your tap water, how much you pour through, and how fresh the filter is. A pH test kit shows your own number.

We do not make medical claims. Many people simply prefer how alkaline water tastes. If you have a health condition or take medication, ask your doctor about what you drink.

It is an ancient geometric pattern we use as a design on this pitcher. It is not a filter feature, and we make no scientific claim about it.

A 3-pack is $49.97, which is $16.66 per filter. One filter lasts about 4 months for 1 person, 2 months for 2 people and 1 month for 4 people, so a 3-pack covers 12, 6 or 3 months. A single filter is $21.97, so the 3-pack saves $15.94. Auto-ship sends your filters on schedule.

Yes, lightweight, spill-resistant, and easy to handle.

Yes, once. A new filter needs a rinse and a soak so the media is primed. 

It measures 10.5 x 6 x 4.5 in. Check the minimum shelf height in your fridge, and measure the door shelf if you plan to store it there.
