Accuracy in product claims: I'd like to know how the water is kept from turning rancid or into alcohol?

A 4.8 pH is actually not too bad. 7 is exactly neutral, but since pH is based on a logarithmic scale 4.8 isn't that far off. Wikipedia has a nice entry on pH and some comparison points: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH 4.8 is more acidic than coffee, but less than beer, apple/orange juice, and cola.

I don't know--been using it for quite a while now. I will look on my container when I get home. Meanwhile, you might can Google it and get an answer.

I have news for you sweet cheeks nothing you do will guarantee you health. What abut water (that includes bottled) the air, plastic (heating in plastic especially leaks chemicals into what ever is put into it) the list goes on. I disagree with you but that is ok, you have a right to your opinion the same as I do.

The instructions do not state what type of water. I use distilled so it doesn't get a build-up on the unit.

Thanks for your response. I'm thinking it's more than distilled water. If the product is at all a 'gel', it will take more than water to make it so.

It is NOT premixed. You will need to add the same volume of distiller water.

Read just this week that the CDC states that no water suspected of chemical contamination should be considered safe for drinking regardless of purification means. I realize this may not help in certain locations, but I thougt I would throw it out there.

I don't know the answer to that, but I can tell you this is a terrible product which should be avoided at all costs. I would not be surprised since the sellers give people free bottles to make positive reviews, so their ethics are questionable.

I've had my machine for two years, so it's been a while since I read the booklet, but I thought this was covered there. From personal experience and Food Safety Certification class, I know *I* wouldn't drink from a pot of water that had been sitting around for hours or days unless it had been boiled and thus sterilized first.

Sorry very hard typing on my phone. But hopefully you understand. I love my salt water setup. I don't mess with any real chemicals.

I just use regular water but I assume distilled water will reduce the amount of chemical build-up in the long run.

Pretty much what everyone else said. I use mine to keep warm water (ie: warm not hot) for drinking. I'd say it loses between 25% - 50% of the heat over a period of 24 hours (depending on how often it's opened and how much is consumed). Still a good product.

Hi, ingredients water, alcohol (43%), artificial flavors, citric acid, preservatives and misc additives. My label was scratched but this is what I could read. Hope this helps. Randi

Good question, but you'll probably have to contact the manufacturer to find out. I can't imagine they would go to all the other trouble to keep it pure (like BPA free lining) and then add contaminated tap water. But assumptions are what get us into trouble.

if you didn't use distiller water, it would be dirty(stains) quickly. You have to clean it often.

To prevent any mineral build-up, I use distilled water. Distilled water is cheap..

I added to distiller. Mom added to fresh well water. In both cases it turned the water an orangey brown color. In both cases the water tasted awful. Neither of us had any results from this product. I do NOT recommend this product. We both have had and continue to have good results from Cell Food by Lumina Health.
