Reverse osmosis and alkaline water are not interchangeable. Many mistakenly believe that alkalinity is related to ionizer, which is not necessarily the case.

RO is a filtration technology that requires electricity to purify water. A motor builds hydraulic pressure.

Alkaline Water Filtration does not require Electricity. However they are costlier than traditional RO purifiers.

[{"selector":"#anim-c82b8e0d-9f80-4dc9-970e-81b034e81eab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4298bf8d-885f-464f-8d95-26bab986a8ff","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 73.97661%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e93e6376-5eb1-4862-a563-eca9fbdd1807","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6011a3c5-41e7-46bc-8e72-11836ebeab47","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 158.37480%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

RO water is basically a demineralised water which is not recommended for prolonged use. Alkaline Filters add necessary minerals,

[{"selector":"#anim-5f23ac1a-4224-424b-ada0-b36773e6628e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-84b75a5e-8238-4d9d-9b84-33d5b8e614bb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 73.97661%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0ff4fc3b-22d9-4459-bad5-92bfb4b0d8d3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7eec5f22-73d7-495a-b33b-8a9be0e40c62","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 158.37480%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Another drawback of RO purifiers over Alkaline purifiers is RO wastes a lot of water and have poor input output factor.

[{"selector":"#anim-0bc406af-9f38-4a5e-a72a-c9ded1522792","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-56bba2db-a2dd-4a43-8b06-a7b44eb782be","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 73.97661%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a18d61a-eb25-4561-be6b-95c23c910992","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f8b8ec02-fd64-40a5-a3c8-a84ac81faa52","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 158.37480%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Alkaline filters basically add minerals into the purified water and hence do not waster a lot of water like RO does.

[{"selector":"#anim-af9f8a42-42bc-484f-a95f-959001b14a14","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5070d455-b0fd-4bd9-82c1-7934448b605e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 73.97661%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8b43b324-506a-4fbe-a906-ed545f1ebfd9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f0922c8a-7eac-4473-8fab-1610aff6fef8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 158.37480%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

RO produces slightly acidic water which isn't recommended based on body chemistry. However there no direct harm.

[{"selector":"#anim-addfae67-ff99-4b08-ba1a-d3ab44837ace","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-11033816-7f3f-4642-b433-6125d3cfef0c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 73.97661%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da1b4ab6-965c-4e48-9153-bd64ad9b7678","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f869fb6f-d2cb-4666-b263-56ebd9439066","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 158.37480%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

According to EPA, perfect water PH range falls anywhere in the range of 6.5 to 8.5.

[{"selector":"#anim-3448eadd-43e7-4fcd-b695-658a0c93fe47","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-46023a4f-7031-4b28-aaa1-04a6832fc6f7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 73.97661%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4d263c5-991a-4a13-b8bb-2251571653bc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b820ab16-729e-4d1e-826f-685093f8a31f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 196.50206%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Source: Google, Image Source: Unsplash
