Invigorated Water pH ON-The-GO Alkaline Water Filter Pouch- Portable Alkaline Water Filtration System for Your Bottle, Pitcher, Jug, Container - High pH Water - Long-Life 105 Gallon/400 Litre (1-Pack)Compact by Design (Amazon-developed Certification)

I absolutely love the way the water tastes and smells. I've studied water in re to nutrition, as well as diet in relation to healing. So, I'm not a certified expert but I have studied both sides of things extensively, which is more than I can say for most experts. I would first like to address the many reviews stating they couldn't get the pH over 8.5 or that they used a test strip. There is absolutely no reason to get water above a 8.0 rating; anything over that means it will taste bitter and could cause skin problems. While avoiding acidic water is important for health, the fastest way to alkalize your body is actually by eating lots of raw whole fruits and vegetables and avoiding animal products. You can also raise your pH by squeezing lemon into your water (which raises your pH but not the water’s pH). But that aside, water really should not be above 8.0; 7 is ideal. Secondly, test strips are not meant to measure the pH of water. Even those that say they can be used for water are only meant to be a guide and does not make the user an instant expert. If you want to test the pH of water with a strip, drink only water from one source for 24 hours (no eating or drinking except the water) and measure your urine on the strip every few hours. If it progressively shows more alkaline in the final 12 hours, you've got your answer. Any time you’re measuring pH, if your urine consistently 8 or above you may have a serious health condition, such as acidosis, and should see a medical professional; high pH in the urine could be a sign that your body is depleting your internal sources, such as bone, to balance the pH, which your body constantly strives to be between 6.5 & 7. In the a.m. it will be the most acidic and not a true indication of your body's health or the health of the water. So, don't test the first morning urine unless you want to raise your stress levels. Simple research will confirm what I've said here.So, back to my personal review of the product: My first choice is distilled because it removes every contaminate -- it's the re-creation of natural purification (before the atmosphere was toxic in some parts of the world). However, I currently travel a lot and it's inconvenient to keep buying gallons, or refill jugs at a machine (Reverse Osmosis was 2nd choice). So, having a lot of bug out gear, I began to wonder if just using my Sawyer water straw and filling gallons in my hotel room from tap would be acceptable. However, that is more for survival sources to remove bacteria and microbes, and doesn't diminish fluoride or do anything to raise the pH. So, I began to research and found pH On The Go. After researching how the filtration takes place I was interested to try it. Since I'm starting with tap water & there's no need to worry about killing microbes, I felt this would be the next best thing to Distilled and maybe even a step above in some aspects because of raising the pH and bringing the water closer to a structured or original form.I received these almost a week ago and haven't purchased a bottle of water since. I absolutely love the way the water tastes and smells and I can feel the pH level in my mouth, although I haven't actually used a gauge (but for me it's not necessary). I'm thrilled at how convenient and successful these little pouches are. It doesn't just taste better, it feels really good in my mouth. I process the water in one container, pour it into a 2nd 27 oz container and then refill the one with the pouch. I don't time it since it works quickly -- for me, about 15 minutes gets most the chlorine smell out, 20 min is golden, depending on how chlorinated your water source is. But I did try this is a 2 gallon decanter and with the little pouch it took more than 8 hours to get the smell out. I can only assume it has to do with the lack of circulation in that large amount of water. The little pouches are definitely best for smaller containers If I'm hiking, I just take the one container with the pouch and refill it as necessary (from drinking fountains or so forth). I haven't removed it from the container so far, just keep it in there with at least a little water to cover the pouch. I literally want to buy a set for everyone I know. For one thing, most people buy "purified" water and that is just tap water filtered through a charcoal filter to get the smell out, usually. You may as well drink tap and plug your nose. “Spring” water is not much better and the FDA only requires a small portion of the water to actually come from a spring, by that definition. I think this is an amazing product. I'm guessing that with regular use, I'll be able to tell when it's time to get a new pouch. But for now I'm keeping a rough estimate of how many gallons I'm using.I hope this information has been helpful to someone. Cheers.

Excellent item!

I do like that this water is alkaline, I bought a tester to see the numbers, it is working, but I like crisp water, and this water seems a little like it’s soft. It’s hard to explain, I am not an Evian fan, and I think it’s similar to Evian water. I hope it’s helping my pets, I can’t tell any difference in anything health wise. I’m on my second bag, Normally you would just put tap water in a water pitcher and toss a bag in, but I use the water that comes oh or my fridge that’s filtered already so it lasts longer. I think you’re supposed to change it out monthly but I have been testing the numbers and it’s still high after 4 months in my water pitcher that I refill at least 2 times a day between 4 people and a dog and cat. I feel like it’s getting a lot longer use. And because I use filtered water I don’t have to worry about it having chemicals, I just need to keep using until the alkaline numbers go down. I test my tap water then the pitcher and there is a difference, I just don’t feel any healthier or anything. But I’m sure I’m benefiting from it even though I’m not feeling it, so I’m going to continue using this. It’s waaaaaay cheaper than buying high alkaline water in bottles, and eco friendly, even if you do recycle plastic it still has to be remade into another plastic product- more carbon footprint. And most recycled plastics don’t really get recycled anymore anyway it ends up being in landfills so I don’t buy plastic anything if possible, like detergent, milk cartons, shampoos. We should all buy products that aren’t sold in plastic containers whenever possible.

Currently have a Reverse Osmosis system at home and in my office. The water was extremely acidic and had no nutrients from my understanding. Someone brought up using a mineral ball or filter. After doing some research I came across ph on the go. I loved the idea of being able to leave it in my hydro flask. I use to dump any left over water from previous day/s hoping to avoid any bacteria growth. With this pouch having anti bacteria features I decided to give it a try.When I first purchased I followed the instructions 2-3x. Then left the pouch in my flask as mentioned. I do have a PH meter at work and tested multiple times. At first I didn't see any difference on the results so I chalked this filter as ineffective but decided to keep it in my hydro flask for the other features. After a couple weeks of using I decided to test my remaining water randomly and low and behold! It was 10+PH on one test, then 9.5PH and 9 on other occasions. I'm assuming the product can work as mentioned immediately but for desired results it could manifest within a week or two of use as noticed from my flask water sitting over night.Goal was to have higher ph water and provide minerals for my RO water, which seems to be working. Second goal was to be able to keep water from previous days in my hydro flask without having to constantly dump the water. Everything seems to be working smoothly. Thanks!

I moved from a 4/3 house that had a softener and filter on the entire house to a 2/2 apartment (hello, divorced life). I drink a ton of water and I can’t stand the chlorine, nasty, processed, city water taste in the apartment.I ordered this to use in the stainless steel water jug that I keep in the refrigerator (also not a fan of plastic chemicals). It does clean the taste of the water and I’ve been using this product for over a year and keep rebuying it.It does take effort because you have to let the packet sit in the water jug for a few minutes every time you refill the jug with water and then take the packet out and save it (I keep the filter packet in the refrigerator in the original resealable pack that it came in) to be used again the next time you refill your jug. I’m thinking about buying a Berkey System but I don’t like clutter on my counters.This works well for me and my daughter and guests now and I’ll keep buying it.
