The Alkaline Plus PH Ionizer Pitcher - The Best!
This Alkaline PH Pitcher is the best portable water ionizer we have come across. Many alkaline water filter pitchers don't work too well, but this one does. The Alkaline Plus PH Ionizer Pitcher to be able to give you really great-tasting natural alkaline water.
A lot of people ask me, "What's a good product to use to start drinking alkaline ionized water?" My answer is usually to buy the Alkaline Plus Pitcher. This pitcher gets great customer reviews too.
I've tested many other alkaline water pitchers before settling on the Alkaline Plus PH Ionizer Pitcher. The Alkaline Plus Pitcher consistently proves itself to me as a superior ionizing pitcher.
I normally use an electric water ionizer, but I use this pitcher regularly, whenever I travel. It's so easy to carry a couple of filter cartridges around to use on the fly. Once home I'll dry them out and store them to save the filter life.
Plastic bottles are bad for you and the environment, so I never buy bottled. But when you're flying that's all the airline offers. Ordinary filtered water is just not good enough for me. I guess I'm spoiled to the benefits of alkaline water.
Compared to other pitchers, here's what you can expect from the Alkaline Plus PH Ionizing Pitcher:
The Alkaline Pitcher lasts the longest, and produces the best pH and ORP (oxidation reduction potential).
It changes the pH level of either tap water or bottled water to a nice alkaline pH.
This awesome Alkaline PH Pitcher raises pH and lightly Ionizes the water better than any other pitcher I've tested.
I've seen the PH Pitcher produce Negative ORP stronger than other pH pitchers, transforming regular water into antioxidant ionized water.
Removes chlorine, organic impurities, odor and many other chemicals, such as some fluoride. 
The Alkaline Plus PH Pitcher is BPA free! Made with safe, AS & ABS food-grade plastics.
The pitcher's filter permanently absorbs metals, such as lead, copper and aluminum, so your drinking water will be cleaner.
This portable pH pitcher improves the taste of water to give you great alkaline plus drinking water.
Portable water ionizers have four main ingredients: Active carbon, ion-exchange resin, ORP balls [magnetized ceramic balls], Magnesium balls.
The PH alkaline filter will last about 250 or so liters [up to 70 gallons].
Any Alkaline Pitcher will give you the best filtration at the rate of 1 quart or liter at a time
For best pH recharge and performance or when using acidic source water, wait a half hour before filtering again.
See article about extensive testing of the Alkaline Plus Pitcher
Operating the Alkaline Water Pitcher & Getting the Best Results
The pH pitcher removes chlorine & raises pH.
Alkaline water pitchers work best when you keep the filter moist. When done right the pitcher raises pH to 8.5-9.7 easily. The best way to test this is with pH reagent drops.
The "new filter" set-up is different from regular daily use...two separate things.
During "new filter" set-up (any time you install a new filter) the purpose of rinsing is to remove the loose carbon dust inside the filter. If the water looks grey, it still needs more rinsing. Once it looks clear you're good to go until the next time you insert a new filter.
The rinsed filter is now "wet" and will be ready to go in about 20 minutes. It takes about 20 minutes for the time-release magnesium balls in the filter to activate.
Any time in the future that the filter is dry, just pour about a cup of water into it to re-wet the filter. 20 minutes later you're good to go. Or if you scatter your use throughout the day the filter will stay wet enough for instant use.
By the way, these are simply suggestions. If you don't follow them you still will get fine water. It's just that following the above guidelines will make sure you get as good results as you see online in any of my video tests.
What causes the variables in the alkaline pH pitcher's ability to ionize?
Inside the filter are magnesium balls, which are time-release. When moist it prepares the outer layer of magnesium for release. With moderate filter use throughout the day, this filter retains enough moisture to keep these balls ready for action. 
With or Without Timer?
The Timer Piece for the Alkaline Plus Pitcher is available separately, or you can choose the third or fourth option, above. 
The timer only counts the days for you and calculates the filter expiration, based on the number of users you select. You can do this with or without a timer.
If you place the timer piece in the refrigerator it may malfunction because of possible condensation. We do not guarantee these timer pieces, and the pitcher will last many more years than the timer will. These are things to think about when deciding to purchase the pitcher with or without timer.
Timer Piece Installation: If you choose the timer option we will send you the timer flip-top-piece separately. It will be up to you to install it.  The video shows how to replace or exchange the top flip-piece on the lid. 
Setting or Re-Setting the Timer
If there is a film covering the screen remove it so you can see better.
Push and hold the start button for 5 seconds and let go.
If you see the screen has an "X" over the filter icon then double-click the start button right away. This should give you a screen with a single face flashing on the left. 
If step 3 doesn't get rid of the "X", or you just get a blank screen, repeat step 2 and 3.
To change the number of faces, wait for the screen to show faces flashing, then do "Quick clicks" until you see the number of faces you want. [Each face represents numbers of gallons you expect to make each day.]
When the correct number of faces are flashing on the screen, then push/hold the start button for 5 seconds. It should now be set, and you should see the correct number of faces with a filter icon and no flashing.
Just leave it this way. Eventually the screen will go blank, but any time you want you can give a quick push to the start button to see the proper screen again.
There is no noise when the timer runs out. What happens is you give a quick push to the start button and will see a screen with an "X" over the filter. This means it's time to change the filter, after which you should go through the steps above to reprogram it.
At one gallon per day the filter should need changing in two months. You don't need to use the timer to know this. A calendar or mental note will do.
The timer is electronic and shouldn't get wet. It is not a guaranteed feature, and is there for convenience and/or decoration only, as it has no relation to the proper functioning of the filter. It's also not suggested to store the timer in the refrigerator. What could happen is that condensation could possibly form inside the timer and short out the electronics.
Instructions for the Alkaline Ionizer Pitcher
How to Install the Lock-Tight Lid
Remove the bin & lid from the pitcher

Trouble-Shooting a Clogged Filter
If the filter is overpacked (clogged), follow these simple instructions to fix it. Also, let us know about the problem and we'll include a free filter with your next order.
Shake it, and then try again.
Or, if that doesn't work, immerse it in cold water and soak it for 10 minutes, then shake it and try again.
Or, if that doesn't resolve it, add a tbsp. of vinegar to the water and soak for 20 minutes
If it still seems clogged, soak it overnight and try again.

I was wondering how the filter would work with RO water. I tested the reverse osmosis water at it has been between 6 and 6.5 on the Ph scale. After the filter I get a 10 Ph reading every time. I’ve even tested the water again after 10 hours being in the vacuum containers I purchased and I still get a reading of 9.5 to 10 Ph. I do use magnetized earth rings and EM1 beads with my RO water so that may help boost it, and I also add trace minerals after the filter. The water is the best tasting water I have ever tasted in all my life – taste like really good sweet water. I drink well over a gallon a day and add it to my smoothies and green drinks. I noticed that I lost some weight just by drinking the higher Ph mineral rich water.

Love the product. Whole family uses it. Got ones for both daughters. I also use the water in my Espresso machine as the coffee tastes softer.

I was really skeptical about ionization, but it has made a big difference in my energy level. I got it just to use as a filter because the tap water in the city I am in is really gross and I was spending a small fortune on bottled water. I am glad I did!

I just got my ORP meter and tested the Wellblue. My orp was -250 and the pH was 10.1. I think it’s great! I tested my electric alkalinizer and it ‘s getting about 9.2 and a -25 ORP . Even though this is small, it’s still way faster than the electric( 1 gallon batch). I’m well pleased with it.

I am devoted to my little pitcher. As promised it makes my water alkaline and the filters are lasting 3 months with regular, daily fill ups, sometimes more than once. I’m saving a ton of money since I no longer have to buy bottled ph balanced water. Also I’m going on a 3 week vacation to a condo in Hawaii the end of this year and, proving the beauty of portability, I’ll be mailing it to use while there. I have LPR ( laryngopharyngeal reflux) and I am able to eat foods higher in acid when I drink my ionized water.

Well I receive my two WellBlue Pitchers today. I followed the instructions and let both filters set in water for 15 minutes to activate them. Then, as instructed, I filled both reservoirs twice with water and let them filter into the pitchers; and disposed of that water. According to Cathleen at AlkalineWaterPlus.com, I should now let the filters rest for two or three hours to get the best results. Of course I did not do that, so these results should be much better in future tests.I did not test my tap water today, but I know it usually ranges from 9.2 to 10.5 PH with a high ORP of +230. First Wellblue Pitcher tested: 10.6 PH & -248 ORP. I am excited to be drinking water with a -200 ORP or greater. I am hoping after letting it rest between filtering that I will get into the -300 ORP range. A few hours later: I have drank the first pitcher and starting on the 2nd pitcher. I tested this second pitcher and here are those results: Second Wellblue Pitcher tested: 10.6 PH & -456 ORP. Than is impressive! And Cathleen’s support has also been impressive. I am not sure I have ever seen a business be so committed to their customer’s.

August 2014 will make three months since I’ve been using the WellBlue Portable Water Ionizer Pitcher. My NYC tap water is acidic at pH 5 and once processed through this pitcher the pH becomes 10. The water tastes fantastic! If you follow the directions to remove the filter and keep it in a plastic baggie when not in use, the filter lasts significantly longer. I’ve turned several friends onto it and they’ve purchased WellBlue and LOVE it. I use it for my water-based smoothies and cook everything using it, including boiled eggs just in case the eggs crack while boiling. I even use the alkaline water for my ice cube tray! Obsessed much? Why, yes I am, and happily so! I will continue to recommend the WellBlue Portable to others and plan to buy one to keep in the office so I can stop traveling with the two 24-ounce thermos bottles I also purchased with the pitcher.
