A Debate Between Pure Water Distillers and Water Filtering Systems
You will find good arguments on both sides of the debate as to whether pure water distillers are better than water filter systems. The filtered water system leaves the minerals in the water, and the pure water distiller takes the minerals out.
Both of the systems have the ability to remove the unhealthy contaminates in water, such as lead, chlorine, bacteria, herbicides, and others. But it's what is left in the water of one and taken out of the water in the other one that is the main debate.
Pros for the pure water distiller say the body can't absorb the inorganic minerals anyway, and that leaving them in is actually harming your body. Where the pro water filter system experts say, that the body was designed to work with water that contains traces of inorganic minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
When you take the minerals out of the water you end up with an acidic pH. What I've learned is you don't want the pH level in your body to be overly acidic, because that is when cancer cells can develop and thrive. So for me it is not practical to drink water with an acidic pH.
The believers in pure water distillers say you can take mineral supplements to counter effect the fact that you took the minerals out of your water. That doesn't make practical sense to me.
First, why should I buy a product to put something into my body when I could have just as easy left it in by filtering my water instead of using a pure water distiller? And second, are the minerals supplements I buy as good of a choice as what nature has put into my water naturally? Since I am all for natural, I don't think so.
I believe if we drink de-mineralized water it will pull the minerals out of my body to balance itself. So I am not getting minerals from my water, plus it is actually robbing my body of the minerals I do have trying to get it back into the proper form that my body can use. Doesn't make much sense to me.
I do believe pure water distillers remove all the harmful chemicals and contaminates in the water, so it is a far better choice than not filtering at all. But I would rather see you invest in a two-stage carbon water filter that utilizes carbon filtration, ion exchange, and sub micron filtration. This water treatment system will take out all the harmful substances and leave the good natural minerals in.

Okay.
#1-”When you take the minerals out of the water you end up with an acidic pH.” It is a myth that distilled water is “acidic”. Because distilled water is so pure, if not stored in an airtight container, it is possible over time to absorb a very low amount of CO2, (carbon dioxide), from the surrounding air. This may cause the results of a ph test to appear acidic. But the reason for this is that because everything, (either alkaline and acidic) has been eliminated from the water, only a very minuscule amount of any acidic substance, (from the surrounding air for example), will cause a ph scale reading to appear acidic. (A ph scale does not measure how much acid is in water, as it only measures the relative amount of acid vs. alkali.) It is very difficult if not impossible to quantify how much actual acid is contained in distilled water because of this, but it is very safe to say that it is a very, very low amount. So even though a ph reading of distilled water may appear to be a little on the acidic side, the actual amount of acidic substances in distilled water is far less than what is contained in a regular glass of tap water.
#2-”The believers in pure water distillers say you can take mineral supplements to counter effect the fact that you took the minerals out of your water. That doesn’t make practical sense to me.” The truth is that we get 95% of the minerals we need from the foods we eat, not the water we drink. It is not sensible to get a very small amount of minerals from our drinking water by also consuming all of the bad minerals and other pollutants and contaminates contained in drinking water. It is like saying, “Go eat a handful of dirt from your backyard because it might also contain a few good minerals.” People who say that you need to get minerals from your drinking water are uninformed to put it kindly.
#3-”First, why should I buy a product to put something into my body when I could have just as easy left it in by filtering my water instead of using a pure water distiller? And second, are the minerals supplements I buy as good of a choice as what nature has put into my water naturally?”
Because the “something” you are leaving in the water is NOT all good minerals, far from it. There is all kinds of crap in it. It’s not “nature” that is polluting the water. It is man-made pollutants that is also left in the “filtered” water.
#4-”I believe if we drink de-mineralized water it will pull the minerals out of my body to balance itself.” You “believe” wrong. It has been scientifically proven that distilled water does not “pull minerals out” of your body. I’ll be happy to provide it.
#5-”This water treatment system will take out all the harmful substances and leave the good natural minerals in.” Firstly, the system you are referring to does NOT “take out ALL the harmful substances…” etc. Secondly, it does NOT “leave only “the good natural minerals in”. It helps, but it does not compare with a water distillation system. No other method is as effective as distillation. None.
