- 1). Test the pH of your water by following the directions that came with your pH testing kit. The pH scale runs from zero to 14 with seven being neutral. Zero to seven is acidic and seven to 14 is alkaline. Tap water typically has a neutral pH, with slight variances on either side. Testing the pH of your water will tell you if your water leans to the acidic or alkaline side of the scale.
- 2). Purchase a water distiller to remove bacteria and other impurities from your water. Distilling tap water not only makes it more alkaline, but also removes most of the impurities.
- 3). Obtain a water ionizer. Ionizers work by filtering the water, optionally adding minerals such as calcium and then moving this filtered water over positively charged electrons. The current in the ionizer acts on the pH of the water to separate the water into acidic and alkaline streams, each of which comes out of a different chamber.
- 4). Add alkaline ingredients such as lemon or lime juice to alkalize water inexpensively. This also provides added vitamin C and a nice flavor.
- 5). Test the pH of the water again. Optimal pH for alkalized water is between 8 and 9.
