How to Make Filtered Water Alkaline Naturally at Home

Filtered water is an excellent way to remove impurities, chlorine, and other unwanted substances, but it can sometimes lose essential minerals during the filtration process, making it slightly acidic. If you’re looking to restore balance and boost hydration, learning how to make filtered water alkaline is a simple and effective step you can take at home.

Increasing your water’s pH level can support better hydration, aid digestion, and help neutralise acid buildup in the body. Below are a few natural and convenient ways to make your filtered water alkaline — using common household ingredients or premium alkaline water filters and stones from Genzon Water.

1. Add a Slice of Lemon

Although lemons are naturally acidic, they have an alkalising effect once digested by the body. Adding a few slices of lemon to your filtered water can gently raise its alkalinity while giving it a refreshing citrus flavour. You can also squeeze in fresh lemon juice and let it sit for a few minutes before drinking. This method is great for those who want a quick, natural way to increase water pH naturally while enjoying additional vitamin C and antioxidants.

2. Use Baking Soda

One of the simplest and most cost-effective methods to make water alkaline is by adding a pinch of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Mix about ⅛ teaspoon per litre of filtered water and stir well until dissolved. Baking soda instantly raises the pH level, making it more alkaline. However, if you’re on a low-sodium diet, it’s best to use this method sparingly or explore alkaline filter stones as a low-sodium alternative.

3. Try Alkaline Mineral Drops

Alkaline booster drops are concentrated mineral solutions that can quickly transform your filtered water into alkaline drinking water. A few drops per glass can elevate the pH without changing the taste. These drops often contain essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium — the same minerals found in Genzon Water’s mineral stones and filter cartridges that naturally remineralise and balance water.

4. Invest in an Alkaline Water Pitcher or Filter

For a long-term solution, consider upgrading your setup with a Genzon Water alkaline filter system. These systems are designed to remineralise water by adding back beneficial elements such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. This not only boosts alkalinity but also enhances the taste and promotes better hydration.

Using an alkaline water filter or pitcher means you can enjoy consistently healthy, balanced water straight from your tap — no additives required. Explore the full range of filters and stones available on Genzon Water to find a model that fits your household needs.

5. Use pH Testing Kits

No matter which method you use, it’s important to check the results. Use pH testing strips or a digital pH meter to measure the alkalinity of your water. Ideally, drinking water should be between pH 7.5 and 9.0. Testing regularly ensures you maintain consistent water quality and avoid over-alkalisation.

Benefits of Alkaline Water

Switching to alkaline water can offer a range of potential benefits, including:

• Improved hydration and energy levels
  

• Better digestion and reduced acid reflux
  

• Enhanced detoxification and antioxidant properties
  

• Support for bone and joint health
  

By incorporating alkaline water solutions into your daily routine, you can support overall wellbeing in a simple, sustainable way.
