But you still do not know what is in the water you'll only know pH. As far as I know, municipalities do very limited testing. Its really a don't ask don't tell type thing. There are no test for pharmaceical drugs, recreation drugs, heroin or methadone. All these drugs that go into a persons body come out and go down the drain. For those that live in St Louis, MO they are downstream of Chicago!! BTW, the Chicago River is the only river in the world that flows away from a lake! (intentionally!!) Wouldn't distilled water (aciditic) become alkaline forming simply by adding a slice of lemon?
The process of adding silver to distilled water creates charged water. I believe lemon in distilled water does also. Can both be viewed as an alkaline/acid differernation ?

When you start with tap water you have minerals, such as calcium, potassium and so forth, and the other ions such as chlorine, fluorine, carbonate. The ionizer separates these to produce an alkaline stream with the minerals such as calcium and potassium hydroxide, and an acid stream that contains the chlorine, fluorine, and carbon dioxide. If you start with distilled water, there is nothing to separate and send to the two streams, both would still be distilled water.
