Did You Know That Alkaline Water Must Be Stored in Glass Containers? (And where does one find some good ones?)


    I am sure many of you have heard the hoopla about alkaline water and its advantages for health and energy. I've done a lot of research on it myself. The best source of information, though, was actually speaking on the phone at length to the designer of a great ionizer that I have now used for years with excellent results. I happened to get him on the phone one day when I was calling in with a question. Being a veteran phone schmoozer, I took the opportunity to ply him with all my questions about alkaline water.

    He told me that there are a lot of things that no one tells alkaline water users. One of the key things is that the water does not stay ionized (alkalized) for more than a day or two, and that to best retain its alkalinity, it must be stored in glass containers only, not plastic, and in the dark. Light apparently causes the ionization to break down. These points never seem to be covered anywhere, so I am glad to mention them here. I see alkaline water for sale in grocery stores these days- do not buy. And if you don't believe me, test it yourself with ph strips.

    I of course have ph strips and tested all this out myself, He was right- plastic containers cause rapid deterioration. And alkalinity does only  last a day or two.

    Since then, I have been on a search for good, and inexpensive, glass containers. Ones that won't break or make a mess, and are the right size.

    For large batches of water, a cleaned-out pickle jar works just great, and is free with the pickles!

    But one can't take a pickle jar to work or when travelling.

    I have finally found some good, actually leak-proof bottles that I can put in my purse along with my makeup and wallet, and not worry about leaks or breakage.

   This is Pratico Leakproof Glass Bottles (pack of 2). I studied the data about them on Amazon, and by applying was lucky enough to get a set at no cost with a request for a review and feedback.

    I have been using my bottles non-stop since I got them. First, as already mentioned, they do NOT  leak. And they are made of very sturdy Pyrex-like glass- thick and strong.

    They have ounce-measuring markers on the side, so you can see how many ounces you have stored. They are easy to hold, and also (most important) fit easily  into my medium-size purse.

    The design, in my opinion, is sleek and nice-looking, The cap is sturdy too and screws and unscrews easily.

     Of course, I tested my alkaline water with this bottle, and it it is excellent at maintaining the alkalinity. And it's dark in my purse- presto, I'm all set for a long day of work and travel.

     You can find these bottles on Amazon and I'll put the link below.

     As a note, in my previous long searches for glass bottles, the other ones I found were klunky-looking and way more expensive than these- it's a plus that you get  two at that price.

    Thanks for reading this. I'd like to propose a toast (with my new bottle) to healthy alkaline water!
