What makes Essentia better? Their proprietary ionization process creates supercharged ionized alkaline water in 3 steps. Step 1: Unwanted particles are removed through microfiltration and reverse osmosis, making Essentia 99.9% pure. Step 2: The water is infused with trace amounts of electrolytes; not just for taste, but to better complement the body’s natural mix. Step 3: Bitter tasting acidic ions are removed, creating a supercharged alkaline water with pH levels of 9.5 or higher.
