RO w/an ionizer you mean? (that's what makes water alkaline or acidic

)

I was looking into this and RO removes the good stuff along with the bad. We decided against this because we concluded that the level of filtering the ionizer does makes RO unnecessary. We chose to eliminate our RO for that reason - we were originally considering leaving the RO but then you have to "add back in" the good stuff. . . . RO removes the good minerals along with the bad that naturally occur in water so if you really feel you want your RO, you can buy something to add to the water. We didn't go this way but there are "alkaline drops" to raise the PH of reverse osmosis. I think a quick google of "alkaline drops" would give you the product you look for.

Not sure I am explaining this correctly but I researched it really heavily so I understand the idea -- it was my original idea as well

Actually we still have our RO under the sink - it needs to be removed - I may resell it but I am not entirely comfortable selling something that I believe is unhealthy

So we are taking a loss on something we spent quite a bit of money on only a few years ago

Dh likes to mention it to me once in a while

I am considering trying to sell it through our buying club but haven't really decided
