Does Coconut Carbon in the Brita® Alkaline Pitcher Filter Remove PFAS/PFOS?

Coconut carbon, a form of activated carbon made from coconutshells, removesPFAS/PFOS from water to some extent. Activated carbon filters, including those made from coconut shells, adsorb contaminants onto their surface. Coconut carbon's effectiveness in removing PFAS compounds can vary. While it can reduce PFAS/PFOS levels, complete removal may not be guaranteed. For optimal results, use a combination of water treatment methods.

How long does alkaline water stay alkaline in your Brita® Water Pitcher with Alkaline Pitcher Replacement Filter?

Alkaline water, filtered through the Brita® Water Pitcher with Alkaline Pitcher Replacement Filters, typically maintains its pH level for several weeks to months or longer when stored in a sealed container. Storage conditions and initial water pH contribute to variations. In a decade-old partnership with Dr. Robert O Young, alkaline water bottled in a sealed blue glass bottle measured 9.2 pH over a year later.

What is the connection between alkaline mineral water, antioxidant potential, and aquaporin channels?

Brita® Alkaline Pitcher Filters, manufactured by Life’s Better Brand, are designed to create alkaline drinking water with antioxidant properties. These antioxidants neutralize free radicals in the body. The negatively charged alkaline water molecules hydrate cells more effectively, attaching them to toxins within cells. This process aids in detoxification as toxins are flushed out through the liver. The discovery of "Aquaporins," the protein pathways in trillions of cells, was honored with a Nobel Prize in 2003. This validated the efficiency of alkaline mineral water in promoting cellular hydration and detoxification

How does alkaline mineral water contribute to efficient hydration?

Researchers have demonstrated that electrolyzed alkaline mineral water enhances hydration by activating aquaporins, specialized water channels in cells. These channels open more effectively in the presence of negatively charged water molecules, facilitating better cell hydration and detoxification. Alkaline water, with its higher concentration of OH- (hydroxide) ions, hydrates aquaporins (the water channels in cell membranes) more efficiently.

What is Alkaline Mineral Water, and how does it differ from regular water?

Alkaline Mineral Water is water with a higher pH level, typically between 8 and 9. It differs from regular water by containing essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals contribute to water alkalinity and haveover 40 health benefits that have been Scientifically Proven.

I noticed some spots on my copper drinking water bottle. My Sister is fine with it as she looked it up and it doesn't effect the quality of the water, but I am obsessive compulsive so I want my to look perfect

The black and green spots you're observing on a copper drinking bottle are likely signs of oxidation and tarnishing. Copper, being a reactive metal, undergoes a process called patination when exposed to air and moisture. This process can result in the formation of green spots (verdigris) and black areas (copper oxide).

  1. Using Dawn Dishwasher Soap: Generally, dish soaps like Dawn are safe for cleaning copper, as they are gentle and effective at removing grease and grime. However, they may not be sufficient to remove oxidation or tarnish.
  2. Best Method to Clean and Remove Black and Green Spots: Vinegar and Salt Solution:* Mix equal parts of white vinegar and salt. Apply this mixture to the tarnished areas and rub gently with a soft cloth or sponge. The acid in the vinegar and the abrasiveness of the salt can help remove tarnishing.
  3. Lemon and Salt: Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle salt on its cut side, and rub this over the spots. Lemon's natural acidity and salt's abrasiveness work well together.
  4. Baking Soda Paste: Make a paste with baking soda and water. Apply it to the spots and gently scrub. This is a mild abrasive and can be effective for removing tarnish.
  5. Commercial Copper Cleaners: If home remedies don't work, you might consider a commercial copper cleaner. These are formulated specifically for cleaning copper and can be very effective.

Important Tips:

  • Always rinse the bottle thoroughly with water after cleaning.
  • Dry it completely to prevent further oxidation.
  • Test any cleaning method on a small, inconspicuous area first.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasives or steel wool, as these can scratch the copper.
  • Regular cleaning can prevent heavy tarnish buildup.

    Remember, the patina that develops on copper can be considered desirable by some, as it gives the metal an antique look. However, if you prefer your copper shiny and bright, regular cleaning is necessary.
