We are a family of 4 and we buy 3 gallons of tap water at Ralphs, etc.
Since we are all home all the time, the water runs out fast and we have to buy more every time, and it takes up a lot of space
We are thinking of buying a water purifier to install in the kitchen or place in the house.
Is there anyone who uses Pi-water, which is mentioned in Nikkei magazine? ?
How does it taste like? ?
We are thinking about Kangen Water, but it is expensive, so we are looking for something more reasonable.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations for water purifiers.
Thank you very much.

Tell me how often you change the filters and how much it costs each time.

Our initial cost $ is 80 and the lease is less than $ 30 per month. They change the filters for free once a year.

First, regarding Paiwater.

If you Google "Pi-water" in Japanese, you will find all kinds of advertisements and articles on Japanese sites. Some of them say it is "the ideal water for beauty and health", or even "if you keep drinking this water, all the bad elements in your body will be washed away", but there is no scientific or medical evidence for these claims.

I think it is about the size of a Reverse Osmosis Reverse Osimoses Filter, so I think it has the same or similar structure as a
RO filter. That would be a very expensive expense.

There are three main types of water purifiers: those that attach to the tap, those that fill a large pitcher with tap water and filter it from above, and those that attach the large device mentioned above under the sink. Both of these types pass tap water through activated charcoal, which mainly removes chlorine. Although the odor of chlorine is eliminated, if ingested in large quantities, the deadly minerals will pass through the activated charcoal micron by micron and enter the body. However, these deadly minerals are safe to drink directly from the tap water as they have no effect on the body. 

Reverse Osmosis RO Filters are large and require a professional to install, unless you are a handyman. That is why there are contractors for installation and maintenance. You can find a list of such companies in this Bibi Town Guide by searching for "water purifier".

I am using AQUA PACIFIC's R.O system water purifier.
I think the installation fee was roughly $80. The lease fee is $24 per month
and includes twice yearly maintenance and filter replacement.
The taste of the water is tasteless and odorless in a good sense, almost like fresh water, so Japanese food and rice are very tasty. I am by no means a turncoat, but I recommend the R.O. system in terms of both labor and cost.

RO removes all the nutrients, even the essential nutrients, so you have to take supplements.

Tamagotchi,

The annual expense is $368 including the initial cost and $288 for the second year. That's an okay expense if you leave it all to us.


Former grocer,

> RO removes all essential nutrients

What do you expect "essential nutrients" to be in just tap water?
RO filters filter out everything but the water elements ( molecules ) making the water supremely safe.


However, this device has one major drawback. The reverse osmosis membrane ( membrane ) only allows pure hydrogen molecules to pass through. In other words, all other impurities, such as dangerous inorganic minerals, bacteria, and other organic debris, adhere to the outside of the membrane, so the device periodically washes them out.

After removing the filtered water several times, you will hear a "sizzling" sound from this device for about 10 minutes. This is the sound of impurities being washed off the membrane, and the waste water is connected to a sewer line under the sink and discharged into the sewage system. The amount of water wasted can be up to three times the amount of water that comes out of the filtration system. Yes, for every gallon of pure water taken, up to three gallons of tap water are wasted.

RO membrane is a water purification system that can purify seawater. RO membrane is a water purification system that can purify seawater to fresh water, but it also removes minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc. that are necessary for the body. It is officially announced. ?
Why doesn't the water sold in plastic bottles, Ralphs, etc. go bad even if it is left for a long period of time ?
They just change the taste of regular tap water, but not the composition.
Water purifiers, Brita, etc. remove chlorine and other substances, so once the water is purified and exposed to the air, it becomes infested with bacteria in 2 days.
The reason why humidifiers are tap water only is because purified water would make the bacteria fly away as mist. It's common sense
And in most parts of the US, bottled water has been proven to be no safer than tap water.
You can google this stuff a bit and you'll find plenty of it
It's a waste of money.

What is safe is tap water, WHO standards
If you don't like the taste of tap water, you can purify it
RO water purifiers are necessary in countries like Mexico and Latin America where tap water is undrinkable
People using them here in the US and Japan are honestly being scammed
I told them it is wrong knowledge. I'm just saying that it is wrong knowledge. It's a matter of personal values. I don't recommend anything. Are you an idiot ??

Once upon a time, I read about Pai Water in a free Japanese magazine.
It claimed that the water was safe for both freshwater and saltwater fish.
So I put Pi-water in the tank for the only goldfish that grew up in my house
and the goldfish started to turn around in the tank.
Oh ! as expected of Paiwater ! the goldfish was swimming with great joy ! but
the next day it died 。。。。 Chi ~ n。。。。。

Mr. Wasted Money,

> RO membranes are water purification systems that can turn seawater into fresh water

That is exactly what RO purifiers were originally developed for, and I helped a company that developed and manufactured RO systems for commercial use a long time ago. The company was delivering RO systems the size of equipment to countries in the Middle East where oil comes out of the ground in rotten oil but there is nothing but deserts and oceans, and they also made RO systems for cruisers and larger vessels. They also delivered to remote bases, although I can't tell you where the U.S. military was located.

He also explained to me the detailed principles of RO systems. Basically, reverse osmosis membranes do not allow substances larger than the tiniest H20 water particle ( molecule ) to pass through. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chlorine are all larger than water particles. Germs are like basketballs compared to golf balls. And even water particles swell in size at high temperatures, making the system less efficient.

Urine excreted by the crew of observation satellites flying around the earth is also an important source of water, so it is filtered through this RO system and made into drinking water again. 40Zula's oldest son introduced this RO system to our family for the first time when he was in elementary school. When I gave him the water from the system, his first reaction was "it tastes like water". In other words, it tastes like real water. In other words, the tap water he had been drinking was not tasty at all.

My family takes the minerals necessary for our bodies from regular food, and regardless of the RO water purifier, we always take one tablet of general vitamin &mineral tablets a day just to be safe. We are also told to store tap water in large bottles in case of a natural disaster such as a major earthquake, but even in this case, the city of LA instructs us to put a teaspoon of chlorine bleach in a gallon of water, as the chlorine in the tap water will not last a week.
