Essentia’s proprietary process “Ionic Separation” produces “thinner” water, also referred to as structured or clustered water. This process removes most of the acidic ions in the water, resulting in a smoother, sweeter tasting water with no harsh, mineral aftertaste.

Essentia Water is non-source dependent, which means Essentia can be produced and bottled anywhere in the world using virtually any water source. Essentia currently uses municipal water as its source supply. The water is completely purified using a filtration and reverse osmosis process that reduces TDS (total dissolved solids) down to approximately 3 ppm (parts per million).

You can find Essentia in most natural and health food stores across the country. Essentia can also be found in the health food sections of many major supermarkets as well as a growing number of fitness centers, spas and offices of healthcare practitioners. In circumstances where Essentia may not be available in your area, Essentia Water would be pleased to ship directly to your home or office. (Click here for the “BUY ESSENTIA” page)

Essentia Water uses a proprietary process called Ionic Separation. There are two ions in water. One is negatively charged (alkaline) and the other is positively charged (acidic). This process uses electrolysis to electrically split water into alkaline and acidic streams. We bottle only the alkaline stream. In doing so, we are bottling the water that has had the acidic ion removed, which naturally raises the pH of the remaining water.

The smaller water clusters, “thinner water”, of Essentia Water are more efficient in passing into and out of the body’s cells. Regular water requires conditioning in order to be accepted by the cell. This process takes time and results in a backup of ingested water, giving this bloated sensation. Essentia Water has a lower surface tension giving the water a characteristic described as “silky” by those drinking it.

Everyone has different water intake requirements. The rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces daily. For example, if you weight 100 lbs, convention would suggest you drink at least 50oz (one 1.5 liter) daily. Your level of activity, environment, diet and stress levels should be taken into consideration, as all of these determine your water intake requirement.

Definitely. However drinking Essentia Water will not by itself insure a properly pH balanced system. Essentia Water was designed to assist the body in neutralizing acidic conditions. The benefit of a properly balanced system is lower incidence and severity of infections such as colds, the flu and other infections.

In the “Ionic Separation” process, we free up active hydrogen. The most efficient scavenger of free radicals is active hydrogen.

The lack of hardness in your water is altering the taste of the water. If you find that you want to change the taste of your drinking water to eliminate this taste, we recommend a Reverse Osmosis system.

Water may have an undesirable taste or smell if it has been stagnant in household plumbing too long. A 3 X 7 flush should alleviate the taste and odor issues. Should the undesirable properties persist, decide if a particular faucet is at fault. Sometimes point of use equipment, water softeners, water heaters, or in-line filters, can be the cause of strange tastes or smells.

Any one of the following could cause people to notice a slight smell or a taste or a change in the smell or taste of their drinking water:

A common remark regarding the taste of ionized alkaline water is that it tastes smoother and more delicious than conventional water. This is due to the smaller size of the molecular clusters. It also makes better coffee, tea and juice, and is excellent for cooking because it helps hydrate the food and bring out its flavor. n addition, ionized alkaline water does not make you feel bloated even if you drink a lot of it at once, compared with regular water.

Ketosis occurs when an individual is burning body fat at a rapid rate in the absence of carbohydrate intake. It causes taste changes and since water has no flavor, it can take on a metallic taste.

Simply stated, Litmus Papers cannot be used to determine the pH of clean water or exceptionally pure waters like Essentia. Chemicals on the litmus strip actually alter the pH as the water is being tested. The TDS (total dissolved solids) of a tested liquid must be above 150 to 200 ppm (parts per million) to initiate a sufficient reaction on pH paper.

We do. Our label clearly states that we add magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium. We do not specify the levels of the added minerals because the FDA rules state that all ingredients must be listed as “zero” unless each ingredient (mineral) is greater than 5 mg (milligrams) per serving. All ingredients in Essentia Water are less than 5 mg per serving. Yes, structured water and clustered water are synonymous. Water naturally occurs in clusters of 12-18 individual water molecules.

The water from all innowave systems tastes fresh, crisp and chlorine-free. The innowave distillation systems destroy the myth that distilled water tastes flat as the post carbon filtration polishes the taste. You may even find that you become addicted to the taste of innowave water at work and start taking innowave water home with you or install an innowave system in your home.

Taste and odor problems with the tap water can come from numerous sources. Lake turnover that occurs in the spring and fall can create problems from organic material from the bottom of the lake. New plumbing fixtures or new carpet in the house can combine with chemicals in the water to create odors.

If you recently moved from an area where the water contained very few naturally occurring minerals, your new water may taste different due to the minerals it contains. Just as various brands of bottled water taste different due to the varying levels of different minerals they contain, so the taste of domestic drinking water varies with its source. It could be that you're simply not used to the new taste yet.

The City of Thief River Falls processes water from the Red Lake River. During periods of high flow, more organic material is in the water. This material causes taste to the water. The 1993 remodel of the water treatment plant included a 250,000 gallon pre-sedimentation basin. The water has chemicals added to treat taste and odor as the water flows into the basin. This basin operation has allowed for the removal of taste and odor that was not possible in the 1951 plant process.
