hi gkbt, Like nyc76, I'm also keen in Hexagon Alkaline water http://www.ecosway.com/usstore/us/ProductDetails_us.jsp?prodId=48121&categoryRefNo=110&categoryGroup=B My question is: 1. how does the water get "alkalined" 2. can water be broken down into smaller water molecule cluster through their magnetic rings 3. What's your feel about this water filter Also, generally doesn't a 0.01micron filter filters away everything including minerals essential for the bodies?
