How To Remove the Taste of Chlorine from Your Water

Why Is Chlorine Added to Tap Water?

First off, it sounds obvious, but the reason your water tastes of chlorine is because chlorine is in your drinking water!

Chlorine is a disinfectant, deliberately added to municipal drinking water to reduce the risk of germs such as Campylobacter, norovirus and Salmonella infecting the tap water. Before the practice of adding chlorine to water became commonplace, people were at risk of contracting diseases such as typhoid, dysentery and cholera. Disease rates in most of the population were dramatically reduced after chlorine was added to public water systems.

How Does Chlorine Disinfect Tap Water?

Chlorine will tackle most viruses and microorganisms, but not quite all. It also cannot touch other types of serious toxic contaminants – lead, for example.

People talk about how Chlorine ‘purifies’ water, and it is true that chlorination of drinking water neutralizes pathogens at a molecular level, by breaking the proteins present in the cell structure of the various bacterium.

Is Chlorine in Water Harmful to Health?

The subject of whether chlorine is harmful to human health is a live debate that’s been rumbling on for a few years now. The official word from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is blandly reassuring:

“Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to drinking water to kill parasites, bacteria, and viruses…. Using or drinking water with small amounts of chlorine does not cause harmful health effects and provides protection against waterborne disease outbreaks.”

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

However, while water companies are tasked with carefully monitoring the levels of chlorine in tap water, there is a growing school of thought that the practice of continually chlorinating tap water is not without risk to human health.

Ironically, those risks come into existence with the bringing together of chlorine and water particles. Chlorine can react with the microscopic organisms present in tap water, which leads to the formation of a carcinogenic substance called trihalomethanes.

What Are Trihalomethanes?

Elevated levels of trihalomethanes (THMs) – including chloroform – are linked to serious illnesses, including:

Bladder cancer
Rectal and colon cancer
Adverse developmental effects
Complications during pregnancy.

Is Food Cooked in Chlorinated Water Safe to Eat?

Generally speaking, yes. If the chlorine taste doesn’t bother you, then the amount of chlorine you ingest through food is likely to be within safe limits.

However, there are exceptions. A notable one is pasta cooked in boiling, chlorinated water that has been seasoned with iodized salt (salt to which a form of iodine has been added, a widespread practice). This simple, everyday cooking process can trigger the formation of ‘iodinated disinfection byproducts’ (iodo-DBPs). Long-term exposure to these compounds is linked to various forms of cancer.

How To Remove the Taste of Chlorine from Your Water

Tricky, isn’t it? Chlorine is added to water to kill viruses but ends up reacting with the water it’s supposed to be cleaning up and introduces a new risk factor simply by being there.

And of course, aside from all of that, Chlorine tastes really bad. Who wants to drink something that smells like that?

Boiling water for a length of time will remove the majority of ‘free’ chlorine, but it will not remove chlorine that has combined with other chemicals in the water. It will also not remove chloramine. It’s also worth bearing in mind that when you boil water, you reduce its quantity. Any other toxic contaminants in the water that cannot be removed by boiling will therefore become more concentrated.

The answer is to remove the chlorine present in your water. So, what’s the best way to do that?

Jug Filters

Most jug filters will take away the taste of chlorine, but of course, chlorine doesn’t exist in isolation: there are any number of unwanted and potentially dangerous toxins in your water, and jug filters are very rarely equipped to tackle them.

Distillation & Reverse Osmosis

Distillation and reverse osmosis will remove chlorine and pretty much every other contaminant in your water, but there’s a heavy price to pay here. Both methods of cleaning up water strip every mineral from the water, leaving it ‘dead’ and unstable. Fine for a short-term fix, but definitely not a long-term drinking water solution.

Water Ionizer

A Tyent water ionizer works by filtering and ionizing the water from your tap. Your regular water flows into the water ionizer unit, where it is cleaned by our award-winning filters, before flowing over and around powerful, electrically charged plates. This process is called ionization.

Ionization splits the water into two streams – acidic and alkaline. You cannot drink acidic water, but it is an essential item around the home, and also as a beauty product. Tyent alkaline water, however, tastes delicious! It is infused with minerals and naturally occurring molecular hydrogen, which energizes every cell in your body, while you hydrate!

Tyent ACE-13 Water Ionizer Voted the Best Machine of 2023

Choosing Tyent when you buy a water ionizer just got even easier! WaterFilterCast, the well-established hub of industry experts and clean water specialists just voted the Tyent ACE-13 Water Ionizer the best ionizer machine of 2023.

Should You Drink Water Before Bed?

Simple question: should you drink a glass of water before going to bed? The answer is yes. There are several benefits to drinking water before turning in- we’ve listed four key ones here for a quick guide to getting a great night’s sleep!

Should you drink water before bed

Drinking Water Before Bed Helps Your Body Detox

Your body needs enough water to fuel the various metabolic processes going on in your body, even while you’re sleeping. If you don’t drink enough water, then you risk hindering your body’s ability to expel metabolic waste from your body.

Nighttime is when your body carries out a whole bunch of essential jobs to keep you healthy. Drinking a little water before bed helps your body to function efficiently while you get some sleep.

Drinking Water Before Bed Helps You to Sleep Better

A glass of water before you turn in might just help you to sleep more deeply. Water helps to keep the tissues of your throat and nasal passages hydrated – both important for deep sleep. The reason for this is that both snoring and thirst can cause you to wake up, interrupting your night’s sleep.

Linked to your metabolism again, if your body is working overtime trying to digest food without enough water, then your heart rate will increase slightly, making sleep harder to slip into.

Drinking Water Before Bed Helps Your Body Maintain the Right Temperature

Your internal body clock and Circadian Rhythm are key to how well you sleep. Hydration plays a very important part in maintaining both.

As you get tired before bed and sleep approaches, your body naturally cools down a little. When your body is hydrated, your body temperature can remain stable, doing what it needs to do to keep your core temperature at the right level for sleep.

Drinking Water Before Bed Can Help You Feel Happier

All the vital hormonal activity in your body is regulated, in part, by hydration. The two hormones that control anxiety levels and help to balance how you feel in general are serotonin and dopamine. Both of these mood-linked hormones can be disrupted by a lack of water. Staying hydrated helps your hormonal activity to achieve the perfect balance, which helps you to feel better, and sleep better.

Why You Should Drink Tyent Water Before Bed

All the benefits of drinking a glass of water before sleep are amplified when that water is Tyent Alkaline Water. Here are three key reasons why:

Tyent Alkaline Water is more hydrating than regular water, so you need less of it to stay hydrated throughout the night, which means fewer bathroom trips!
Tyent Alkaline Water is packed with natural antioxidants to help your body fend off damaging free radical activity, all while you sleep!
Tyent Water also contains a range of vital minerals that your body needs to thrive. The wee hours are the perfect time for your body to absorb them and direct the essential minerals to where they’re needed most.

Why Alkaline Water?

Dr. Lori Shemek is back again to share her tips for Why Alkaline Water. Dr. Lori is the best-selling author of books such as The Ketogenic Key, Fire Up Your Fat Burn and Beginner’s Guide to Intermittent Fasting. Dr. Lori is a certified nutritional consultant and weight loss expert who spreads awareness of the negative effects of inflammation.

Why Alkaline Water

Water is essential for our body’s survival and optimal functioning. It keeps us hydrated, aids digestion, regulates body temperature, and carries nutrients and oxygen to cells. However, not all water is created equal. Alkaline water, which has a higher pH level than regular tap water, has been gaining popularity in recent years. Advocates claim that drinking alkaline water can offer a range of health benefits, including better hydration. In this article, we will explore the importance of hydrating with alkaline water.

What is Alkaline Water?

Alkaline water has a pH level greater than 7, which means it is less acidic than tap water. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Tap water typically has a pH level of 7, whereas alkaline water can have a pH level of 8 or higher. The higher pH level of alkaline water is due to the presence of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Why is Hydration Important?

Before we discuss the benefits of hydrating with alkaline water, let’s first understand why hydration is important. Our body is made up of approximately 60% water, and every system in our body relies on water to function correctly. Water helps regulate body temperature, flushes out toxins, lubricates joints, and aids digestion. Proper hydration also supports healthy skin and helps maintain normal bowel movements.

When we don’t drink enough water, we can become dehydrated, which can lead to a range of health issues. Symptoms of dehydration include fatigue, dizziness, dry mouth, and headaches. In severe cases, dehydration can lead to heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and even death.

Benefits of Hydrating with Alkaline Water

1. Better Hydration

One of the main benefits of drinking alkaline water is better hydration. The minerals present in alkaline water can help increase the absorption of water by our body. When we drink regular tap water, it passes through our body quickly, and we may not absorb all the water we drink. This can lead to dehydration, even if we are drinking enough water.

Alkaline water, on the other hand, is absorbed more slowly by our body, allowing us to stay hydrated for longer. Studies have shown that drinking alkaline water can lead to better hydration levels and improved athletic performance.

2. May Help Neutralize Acid in the Body

Another benefit of drinking alkaline water is that it may help neutralize acid in the body. When we consume acidic foods and drinks, such as coffee, alcohol, and processed foods, our body’s pH level can become imbalanced, leading to health issues such as acid reflux, inflammation, and even cancer.

Drinking alkaline water can help neutralize the acid in our body, promoting a more alkaline environment. While research on the benefits of alkaline water on the body’s pH level is limited, some studies have shown that drinking alkaline water can help reduce acid reflux symptoms.

3. May Improve Bone Health

Drinking alkaline water may also have benefits for bone health. Alkaline water contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which are essential for strong bones. Studies have shown that drinking alkaline water can help increase bone density, especially in postmenopausal women.

4. May Improve Digestive Health

The minerals present in alkaline water may also have benefits for digestive health. Magnesium, for example, can help relax the muscles in our digestive system, reducing symptoms of constipation and bloating. Calcium can also aid digestion by neutralizing stomach acid.

5. May Boost Immune System

Lastly, drinking alkaline water may boost our immune system. The minerals present in alkaline water can help support our immune system’s functioning by aiding the production of white blood cells

Are 15 Plates REALLY Worth It? (Not Really..)

At Tyent Water Ionizers, we’ve always talked about the importance of powerful plates – and having enough of them to deliver awesome performance. Our incredible Solid/Mesh Hybrid Plates are constructed from titanium and dipped multiple times in pure platinum. There’s nothing on the market to beat them.

Are 15-Plate Water Ionizers Any Good?

So, the news that 15-plate water ionizers were finding their way to the market was certainly interesting! Tyent’s position at the forefront of the water ionizer industry means that we’re always excited to see new concepts and ideas emerging, and this one had arrived with a certain amount of hype. But 15 plates? Are 15 plates really worth it? Naturally, we had to find out!

Water Ionizer Plates: Three Things You Cannot Ignore!

When it comes to water ionizer plates, there are a few non-negotiable truths. No matter how many plates are inside a water ionizer, the following three points are the ones to watch when considering which machine to buy:

What is the plate constructed from?
What is the surface area of the individual plate?
Is it a solid plate, a mesh plate, or solid/mesh hybrid design?

The materials used in the construction of water ionizer plates are of utmost importance. A water ionizer is an investment buy. These plates must last many years and maintain the same performance in 10- or 20 years’ time as the day you bought your water ionizer.

Super Strong Plates

As mentioned above, Tyent plates are made from the most durable construction materials possible – titanium and platinum. Anything less than this is already inferior. These two materials combined create the best possible plate for strength and durability.

The Importance of Surface Area

Surface area is another key point. More surface area means more electrolysis happening inside the water ionizer. That’s why size matters with plates.

Are Your Plates Solid, Mesh or Hybrid?

This leads us neatly on to the type of plate – solid, mesh or hybrid?

Some water ionizer companies stick with solid plates because they’re stronger. However, solid plates have less available surface area for electrolysis. Other companies use mesh-type plates to create more surface area, but this means compromising on strength. Mesh plates are weaker and less durable than solid plates; while solid plates are stronger but have reduced surface area.

The best type of plate is a solid/mesh hybrid plate. These are engineered to have greater surface area, while maintaining the integrity and strength of a solid plate. Water ionizer plates are integral to the machine. Generally, the size, quality and construction of the individual plates and NOT the number of them are key to exceptional performance.

Is Your Kitchen Big Enough for 15 Plates?

Let’s look at the reality of a water ionizer machine with 15 plates. Broadly speaking, these machines are likely to be much bigger than a machine with 13 plates or less. To house the plates, the water ionizers are likely to be outsized and look unwieldy and bulky in the average kitchen. Not a dealbreaker, but something to bear in mind.

Price –v- Value for Money

What is a dealbreaker when it comes to buying a water ionizer? For most people, it will be a combination of price and value for money.

The 15-plate machines push the envelope when it comes to price. These big beasts are pricey. But are they worth every cent? If you’re paying a premium for those 15 plates, is it truly worth it?

Well, let’s look at the performance data. In tests, the 15-plate machine delivered alkaline water in the range of 1.7 pH to 12.2 pH. In the same tests, the Tyent ACE-13 produced an alkaline water range of 1.7 pH -12.5 pH.

ORP & Filtration

What about Oxygen Reduction Potential (ORP)? This is a key aspect of ionized water – antioxidants. ORP is the potency, or sheer strength of the antioxidants in the water to neutralize damaging free radicals. ORP is measured in negative values: the greater the negative -ORP value, the more potent the antioxidant potential of your water.

With that quick reminder, let’s look again at the test results of a 15-plate machine – a respectable maximum of -1005 ORP. The same test with the 13-plate Tyent ACE-13 produces an ORP level of up to –1150.

What about filtration? Let’s face it, that’s one other essential feature of a water ionizer. For a machine that is more expensive than most other water ionizers on sale today, the 15-plate models only contain one filter. At this price bracket, that’s not enough. 2 filters are standard when you’re spending this much money – clean, contaminant-free water is everything.

Great or Gimmick?

15 plates sure is a lot, but does the number of plates make any appreciable difference once you get past the 13-plate point?

There is a certain logic in assuming that the more plates a company piles into its water ionizer machines, the better that machine must be. To an extent, that’s correct, but there is a tipping point – the point at which the number of plates becomes a gimmick, rather than a useful, productive part of the water ionization process.

The other thing to remember is that the number of plates a water ionizer contains is only part of the equation. As with so many things, two main points apply: quality matters, and the devil is in the detail.

The Conclusion: Are 15 Plates Worth It?

We’re not saying that 15-plate water ionizers have no place on the market. If your kitchen (and budget!) are big enough, they can look pretty good.

But the question we started with remains. Are they worth it?

The answer has to be no. In a sense, it’s rather like the law of diminishing returns. You pay more, but you’re no longer receiving any extra benefit for the additional cost.

A Tyent 13-plate (or even fewer) water ionizer, in which the plates are solid/mesh hybrid type; constructed from titanium and platinum and are large and strong, delivers a performance that matches and then exceeds the performance of the 15-plate model. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the 15-plate version, it’s just not worth paying more for.

It’s possible that we’ll see more of this kind of thing – water ionizer gimmicks that grab an industry headline or two – but until there’s any actual, measurable benefit for the customer, our advice is to scroll on by.

Why Am I Thirsty After Drinking Water?

There are a number of reasons why you might still feel thirsty after drinking water. In this article, we’re going to cover the ones related to the type of water you’re drinking. However, please be aware that some medical conditions, pregnancy and types of medication can make you feel unusually thirsty, even after drinking water, so please seek the advice of your doctor in those instances.

Thirsty After Drinking Water

Why is Your Water Making You Thirsty?

So, why are you still thirsty after drinking water? How can that make sense? Water is hydration, and you’ve just had a glass of it, so what gives?

It’s to do with the type of water you drink. The truth is that some types of water are more hydrating than others.

Reverse Osmosis & Distilled Water = Dead Water

For example, reverse osmosis water and distilled water are often referred to as ‘dead water.’ The reason for this is also the selling point of the water – both types of water are stripped of every particle and contaminant in the liquid. However, neither of the respective methods of filtering out the bad stuff are able to prevent the loss of minerals in the water.

Reverse osmosis water is created by forcing water through a membrane; distilled water is created using – no surprises here – distillation. Both methods are very efficient at removing everything from the water. When we say everything, we mean it. Reverse osmosis and distilled water are both ‘dead’ because the process removes every single mineral and electrolyte from the water.

Yes, but it’s still water, so it must hydrate you, right?

Electrolytes in Water

Well, dead water is still a wet substance, and so there will be a sensation of quenching your thirst, but hydration is more complex than ‘just’ drinking water. Water without electrolytes in it – reverse osmosis and distilled water – cannot properly hydrate your body.

Electrolytes are dissolved minerals that do a series of vital jobs. Their essential functions include regulating temperature, balancing pH levels, regulating muscles and your nervous system – and keeping you hydrated.

That’s right: electrolytes are essential for hydration. They aren’t actually doing the hydrating bit themselves – electrolytes facilitate and regulate hydration in your body, directing water to where it’s needed most. Without them, your body isn’t properly hydrated, and that’s why you still feel thirsty after drinking ‘dead’ water.

What About Tap Water?

Tap water usually contains electrolytes, but as we all now know, it can also contain many other things that are harmful to your health. Contamination of tap water is rife and barely out of the news – check out what’s in your water with our FREE Water Report.

Tyent Alkaline Hydrogen Water is the opposite of ‘dead water.’ It is rich in vital minerals, electrolytes and dissolved hydrogen. Top athletes drink Tyent Water because of its superior powers of hydration and amazing taste!

Alkaline Water and Antioxidants

Antioxidants are big news! Learn more about how antioxidants and alkaline water work together to help you achieve a healthier, stronger body!

Alkaline Water and Antioxidants

What Are Antioxidants?

Why You Need Alkaline Water

Who Is Dr. Alvin Stein?

Antioxidants and Their Benefits

What Alkaline Water and Antioxidants Do to Your Body

What Are Antioxidants?

We hear about antioxidants all the time. Most of us have got the general idea that antioxidants are good for us, but how much do you really know about these amazing molecules?

What are antioxidants and why do we need them in order to be healthy?

The basic definition is that antioxidants are molecules that prevent other molecules from oxidizing. They inhibit the process of oxidization – the chemical reaction that triggers the formation of free radicals.

These molecules – the harmful free radicals – wreak havoc on whatever they come into contact with – such as the cell walls in your body.

Let’s jump back to oxidation, because it’s important. Oxidation is the process in which an oxidizing substance – usually oxygen – causes a chemical change in another substance.

How does this look in everyday life? Two good examples are apples and old cars!

If you cut open an apple and leave it on the plate for a few minutes, it begins to turn brown. What has happened to cause this? Quite simply, apples contain a compound called polyphenol. When oxygen comes into contact with this enzyme, the polyphenols are converted into an iron-rich compound called melanin. This process rapidly gives a cut apple that familiar brown appearance.

What about cars? Have you ever seen an old rusted-out truck sitting abandoned somewhere, its glory days long behind it? It’s the same process – oxidation. Rust is formed when oxygen reacts with iron, although it generally needs some help from water. However, ‘dry corrosion’ – when metal and oxygen react in the absence of liquid – is still a form of oxidation, but somewhat slower.

So that’s apples and cars, but what about us? What does oxidation do to your body?

Why You Need Alkaline Water

The damage caused by free radicals, and the processes and reactions that are unleashed as a result of a surfeit of free radicals and not enough antioxidants, is a kind of blueprint for many of the health problems we face today.

The human body needs the right pH balance. It’s vital for health. The ‘right’ pH is slightly alkaline 7.35 to 7.45. The problem is that our modern diet is pretty acidic. Processed foods, preserved meat, preservatives and so on form the backbone of convenience foods. All of these foods – along with alcohol, sodas and sweetened beverages – are acidifying. They cause your body to become more acidic.

Here’s the thing: an acidic environment is what you want to avoid. An alkaline environment is what you want to create. Remember that your body thrives at slight alkalinity.

One of the best ways to do that and to protect your health from this constant free radical assault is to make sure you are stocked up on foods that are high in antioxidants and drink water that is pure and overflowing with them. Is that possible?

It sure is – Tyent Alkaline Water is one of the fastest and most delicious ways to introduce an abundance of potent antioxidants into your body. Antioxidants fight free radicals and win!

Dark chocolate
Sweet potatoes
Carrots
Collard greens
Asparagus
Kale
Goji berries
Soft fruit berries – particularly strawberries, raspberries and blueberries
Pecans
Artichokes

It’s easy to get more antioxidant-rich foods into your diet: a handful of berries in your morning oatmeal, a helping of sweet potato with your evening meal and a couple of squares of dark chocolate and a few pecans as an afternoon snack. Add a few glasses of delicious Tyent Water, and you’ll start feeling the difference in no time!

Who Is Dr. Alvin Stein?

What does the medical establishment think about Tyent Water?

“The beauty of Tyent Water is that it penetrates into the cells and hydrates the cells at the cellular level.” -Dr. Alvin Stein

Alvin Stein is an inspiring individual. He is a renowned doctor, legendary surgeon and a pioneer who has practiced medicine for over fifty years.

In 2008, he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award. Additionally, he is a respected authority on clinical matters concerning detoxification, nutrition, and other areas of complementary and alternative medicine. The goal of this branch of medicine? To consider the root cause of ill health and treat pain without surgery and harmful medications.

Dr. Stein stresses the importance of introducing antioxidants into the body. He also explains why and how Tyent water can play an important role in raising alkaline levels in the body, while simultaneously having a neutralizing effect on acid.

“The body works very hard to keep the blood at a slightly alkaline level of 7.365…that’s the ideal level. But the tissues are absorbing all of these oxidizing processes and becoming acidic.

We want to bring the body out of acidity and into alkalinity. When we do this, we have a healthy body where cancer can’t grow, deterioration of the body doesn’t occur and the body can detoxify more easily when it is alkaline.”

“The hydration level of the cells is so necessary for all of the metabolic processes. The beauty of Tyent Water is that it penetrates into the cells and hydrates the cells at the cellular level.”

Antioxidants and Their Benefits

Science has established that dangerous, acidic oxidants cannot thrive in an alkaline environment. In fact, antioxidants prevent damaging free radicals from forming, while targeting and neutralizing existing free radicals.

When you eat and drink powerful fresh antioxidants every day, it’s the end of the road for free radicals having the upper hand in your body.

The combination of antioxidants and alkaline water means that you are supporting a healthier, stronger body. Antioxidants are like the proverbial knights on a white steed, fighting off free radicals. Tyent Alkaline Water delivers a slew of them in every glass, helping to increase alkalinity and decrease acidity in the body.

It’s easy to maximize the benefits of the power of two: start eating antioxidant-rich foods and switch your water for Tyent Alkaline Water!

Are You Drinking Water with POOP?!

Don’t shoot the messenger, but the answer is a definite maybe.

Among the cocktail of contaminants currently flowing through America’s waterways, is fecal pollution. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has estimated that municipal water contains around 0.3 grams of poop per person, every day. In a city of millions of people, that’s a lot of poop.

POOP In Your Water

Animal Waste in the Groundwater

It’s not just human sewage either – the fecal matter of livestock and other animals ends up in the groundwater as well. Waterways near large cattle or hog farms and dairies can be more heavily polluted than others.

But how does poop end up in tap water?

There’s Raw Sewage in the Water

It’s a combination of factors, with water infrastructure one of the central problems. The Trump administration’s rollback of environmental rules about dumping waste, and the removal of clean-water protections meant far more raw sewage being discharged into rivers. Once it’s in there, it’s hard to get rid of.

There are several issues, among them – old-style sewer systems that carry both sewage and rainwater are prone to overflowing in heavy storms. Contaminated groundwater will end up in rivers and streams. Cracked underground pipes let in pollutants. Growing populations, inadequate treatment facilities… the outcome? Poop in your water. It’s where we are now.

Poop in the Water – How Bad Is It for Your Health?

The fecal-oral route is associated with an assortment of diseases, including:

coli
Salmonella
Adenovirus
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis E
Polio
Cholera

Pretty unpleasant, right?

Why Bottled Water Isn’t the Answer

The thought of the water that you drink, cook with and bathe in containing poop is enough to make you turn to bottled water, but don’t! Bottled water can turn out to be tap water with a fancy label, and anyway, a double dose of microplastics isn’t exactly tempting either!

So that’s the bad news. The good news is that you can still use your tap water, and drink clean, safe water. How? By installing a water ionizer.
