alkaline water is water with a pH above 7; the term does not provide information about alkalinity, mineral composition or health quality.

What does alkaline water mean in practice?

A pH above 7 may result from natural alkalinity, the addition of minerals, or electrolysis, and each method produces a different composition.

When does it matter?

High pH alone does not indicate better quality and may be unstable in water with low buffer capacity.

Which solutions are related to it?

The pH is assessed together with the alkalinity, mineral composition and intended use, avoiding uncontrolled increase of the pH.
