I bought this tester to see how my water was doing in my pitcher.

Here is what I wrote about my pitcher form Invigorated Living.
"Ok where do I start. Let's start at the beginning. My wife was excited about getting some water system for our house and she has started drinking the PH water from our local store by the gallon. So she asked the Costco rep to visit us and they talked about a water softener and an RO system. well that was going to cost us about $3600.00 and this system would include an additional mineral filter as well. I almost fell out of my seat and decided to do some homework. My first though was maybe we do not need a water softener especially since during my investigation I ended up learning about our local water company and that they are required to provide an annual report on the quality of their water we get to the house. I could go into great detail as to what I learned but the bottom line is my local water is actually considered soft water according to the federal requirements that they published on this report. PH was 8.5 and the TDS was great along with very low fluoride and since I have a filter on my refrigerator that removes chlorine and even more TDS and the remaining fluoride I was thinking I was good, but was I?
I learned more about my water when I learned that if you have a higher PH 9-10 and your ORP is negative -200 mv to -400 mv that this was actually water that the Japanese considers medical water that helps to cure many things for centuries. Please do some searching and you will see what I mean. After learning this, I did some searching for systems that talked about PH and ORP narrowing the field down quite a bit. Amazon was a lot of help and the only system that was a pitcher that had great reviews was the Invigorated Living Alkaline Water Pitcher. I did find a nice RO system that would go under the counter with a fauset like other RO systems which provided a lot more information about water with these properties. Here is a link to a nice system [...] and its cost is about $800.00. They do not sell their systems on Amazon but I even went as far as calling them to learn more about their systems. The dollar amount was the deciding factor but not having to fill a picture sure sound good now. Anyway I have had two pictures now for almost 2 months. I have 15 days left of my first filters and have provided photos of the PH and ORP reading of both my tap water and the water from the picture. I think my photos came out rotated wrong but I think you can see for you self what I got. As I said my city water started out at 8.5 ph and it is well over 9.5 looking like 10ph. The ORP from my city water is + 105mv and from the pitcher I am still getting -250mv when I first fill the pitcher and 24 hours later it remains -202mv. Hope this information helps. I did calibrate my ORP meter and the PH drops solution is from Invigorated Living. "

I am only adding the pictures of my test of the PH if you want to see my review that show the picture of the ORP. Please search for my review on the pitcher.

Received my order today and tested both my well water, and the bottled water we pay for. Discovered both are acidic, but sadly my well water is better. Uggg. Works great and is super easy. Added a little Baking soda to the water and sure enough it tested as Alkaline. Came in clean packaging with instructions.

No reason to doubt the color resulting from using the drops

Very easy to use. gave instant results. We were shocked that our water treatment apparatus was clearing some impurities but making an already very alkaline tap water into quite acidic water. Glad we checked!

This opened my eyes to the bad water I was buying. I read a book years ago on the bad quality of bottled water, but time dulled my memory about it. I saw some clips on YouTube about these kits, and saw 2 documentaries on the quality of tap water vs bottled water. I bought this product to see for myself, and low and behold.....my tap water is better (from a pH perspective) than most of the bottled waters I used to buy (Poland Springs, Deer Park, and yes...my COSTCO water). I don't drink AquaFina because everyone knows it's bad, but I tested anyway...and it was.

In other words, the product works well and hopefully will convince you to save some money and help the environment.

PS - I gave 3 stars for easy to read because the writing instructions are small...if over 40 get the reading glasses out!
