ERW can have a pH between 8.5 and 10.0. That’s slightly more alkaline than your blood, which sits at a cozy 7.4. Your body is brilliant at regulating its own pH, so the water isn’t “alkalizing you,” but it may help buffer stomach acid after a heavy meal.
Another nerdy gem: The machine also produces “strong acidic water” with a pH of 2.5. In Japan, they use that to sanitize cutting boards and wash vegetables. One device, two jobs—like a Swiss Army knife for your kitchen.
