Westside Water Store Weekly Update 🍃 + Minerals in the water

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone had a great week and stayed hydrated.  Yesterday was Earth Day, hoping everyone did find time to go outside, take a break from their work week and enjoy the sunny second half of Earth Day.   I enjoyed seeing everyone that came through the store on Wednesday and shared their day's adventures with me.

I want to take a moment this week to talk a little more about the water you’re drinking from the Westside Water Store; because I get a great question all the time: “Do you add minerals to your water?”

The answer is no, we don’t add anything to the water.  Our store filter is not reverse osmosis.  The minerals in our water we serve to you, our customers, are naturally occurring, coming straight from the source. These include calcium, magnesium, and potassium, the same minerals your body already recognizes.

That brings me to one of the waters many of you come in for: our alkaline water. Our alkaline water has a higher pH than regular drinking water, typically between 8 and 9. But what really matters is how it gets there. We don’t use chemical additives or artificial processes to raise the pH. Instead, it’s those naturally occurring minerals that create that balance. 

And those minerals do more than just affect pH: They may help your body retain calcium more efficiently, support bone density, and improve hydration at a cellular level compared to neutral water. The store filtration system we use is not magic; its modern technology working on the modern water concerns we are hearing and reading about.  It’s the same point of entry for the whole house system we install in homes around the community.  We want minerals in our water and we don’t want various byproducts in our water.

If you haven’t tried our alkaline water yet, I invite you to come in and experience it for yourself. A lot of our regular customers notice the difference, and I always enjoy hearing your feedback.
