Why pH 8.5 Is the Sweet Spot for Your Health
Most Toronto tap water sits at a slightly acidic to neutral pH of 6.5–7.5. While that’s within regulated limits, it’s not optimal for your body — which functions best in a mildly alkaline environment. Pürcan’s systems deliver water at a consistent 8.5 pH, naturally restored through mineral remineralization after filtration.
Natural Alkalinity, Not Chemical
Many alkaline waters use chemical processes or plastic-heavy ionizers. Pürcan does it differently — we remineralize water with calcium, magnesium, and potassium through a natural mineral cartridge, the same way mountain springs produce alkaline water. No electricity. No chemicals. Just pure mineral balance.
What Alkaline Water Does for Your Body
- Supports healthy hydration — alkaline water is more bioavailable, absorbed by cells more easily
- Balances body acidity — modern diets trend acidic; alkaline water helps counteract that
- Restores essential minerals — calcium, magnesium, and potassium added back after filtration
- Tastes noticeably smoother — cleaner, silkier taste than tap or bottle water
- Supports bone health — alkaline minerals are linked to improved bone mineral density
How It Works in Our Systems
After our reverse osmosis membrane removes 99.99% of contaminants, water passes through a mineral restoration cartridge. This adds back Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and K⁺ at optimal ratios — naturally raising pH to 8.5+. The result: clean, mineral-rich, naturally alkaline water at every tap in your home, 24/7.
