Review on The Alkaline Water Pitcher - 3.5L, Free Filter & 7-Stage Filtration for pH Increase & Purification by Darlene Malone

I have been using this jug for 2 days and I have a score of 8.88. Chicago tap water gives me 7.23 as soon as I turn on the faucet, but after running the water for 4-5 minutes it can give me anywhere from 7.45 to 7.53 ph. So far I have the highest ph of 8.93 and the lowest of 8.54, but the average ph I have is 8.88 ph after filtering through this jug. What I did before use: I completely submerged the filter cartridge in water for 30 minutes and then rinsed it under running water for another 3 minutes. Good pitcher. as long as I'm happy, crisp clear water, odorless and delicious.
