Meet “raw” water—ludicrously priced unfiltered water with random bacteria
With pricing as high as $6 per gallon, company claims health benefits without data.
Real Water Inc. still not cooperating fully with outbreak team; more people sick
The FDA is doubling down on its warnings against Real Water Inc. brand bottled water as an outbreak of non-viral hepatitis traced to the water continues
Or maybe don't.

In times of travel restrictions and global pandemic, get that Africa experience right from your home.

You are mistaken.
The original thread was about "raw" water, with its random microbes and nutrients and thus the occasional chance of making you sick. It was dirt cheap to make though: take random water, bottle, ship it.
This thread is about the purified and alkalic water sold as "Real Water". It actually takes energy to distill or filter, and then these jokers add extra potassium bicarbonate "to improve hydration".
Real Water founder apologizes after drink is linked to liver failure
The founder of bottled-water maker Real Water has publicly apologized after five kids who drank its product came down with liver failure. Real Water president Brent Jones issued the mea culpa amid...
It seems that kids drank it and got an overdose of those extra minerals.(EDIT: Actually the FDA doesn't seem to know yet. Since it's occurred to people around Las Vegas it could still be a one-time contamination of some batch)In other words: in comparing fads it is more like radium 2.0, guaranteed to change your health!

I'm still not convinced. And I've heard good things about D2O. Apparently it has a non-caloric sweet taste.

At least they aren't trying to sell a machine that is advertised to be able to change the bond angles of the water molecules to provide various health benefits.

I've got a machine that can do that already.

@Placeholder said in If raw water isn't for you, try some "real" water:
change the bond angles
My first device I call the Magnetronismic Miasmator. It uses a modified WWII radar gun to repeatedly and rapidly alter the bond angles until the water reaches a higher energy state. Bahahahahahaha!
The second contraption, I refer to currently as Project R. Via a localized reverse-entropic effect, the R device causes a bond angle shift to that characteristic of tetrahedral carbon. This reduces the density of the water to where it will float... in water!

@dkf Some Bond angles are more lethal than others, while others are more suitably discussed in the lifestyle thread

The lifestyle thread could accommodate discussion of either of cyclohexa- 1,3,5 or 2,4,6 -triene, but not of benzene.

benzene
We have to be careful of benzene round here. It tends to catch fire and delete the forums.

That only happened once... Well, twice... Wait.

This water isn't safe to drink, so you can't sell it, but we'll continue pumping it into your homes for
freea nominal utility charge.

(no I didn't RTFA) It was the tap for Recycled Water (for irrigation), right?

The complaint states that while they marketed their "Re2al Water Drinking Water" and Re2al Alkalized Water" as healthy alternatives to tap water, their products were simply tap water treated with various chemicals, which violates good manufacturing practices, food safety standards and hazard prevention measures.And now you know just as much as I do!

“Real Water” that poisoned dozens contained chemical from rocket fuel
An expert witness testified hydrazine was likely formed during an electrolysis process.
"These people were outrageous," Kemp said. There was "no safety testing, no analysis of the product to see what was in it." He said that the person who developed the water treatment process for Real Water bought the titanium tubes "from some Russian guy in the 80s" and spent four to five months making alkaline waters in his garage, working until he had a formula that didn't make him vomit or have diarrhea.
