Questions & Answers
Yes, and there are those who claim the stones are useless. The reason it doesn't work for them is that they filter the water after it has become alkaline, such as with a gravity fed filter like Berkeley, which removes the minerals required for alkalinity as the water passes through the filters, resulting in a lower pH. Before adding the water to the stones, it should be filtered.
If you've had them for at least two years, you can keep them. If you're unsure about what to do, go to the Santevia Water Systems Mineral Stones website.
All water filtration products in California are labeled as posing a risk of lead poisoning under Prop 65. These mineral stones, known as Maifan stones or Bakuhanseki, contain naturally occurring traces of lead (no more than what would be found in anything mined from the ground).
Hello,br>br>No, the Santevia Mineral Stones are a combination of naturally mined Maifan Stones (grey) and a proprietary mineral blend fired into a ceramic ball (white).

I've been reading reviews about how much people like these stones and how they improve the taste of their water, and so on. As a result, I made the decision to purchase it and put it to the test. br>br>I have a Berkey Imperial filter that produces great tasting water, and this is the water I use as my base line. br>br>Before my test, I boiled the rocks according to the manufacturer's instructions. br>br>I had four glasses of water, all from the same batch of Berkey filtration, that had been saturated for about eight hours. br>1 with nothing so that I could use it as a baseline. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>b The PH level did not change. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>b I noticed a slight increase in PH, possibly by 0. 1 PHbr>1 PHbr>1 PHbr>1 PHbr>1 PHbr I noticed a 1% increase. 5 PH. br>br>After I completed this test, I took the rocks and white balls to work, where we have a highly sophisticated Thermo Scientific XRF Gun. This xray machine costs $30,000 to buy. This is an X-ray of the X-ray of the X-ray A ray gun that shoots Xrays at metals and/or rocks, depending on the model you purchase, and then displays the elements of the material you shot. br>br>Our gun is for metals, but it contains almost all of the elements on the periodic table, with the exception of a few. br>There are two types of filters on the gun: one heavy and one light. The heavy filter is used to find heavy elements, while the light filter is used to find lighter elements. Heavy is found in the first 5 seconds of shooting, and the light filter turns on after that for as long as you keep the trigger depressed. br>To get a good and fairly accurate reading, I held each mineral for about 35 seconds each. /- is a special character that can be used to indicate that something isn' of 2%. The white ball results (36 seconds trigger hold) are as follows:br>br>
Al:

S 75%br>Fe: 75%br>Fe: 75%br>Fe: 75%br 5%
Zn: 1%
Zr: 2%
Nb: 05%

No traces of copper , magnesium , and manganese Zinc and iron levels are both extremely low. Calcium, sodium, and potassium are all symbols that I am unable to read. This isn't to say they aren't present; it just means that based on what the Gun sees, I don't feel comfortable putting these elements into my body. They may increase the PH of the water, but the minerals detected by our XRF gun are not beneficial. br>br>Results from the mineral rock (35-second trigger hold):
Al:
Si:
Si: 14%
Fe: 81%
Zr: 09%
Again, no copper, magnesium, manganese, or zinc. Cannot read calcium, potassium, or sodium.
If you add up the percentages you will see that it does not equal 10 This is due to the fact that the gun is unable to read all of the Elements contained within the rocks. So, while this mineral rock may contain calcium, potassium, and sodium, I can assure you that copper, magnesium, and manganese are not present. Conclusion. br>br> These stones are a ruse and do not function. This is a rip-off. They work in terms of raising the PH level, but not in terms of raising the level with healthy beneficial minerals, in my opinion. My gun picked up zinc and iron, so there may be trace amounts of healthy minerals. br>br>I would advise anyone who is currently using these rocks to stop. They are not sanitary or safe to eat, in my opinion. I'm not going to use them in my Berkey filter, or any other filtration system, for that matter. br>br>I hope this review has been helpful and that you make the best decision for your health by avoiding this. br>br>Although I am not a doctor or a scientist, I am fascinated by science and health, and I am fortunate to have access to some incredible technology. These findings are based on my own personal experience with the santevia mineral stones that I bought. br>br>Thank you for taking the time to read this, and may God bless you.
In terms of alkalinity, the stones are garbage, and believe me, I've boiled, frozen, and tried everything I could to raise the Ph. Santevia maintains her position of number seven. Regardless of the circumstances, I'll give it an 8. That said, unless I'm doing a detox 7, I'm not going to do it. 5 is fine, the water is crisp and full of minerals, and as a trainer, my clients always raid my water before and after each session, so it's BS on alkalinity, and I sure wish they'd fix it since I've been a customer since 2008, BUT as far as healthy good tasting water and bang for the buck, you can't go wrong with my gravity home system, which has been supplying myself, a 300 pound bodybuilder who drinks 3 gallons When I'm not drinking Santevia, 5 water for a detox and a day's worth of water costs me around $9. Oh, and the new filter water bottle fillers with the UV light that are now in most gyms, we'll when it's all there is it's definitely a step up on the water fountain, but every now and then I'll bring some home and not give it to the dogs, and then hours later I'll grab it after having switched back to my water, and the chemical taste is so strong I usually spit it out, so you know the new plastic reducing water bottle fillers in the gym are.
Don't be fooled by the publicity. I had hoped that these rocks would do the trick, but they didn't. Don't waste your money; instead, go through the negative reviews first.
We bought mineral stones to put in the bottom of our berkey so that the minerals that are removed during the filtration process can be added back to the water. What we like about them: They come in a not of about 160. br>What we don't like about them: They don't come in a not of about 160.
1. They enrich your water with calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc, and other beneficial minerals. These minerals are required for the proper functioning of your body. br>2. They aid in the alkalinization of your water. The advantages of having an alkaline body are numerous. Cancer will not be able to grow or survive in your body!
3. They're good for two years. 3 years! They can last up to three years depending on how much water you drink.
4. Simple steps to follow. It's incredibly easy to read and understand. Simply rinse the stones, allow them to dry naturally, and then place them in the bottom of your water filtration system. The berkley, in my case.
5. It has no effect on the flavor of your water. br>Because we haven't noticed a difference in taste, we get all of the additional benefits without having to change the taste of the water.
6. Finally, I appreciate how inexpensive it is. The price is extremely low when compared to the value that these mineral stones provide. Especially since you only have to buy it every two years. 3 years. br>br>Normally, this is where I'd list my dislikes, but I couldn't think of any. (And this is a rare occurrence!) )br>br>These are definitely recommended if you want to add minerals and alkalinity to your water.
I love this product; I thought I'd need an expensive system for it, but all I had to do was follow the directions and place it in the bottom of my Britta. It adds minerals to the water while making it crisp. Since the aquifer in Washington state, I haven't had such great water. RECOMMENDED IN HIGH VOLUME.
The ph of the water increased by one. 5 exactly as described. I collect rainwater, which is normally acidic at a pH of 5. 5 ph. The ph reading after adding the Santevia is 7. Perhaps some of the other reviewers had water with a higher ph and the Santevia didn't have as much of an impact. It worked for me, and the water tastes great (even better than our Berkey filtered rainwater, which is usually excellent).
These were placed in the bottom of my Big Berkey and gave the water a pleasant mineral flavor while also raising the PH. This is the water for you if you enjoy alkaline water.
The ph of the water was not changed in any way.
