What is alkaline water?
Alkaline water is a type of drinking water with a pH above 7, which can reach values of 8.5–9.5 thanks to the addition of mineral ions such as calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺). These ions can neutralize acidity present in the water and in our body, helping to improve the body’s acid-base balance.
The water we drink daily can have a pH ranging from 6.5 to 8.5, according to Legislative Decree 18/2023 (transposing EU Directive 2020/2184), which sets the requirements for the quality of water intended for human consumption.
Why the pH of water is important
pH measures the level of acidity or alkalinity of water. Water that is too acidic (pH < 7) can:
- alter the taste of the water,
- accelerate the corrosion of household pipes,
- interfere with the mineral balance in our body.
According to several scientific studies, including one published in The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (2016), alkaline water can improve hydration and help the body recover more quickly after physical exertion, thanks to the presence of alkaline minerals and its higher bioavailability.
How the ProAcqua MN Filter works
The ProAcqua MN Filter is designed to naturally modify the chemical composition of water, raising its pH through a process called ionization. This filter, in fact:
- releases magnesium and calcium ions,
- reduces the acidity of drinking water,
- improves the taste and quality of the water.
The principle is simple but effective: when water passes through the MN filter, it comes into contact with mineral materials that release alkaline ions, raising the pH and making the water healthier.

Benefits of ionized alkaline water
Several benefits of ionized alkaline water have been observed in preliminary studies and in everyday clinical experience. The main ones are:
Antioxidant effect: according to some studies, alkaline water can act as a redox agent, counteracting free radicals. Reduces gastric acidity: it may help in cases of reflux or stomach acidity. Improves hydration: thanks to better cellular absorption. Provides essential minerals: Ca and Mg are crucial for muscles, bones, and the nervous system.

Is it safe? What does the legislation say?
es, it is safe. The MN filter fully complies with the requirements of Legislative Decree 18/2023, which ensures the safety of drinking water even when treated at home.
Moreover, the calcium and magnesium ions are not chemical additives but natural minerals, already present in water in varying amounts. Their addition is also recognized at the European level as an improving treatment, not a harmful one.
The materials of the MN filter are certified for food contact and do not release any toxic substances.
