Vender Dispenses 'Ultra-Hydrating' Alkaline Water

Alkaline Water vendor joins AVTC in the area of on site automated retailing food and drink preparation AVTC, for example, supplies fully automated popcorn machines to Pop N Go. The machines are capable of delivering single servings of fresh hot popcorn, to meet the demands of today's market. AVTC’s solution includes self-contained equipment produces fresh popcorn for each customer while allowing the customer to watch the entire popping process.

Regarding Alkaline Water, Japan has recognized the benefits of drinking alkaline water since the 1960’s, when Japanese research revealed that it was an effective medical treatment for a wide range of ailments. Since that time, alkaline water use has become widespread in Japan.

Health conscious consumers in the US are just now waking up to the benefits of drinking alkaline water. Demand for alkaline water is increasing; consumers have shown a willingness to pay between $3 and $5 a bottle! Others, who seek an alternative to bottled water, have purchased home water ionizer systems and make alkaline water themselves.

Alkaline water is not a chemical, nor does it have any added to it. Alkaline water is simply water with a higher pH value. When water is ionized, it gains a negative charge which makes it a natural antioxidant.

Water produced by the new automated solution LV-1000 has a pH range of up to 10.5, and can be adjusted to the generally recommended 9.0 level. The system reportedly breaks water molecule clusters down into smaller groupings -- a process known as microclustering -- which is said to make water easier for the body to absorb. Another benefit, according to EarthTrade officials, is that the water's strong negative "oxygen reduction potential" makes it a powerful antioxidant.
