Does water PH make a difference?

[cmclien]

I saw there was an old thread about drinking water PH but I am wondering if any of you routinely test water PH and if it truly makes a difference in how you feel?
I am thinking of getting some of those ph test strips at the petstore.
I have r/o water in my house and softened water that comes out of my tap that I never drink.

For me I believe it's the clorine in many water supplies that's a problem. When I'm at home, I drink from the tap (we have a deep well with UV filter); when away from home, I buy bottled spring water with no additives.

I have never tested the PH of water. You can get PH test strips from swimming pool supply places.

Oregon Water

Here is this beautiful state of Oregon where we are supposed to have some of the best water, I can still taste and smell the chlorine in it! I only drink filtered water, but I also carry around a bottle of Essentia water at all times- it has a ph level of 9.5! It's about $1.59 for a 33 oz bottle. I think it helps, but it just tastes so good and makes me feel better in general.

I can tell a difference if the water is not a good ph. I have tested them all. I have found the best (and cheapest) is the Crystal Geyser brand. It has a perfect ph and they sell it at Dollar Tree for a dollar a gallon, so it is easy for me to get. I tried filtering my own but that doesn't change that ph, and my tap water is terrible. For me that is what works best, and luckly it isn't expensive.
