About ActiPH Water
What is the pH scale?
pH is a measure of how acidic/basic (alkaline) water is. The range spans 0 - 14, where 7 is neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, where a pHs of greater than 7 indicate alkalinity.
At the acidic end of the spectrum you would find fizzy, sugary soft drinks, fast food and alcohol. With its pH of 9+, Actiph provides a refreshing alkaline alternative to our increasingly acidic diets.
What is Actiph Water?
Actiph Water is alkaline ionised water. It is made by taking fresh Shropshire spring water, adding a unique blend of electrolytes, then ionising to remove acidic ions, leaving a high pH water that is smooth, refreshing and provides an alkaline alternative to our increasingly acidic diets.
Why do I get a neutral pH reading with pH strips?
pH strips (litmus paper) do not work correctly in purified water. Because Actiph is purified at the beginning of its manufacturing process pH strips consequently deliver a neutral reading when using them to test the pH of Actiph. The best way to test is using a calibrated pH meter, as is the regulatory standard in our industry. Alternatively, pH drops will turn Actiph dark blue, indicating a pH of 9+.
What electrolytes does Actiph Water contain?
Actiph contains potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate and magnesium sulphate.
What is the best way to test Actiph water's pH?
The best way to test is using a calibrated pH meter, as is the regulatory standard in our industry. Alternatively, pH drops will turn Actiph dark blue, indicating a pH of 9+.
What does Actiph Water taste like?
In simple terms, Actiph tastes like regular water. However, our customers tell us it tastes smoother, softer and cleaner than regular water.

FAQs
Sustainability
What does Actiph Water do to reduce its environmental impact?
+ Our plastic bottles are made with 30% recycled plastic.
+ All Actiph products are produced in 100% recyclable packaging.
+ We partner with Ecologi to help offset our employee's carbon footprint, plant trees via responsible reforestation, and fund climate initiatives around the globe.
Why do you produce plastic bottles and not, say, cartons?
Whilst plastic continues to be a major environmental issue, we believe it is still the correct material for some of our products. There are a few reasons for this:
+ It has the lowest carbon footprint to produce and recycle.
+ It is one of the most widely recycled materials, reducing the risk of it ending up in a landfill unnecessarily.
+ Some alternatives, such as cartons or resealable cans are not widely recycled and require huge amounts of energy to recycle. Cartons, for example, are often comprised of plastic, cardboard and tin in one package which then needs to be separated before it can be recycled.
+ For a product like Actiph Water, which customers like to take with them when they travel or go to the gym, for example, the most suitable material to use is plastic as it is durable, lightweight, resealable and safe.
