Thank you very much to Steve and Sonia at Alka Power for allowing me to reach out to them to assist me in my quest for 10 litre Alka Power water boxes. My husband has a number of distressing health disorders, including Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease. Michael was advised to use Alka Power PH 9-10 by Doctor Matt Zimmerman, who is in practice at… Read more
Hollywood Specialist Centre in Perth.
Alka Power has changed Michael's life. He no longer has symptoms of Barrett's Oesophagus which can lead to Oesophageal Cancer. He drinks only Alka Power PH 9-10 and no longer has to endure gastroscopies every two years. Doctor Zimmerman was as delighted as we were with the results of Alka Power water.
I have had huge difficulty sourcing enough Alka Power water before we head for the North West of WA over our winter for health reasons. We have been searching for enough !0 litre boxes of Alka Power for ease of packing into our ute. As pensioners, we also find buying the 600ml packs or the 1.5 litre bottles prohibitively expensive.
I would implore both Coles and Woolworths to ensure that customers like us can source this product which is paramount to Michael's health.
I just wish we had found out about Alka Power much sooner than we did! I would give the product 10 stars if I could.
After a horrible LPR reflux flare-up, this was an absolute life-saver. The pH promise is for real because it neutralised the pepsin and helped me heal much quicker than previous episodes. For anyone else needing it to get through a reflux flare-up, please give it a go. Hopefully it will be a huge help for you too :) Show details
BEST WATER IN AUS HANDS DOWN - THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING A REAL PRODUCT AND NOT A GIMMICK! The bad reviews and critics against this genuine company are without a doubt - payed off to destroy this brilliant family owned aus company.

close to this water and when coles had none on the shelf once or twice and we resorted to other water - my activeness and endurance declined. We get the 10 litre packs and its our lifeline.

Contained plastic and other contaminants – Today I purchased 5 x 600ml bottles of this water, and once home noticed that 2 out of the 5 contained contaminants. One has a large amount of unknown flakes/particles floating around, and the other has an entire piece of plastic in it. The others look clear, but I'm not brave enough to drink them now. Extremely disappointed. Show details
Waste of money and negative effects – I purchased eight 1.5L bottles in the hope it would make some positive difference, or at least it wouldn't cause any harm because the manufacturer claims no BPA in the plastic. Unfortunately, this water messed up my digestion over the week it took me to finish the 8 bottles. This water was the only thing I changed in my diet, and I ended up with… Read more
severe constipation and a flare-up of hemorrhoids. I wonder what they put in this water to achieve the high alkalinity. Why don't they show the mineral composition on the bottle, like most other self-respecting water brands do? Lack of consistency? Maybe the composition isn't that impressive and healthful? As a general note: The more I read about the topic of alkaline water consumption, the more evidence I see that it is unnatural and not helpful for proper digestion to mess with the normal, healthy pH of the stomach by fighting it drinking alkaline water. No wonder I had those negative effects.

Just what I needed! – I’ve trained in the gym for over 20 years and during this time I have tried to look after my body the best I can by eating the “right foods” and taking the best supplements. Over those years, I was always missing “something” in my diet and I struggled with health issues like cramping/fatigue/GERD. I tried countless times to look after my… Read more
hydration but all I ended up doing was spending money and kept getting the same results. That was until now. Since drinking Alka Powers Active PH9+, • I no longer get heartburn/reflux from drinking water. • I manage to hit my daily goal of 3.726ltrs a day (monitored using a Hidrate Spark bottle) as this water actually is nice to drink. (Image 1) • My Whoop band recovery results are regularly in the green/yellow which is fantastic as previously I would fatigue/burn out (whoop band monitors your biometrics and helps you recover/perform). (Image 2)
And last but not least, because the Active PH9+ has electrolytes and minerals, I no longer suffer from muscle cramping and don’t have to pay $$ on sugar free sports drinks (Saving me $$$).
I recommend, that if you are like me - just someone who hits the gym to keep healthy, drinks sports drinks and eats well but feels like somthing is missing, get rid of the sports drinks and other waters and give Alka activePH9+ a good go.
As you can tell by my review I am very happy I have found Alka Power, just wish I started drinking it years ago!!
A lot of questions – A lot of things does not add up so I tried to send an email to Steve Pettaras but he hasn't replied. But he does rely on here apparently so here we go. Hi, I have a few questions about your water, First would you be able to point me towards the source for the claim about alkaline water detoxifying pancreas. How it oxygenates the blood and… Read more
affect energy levels?
If blood pH has to stay in a 7.35-7.45 pH range, and acid forming food is bad cause the body has to work harder to raise the pH, wouldn't going the complete other way have the same effect and force the body to fight harder to not go over 7.45 ?
Can you point me towards studies that show that the body pulls "minerals like magnesium and calcium from your bones, teeth, and organs to neutralise the acid, placing undue pressure on your kidneys and liver."? What is the relationship between mineral content and workload of the kidneys and liver?
What do you mean exactly by: "keeps your cells in tip-top shape" (from your website - learn more)
You say on your website that "ALKA POWER Alkaline Spring Water contains 5 natural electrolytes (Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium and Phosphate)" however when I look at your certificate of analysis it shows that the levels for Potassium, Sodium and magnesium sit under the Limit of Recording (LOR) therefore no measurable amount was detected and Phosphate is not even present in the analysis. additionally calcium is extremely low (most mineral water contain an average of 70 mg/L against 7.5mg/L on the certificate and 5.4 on the bottle I bought. knowing that you are adding a "unique combination of ethically-sourced, marine based minerals" why do you choose to add so little ? and how these trace amounts give the high pH when mineral water with a much higher mineral content have according to you a much lower pH?
I am very curious to learn more about alka power and look forward to your answer. Sincerely ELodie

In-depth reviews
I meet Steve at Fine Foods expo a few months ago. He told me about his water and some of the feedback from other consumers that had been drinking it over the years. On face value I thought it was just another sales pitch. Steve gave me a bottle and to say it was refreshing, and crisp would be an understatement. During the conversation I told Steve… Read more
that my mum suffered from Gout and my wife from acid reflux. Steve went on to tell me about so many consumers who suffered from the same issues and had such positive results after consuming Alka Power.
Again, I was sceptical... None the less, I thought what have I got to lose. Went to Coles and Woolworths, bought a few 10L cases, brought them home and drop a couple at my mum’s place. Told them about the conversation and said give it a go. 2 weeks later - mum calls me and says she hasn’t felt this good in years and my wife is telling me the same. Again, my scepticism is thinking it must be something else. Cases of water run out, and we go back to drinking the same old brands we previously did. Symptoms return and both mum and wife suggest going back to Alka Power - 2 days after consuming AP - They are back to feeling fantastic. We have now been drinking for 2-3 months, and we won’t be switching to any other brand. This stuff works wonders. Thank you, Steve, for proving to a sceptic that real things still exist in this world.
Facts matter – I know a fair bit about water because we sale mineral waters in Europe (natural springs). Below are factual reasons why Alka Power is good (unlike others): 1- These guys do not hide that Alka Power has 158mg/L alkalinity (not to be confused with pH). That is a very decent buffering capacity to neutralise acids. This alone is in my view more… Read more · 1
important than pH itself.
If you see alkaline waters that do not show alkalinity information in mg/L do not bother to buy. Alka Power is honest and in practical terms you need 158mg/L of pure acid before Alka Power water pH starts changing. Good buffering capacity.
2 - Achieving 158mg/L alkalinity at pH level of 9.5 is harder than same at say 5.9pH (many natural mineral waters in Europe). People need to understand that even water with 5.9pH with alkalinity of 158mg/L is capable of neutralising acids in stomach. (That has 1.3pH or so). As such 9.5pH combined with 158mg/L alkalinity is really good.
3- Alka Power water is very low in sodium 1.3mg/L. Which is good for high blood pressure and diabetics. Buffering capacity is based on CaCo3 which is healthy.
So for those who love soda bicarbona! I suggest you switch quickly to CaCo3 bicarbonates.
4 - Low level of chloride and No Fluoride is positive.
Glass bottles would be perfect but 30% recyclable PET is an effort.
The only information that is not shared and I understand why (too advanced for ordinary consumers) is REDOX reading in mV. It states it is ionic but perhaps you need to go to their website
to see if REDOX Reading is negative (antioxidants).
This is first time I purchased Alka Power and I congratulate team for honesty and good product.
A Good Water Brand Isn't Afraid Of Being Asked Questions – A good water brand isn't afraid of being asked questions, but "ALKA POWER WATER" does not have a customer phone number and their address provided on the bottle is all illegitimate as seen on google maps, it is hard to determine where exactly this water comes from? Over testing with litmus paper, i have found that it is quite acidic with a PH of… Read more
6.1, the water hasn't even reached the global health standard for tap water (PH7.0). It is self proclaimed to be PH9-PH10, as a matter of fact, it is only PH6.1 and does not even meet the standards of normal Generic supermarket spring water! If it indeed makes people better at physical activities, it should be classified as sport/energy drink as sport/energy drinks are usually acidic! For your health, i suggest to you that you should buy some litmus paper and test your own Spring Water, then test it again against the "ALKA POWER WATER", this will give you some reliable results as which one is healthier for you! Water is the source of life, please take care of yourself and watch how healthy the water you are consuming is!

I have to say I am overwhelmed by the amount of negative reviews and how far some people went to criticise this product. May be they are under the impression that this highly alkaline water can be a full-time replacement of natural (pH neutral) water that we regularly drink ( one minute silence for them). However, myself as a sufferer of high… Read more · 1
uric acid and frequent gout flare ups, this water never let me down. I didn't have to fully replace with natural water, just take few cups (500-1000ml) a day and I never had any gout flare ups as such. Well, it didn't cure the high uric acid but at least helped a lot with sudden flare ups. Now I don't take any painkillers/NSAIDs as this water naturally neutralizes the acid levels.
Let me tell you it's not just me, it also helped other gout sufferers as well so it works. But just a bit cautious, it is highly alkaline and not recommended to be the main source of your hydration.
A crisp, refreshing natural, high pH water. My go to water whilst exercising as it keeps me hydrated and continually feeling my best. 100% recommend this water for everyday use. Show details

Love this water. Met the founder and he told us his story and the importance of the water. Not only is it great for you and reduces your cramping for exercising but it also tastes delicious. It’s fresh like normal water but has a hint of extreme cleanliness and sort of sweetness.

Highly recommended – Was recommended to try this water to help with my ibs. Noticed a change how my gut felt after 1 month to less heavy feeling. And the taste is so much nicer than other bottled water!! Highly recommended! Show details
My life is better thanks to Alka Power – I’ve battled severe eosinophilic esophagitis for seven years, with symptoms worsening despite numerous specialist consultations. Last year, a sip of soda triggered a spasm attack, leaving me unable to breathe for 20 seconds. Then I started drinking Alka Power, which can instantly alleviate an impending attack with just a sip. This product has given me a new lease on life, and I can’t recommend it enough. Show details · 1
