This caused the lead from the old pipes the water traveled through to leach into the water supply and poison thousands of men, women, and children.<\/p>\n<p>The result? The lead-poisoned water became unsafe and dangerous to drink, threatening the health and wellness of Flint\u2019s residents. To add insult to injury, town officials continued to tell residents that the water was indeed safe to drink!<\/p>\n<p>The water crisis in Flint left many people scrambling for better ways to protect their families\u2019 health, while also shedding some serious light on unaddressed water quality issues across the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Flint residents began to wonder: How they could create their own clean and pure water supply in the comfort of their own home?<\/p>\n<p>One option would be to use a premium water ionizer that includes two filters.<\/p>\n<p>These machines are currently installed in 1 in 5 households in Asia\u2026but could a water ionizer be a good option for Flint, MI residents?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look below.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"un2\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What Is a Water Ionizer?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2131\" src=\"http:\/\/old.ionizerresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ionizer-research-water-ionizers-medical-devices-twitter-a-v2-e1550594255953.jpg\" alt=\"water ionizers\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.ionizerresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ionizer-research-water-ionizers-medical-devices-twitter-a-v2-e1550594255953.jpg 600w, https:\/\/old.ionizerresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ionizer-research-water-ionizers-medical-devices-twitter-a-v2-e1550594255953-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ionizerresearch.com\/how-does-an-alkaline-water-ionizer-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A water ionizer works hard<\/a> to filter your tap water that is then converted into alkaline water by the process of electrolysis.<\/p>\n<p>Using <a href=\"https:\/\/ionizerresearch.com\/do-water-ionizers-filter-water\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heavy-duty ultra-filters<\/a>, a water ionizer can remove harmful contaminants and bacteria from your tap water.<\/p>\n<p>In fact &#8211; one premium water ionizer (Tyent) even has special dual filters that can remove <strong>99.9% of lead and <a href=\"https:\/\/ionizerresearch.com\/water-ionizer-chromium-6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">99.9% of Chromium-6<\/a> <\/strong>from the water.<\/p>\n<p>A water ionizer filter straight up beats a Brita filter, any day of the week!
