The invention is directed to point of use devices and appliances for alkalizing water that is to be ingested. The devices comprise straws, carafes, countertop units, water bottle units, and any other devices that will treat the water at the point of use. A unit for treating input water to increase the alkalinity of the input water comprises a housing, an input aperture for the input of water to the housing and an exit aperture for the flow of the input water from the housing, an alkaline formulation within the housing, the alkaline formulation comprising at least one shaped structure containing compounds to raise the pH of the input water, the alkaline formulation containing ions of one or more of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium on a solid oxide base, the pH of the input water being increased at least about 5 pH. |
