Empilweni yanamuhla, ukuphepha kwamanzi okuphuza kanye nempilo sekuyinkinga enkulu. Izihlanzi zamanzi zendabuko zigxile kakhulu ekukhipheni ukungcola, amagciwane, nezinsimbi ezisindayo emanzini, kodwa ngokuvamile azinaki umthelela ongaba khona webhalansi ye-pH yamanzi emzimbeni womuntu. Ngokusekelwe kulo mbono, kwavela umqondo wokuklama wezihlanzi zamanzi ane-alkali, okuhloswe ngawo ukuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yamanzi ngokusebenzisa izindlela zobuchwepheshe nokuhlinzeka ngamanzi okuphuza anempilo ahlangabezana kangcono nezidingo zabantu.
Umqondo womklamo oyinhloko wezihlanzi zamanzi ane-alkali ukulungisa i-pH yamanzi futhi ubuyisele ubuthaka bawo bemvelo obubuthakathaka. Ucwaningo lwesayensi lubonisa ukuthi amanzi ane-alkaline ebuthakathaka (pH 7.5-9.5) kulula ngomzimba womuntu ukumunca, okusiza ukunciphisa imikhiqizo ye-acidic metabolism nokugcina ibhalansi ye-acid-base. Ngakho-ke, lezi zihlanzi zamanzi ngokuvamile zisebenzisa izihlungi ezinama-mineralized noma ubuchwepheshe be-electrolysis. Nakuba ehlunga izinto eziyingozi, aphinde engeze ama-ion amaminerali afana ne-calcium, i-magnesium, ne-potassium emanzini, ngaleyo ndlela andise i-alkalinity yawo kanye nenani lokudla okunomsoco.
Izihlanzi zamanzi ane-alkali nazo zigcizelela umklamo ohlakaniphile futhi{0}}nomsebenzisi. Izici ezihlanganisiwe ezifana nokuqapha kwe-TDS (isamba esincibilikisiwe) kanye -nokubonisa kwe-pH yesikhathi sangempela kuvumela abasebenzisi ukuthi baqonde izinguquko zekhwalithi yamanzi ngokunembile. Amanye amamodeli{4}esiphetho aphezulu aphinde afake isistimu yesikhumbuzi ehlakaniphile, ekhuthaza ukushintshwa kwesihlungi esivamile ukuze kuqinisekiswe{5}}imiphumela yokuhlanza yesikhathi eside, ezinzile. Ukudla{7}izinga lensimbi engagqwali noma umthofu{8}}izihlungi zamahhala zikhethwa ekukhetheni okubalulekile ukuze kugwenywe ukungcoliswa kwesibili nokuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwamanzi okuphuza.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, idizayini yezihlanzi zamanzi ane-alkali azimeleli nje kuphela ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bokuhlanza amanzi kodwa futhi nokukhuthazwa kwendlela yokuphila enempilo. Ngokuthuthukisa ngokwesayensi ikhwalithi yamanzi, basiza abasebenzisi ukuthi bagxume “baphuze amanzi ahlanzekile” baye “ekuphuzeni amanzi anempilo,” okuhlanganisa ivelu eyinhloko yesayensi nobuchwepheshe obusiza inhlalakahle yomuntu-. Esikhathini esizayo, njengoba ubuchwepheshe buqhubeka buthuthuka, izihlanzi zamanzi ane-alkali zizophinde zihlanganise ukuvikelwa kwemvelo nokongiwa kwamandla, zibe yisinqumo esihle samanzi okuphuza anempilo emindenini yesimanje.
