Please enlighten us on what electrified water was. Was it just a brand name or did they actually run a current through mineral water to enhance its 'beneficial properties'?

RE: Electrified Water Bottles - 11/26/2011 10:29:11 PM    Savigar   Posts: 5 Joined: 11/26/2011 Status: offline Thank you for the welcome! There were several 'Electrified Water' companies around the country in the early 1900s. I don't know about all of them, but the one in Shreveport, Louisiana took it's name from the electrically-powered distillation unit that the company acquired from an army surplus sale. In those days, electricity was relatively new, very desirable, and made a great advertising buzz-word. Also, electrically distilled water was pure, and water-borne diseases like typhoid, cholera, and dysentery were still active; 'electrified' was intended to stress that the water was safe and pure due to the use of a popular, powerful new technology.

Many of the local mineral water companies from back in the day (around Wisconsin) stressed the mineral content - that is how much sediment and particulate was in the water making it extra healthy.

I have no idea if it is from Louisianna. If you are interested in more info, let me know. (in reply to Savigar) Post #: 8
