  Alternatively, you can use alkaline drops. Follow the instructions for the amount of water you're using. Following the instructions will ensure you get the optimal pH level.

  Pour your distilled water into a water ionizer for the ultimate in pH level control. Water ionizers use electricity to ionize water, and have multiple pH settings. Some ionizers can also decrease the pH level, making the water acidic. Make sure you choose the right setting for your alkaline water.
