The present invention pertains to electrical connection techniques and structures and more particularly to a layered surface treatment to commonly support multiple electrical connection techniques including wirebonding, soldering and wear resistant mechanical connection.
A conventional printed circuit device, such as a flexcable package or printed circuit board, has pads for attachment of surface mounted devices and connection to other circuit elements. The surfaces are masked and the exposed pads prepared with appropriate coatings for the attachment process. Where multiple attachment techniques are used, the preparatory coatings of the pads must be adapted to the particular connective process employed.
Several types of attachment require pad coatings with differing physical characteristics. The application described in this document, as an example of a device employing multiple attachment techniques, is a flexcable that carries wirebond chips and discrete components in addition to interconnecting with the balance of the host device. The flexcable illustrated and described is a typical flexcable which is supported by a disk drive actuator rotor, connects to the transducer head lead wires and the host device electronics and supports an arm electronics (AE) module and discrete components. This type flexcable package possesses mounting and attach pads that support four distinct types of interconnection requirements:
1. Chip on flex (COF) attach pads for direct chip attach (DCA) aluminum wire wedge bonding of the AE chip.
2. Pads for solder attachment of passive discrete surface mount technology (SMT) components.
3. Pad surfaces for connector contacts of an SMT pad on pad connector required for card electronics to flexcable interconnection.
4. Head lead pads for wirebond attachment of gold plated copper wire used for magneto resistive (MR) transducer head to flexcable interconnections.
In this example of flexcable structure, reliable wirebonding of the AE module chip-to-flex and head lead to flex requires the use of soft, ultra high purity noble or semi-noble plated surface finishes such as gold, silver, or palladium over nickel based undercoatings. Pad on pad contact areas require hard, wear resistant surfaces usually provided through plating of finishes such as gold flashed nickel-palladium or cobalt/nickel hardened gold over nickel based underplatings. Further, any and all surface finishes must also be SMT compatible and provide both adequate solderability and favorable metallurgical interface reactions to ensure formation of consistently robust solder joints.
In many devices that have diverse interconnection types, surface finish materials selection problems can be circumvented by selectively plating given carrier regions with different metallurgies that support specific interconnect functions. Unfortunately, selective plating applications require circuit masking and associated mask application, stripping and cleaning processes. Therefore, when multiple regions of different platings are needed to support several interconnection functions, use of selective area plating can drive exceedingly complex, time consuming, and expensive circuit manufacture. As electronic devices become price sensitive commodity products, designs must have inherent low cost of manufacture to help enable competitive pricing. Further, the use of successive masking, plating and stripping sequences can result in the presence of masking residues which can complicate or compromise the connections that are implemented after the initial masking and plating sequence. Clearly, a cost effective universal interconnect finish has both strategic and economic value.
Numerous material sets have been proposed and used for terminal pad surface preparation, but these have been directed either to solder and wirebond applications or to connector applications, not both. In practice, it has been a requirement that a thin intermediate layer of harder material must be used in the soldering and wirebonding environment, while a thick intermediate layer must be present for mechanical connector applications.
The structure and technique of the present invention provides a common, universal surface finish for printed circuit electrical conductor termination pads that supports wirebonding, SMT and pin in hole (PIH) soldering techniques, and wear resistant mechanical connections. This is accomplished by plating the copper pads first with a nickel coating to preclude diffusion of copper to the attachment surface; then an intermediate hard, wear resistant coating of pure noble or semi-noble metal, such as palladium and finally an upper layer of soft gold. In many combined wirebonding, soldering and wear resistant connection environments, the common surface treatment can be achieved using a hard gold layer, formed by doping gold with cobalt, nickel, iron or some combination of any or all of the three metal dopants rather than a layer of pure, hard noble metal like palladium. The limitation of this alternative structure is that where wirebonding with aluminum leads is required, gold-aluminum intermetallic compounds will grow at the attachment interfaces and can compromise the integrity of the connections.
Using the universal tri-layer surface treatment, the use of sequential masking, plating and stripping procedures is eliminated. Only one masking of the terminal pads is necessary and this is provided by the coating of insulation over the printed circuit conductors. On a circuit board, the masking is provided by the insulating coating applied over the copper conductor paths and in a flexcable, as illustrated herein, the masking is provided by the adhesive coated coverlay applied to the flexcable surface to enclose and electrically insulate the conductors while exposing the electrical terminal pads.
Thus the tri-layered surface treatment is cost effective by not only providing a common connector pad surface treatment for all wirebonding, SMT soldering, and wear resistant mechanical connections, but also uses the existing coating which seals, encloses, and electrically insulates the printed circuit conductors to provide the masking function for the single surface preparation plating sequence.

The varying attachment techniques for making electrical connections to copper circuit terminal pads have differing requirements. The use of a diffusion barrier, typically plated nickel, covered by a thin flash or modest thickness of gold plating are effective for both soldering and wirebonding. The soft gold layer provides a clean surface that is both corrosion resistant and free of contaminant films. These surface attributes ensure consistent and reliable metallurgical bonds in wirebond interconnections, and complete wetting of molten solder to SMT pads for consistent component solder joint formation. Solder joint reliability is also ensured when the gold plating layer is applied sufficiently thin so as to completely dissolve into the bulk of the molten solder during SMT attach sequences. A clean, contaminant film free, corrosion resistant surface layer such as gold is also necessary to ensure electrical reliability of mechanical contacts such as pad on pad or pin in socket interconnections. However, the diffusion layer and soft gold layer surface treatment is not adequate for mechanical contact interconnections as wear resistance of the plating is also required. Reliability problems with mechanical contacts are circumvented by applying an intermediate plating layer that has sufficient wear resistance and chemical nobility to support reliable formation of mechanically interconnected pad on pad or socketed electrical contacts. By using a wear resistant noble or semi-noble plating material applied intermediate to the barrier plating and final soft surface gold layer, corrosion problems resulting from mechanical contact wear through to the non-noble barrier plating are eliminated. However, use of an intermediate plating layer in the overall plating system must also provide a substructure beneath the soft gold surface layer that still provides for good initial solderability and wirebondability, and also provides for acceptable solder joint and wirebond interconnect reliability performance over time. Specifically, robust and reliable metallurgical interconnects such as wirebond and solder joint interfaces must withstand thermally induced stresses that result from elevated and cyclic temperature exposures caused from typical device operation and power on/off cycling. Of specific concern are internal stresses that can arise within the metallurgically bonded interconnects and their relationship to the plating materials system selected for circuitized pads on the electronic carrier. In general, chemical reactions between metals and alloys comprising the interconnect and circuit pad metallizations will occur with time and exposure to elevated temperature. These chemical reactions occur predominantly at wirebond and solder interconnect interfaces, and usually involve structural, volume, or phase changes resulting from chemical diffusion processes including the nucleation and growth of intermetallic compound phases. If internal stresses resulting from phase changes such as these remain concentrated at the interconnect interfaces, cracking or separation of the metallurgical bonded contacts can result and prompt bond failures. To ensure reliability of wirebond interconnects, the intermediate wear resistant plating layer must allow for stress redistribution away from wirebond interfaces that result from intermetallic compound formation between wirebond metals and surface plating metals. For these conditions, the use of high purity, wear resistant material as the intermediate plating layer assists in reducing stresses at the connective interfaces. For reliable solder joint interfaces, any reaction products which form must also not prompt significant strength degradation of the solder interconnects as well. Therefore, the barrier layer, intermediated layer, and surface layer treatment combination of circuit carrier must possess specific material properties and favorable long term chemical interaction characteristics with respect to the interconnect materials set to ensure high yield initial assembly, robust interconnection formation and long term reliability.
This document includes references to soft gold, hard gold, and palladium. Soft gold is used to indicate gold having the properties of pure gold which is typically defined as being 99.9% pure gold with limitations on the type and quantity of the metallic impurities that are present in the remaining 0.1% of the material. Hard gold typically includes dopant impurities in the form of cobalt and nickel which are introduced and alloyed with the gold, with the impurity content in the range of hundreds of parts per million and probably not exceeding 1000 parts per million. This introduction of dopants will give the alloy a hardness of HK25 130 to 250 (Knoop hardness scale). Though this hard gold is not a hard material when compared to most common metals and alloys, it does represent a substantial increase in hardness, as compared to soft or pure gold, and enables successful pad on pad wear resistant connections. Palladium in the commercially pure state includes minimal impurities and no intentionally added hardening agents, but has the hardness and wear resistance possessed by hard gold as described above. As used to practice the present invention, the palladium is 99.9% pure, fine grained, equiaxed and possesses a hardness of HK25 200-250 (Knoop hardness scale).
Although the present technique and structure is applicable to any structure to which components and lead wires are connected by surface mounting processes, the following description will show and describe the universal surface finish in the environment of a flexcable. FIG. 1 shows a flexcable 10 of the type commonly used in rigid disk data storage devices to interconnect the magnetic transducer heads and the principal electronic circuitry of the drive. The cable is formed of flexible insulating material 11, such as polyamide, on which conductors are formed either by deposition techniques or by etching away portions of a continuous layer of conductive material. A coverlay 12 of electrically insulating, flexible material serves both to insulate the conductors and mask the terminal pads through which attachment is made to such flexible conductors. An end portion 15 of the flexcable is attached to the movable portion of a disk drive actuator that supports the transducer heads for motion from one track location to another on the surface of the disk. The flexcable end portion presents a series of pads 17 to which the lead wires from the transducer heads are attached; the mounting pads 19 for attachment of an arm electronics module 20; and a series of pads 21 to which are attached discrete components 22. The opposite end portion 23 of flexcable 10 presents masked pads at which a connector 27 mechanically effects pad on pad contact to interconnect the flexcable 10 with the principal circuitry of the disk drive resident on a circuit board outside the sealed enclosure that surrounds the rotating disks and transducing mechanisms. The intermediate length of flexcable 10 includes the conductors extending between the end portion 15, mounted on the movable element of the actuator and the end portion 23 which is secured to a stationary base member and accommodates the relative motion between the secured ends. The details of flexcable end portions 15 and 23 are shown in enlarged form in FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively.
The pads 17 along the flexcable end receive the gold plated copper lead wires from the transducers which are wirebonded thereto using ultrasonic energy. The leads from AE chip 20 are wedgebonded to the flexcable pads 19. Discrete components 22 are soldered to the flexcable pads 21 using SMT. At the opposite end 23 of the flexcable 10, wear resistant pads 25 are required for engagement with the connector 27 that is securely clamped against the pads to assure a positive pad on pad mechanical connection and electrical continuity at each interface. To avoid a sequence of selective masking, plating and stripping operations, a single layered coating of the masked pad surfaces, adequate for all required types of component and lead connection is necessary. The layered surface finish must provide for wirebond, solderable and wear resistant connections.
A solution for development of a cost effective universal surface finish has been developed by applying a specific sequence of electrolytically plated metallurgies to generate a novel, layered tri-plate structure. The layered tri-plate finish provides compatibility for reliable interconnect formation in DCA, SMT and mechanical connector applications. The resultant plating structure is also cost effective to apply, as modifications to the cable design and manufacturing sequence eliminate the need to use separate plating mask process steps or selective plating operations.
FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a portion of flexcable 30 wherein a base 32 of flexible, electrically insulating material supports conductors which terminate at pads 33 which are masked by a coverlay 34 of flexible, electrically insulating material similar or identical to that of the base material. The coverlay 34 carries a layer of adhesive 36 which secures the coverlay to the base 32 and conductors supported thereon. The identified detail of FIG. 4, shown enlarged in FIG. 5, reveals the plated layers that have been applied to the copper pad 33 in accordance with present invention. In one form, the universal tri-plate layered finish consists of a nickel underplate layer 37; overplated with an intermediate layer 39 of hard, pure noble metal such as palladium, overplated with a final surface finish treatment as a layer 41 of high purity soft gold. The plated layer 37 of nickel provides a diffusion barrier over the copper pad. The plated palladium layer 39 affords a pure semi-noble metal layer that supports wirebonding and provides a hard, wear resistant, corrosion resistant surface for pad on pad mechanical connections. The thin soft gold layer 41 enhances solderability and seals the otherwise exposed palladium surface to prevent the palladium from attracting hydrocarbons from the surrounding atmosphere that could form as a contaminant film on the surface. Each of the plated layers 37, 39 add 41 are electrolytically or electrolessly plated to form a high quality; dense, low porosity highly adherent film that is uniform and smooth with a substantially uniform grain size. Instead of using expensive multiple selective plating processes, the native flexcable coverlay is used as a plating mask during application of the nickel, hard gold and soft gold platings. By using this process strategy, the flexible coverlay acts as an integral mask for of the layered universal plating finish. The process enhancement provides significant cost reduction since all independent mask application and strip steps required for selective plating processes are eliminated.
By using the flexible coverlay as the sole plating mask, only areas of copper base circuitry exposed through openings in the flex circuit coverlay are plated with nickel during initial electrolytic plating. This nickel underplating is applied in thicknesses ranging from 80 to several hundred microinches as a barrier to prevent diffusion of base copper to the surface of the gold overplate finish. After the nickel is plated, a palladium intermediate layer is applied over the nickel plating, followed by the final electrolytic plating of a high purity soft gold.
The plating sequence, applied plating layer thicknesses, and plating compositions are all critical for high assembly yield and high reliability DCA wirebonding, soldering, and pad on pad mechanical interconnections. A high purity soft gold layer must be applied as the top surface finish layer for high yield wirebonding, while the intermediate layer of pure palladium beneath the top surface of soft gold insures pad on pad connector reliability and wirebond reliability. For connector applications, the use of relatively pure palladium ensures adequate wear resistance and chemical nobility to provide stable electrical contact in the event that mated contact wear through the soft gold surface finish occurs. For aluminum wirebonding, use of pure palladium underplating ensures the presence of a compliant underplate layer that can accommodate local interface stress buildup prompted from aluminum-gold intermetallic compound formation and growth between the gold surface plating and the aluminum wedgebond. Without the inherent compliancy characteristic of palladium plating stresses which arise from aluminum-gold intermetallic transformations become localized at the underplating interface and result in wirebond separation. Other materials that have adequate hardness for wear resistance are in general hardened through alloying or dopant addition. These alloying/dopant additions impart an undesirable structural rigidity on an atomic level which prompt stress buildup at wirebond interfaces which undergo intermetallic transformations, and can result in aluminum wirebond interface separation. Thickness control of the three plating layers and the combined total thickness of the palladium and soft gold layers are also critical to the reliability of resultant DCA wirebond, solder and pad on pad connector contacts as well. The palladium intermediate layer is plated to a nominal thickness of 35 microinches. In typical manufacturing processes, deviation in plating thicknesses can result from a variety of process variables. The range of plating thicknesses resulting from the process variations must support high yield manufacturing and reliability. Using a standard deviation of 3 microinches and upper and lower limits of three standard deviations, the actual range of plating thickness realized in practice is 26-44 microinches. By plating palladium within the thickness range of 26 to 44 microinches and soft gold within a thickness range of 5 to 30 microinches, while restricting the combined thickness of these two layers to no more than 70 microinches, reliability of all three contact types is achieved.
In many environments, it is not necessary that the intermediate coating (layer 39 of FIG. 5) of the tri-plate layered finish be a hard, pure noble metal. A hard, wear resistant layer may also be formed of hard gold where the gold has been hardened by doping with cobalt, nickel, iron, or a combination of those dopants. This layered finish also serves as a common surface treatment for wirebonding, soldering and wear resistant electrical connections. In order to ensure both high yield assembly and long term interconnection reliability, careful selection of plating layer thicknesses used and chemistry of wire used for the wirebonding process are also critical. To ensure stable and reliable mechanical interconnection of pad on pad or socketed electrical contacts, the wear resistant, doped, intermediate gold layer should be applied at thicknesses ranging from 20 to 40 microinches. For reliable solder joints, a third layer of high purity soft gold, having a thickness of 5 to 30 microinches, is used as the top surface finish over the intermediate layer of hardened doped gold. The combined thickness of the two gold layers should not exceed 55 microinches, as the use of thicker aggregate gold platings will result in incomplete gold dissolution into typically processed SMT solder interconnects and prompt residual gold-tin intermetallic formation at solder joint interfaces. Existence of gold-tin intermetallic reaction products at solder joint/carrier pad interfaces will degrade the mechanical strength and thermal cycling solder fatigue performance of the soldered interconnects. For wirebonding, use of aluminum wire does not provide sufficient long term wirebond interface reliability, as the doped hard gold will not provide for stress redistribution away from wirebond interfaces that result from aluminum-gold intermetallic compound formation reactions occurring between aluminum wirebonds and the soft gold surface layer. This wirebond reliability concern is avoided in one of two ways. First, by using the palladium coating of the prior embodiment as the intermediate hard, wear resistant layer when aluminum leads are attached and second, by using an attachment wire which eliminates the aluminum-gold intermetallic compound formation at the wirebond interfaces The alternative tri-plate layered finish provides for adequate connection using a combination of wirebonding, soldering and pad on pad connections when the leads to be wirebonded are gold or gold plated copper.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various other changes in the form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Meanwhile, echoing voices describe the Innocent's decision ("Justine").

"Tobuscus is entertaining", she would say to herself. "Cry is just a big rip-off, it's so obvious that it's actually kind of painful." She rolled her eyes and continued watching the video...it was amnesia custom story, and Cry was just yapping on about random things. "I hate Cry
" she thought, "
Shame on him, contaminating youtube." It was true that Tabitha hated Cry with a PASSION, and although her preferences were obvious, her friends found it kind of ironic that she had always watched more Cry videos than she EVER did of Tobuscus. She delighted in commenting on all of Cry's stuff. She went through several comments going over every little detail she d
The Unknown Whereabouts of Mitchell McCartneyIn 1961, Mitchell Francis McCartney would have been thirteen years old. He lived in the small community of Blooming Grove, Texas along with his parents; Carrie and George McCartney. Mitchell's older brother; Aaron, lived several miles away in the town of Corsicana, Texas.In the summer of 1961, George McCartney (who had always dreamed of owning a farm) moved his family out of Blooming Grove and into a large farmhouse approximately six miles away from Mitchell's hometown. The house itself was a two-story home with a wrap-around porch, located at the center of the field.The house itself was described as being "Very narrow and tall, with long, broad windows lining the walls."The McCartney family had settled into the house for only a month when the first call was placed into the Blooming Grove Police Department.The call was placed at exactly 6:37pm on May 13, 1961.The call was answered by Mr. Timothy West.The caller was identified as being the young Mitch
AGAIN with the damn Creepypasta WikiOkay, this is just venting...so pardon my, uh, venting.One of my stories; "It's Always Behind Me" had it's title changed several weeks ago. Somebody had it changed to "It's Always behind Me", which, I'm sorry, looks completely stupid. Not exactly caring at the time, I got over it.Recently, ANOTHER moderator/admin thingie guy changed it BACK, agreeing with me that it (not my words) "looks silly."Last night, the same damn admin/mod from EARLIER changed it back, giving me a lecture about how "looking silly" is not a priority, and that the grammatically correct spelling lower-cases the b.Now, my point is--is it truly THAT BIG OF A DEAL? Now, I know it's this guy's JOB to make fixes like this, but when the edit you're making clearly makes the pasta seem ridiculous-looking and crude, you need to step back.Any thoughts?"It's Always Behind Me"vs."It's Always behind Me"

A Restrained Appreciation of Tobey Maguire
Byon January 3, 2014
A version of this story appeared in the January 2014 issue
Tobey Maguire shouldn't be in The Spoils of Babylon. He doesn't do comedy. He doesn't do TV. A joint venture between Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Funny or Die and IFC, Babylon, which premieres next week, is a faux-melodramatic faux-adaptation of a bestselling novel chronicling the travails of a screwed-up family like Wuthering Heights if it were filmed by the guys who made Anchorman, which it is. Maguire plays the adopted son of Tim Robbins's oil tycoon Jonas Morehouse and alternately fights Japanese fighter pilots and incestuous urges. In between Will Ferrell in George R.R. Martin makeup and Kristen Wiig barking out her lines like a 1920s actress filming her first talkie, Maguire's appeal as a movie star suddenly makes sense. He's an interval. A lull. He's the guy you go outside to smoke with at an interesting but crowded party. He's an oasis of an actor.
This quality has been hard to appreciate because it feels like congratulating someone for being a not-very-good movie star. Maguire always seems like he just wandered onto the film set. He portrays not-bad-looking guys whose emotional poles are "vaguely pleased" and "slightly perturbed" and who never get laid. (He stops sleeping with Charlize Theron in order to run a small-town orphanage in The Cider House Rules and spends more time worrying about his best friend's shirt collection than his girlfriend's "hard, jaunty body" in The Great Gatsby.) Maguire plays this character again in The Spoils of Babylon, but his inertia feels dynamic in the context of Wiig's googly-eyed molestation. The show's greatest trick is revealing that the mid-tier dramas that made Maguire famous were obscuring his real talent: whispering in a room full of crazy people.

Personally, it'd be wise to NOT label people as "nuts" who think 9-11 was an inside job. You're smearing THOUSANDS of architects, engineers, and others by flippantly doing so. You only look foolish. I do agree, however, that those people who do believe that 9-11 was an inside job should NOT associate Ron's name with their views.

Sloppy Joe Sandwich Recipe
Jun 15, 2011 10:31 am
A school lunch throwback that's sloppy and good
There's no school lunch revival more nostalgic than the Sloppy Joe sandwich. You can do a lot with basic pantry ingredients and a pound of ground beef, but few recipes are easier than this. The classic is (barely) contained in a burger bun, but feel free to experiment with various rolls and other types of bread.
Servings: 4
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground, cumin
1 teaspoon salt
4 Hamburger buns
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, combine ground beef, onion, and bell pepper.
- When beef is cooked through, drain off excess fat and stir in sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and mustard.
- Season with cumin and salt and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
- Divide among hamburger buns and serve.

Prep Time:

Ex-coach Kearney could file lawsuit soon

UT football notes: Retro helmets here to stay
AUSTIN — Texas' commemoration of its first football national championship will be a season-long affair. After the Longhorns wore a 1963-style helmet design in their season opener, UT coach Mack Brown said Monday that an "overwhelming" majority of players voted to keep wearing them for the rest of the season. The helmets feature each players' […] [Read More]
FINAL: Texas 56, New Mexico State 7
GAME RECAP FOURTH QUARTER David Ash scored his fifth touchdown and fourth through the air with a completion to Mike Davis for a 25-yard score, putting the Longhorns up 42-7 over the Aggies with 11:51 left in the game. The first three plays of the four-play drive featured running back Joe Bergeron, who carried for […] [Read More]
Time Warner Cable picks up Longhorn Network
AUSTIN — For millions of cable customers, the Longhorn Network just became a lot easier to find. The University of Texas' two-year-old 24-hour cable channel, which had been maligned for its lack of availability on major providers, announced Friday night it is now being carried on Time Warner Cable in Texas. The addition to Time […] [Read More]
UT football: Defensive tackle Dorsey to transfer
AUSTIN — Senior Ashton Dorsey, who was expected to be part of Texas' four-man rotation at defensive tackle, has decided to transfer, the Longhorns announced Tuesday. Dorsey, a 6-foot-2, 295-pounder from Tyler John Tyler, ranked third on the team with 10 tackles for loss last season. He wasn't on the team's opening depth chart this […] [Read More]
UT football: Receivers remain a concern
AUSTIN — After a month of preseason camp in which five different wide receivers missed time due to injury, depth at that position remains the Longhorns' biggest concern heading into Saturday's opener against New Mexico State, coach Mack Brown said Monday. Junior Jaxon Shipley, a returning starter who has been slow to come back from […] [Read More]
UT's Ash on Manziel: 'It's only by the grace of God I haven't taken that path.'
AUSTIN — Aside from the position they both play, Texas quarterback David Ash has little in common with Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel. Ash has never even come close to winning a Heisman Trophy. He's never beaten the No. 1 team in the country. He's never led his team to a Top 10 finish. Raised in […] [Read More]
UT football notes: 'Waiting game' for Harrison
AUSTIN — Texas coach Mack Brown said Thursday the academic issue that has prevented offensive tackle Desmond Harrison from practicing for the past 10 days remains unresolved. "It is a waiting game," Brown said. "They're just going through the process." Harrison, a 6-foot-8, 310-pound junior, took a BYU online class as part of his course […] [Read More]

Bottled Water Testing of 20 Different Brands
All of my testing of bottled water shows it to be inferior to filtered tap water. After watching this video, you can get great insight into this subject. Lower down this page look for my huge chart comparing bottled water brands! All brands of bottled water are less healthy for you than if you filter your own water though. Watch the video and read on to find out why.
Blind Tests Show People Like Tap Water if They Think it's a Popular Bottled Brand
When people in a fancy restaurant were presented with an expensive "Water Menu" they immediately believed that the taste of the water was better. In each case the customers reacted to the PR and hype of the fancy label, price, menu and waiter's attitude rather than their own senses in deciding how well they liked each water they tasted.
Bottled Water: Popular but not Healthy
A walk down the water aisle in the grocery store will tell you how popular bottled water has become. However, pretty much all brands of bottled water are not the healthiest water. They've been sitting around in plastic bottles for who knows how long, and while they're certainly better than soda, they are still not good for you.
Granted, tap water may need some basic filtration in order to be as healthy as it can, but simple and inexpensive water filter systems can give you fresher, cleaner and healthier water than bottled water.
This is a video which is a great piece done by ABC's 20/20 reporters:
The PH of the Water We Drink Needs to be Alkaline in Order to be Healthy
Most brands of bottled water are also acidic, and that's not healthy for your body. There are a few of the more expensive brands of water, such as Essentia, that are alkaline, but are also oxidizing. It is impossible to maintain the right alkaline pH-levels for healthiest drinking in bottled water without that water being oxidizing [causing free-radical damage].
If you put the kind of water that would readily support life into a bottle for long-term storage, then life [bacteria] would probably grow, and that of course wouldn't be desirable. Drinking bottled water is similar to eating canned, cooked vegetables. You are losing a lot of the life-giving benefits of water when you drink stored, bottled water.
The Recycling Myth
Of the billions of bottles of water sold in the US, only about 1/5 is recycled. Then out of the ones that are recycled, they don't all make it into the actual recycling process. Some even end up in landfills overseas! That means that not only is the production of bottles costing us millions of barrels of oil each year, but almost all of the bottles are filling our landfills and polluting our earth. The industrial chemicals that are in the material of the bottles haven't been measured, other than BPA, which is only one of the many potentially disease-causing agents in the bottles. Water, the universal solvent, has the ability to leach all kinds of chemicals into itself. The variables of time and temperature are not reported by bottling companies. The EWG, Environmental Working Group, recently found all kinds of contaminants, such as human wastes, bacteria and pharmaceuticals in several brands of bottled water. So, short of doing our own testing of each bottle, we have no assurance of purity and healthiness of the water. It's best to learn how to filter your tap water so YOU can know it's of the highest water quality.
We are being duped into thinking that our recycled bottles are all being responsibly taken care of. Watch the video, below, to get the real story of bottled water.
Filtering Your Own Water is Not that Hard
Many people turn to bottled water because they are concerned about the quality of their tap water. I think they may also not realize that they can get far healthier water if they take a few simple steps to learn how to filter their own water for the best quality. Visit this page to learn how to filter your water yourself. Water Filtration Basics
Keep in mind that municipalities already take the particulates out of the water, the majority of toxins and treat the water for microorganisms. Often all that is needed is a simple carbon filter with a slow flow, and that will filter pretty well, such as any of our PureEasy Filter Systems or other Filters. Our WellBlue PH Pitcher, has a nice slow flow, can filter out the chlorine, other chemicals and heavy metals while still raising the pH to a perfect 9.5. By the way, the fantastic medical research results using alkaline ionized water with mice, rats and chickens were achieved using portable water ionization technology very similar to the WellBlue pitcher [i.e., adding magnesium to the water in the presence of magnetized ceramics.] Water Ionizer Research
Alkaline Antioxidant Water is the Healthiest Water to Drink
Not only is alkaline water good, but also the fact that ionized water is antioxidant water is fantastic! The healthiest water to drink for a variety of reasons is alkaline antioxidant water. It will provide you with pH buffers to help keep your body pH-balanced [slightly alkaline]. It's also packed with natural antioxidants [negatively-charged electrons], which are free to naturally fight free radicals. Free radical damage in the body is like rust, and cell walls can get so degraded that they even mutate if you don't do something about free radicals. Drinking alkaline antioxidant water all day long will help you prevent and even reverse free radical damage. When finished reading this page, take the time to learn more about the important subject of alkaline ionized water and why it's the healthiest water to drink… Benefits of Drinking Alkaline Ionized Water
What is Water Ionization?
Most water is oxidizing by the time it reaches your tap [or bottle], and oxidized water contains positively-charged free radical molecules [active oxygen, or O2+]. Alkaline ionized water contains a good amount of alkaline minerals, and is negatively-charged [antioxidant water]. The minerals, like calcium and magnesium, which are the most abundant minerals in alkaline water, are coincidentally the healthiest to consume. By ionizing this water it gives these healthy minerals a negative charge, which helps the body recognize them as more absorbable than if the water came with its usual mix of minerals and positive charge. Our bodies are naturally electrical, and that means having a negative charge. Negatively charged anitoxidant water is the healthiest water to drink.The fact of being able to sip on ionized water [water which has an abundance of antioxidants] is a great health benefit! This is far more helpful than taking an antioxidant pill, for instance, because a pill is unreliable in how or where any antioxidants will arrive. My experience with this is that I literally saw my spider veins dissappear when I started drinking high-antioxidant water.
Brands of Bottled Water vs. WellBlue Alkaline Ionizing Pitcher
The WellBlue Ionizing Pitcher is a portable water ionizer machine. It doesn't need electricity, and is easy and convenient to use. In this video I am testing it against various brands of bottled water to make a point that for a lot less money and virtually no work, you can get fresh, filtered, alkaline ionized water which is a lot safer and healthier than even the most expensive bottled waters.
The technology of ionizing water in a portable way, with no electricity, was discovered a little over 10 years ago by Dr. Hayashi. This method is based on a discovery that magnesium in water in the presence of magnetized ceramics will excite the water to ionize spontaneously, without the use of electricity. This form of water ionization is a lighter ionization than what you would get with an electric water ionizer.
This video shows the alkalinity of Smart Water, Voss Water, along with the WellBlue pitcher. The WellBlue Alkaline Ionizing Pitcher can filter and remineralize that water, improve the pH-level to a perfect 9.5 pH and also transform it [ionize it] so it has antioxidants in abundance in the water! All of the tested waters, even the Essentia, were shown to be oxidizing [positively charged] when tested. The WellBlue portable water ionizer pitcher made the water negatively charged [which means it has an abundance of free radical scavenging…negatively charged electrons, called antioxidants to help cells stay healthy and free from the damage of oxidation].
Testing Brands of Bottled Water, Municipal Tap Water, and Ionized Water
None of the bottled water tested offer acceptable drinking water in my opinion. The amount of leaching of potentially disease-causing chemicals into the water from the plastic and the high oxidation levels of the bottled water tell me that this is unhealthy to drink. The EWG, Environmental Working Group, is dead-set against bottled water as well. With all of the testing they've done it would be advisable for you to actually visit their great website. They even found pharmaceuticals in several brands of bottled water. One big difference between your tap water and bottled water is that at least the EPA requires your municipality to report on the major, known, disease-causing agents in your tap water yearly. However bottled water companies have almost no regulations and do not have to divulge what their test results are.
I did my own series of tests on the many brands of bottled water that are in the chart, below. My tests were focused on the pH, ORP, oxidation reduction potential, and fluoride levels of the various brands. If you pinned me down and made me declare which bottled water was the best to buy, I'd have to say Essentia, but then I'd be doing you a dis-service, because there is no bottled water that even compares to ionized water in potential health benefits to you. At the same time with a water ionizer you also save money after the first year or so of use. A water ionizer, lasting about 10 – 20 years or so, will eventually be one of the best economical deals you could make [for both your health and your wallet].
See the following chart for information about popular brands of bottled water as compared to each other and to ionized water. Where ORP is mentioned, what that stands for is "oxidation reduction potential", which is another way of saying antioxidants. The positive [+] sign means the water was oxidizing. The negative [-] sign means it is anti-oxidizing [contains antioxidants] and is in-line with what our bodies will accept readily.
Fluoride Testing of 21 Brands of Bottled Water vs Ionized Water
The fluoride testing I did is represented in both this video and the chart below. I found that while all of the brands of bottled water tested contained far less fluoride than what is in my St. Louis tap water, a water ionizer was able to remove all of it. A special Arsenic, Lead, Fluoride filter was able to remove a great deal of it as well [but did not do as well as a water ionizer in removing fluoride]. While reverse osmosis removes fluoride, it also removes all of the other, healthy minerals and electrolytes that your body needs in the water it consumes. Drinking water void of electrolytes is a very unhealthy choice, so these brands, even though they do remove fluoride, are not at all suggested.
Why is fluoride bad? Fluoride is a poison and even if one consumes as little as 1 mg. of fluoride the toothpaste warning states you should seek immediate medical care. It's linked to learning disabilities and Altzheimer's disease, and because of this I take fluoride filtration very seriously. Here's the video.
How Does Ionized Water Beat Out Bottled Water in Every Single Way?
- Good Filtration: Even if you pay the highest price for the best filtered bottled water, after it sits in a plastic container on the store shelf for a few weeks or months, it will need whatever has leached into it filtered out!
- PH: Fresh alkaline filtered water [especially if ionized] can be relied upon to give you far better health results.
- Antioxidants: I have witnessed the effects of a high-antioxidant value of ionized water when I saw the spider veins on my leg disappear right before my very eyes one day.
- Convenience: Some people think it's just more convenient to go to the store and buy water. If you think of the time it takes to go into the store alone, it is just not convenient.
Summary: Facts about Bottled Water Brands
- All brands of bottled water a lot more expensive than if you filtered the water properly yourself.
- Bottled water is often acidic.
- Bottled water brands are not regulated for water quality safety as well as municipalities are for your tap water.
- We are filling the landfills with empty bottles. We can't even use all the recycled plastics.
- The bottles are made with petroleum, and there is chemical leaching into the water from them.
- Even with the best alkaline water brands, by the time they get to you they won't be even close to "perfect" any more.
- You can do a far better job of getting the best water [filtered and ionized to perfection] on your own with one of our great alkaline water machines, or our new WellBlue pitcher.
What is the Healthiest Water to Drink?
I have tested alkaline antioxidant water against various brands of water: bottled water brands, soda, distilled, reverse osmosis, and tap waters. Over the past 20 years of using alkaline ionized water for myself and family, I have found that the healthiest water to drink is alkaline antioxidant water, and I encourage you to move away from drinking bottled and give alkaline ionized water a try.
Why is alkaline water good?
To keep our blood the right pH, 7.365, we should drink water at a pH of about 9 to 10. Drinking alkaline water helps the body detoxify. Toxins are acids, and to maintain pH balance while you are detoxifying, one needs an abundance of alkaline buffers.
Alkaline Water is Important to Cleanse the Cells of Toxins. In order to rid the body of acidic wastes, it is important that you have sufficient buffers, and that's a big reason why alkaline water is good. Our blood requires and actually enforces pH balance and when water is too acidic, your body is unable to flush out the acidic wastes from your cells and tissues. Organs deteriorate and disease sets in over time when you don't flush out the acidic wastes.
Scroll down to see our big chart comparing the pH-levels of alkaline antioxidant water with tap and bottled water [also reverse osmosis water, soda, gatorade and distilled water].
Reverse Osmosis and Distilled Water
Reverse osmosis and distilled water are void of minerals. Water is known as the universal solvent. As it travels through rivers, rock, etc. on its way to your tap it picks up minerals. Most of the regions in the US have some pretty healthy minerals [like calcium, magnesium, and potassium] that are picked up by the water as it travels to your tap. Unhealthy elements are picked up too, such as lead, copper, and arsenic, but these are pretty easily removed from your water with the right filtration. By the time your water has reached your tap, you are right to think that many of the elements in it might be unhealthy. So what do you do? Reverse osmosis or distillation is not always the wrong thing to do, but you should know that when you remove all of the minerals from the water you will need to put healthy minerals back into the water to make it stabilized. What happens with reverse osmosis water or distilled water [which has not been remineralized] in the body is that it will travel through and pick up minerals right out of your joints and bones! Water has the property of wanting to do this. It does not want to stay void of all minerals.It is usually better, cheaper and easier to avoid reverse osmosis or distilled water filtration, but sometimes it is necessary. If you have a whole house water softener, for instance, then that water is full of sodium [which reverse osmosis is one of the only methods to remove sodium from water].

ASU freshman linebacker Vontaze Burfict has received clearance to play and will suit up for Saturday's game against Idaho State, school officials said.
Burfict, the highest-ranked player ASU has ever signed, was awaiting word from the NCAA Clearinghouse regarding courses he took over the summer.
The Clearinghouse approved his eligibility Friday, and although Burfict missed some practice time this past week as he waited for that approval, he's expected to play Saturday.
Burfict had been running with the second team in practice, but it's unknown how much playing time he'll see.
