Not All Water Is Created Equal
We drink water every day (at least we're supposed to), but are we drinking water that is good for us?
You may think that all purified water is good enough. It's all the same, right? The truth is, water treated by distillation and reverse osmosis takes "the good" out with "the bad", leaving us with Acidic/Dead Water that contains no minerals. Conventional filtration methods often remove everything and strip water bare, leaving almost nothing but water molecules. That's great for removing toxins and waterborne diseases, but it doesn't retain any of the other beneficial elements of water. That's why Dream Tree Family uses a proprietary process called Ceramic Conversion to bring your water back to life! We put the right things back in so you can drink water the way nature intended.
First, let’s explain what alkaline means.
The alkalinity and acidity of any solution can be measured using a pH scale. This scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions, from 0-14, in water. On the pH scale, 7 is considered neutral, below 7 acidic, and above 7 is alkaline. The quality of our drinking water today continues to be of great concern to many. Most of us want the best water available for consumption, and we believe the healthiest water on the market today is alkaline water. Years of scientific and medical research have gone into its development, and recent studies are revealing the great benefits alkaline water can provide.
GOOD HEALTH REQUIRES AN ACID-ALKALINE BALANCE IN OUR BODY.
Our bodies pH levels (acid-alkaline) can have a negative or positive effect on every organ and cell. Prolonged acidic imbalances of any kind can overwhelm us, and lead to health complications.
Just as the body regulates its temperature rigidly, it also works hard to manage a healthy pH range – especially in our blood. The body tries to maintain a blood pH of 7.35, and in doing so, it creates internal stress on other tissues, body systems, and organs. Chronic acidity interrupts all cellular activities and functions; it interferes with life itself. Proper pH balance is essential for our bodies and requires us to be more alkaline than acidic.
Water is a contributing factor in establishing and maintaining a proper acid-alkaline balance. Since our body is 50-75% water, it is imperative to replenish our supply of water regularly. Our body loses 2.5 liters (84.53 ounces) of water daily, and we need to replace it.
The quality of our water is an essential part of health and plays a role in life-and-death, as does the quantity we consume. The water we drink must be able to help us prevent chemical substances and toxins from growing and damaging cells within our bodies. It must transport minerals and nutrients required for cell metabolism and remove any elements that can harm cells. Ideally, the water we drink should have a pH between 8 and 10. The amount we drink depends on our body size, climate, and our exercise regimen.
To hydrate our bodies optimally, we need to drink water that is alkaline. It will help us to neutralize stored acids and toxins and remove them from our bodies. Alkaline water containing minerals also acts as a conductor of electrochemical activity from cell to cell.Reports from studies suggest that it may help our bodies fight sickness and the aging processes by:
• Increasing intracellular hydration
• Restoring essential minerals
• Stabilization and protection of cells
• Helping to maintain healthy blood circulation and acid-alkaline stability
• Flushing waste from accumulating in cells
• Preventing free radicals from forming and harming other cells
Why I Opened Water Tree Las Cruces
My wife was diagnosed with cancer and told by the doctor that she needed to start drinking Alkaline water which, here in Las Cruces was only sold in stores by the gallon. The price was not cheap.
My wife found a Water Tree store in El Paso and got an Under the sink (ROCCS) filtration system from them. I installed the system. After two weeks of drinking the water, which was really good, I called the store owner to find out more about the company.
Well after praying about it, I signed up with the help of the El Paso store owner to be a store owner, found a location, and on Jan. 1 2022 I opened my door for business.
My wife is in remission and doing well.
My goal is to help others have good clean Alkaline water!

When Richard Todd’s wife, Yolanda, was diagnosed with breast cancer, her doctors suggested she drink alkaline water to support her immune system.
But the options available in Las Cruces were expensive and not easily accessible, Todd said. In El Paso, the couple discovered Water Tree, a company based in Houston that provides various products to customers for purifying their water.
The couple purchased a filtration system, installed it under the sink in their home and soon became proponents of the product. Todd went so far as to open his own Water Tree store in Las Cruces in 2022.
“This is my retirement,” Todd said. “Making people happy, helping them have good water – that's what I'm here to do.”
Water Tree Las Cruces is located on N. Main Street in an unassuming suite tucked between several other businesses. The store’s purpose is given away almost immediately when customers walk up and see the water dispensers outside the entrance.
Inside, customers will find a long sink with six different types of water they can purchase, including pure, premium, magnesium and mineral.
Todd explained that his filtration system, set up in the back of the shop, purifies city tap water. New customers will likely get an electrolyzer demonstration from Todd, showing the impurities in city tap water compared to his alkaline water.
Todd also explained that the Water Tree filtration system customers can install in their homes differs from on-the-counter or faucet systems, which likely use electrolysis to increase the pH levels. Instead, Water Tree’s system purifies the water and then increases pH or adds minerals by filtering the purified water through a mixture of natural materials.
“Your body is intended to have a certain amount of minerals and food and everything else in order for you to work right,” he said. “So as you partake of good water that has good pH, your body's going to go, ‘wow.’”
Since he opened his doors, Todd said people have brought him samples of the tap water they get at home or various bottled waters they drink to test with the electrolyzer.
“You can buy bottled water of all different kinds with different pH’s and everything else, right? The question is, how good really is the water?” Todd asked.
He said only one person had water come out as clear as his, using a similar at-home filtration system.
If people do not wish to install the full system at home, they can purchase the various levels of alkaline water Todd offers at the store. Customers bring their water jugs and fill them with their desired water at a set rate. And on days the store is closed, customers are welcome to use the taps outside the building.
Todd described himself as self-taught when it comes to building things and working with his hands. He renovated the inside of his shop himself, and custom-rigged the water taps on his own. He credited his architect father ,along with the 20 years he spent troubleshooting weapon systems in the U.S. Air Force, for his knowledge.
He underscored that he is retired, but opened Water Tree Las Cruces to meet the needs of his wife, who is in remission, and others in Las Cruces.
“I'm not going to promise you a miracle because it's not miracle water. It's here to help. Everyone is different,” Todd said. “It's just like some drugs help some people but they don’t do a thing for others. It's no different.
