Thanks

That's because of all the hype out there that is unsubstantiated.

Let me attempt to change your mind:

The best water sources around the world are alkaline. Be it in India, America, China, whatever, they are alkaline.

BUT, the idea is not about replicating its alkalinity, nor selling alkaline-ph water just for the sake of.

It's something different that works.

I'm talking vaguely here as I don't want people to catch on the idea.

That's the thing, why stop at dieting when you can extract the whole information like behavior, affinity or other phenotypes from the DNA. A single individual has the potential to generate thousands of dollars from their DNA data. This and times 1 billion middle class people, you can create a trillion dollar company.

Of course the DNA data can also be used to wipe an entire race of people in an extreme case. Imagine contaminating the water supply that only affect x race of people.

tl;dr

I believe its already in progress on a large scale, take for example Google's subidiary's acquisition of a DNA company.

my question was why 'step' on someone's idea but in the end intend to use that same idea you step on someone?
do you think end of the day you will not maximize your profit just like A****, C****, D****?

Just identifying a problem in the market. And to do that do I not have to make product comparisons and find flaws?

To maximize profit or not, it's such a prelim stage, will have to see.

how is it a problem to the market?

(1) Many people do not believe the hype. Just look at scientifically-valid criticisms on alkaline water by qualified scientists. I want my product to be able to withstand such criticisms. This not only allows me to target a wider market, but at the same time sleep better at night knowing that my product is scientifically-sound and based on evidence.

(2) Very expensive. I want to make it more affordable to the wider market as it will be good for health, while still making a profit.

(3) Other factors, too long to type here, especially if you're just commenting for argumentative sake.

have you done enough research for customer validation?

Nope.

But there are existing customers for a similar product, which is growing in size. That's a quick reference point

Marketing and PR can be strategised later, when we do get a working prototype.

better do some customer validation first.. unless you already have some huge grants on hand..

pure water should be 95% purity, crystallized and blue

You know Malaysians are an conservative bunch and very prone to scientific skepticism until their family, relatives and friends overwhelm their logic and rationality. owai

I have been drinking home-made distilled water for 2 years and it's the best water to drink. So many people want to capitalize on this simple basic need.

Bla bla bla

What's crystallized about? Blue is just the visual property of water.

You might want to switch to mineral water for a few months and see the difference. No need to thank me for this.

Not the best water based on my understanding. But feel free to post some real science here substantiating your belief.

First customer is myself, as it is based on evidence. After getting a working prototype then will think of funding.

The only good thing about these best, alkaline water sources is their taste and purity.

There is nothing special about alkaline.

I would suggest that you ditch this alkaline idea.

Get these scientists you're going to work with to research water taste. Good tasting water can wasily fit the hype of "good water". Maybe the smell (chlorine smells is bad), maybe the colour (very slight bluish tinge may infer a "clean" image.) Shit like that. It doesn't have to be actual changes to water. Maybe some light tricks to the container of the water could manifest such illusion without actually do anything to the water that has a potential of some lawsuits.

For purity, just devise some generic filtration system and youre good to go. Or just make a reverse osmosis machine, then have the machine do something about the taste later.

The rest, do whatever marketing gimmicks you want.

But, if youre looking to make something revolutionary, something that could cure cancer (or ambitious shit like that), out of plain water, youre out of luck.
