Thank-you Marshall, That is a great explanation, most info I look up is so technical, and I stink at chemistry.
Two more related questions - so when acidic water is metabolized, it has an acidic effect on the body, and vice versa with alkalized water? Or does it just depend on what's in the water making them acidic or alkalized? Thanks again!!!

It is the ash that is important. The ash is what is left after something is burned. Take lemon juice for example, it will alkaline minerals in it. But it contains citric acid and ascorbic acid. When they are burned (or metabolized) those are converted to water, neutral pH, and carbon dioxide which although acid when in solution is quickly exhaled, leaving behind the alkalizing minerals.
