From their site:

The pH strips (or Litmus Paper) which are commonly used to test the pH of urine or saliva cannot test accurately on waters as pure as Essentia. In order to accurately test the pH level of any purified water, a calibrated pH meter must be used. Furthermore, many paper test kits require a Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) of at least 150ppm for an accurate reading; Essentia consistently has less than 90ppm, due in part to the purified water used in our proprietary process. This level of TDS is required during ionization for the removal of acidic ions. Please find attached a detailed PDF explaining how to test purified waters. Learn more.

Not a chemist, but some marketing person thought it sounded too cool to not slap on their packaging.

almost read that as ‘too alkaline to test with pH strips.’ Would not drink that water.
