What is a Water Ionizer?
A water ionizer is an electrical device that uses electrolysis to separate tap water into two distinct streams: alkaline ionized water and acidic ionized water. This process transforms ordinary tap water into powerful, health-promoting water with unique properties.
Key Components
- Electrodes: Platinum-coated titanium plates that conduct electricity.
- Electrolyzer Chamber: Where the electrolysis process occurs.
- Pre-filtration System: Removes contaminants while preserving minerals.
- Control Panel: Allows adjustment of pH and ORP levels.
The Ionization Process.
Transforming tap water into ionized water with enhanced properties through three distinct stages.
Two Distinct Streams.
Alkaline Ionized Water (Cathode -)
pH: 8-10 (alkaline)
ORP: Negative (-200 to -800 mV)
Properties: Antioxidant-rich, mineral-rich
Contains: Molecular hydrogen (H2), OH- ions, alkaline minerals
Benefits: Hydration, detoxification, antioxidant protection
Acidic Ionized Water (Anode +)
pH: 4-6 (acidic)
ORP: Positive (+200 to +800 mV)
Properties: Oxidizing, disinfectant
Contains: Oxygen gas (O2), H+ ions, acid-forming minerals
Uses: Cleaning, disinfection, skin care
