How Ionizers Work

 

First developed in Japan in the 1950s, water ionisers use an electrical charge to split water into alkaline water (with a pH above 7.0) and acidic water (with a pH below 7.0). The higher the pH of the drinking water, the more effective it is at combating the damaging effects of acids in the body.

• Water ionizers run water that has already been filtered to remove contaminants, over positive and negative electrodes in a process known as electrolysis.
   
• The electrodes ionise the water, negatively and positively, creating acidic and alkaline water at the same time.
   
• Acidic water is shunted into one chamber while alkaline water is diverted into another.

• Water molecules typically cluster in groups of 11 to 16 molecules
   
• Water ionisers break large water molecule clusters apart, creating smaller clusters of 5 to 6 molecules.
   
• Smaller clusters of water molecules are more easily absorbed at the cellular level, improving hydration and detoxification, as well as improving the delivery of nutrients at a cellular level.

Both alkaline and acidic water have benefits.

• Alkaline water is ideal for drinking, cleaning vegetables, and cooking. Its antioxidant properties promote health.
   
• Acidic water is a natural cleanser.
   
• The astringent properties of acidic water in the 4.0 to 6.0 range are ideal for cleaning and toning the skin.
   
• Used as a rinse when washing your hair, acidic water helps the scalp, reduces tangles and gives hair a radiant shine. It also helps the hair and skin of pets.
   
• In higher concentrations, acidic water has strong disinfecting properties and can be used for cleaning around the house and for cleaning toothbrushes, hands, and even as a mouth wash.

Only water ionisers both clean and ionise your drinking water for better health.
