Frequently Asked Question for Water Ionizer
Q: How to produce ionized water?
Provide direct current to both poles of the electrolytic
cell in which the diaphragm is installed. The movement
of electrons gives the water at (+) pole more hydrogen
ions, and the (-) pole more oxalic acid ions. These
hydrogen and oxalic acid ions activate, and the water
with more hydrogen ions and dissolved oxygen becomes
acidic, and the water with more oxalic acid ions becomes
alkaline. Alkaline ionized water contains much inorganic
mineral and becomes drinking water. The acidic ionized
water has sterilization effect and can be used for
healing skin problems. Acidic ionized water is also
compatible with outside of the human body acidity of
pH5.5 and it is used as face and body wash for beautiful
skin, and hair protection.
Q: Where are Water Ionizers currently
manufactured?
Water Ionizers are manufactured in two countries,
Japan and Taiwan. None are currently manufactured in the
United States. There are water ionizers on the market
being sold as American Made, however all their parts are
imported from Japan, sometimes Taiwan, and simply
assembled in the US.
Q: The Feature of alkaline water?
1)Little cluster
Motility improves when the molecular cluster is smaller.
Small clusters make it easier to dissolute and excrete
waste matter within the body. This fact is important
because excess waste matter is the reason for aging and
disease. Alkaline ionized water has small clusters with
high motility and dissolute, so you excrete waste matter
from the body rapidly.
2) Abundant active mineral Minerals are also called
inorganic matter or mineral matter. There are many kinds
of minerals. They are found in animals and vegetables,
food and water. These minerals smoothen our living
activities and maintain a balance. ; Mineral absorption
- Activated form of minerals are much better absorbed in
the body.
3) Good restoration
Controls saprogenic bacteria in organs and increases
beneficial bacteria.
There are about 100 kinds of bacteria, up to a trillion
microorganisms living in the large intestine, and are
classified as both beneficial and harmful depending on
the bacteria species. Alkaline ionized water controls
the saprogenic bacteria to prevent disease. Alkaline
ionized water is the only water that can restore and
help beneficial bacteria in the body.
Eliminates active oxygen
Active oxygen is oxygen that easily bonds or combines
with surrounding substances. Active oxygen is unstable
and therefore has with fewer electrons. The active
oxygen possesses higher oxidizing power, and is related
directly to aging and disease.
4) Abundant hexagonal water
Water molecules consist of 13 ~ 15 molecules. Hexagonal
water, water clustered with 6 water molecules, is the
most stable and natural to the human body. One human
body cell molecule is connected to about 70,000, 60~65%
of them are hexagonal water molecules. The body favors
this kind of water. The cell that suffers with diseases
has less hexagonal water.
- Lower the temperature of water like iced water.
- Electrolyze water with abundant mineral.
- Go through magnetic treatment.
Q: How long have Water Ionizers been on Market ?
Water Ionizers have been available in the orient for
over forty years and in the United States for about 10
years. They were popularized in Japanese and began to
become somewhat common there around the mid 1980's.
Several Japanese models imported in recent years from
Japan are no longer being manufactured although getting
filters for those units usually does not pose a
significant problem, although they can sometimes be
costly.
Q: What is pH?
1) Acidity and alkalinity
pH= the unit that indicates the density of acid and
alkaline in water.
Water becomes acidic with increased oxalic acid, and
alkaline with increased hydrogen ions. The measuring
unit of acidity and alkalinity is indicated by pH
values, e.g., pH 7 is considered neutral. Each numerical
increment indicates 10 times more hydrogen ions or
oxalic acid. For example, an increase of 1 in a pH table
means 10 times more alkalinity. A decrease of 1 means 10
times more acidity.
2) Maintaining pH balance
The human body tends to maintain body fluid at pH7.3
according to the homeostasis function. The body tries to
maintain the balance of each organ with alkaline body
fluid of pH8.8 from the pancreases as the peak. However,
consistent acidic constitution will result in lowering
one's self-protection function in the body. Even though
there is no visible sign of disease, alkaline water
drinking will support the body with homeostasis
functions. Alkaline water drinking also prevents
geriatric disease because it defends the body against
acidification of the physical constitution.
Q: Should a Water Ionizer have a fuse or a circuit
breaker?
Water Ionizer should have a three prong plug and
thick electrical wire. Two prong plugs encourage
overheating as they do with any other appliance. It does
not matter whether a Water Ionizer has a fuse or a
circuit breaker, although circuit breaker Water Ionizers
often have thin electrical wires, two prong plugs and
weak transformers that overheat. Thus they often require
a circuit breaker rather than a fuse which would often
need to be replaced.
Q: Why do different Water Ionizers come with a
different selection levels of intensity?
Water Ionizer should have at least 3 levels of
intensity to chose from. This is mainly because Ionized
Water is extremely detoxifying and people who have
toxins built up in their system can suffer reactions
such as headaches or diarrhea. This is especially true
of the elderly because they often have built up many
toxins in their bodies over the years. Also those who
have a very poor diet or have taken a lot of medicine.
Having 4 levels simply offers the convenience of more
levels of strength to chose from, thus allowing people
to build their tolerance for Ionized Water more slowly
if they wish.
Q: Does the volume of water that a Water Ionizer
produces per minute an important feature to
consider? Are some Water Ionizers on the market stronger
than other Water Ionizers?
All home Water Ionizers currently manufactured that
deliver approximately 1 to 1 1/2 gallons per minute.
There is very little difference between the strength of
the various Water Ionizers on the market. Ionized Water
with a 10 pH or higher takes only a unflattering taste,
almost as though it is salty. The slower you run water
through a Water Ionizer, the stronger it will become
because the source water has more contact time with the
electrodes. This is why the flow rate of Water Ionizers
essentially does not matter. If you wish to drink strong
Ionized Water then running the source water through it
very slowly will accomplish this.
Q: Does it matter what the electrodes on a Water
Ionizer are composed of?
The electrodes are one of the most important
components of a Water Ionizer. It is sometimes suggested
that there are units on the market that have stainless
steel electrodes and this simply is not the case. All
Water Ionizers currently manufactured have titanium
electrodes that have been dipped in platinum, which is
one of the biggest cost of a Water Ionizer. It is
important to note that the electrodes are coated with
platinum, not electroplated with it.
Q: There have been claims made by water ionizer
manufacturers that they use solid platinum electrodes.
Is this true?
This can not be true because it would not aid in the
performance of the water ionizer. Water Ionizer
manufacturers use titanium because it is hard and lasts
many years. They coat the titanium with platinum because
it is good conductor and it durable. However, to
manufacture electrodes that are solid platinum would
make no sense. It would be very costly, nearly tripling
the prices of the electrodes, and it would not improve
the quality or strength of the Ionized Water produced by
them. Platinum is also a very soft metal, which would
not be suitable or practical for producing platinum-pure
electrodes since they must be comprised of a hard metal
such as titanium if they are expected to last several
years. Electrodes comprised of pure platinum would not
last any longer than platinum-coated titanium
electrodes.
Q: Do all Water Ionizers have a carbon filter? Why
do some carbon filter have silver impregnation?
All continuous flow Home Water Ionizers on the
market have a carbon filter. The carbon in the filter is
silver impregnated in order to retard bacterial growth.
The silver that is impregnated in the carbon will NOT
leach into the water. Every major manufacturer of carbon
filters in the US produces carbon filters with silver
impregnation. There are no Water Ionizers currently
manufactured that use arsenic in their filters as has
been suggested.
Q: What is the advantage of having UV light on a
Water Ionizer?
The purpose of UV light is for bacterial
disinfection. However, on a Water Ionizer this is
completely unnecessary for several reasons. If you have
city (municipal) water then your water has already been
disinfected through the use of chlorine. The carbon
filter on the Water Ionizer will remove the chlorine.
The UV light itself loses much of its effectiveness
after the first six months of use and should be replaced
often, which is of course an expensive proposition.
Also, the glass tube that the water travels through in
order that it can be exposed to the UV light develops a
film on it after only a few months, which greatly
lessens the effectiveness of the UV light on the water
which passes through the tube.
Q: Do Water Ionizers remove fluoride from the water
as some have claimed?
There have been statements made regarding Water
Ionizers removing fluoride from municipal water. Water
Ionizers can not remove anything from the water. To
Ionize means simply to gain or loose an electron. The
amount and type of minerals that are present in the
water before ionization is the same after ionization. In
every test we are aware of, no more than 50% of the
fluoride in the water was lost on the alkaline side of
the Ionized Water. This means that half but not all of
the fluoride in the Ionized Water after ionization had
migrated to the acidic side of the ionization process
which runs into the drain. However, it must be clearly
stated that the ionizing water does NOT completely
remove fluoride from the Ionized Water on the alkaline
side.
Q: Why drink alkalized water?
Our bodies should have a blood pH value of 7.36 to
7.44
Due to our modern lifestyles and consumption of
meats, dairy, coffee & processed sugars, these create
acidic ash in the body. Even the water we drink can be
acidic adding to the body’s attempts to maintain its
natural pH value. (click
