Explanation of Ionized Water
20
During electrolysis, the cathode has a negative charge and produces
alkaline ionized water (pH range 7.5~10) with negatively charged
hydroxyl ions, and attracts alkaline minerals - such as calcium,
potassium, magnesium, and sodium.
The anode has a positive charge and produces acidic ionized water
(pH range 3.5~6.5) with positively charged hydroxide ions and
attracts acidic minerals – such as chlorine, sulphur, phosphorus.
What is pH?
On the pH scale, which ranges from 0 on the acidic end to 14
on the alkaline end, a solution is neutral if its pH is 7.
At pH 7, water contains equal concentrations of H+ and OH-
ions. Substances with a pH less than 7 are acidic because they
contain a higher concentration of H+ ions.
Substances with a pH higher than 7 are alkaline because they
contain a higher concentration of OH- than H+. The pH scale
is a log scale so a change of one pH unit means a tenfold
change in the concentration of hydrogen ions.
The scale that is used for measuring the pH, or hydrogen ion
concentration ... is from 0 to 14, with 7
being the neutral point. Below 7 is acidic; above 7 is alkaline.
The optimal ph of the body's fluids, such as the blood is 7.4, slightly
alkaline.
If deviated from this range ...the bodies activity is no longer optimal
and the metabolism is out of balance as the body will begin to store
toxins in fat and move around acidic material
to keep the blood PH in balance.
The pH of the body is largely influenced by metabolic byproducts
and our diet.
Thus, pH is directly affected by the various categories of food that
we eat and the internal mechanisms involved in their processing.
Some foods that are acid in their
composition can become alkalizing following metabolizing by the
body, such as lemons. Accordingly, it is to become more aware of
the impact that various foods and our eating habits have on the
internal environment of the body.
From a lot of reading, this is my take on the subject.
First, your body has natural protectors to keep your blood pH in its
optimal range.
However, to do this, other things might have to give.
Perhaps if you are super acidic, you retain more weight because your
body stores excess acid that it could not get rid of by natural means,
in fat cells.
Also, stay "alkaline" does not mean that you have to only eat foods
that have an alkaline forming effect on your body. What it means, is
that you need to consumer slightly more alkaline forming food to
match with your body working to maintain a slightly alkaline state
as well.
Alkaline & Acidic Water Usage Guide
Alkalilne Water Usage Guide
1. If the machine has not been used for several days, let the water run on the "Purified Water" setting for at least 3-5
minutes before any operation.
2. First time users who are not familiar with this water are recommended to start with Ionized Alkaline Water level 1
and adjust the quantity or level of wate which might fit you the best. Increase slowly over time as your body adjusts.
(Level 1 is recommended for first time Alkaline Ionized water drinkers).
3. Store Ionized Alkaline Water in an airtight glass container and put it in a refrigerator for no longer than 2 days for
maximum benefit. The first 12 hours after ionization the water is most effective.
Acidic Water Usage Guide
Acidic water is not drinkable – DO NOT DRINK
1. Use acid water only for disinfecting, cleaning, plants and as a face/skin toner.
2. Acidic water properties are the best 1-7 days after ionization if it is put in an
airtight glass container and kept refridgerator.
Purified Water Usage Guide
1. Drink purified water with meals to allow your stomach acid to do its work
digesting your food.
2. It is best to drink purified water when taking medication.
3. Can a person drink Ionized Alkaline Water when on medication?
-Yes, as a precaution DO NOT DRINK Ionized Alkaline Water 45 minutes to one
hour before and after taking medication or supplements.
4. Children: Use purified water when preparing baby food.
Please note that water will come out of both spouts when dispensing water.
A) When the Alkaline button is pressed, Alkaline water will be dispensed from the top spout
and acid water will be dispensed from the bottom spout.
B) When the Acid button is pressed, Acid water will be dispensed from the top spout and
Alkaline water will be dispensed from the bottom spout.
C) When the purify button is pressed, purified water will be dispensed from the bottom and
top spouts.
