What is Ionized Water?

• Alkaline Ionized Mineral Water – Used for drinking
• Acidic Ionized Mineral Water – Used for sanitation

Alkaline Minerals	Acidic Minerals
Calcium	Mercury
Magnesium	Boron
Zinc	Sodium
Iron	Fluride

Minerals in water become ionized when they gain or lose an electron. The alkalinity or acidity of the minerals in ionized water is changed by ionizing the minerals in the water. Home water ionizers use a process called electrodialysis to ionize water. The process makes both alkaline and acidic waters at the same time because it depends on a special membrane (called a cation-exchange membrane) in the ionizer that causes the minerals found in the water to separate into two sides. Alkaline minerals have a negative charge, and acidic minerals have a positive charge.

The minerals found in alkaline water are beneficial, and necessary for your good health. A water ionizer simply concentrates those minerals in your drinking water for you, and puts a negative electrical charge on the minerals.
The negative charge on the minerals is very beneficial to your health. Doctors refer to it as negative Oxidation Reduction Potential, or ORP for short. ORP measures the ability of the water to donate its negative electrical charge to positively-charged molecules, which are called oxidants. Oxidants in the body are called free radicals, they are considered to be a significant factor in aging and disease. Drinking alkaline ionized water with negative ORP is believed to counter the damaging effects of free radicals in the body.
