What is Alkaline Water?

Simply put, alkaline water is plain water that has gone through the process of electrolysis, or ionization. (Alkaline water is sometimes referred to as ionized water.) During this process, the water is split into two streams — alkaline water and acid water.

Before going through this process, ordinary tap water has a neutral pH.

During ionization, water is split into acid and an alkaline streams. In the case of a water ionizer, the alkaline stream is dispensed and the acid stream is discarded. (Or if you chose to dispense acid water, then the alkaline water is discarded.)

Another important property of alkaline water is microclustering. Tap water tends to come in large clusters of 10 to 13 molecules. Ionization breaks up these clusters into smaller groups called microclusters. These tiny clusters permeate through cell walls faster, resulting in quicker hydration as well as easy solubility.

Alkaline water is not a chemical, nor does it have any added to it. Alkaline water is simply water with smaller molecules and a higher pH.
