4.6.
When producing silvered water (modification
KL
), the removable vessel (3) is not necessary.
The device control scheme does not allow to switch on the modes of production of ionized and
silvered water at one time.
5. PROPERTIES OF IONIZED WATER AND ITS APPLICATION
5.1.
Alkaline water (catholyte) -
a soft, odorless water having taste of rainwater. ORP values are negative
(1 table) and pH fluctuates from 8,0 to 11,0 pH (the bigger this number, the more alkaline water is). It is
a natural stimulator.
5.2.
Acidic water (anolyte) -
water having typical acid and weak chlorine odor. ORP values are positive (1
table) and pH fluctuates from 6,0 to 2,0 (the smaller this number, the more acidic water is). It is a
natural bactericide.
5.3.
Ionized water should be kept in tightly closed jars protecting it from direct sunlight. It not
recommended to keep it in refrigerator. Alkaline water preserves its properties for up to 3 days and
acidic water - for up to 7 days.
5.4.
Properties of ionized water are characterized by two indexes:
ORP
- oxidation- reduction potential and
pH Ç
hydrogen index. ORP is characterized by positive or negative charges (mV) that charge ionized
water (respectively a and catholyte -). pH values can fluctuate between 0 to 14 units. Potable
water is neutral, its pH is about 7,0. pH of alkaline water fluctuates from 8,0 to 11,0 pH (the bigger this
number, the more alkaline water is) and of pH of acidic water is from 6 to 2,4 pH (the smaller this
number, the more acidic water
5.5.
Table 1 presents the dependence of pH and ORP values on appliance running time. These pH and ORP
values have been obtained by analyzing water in ICP-MS Measurement Laboratory on Faculty of
Chemistry in Warsaw University. ORP values are given relatively to calomel electrode. Research report
is stored in the enterprise.

It is essential to know that a negative oxidation - reduction potential acquired by ionized alkaline water
lasts a relatively short period of time. Keeping the alkaline ionized water in a closed container from which water
is continuously used, after 24 to 36 hours the negative ORP value becomes practically zero or slightly positive.
(These water pH values - 8.5 to 9.5 Ä last a much longer period of time: 4-7 days). Therefore, ionized alkaline
water should be used as fresher as possible, or at least it should be used within 12 hours from its production.
Shops are available with ionized alkaline water in different containers, as indicated on the label.
However, this water, at best, can be considered
alkaline
, as the ORP value of the water shall not remain
negative.
6. PRODUCTION OF IONIZED WATER (MODIFICATIONS AL AND KL)
6.1.
Holding the lower container (1) on its handles (2) remove the enclosure (9) of the device.
6.2.
Make sure the partition with retainers of the removable vessel (4) is tightly inserted into the notches of
the vessel.
6.3.
Pour cold water from tap: first of all into the removable vessel (3) then into the lower vessel (1) up to
the lower marks (6).
6.4.
Put the enclosure (9) on the lower container (1) so that the dark electrode (8) would get into the
removable vessel.(3).
