Q: How does a water ionizer work?
A: Our counter top Alkaline LIFE Ionizer® 9000 can be directly
connected to a diverter valve at the end of your faucet.
Connecting directly to your faucet takes about 10-15 minutes
and enables your water ionizer to use a two step process.
The first task is to help filter out harmful components of the
water with our built-in dual filter system, which removes
chlorine, trihalomethanes, phenols, sediment, odor, taste,
and organic waste. The LIFE Ionizer® achieves this by using
multi-stage filters. Then the filtered water passes into a
patented chamber equipped with platinum-coated titanium
plates. Next, an electrical charge is introduced into this
water. This is where the electrolysis takes place. The water
is separated into two streams (acid and Alkaline) of Ionized
water. The acid water (oxidized) makes up about 30% of
the water and the Ionized Alkaline Water 70%. The reduced
Ionized Alkaline Water comes out of the faucet, which you
use for drinking or cooking. The acid (oxidized) water comes
out of a separate hose leading into the sink. The oxidation
potential of the acid water makes it a good sterilizing agent,
ideal for washing your hands, cleaning food or kitchen
utensils, and treating minor wounds and eczema. Cations,
positively charged ions gather at the negative electrode
to create Ionized Alkaline Water, which concentrates
available Alkaline minerals, such as calcium, magnesium
and potassium from the source water. Anions, negatively
charged ions gather at the positive electrode to make acid
or oxidized water, which concentrates acid minerals such as
nitrates, sulfides, chlorides, and fluorides from the source
water. Remember in chemistry class, opposites attract. A
range of pH settings from neutral to very Alkaline or very
acid is available at the touch of a button. The electrodes
are cleaned in an automatic cleaning cycle or you can also
