The properties of ionized water are characterized by two values: ORP - oxidation-reduction potential
and pH hydrogen ion value. ORP is characterized by positive or negative charges (mV) of ionized
water.
pH values can vary from 0 to 14. Drinking water is neutral, it’s pH is about 7.0. pH of alkaline water
is 7 - 12 and pH of acidic water is from 7 to 2 .
6.2
Alkaline water (catholyte) - is soft, odourless, tastes like rainwater. Its ORP values are negative, pH
fluctuates from 7 to 12 (the higher the number, the more alkaline water).
6.3
Acidic water (anolyte) - has a sour taste water with characteristic acid and weak chlorine odour. Its
ORP values are positive, pH fluctuates from 7 to 2 (the lower the number, the more acidic water). It
has bactericidal properties.
6.4
Ionized water should be stored in tightly closed containers protected from direct sunlight. It is not
recommended to store in a refrigerator.
6.5
Table 1 and table 2 present the dependence of pH and ORP values. These pH and ORP values have
been obtained by analyzing water in ICP-MS Measurement Laboratory on Faculty of Chemistry in
Warsaw University. Values in tables are showed taking into account the errors of measurements.
ORP values are given relatively to calomel electrode. Research report is stored in the enterprise.
Working time depend on salt content. Appliance will let you choose pH values with (17) and (18)
buttons by 0.2 unit. Water was tested with pH 7,4.

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 – last a much longer period of time: 4-7 days).
