Reverse Concept of drinking Ionized Water
from Alkaline to ORP
Oxidation Reduction Potential, not pH, is the
crucial factor
Traditionally we have judged the properties of
water from the standpoint of pH, in other words whether water
is acidic or alkaline. According to Dr. Yoshiaki Matsuo
Ph.D.., the inventor of the IONIZER WATER unit, "In my
opinion, Oxidation Reduction
Potential is more important than pH. The importance of pH is
over emphasized. For
example, the average pH of blood is 7.4 and acidosis or
alkalosis are defined according to deviation within the range
of 7.4 +- 0.005. But nothing has been discussed about ORP
(Oxidation Reduction Potential) of water. "
For instance, the PH of tap water is about PH7, and
we adding sodium hydroxide to the tap water it will be
alkaline water the PH about 8 to 10, adding hydrogen chloride
to tap water it will be acidic water the PH about 4 to 2.5. We
use the ORP meter will know both the alkaline or acidic water
are positive charge of ORP.

We have the responsibility to let you know that why
you need to drink the ionized water for prevent the diseases.
And everyone should reverse the concept of drinking ionized
water is all about alkaline water. Actually, the precious of
ionized water is the negative charge of ORP can reduce the
free-radical.
Simply compare with mineral bottle
water
We are now in the midst of a water theory. In
Taiwan and other
countries consumers are buying various kinds of bottled and
canned water even though water is one of our most abundant
vital resources. Research data reveals that mineral waters
have an ORP of +200 MV to +400MV. We bought 20 different
mineral water to measure what about their PH and
ORP.

The bottle water slightly lower than the +500 MV
measured for ordinary tap water. We can say that at least
mineral water is marginally better than tap water from the
viewpoint of ORP. Compared to any processed water for sale,
however, IONIZED WATER with its reduction potential of -250 to
-400 mV is beyond comparison due to its ability to scavenge
active oxygen radicals.
The "superoxide anion radical; O2-" are called
oxygen radicals or free radicals. Reduced free radicals food
we named it SOD food ( Superoxide dismutase), therefore, we
should named the ionized alkaline water SOD water or redox
water.
Drinking ionized water for prevent the diseases
theory is by Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D. (the theory in next
page).
All this fact has been
demonstrated and proved by National Taiwan University made from
January through July 1995 by Dr. Lu. Dr. Lu. took 100 of the
pancreatitis patient’s blood sample and found the "superoxide
anion radical; O2-" in the blood. And he adding the ionized
water into the 100 blood samples. The results are very sharked
of that experiment. Dr. Lu. proved that adding the ionized
water makes the "superoxide anion radical; O2-" less 95% to
60% and the average are less 75%. Which means that drinking
the ionized water will reduced the free radicals in the
body.
What are free radicals?
The "superoxide anion radical; O2-" , H2O2 (
Hydrogn peroxide) or HO (Hydroxyl radical) are called oxygen
radicals or free radicals considered to inactivate enzymes in
the cell, damage DNA and destroy lipid membranes which might
cause every disease.
Aging as well as cancer as far as the most recent
medical science is concerned. Let me try again to explain the
mechanism of getting sick and recovered of them by using
chemical formulae in wider definition of redox
reaction.
Oxidation takes place when O2 or free radicals
remove electrons or protons from bio-molecules one after
another by bringing them to sickness, as described
below:
(1) O2 +
e-
→ O2-
(2) O2- + e- +
2H+ → H2O2
(3) H2O2 +
e-
→ HO + HO-
(4) HO + e- +
H+ → H2O
( e-:electron, H+: proton
)
First of all, this theory is by Dr. Hidemitsu
Hayashi, M.D. He is the Heart Specialist and director of the
water institute of Japan.
Ionized Water Explained
by Dr. Hayashi
Water, the chemistry of life
Whenever we attempt to determine whether there is
life as we know it on Mars or other planets, scientists first
seek to establish whether or not water is present. Why?
Because life on earth totally depends on water.
A High percentage of living things, both plant and
animal are found in water. All life on earth is thought to
have arisen from water. The bodies of all living organisms are
composed largely of water. About 70 to 90 percent of all
organic matter is water.
The chemical reactions in all plants and animals
that support life take place in a water medium. Water not only
provides the medium to make these life sustaining reactions
possible, but water itself is often an important reactant or
product of these reactions. In short, the chemistry of life is
water chemistry.
Water, the universal
solvent
Water is a universal, superb solvent due to the
marked polarity of the water molecule and its tendency to form
hydrogen bonds with other molecules. One water molecule,
expressed with the chemical symbol H2O, consists of 2 hydrogen
atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
Standing alone, the hydrogen atom contains one
positive proton at its core with one negative electron
revolving around it in a three-dimensional shell. Oxygen, on
the other hand, contains 8 protons in its nucleus with 8
electrons revolving around it. This is often shown in chemical
notation as the letter O surrounded by eight dots representing
4 sets of paired electrons.
The single hydrogen electron and the 8 electrons of
oxygen are the key to the chemistry of life because this is
where hydrogen and oxygen atoms combine to form a water
molecule, or split to form ions.
Hydrogen tends to ionize by losing its single
electron and form single H+ ions which are simply isolated
protons since the hydrogen atom contains no neutrons. A
hydrogen bond occurs when the electron of a single hydrogen
atom is shared with another electronegative atom such as
oxygen that lacks an electron.
Polarity of water
molecules
In a water molecule, two hydrogen atoms are
covalently bonded to the oxygen atom. But because the oxygen
atom is larger than the hydrogens, its attraction for the
hydrogen's electrons is correspondingly greater so the
electrons are drawn closer into the shell of the larger oxygen
atom and away from the hydrogen shells. This means that
although the water molecule as a whole is stable, the greater
mass of the oxygen nucleus tends to draw in all the electrons
in the molecule including the shared hydrogen electrons giving
the oxygen portion of the molecule a slight electronegative
charge.
The shells of the hydrogen atoms, because their
electrons are closer to the oxygen, take on a small
electropositive charge. This means water molecules have a
tendency to form weak bonds with water molecules because the
oxygen end of the molecule is negative and the hydrogen ends
are positive.
A hydrogen atom, while remaining covalently bonded
to the oxygen of its own molecule, can form a weak bond with
the oxygen of another molecule. Similarly, the oxygen end of a
molecule can form a weak attachment with the hydrogen ends of
other molecules. Because water molecules have this polarity,
water is a continuous chemical entity.
These weak bonds play a crucial role in stabilizing
the shape of many of the large molecules found in living
matter. Because these bonds are weak, they are readily broken
and re-formed during normal physiological reactions. The
disassembly and re-arrangement of such weak bonds is in
essence the chemistry of life.
To illustrate water's ability to break down other
substances, consider the simple example of putting a small
amount of table salt in a glass of tap water. With dry salt
(NaCl) the attraction between the electropositive sodium (Na+)
and electronegative chlorine (Cl-) atoms of salt is very
strong until it is placed in water. After salt is placed in
water, the attraction of the electronegative oxygen of the
water molecule for the positively charged sodium ions, and the
similar attraction of the electropositive hydrogen ends of the
water molecule for the negatively charged chloride ions, are
greater than the mutual attraction between the outnumbered Na+
and Cl- ions. In water the ionic bonds of the sodium chloride
molecule are broken easily because of the competitive action
of the numerous water molecules.
As we can see from this simple example, even the
delicate configuration of individual water molecules enables
them to break relatively stronger bonds by converging on them.
This is why we call water the universal solvent. It is a
natural solution that breaks the bonds of larger, more complex
molecules. This is the chemistry of life on earth, in water
and on land.
Oxidation-reduction
reactions
Basically, reduction means the addition of an
electron (e-), and its converse, oxidation means the removal
of an electron. The addition of an electron, reduction, stores
energy in the reduced compound. The removal of an electron,
oxidation, liberates energy from the oxidized compound.
Whenever one substance is reduced, another is oxidized.
To clarify these terms, consider any two molecules,
A and B, for example.
When molecules A and B come into contact, here is
what happens:
- B grabs an electron from molecule A.
- Molecule A has been oxidized because it has lost
an electron.
- The net charge of B has been reduced because it
has gained a negative electron (e-).
In biological systems, removal or addition of an
electron constitutes the most frequent mechanism of
oxidation-reduction reactions. These oxidation-reduction
reactions are frequently called redox
reactions.
Acids and Bases
An acid is a substance that increases the
concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in water. A base is a
substance that decreases the concentration of hydrogen ions,
in other words, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions
OH-.
The degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution
is measured in terms of a value known as pH, which is the
negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen
ions:
pH = 1/log[H+] = -log[H+]
What is
pH?
On the pH scale, which ranges from 0 on the acidic
end to 14 on the alkaline end, a solution is neutral if its pH
is 7. At pH 7, water contains equal concentrations of H+ and
OH- ions. Substances with a
pH less than 7 are acidic because they contain a higher
concentration of H+ ions. Substances with a pH higher than 7
are alkaline because they contain a higher concentration of
OH- than H+. The pH scale is
a log scale so a change of one pH unit means a tenfold change
in the concentration of hydrogen ions.
Importance of balancing
pH
Living things are extremely sensitive to pH and
function best (with certain exceptions, such as certain
portions of the digestive tract) when solutions are nearly
neutral. Most interior living matter (excluding the cell
nucleus) has a pH of about 6.8.
Blood plasma and other fluids that surround the
cells in the body have a pH of 7.2 to 7.3. Numerous special
mechanisms aid in stabilizing these fluids so that cells will
not be subject to appreciable fluctuations in pH. Substances
which serve as mechanisms to stabilize pH are called buffers.
Buffers have the capacity to bond ions and remove them from
solution whenever their concentration begins to rise.
Conversely, buffers can release ions whenever their
concentration begins to fall. Buffers thus help to minimize
the fluctuations in pH. This is an important function because
many biochemical reactions normally occurring in living
organisms either release or use up
ions.

Oxygen: Too much of a good thing?
Oxygen is essential to survival. It is relatively
stable in the air, but when too much is absorbed into the body
it can become active and unstable and has a tendency to attach
itself to any biological molecule, including molecules of
healthy cells. The chemical activity of these free radicals is
due to one or more pairs of unpaired electrons.
About 2% of the oxygen we normally breathe becomes
active oxygen, and this amount increases to approximately 20%
with aerobic exercise.
Such free radicals with unpaired electrons are
unstable and have a high oxidation potential, which means they
are capable of stealing electrons from other cells. This
chemical mechanism is very useful in disinfectants such as
hydrogen peroxide and ozone which can be used to sterilize
wounds or medical instruments. Inside the body these free
radicals are of great benefit due to their ability to attack
and eliminate bacteria, viruses and other waste
products.
Active Oxygen in the
body
Problems arise, however, when too many of these
free radicals are turned loose in the body where they can also
damage normal tissue.
Putrefaction sets in when microbes in the air
invade the proteins, peptides, and amino acids of eggs, fish
and meat. The result is an array of unpleasant substances such
as:
- Hydrogen sulfide
- Ammonia
- Histamines
- Indoles
- Phenols
- Scatoles
These substances are also produced naturally in the
digestive tract when we digest food, resulting in the
unpleasant odor evidenced in feces. Putrefaction of spoiled
food is caused by microbes in the air; this natural process is
duplicated in the digestive tract by intestinal microbes. All
these waste products of digestion are pathogenic, that is,
they can cause disease in the body.
Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia are tissue toxins that
can damage the liver. Histamines contribute to allergic
disorders such as atopic dermatitis, urticaria (hives) and
asthma. Indoles and phenols are considered carcinogenic.
Because waste products such as hydrogen sulfide,
ammonia, histamines, phenols and indoles are toxic, the body's
defense mechanisms try to eliminate them by releasing
neutrophils (a type of leukocyte, or white corpuscle). These
neutrophils produce active oxygen, oddball oxygen molecules
that are capable of scavenging disintegrating tissues by
gathering electrons from the molecules of toxic cells.
Problems arise, however, when too many of these
active oxygen molecules, or free radicals, are produced in the
body. They are extremely reactive and can also attach
themselves to normal, healthy cells and damage them
genetically. These active oxygen radicals steal electrons from
normal, healthy biological molecules. This electron theft by
active oxygen oxidizes tissue and can cause
disease.
Because active oxygen can damage normal tissue, it
is essential to scavenge this active oxygen from the body
before it can cause disintegration of healthy tissue. If we
can find an effective method to block the oxidation of healthy
tissue by active oxygen, then we can attempt to prevent
disease.
Antioxidants block dangerous
oxidation
One way to protect healthy tissue from the ravages
of oxidation caused by active oxygen is to provide free
electrons to active oxygen radicals, thus neutralizing their
high oxidation potential and preventing them from reacting
with healthy tissue.
Research on the link between diet and cancer is far
from complete, but some evidence indicates that what we eat
may affect our susceptibility to cancer. Some foods seem to
help defend against cancer, others appear to promote it.
Much of the damage caused by carcinogenic
substances in food may come about because of an oxidation
reaction in the cell. In this process, an oddball oxygen
molecule may damage the cell's genetic code. Some researchers
believe that substances that prevent oxidation -- called
ANTIOXIDANTS -- can block the damage. This leads naturally to
the theory that the intake of natural antioxidants could be an
important aspect of the body's defense against cancer.
Substances that some believe inhibit cancer include vitamin C,
vitamin E, beta-carotene, selenium, and glutathione (an amino
acid). These substance are reducing agents. They supply
electrons to free radicals and block the interaction of the
free radical with normal tissue.
How we can avoid
illness
As we mentioned earlier, the presence of toxic
waste products such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, histamines,
indoles, phenols and scatoles impart an offensive odor to
human feces. In the medical profession, it is well known that
patients suffering from hepatitis and cirrhosis pass
particularly odoriferous stools.
Excessively offensive stools caused by the presence
of toxins are indicators of certain diseases, and the body
responds to the presence of these toxins by producing
neutrophil leukocytes to release active oxygen in an attempt
to neutralize the damage to organs that can be caused by such
waste products. But when an excess amount of such active
oxygen is produced, it can damage healthy cells as well as
neutralize toxins. This leads us to the conclusion that we can
minimize the harmful effect of these active oxygen radicals by
reducing them with an ample supply of electrons.
Water . . . the natural
solution
There is no substitute for a healthy balanced diet,
especially rich in antioxidant materials such as vitamin C,
vitamin E, beta-carotene, and other foods that are good for
us. However, these substances are not the best source of free
electrons that can block the oxidation of healthy tissue by
active oxygen.
Water treated by electrolysis to increase its
reduction potential is the best solution to the problem of
providing a safe source of free electrons to block the
oxidation of normal tissue by free oxygen radicals. We believe
that reduced water, water with an excess of free electrons to
donate to active oxygen, is the best solution because:
- The reduction potential of water can be
dramatically increased over other antioxidants in food or
vitamin supplements.
- The molecule weight of reduced water is low,
making it fast acting and able to reach all tissues of the
body in a very short time.

What is need water
ionizer
IONIZED WATER is the product of a specialized
electrolytic reaction which takes place in the IONIZED WATER
unit. The production of IONIZED WATER, its properties, and how
it works in the human body are described in the next section.
IONIZED WATER is treated tap water that has not only been
filtered, but has also been reformed in that it provides
reduced water with a large mass of electrons that can be
donated to active oxygen in the body to block the oxidation of
normal cells.
Tap water: What it is and
isn't
Normal tap water, for example, with a pH of 7 is
approximately neutral on the pH scale of 0 to 14. When
measured with an ORP (oxidation potential) meter its redox
potential is approximately +400 to +500 mV. Because it has a
positive redox potential, it is apt to acquire electrons and
oxidize other molecules. Reduced WATER IONIZER, on the
other hand, has a negative redox potential of approximately
-250 to -350 mV. This means it has a large mass of electrons
ready to donate to electron-thieving active oxygen.
Before discussing the properties of WATER
IONIZER further, let's take a look at what happens inside
the WATER IONIZER unit.
How the WATER IONIZER Unit
works
The WATER IONIZER is slightly taller and
thicker than a large dictionary on end, is an electrical
appliance connected to your kitchen water supply to perform
electrolysis on tap water before you drink it or use it in the
kitchen for cooking or cleaning.
A special attachment re-directs tap water out of
the faucet through a plastic hose into the unit. Inside
the WATER IONIZER unit, the water is first filtered
through activated charcoal. Next, the filtered water passes
into an electrolysis chamber equipped with an platinum-coated
titanium electrode where electrolysis takes place.
Cations, positive ions, gather at the negative
electrodes to create cathodic water (reduced water). Anions,
negatively charged ions, gather at the positive electrode to
make anodic water (oxidized water).
Through electrolysis, reduced water not only gains
an excess amount of electrons (e-), but the cluster of H2O
seem to be reduced in size from about 10 to 13 molecules per
cluster to 5 to 6 molecules per cluster.
The reduced water comes out of the faucet, and the
oxidized water comes out of a separate hose leading into the
sink. You can use the reduced water for drinking or cooking.
The oxidation potential of the oxidized water makes it a good
sterilizing agent, ideal for washing hands, cleaning food or
kitchen utensils, and treating minor wounds.
What the WATER IONIZER Unit
Produces
Redox potential
comparison
After electrolysis of the water inside the
WATER IONIZER unit, reduced water comes out of the cathodic
side and oxidized water comes out of the anodic side. Compare
these measurements of these three types of water: tap water
before electrolysis, the reduced water, and the oxidized
water.
Redox potential, not pH, is the crucial
factor
Traditionally we have judged the properties of
water from the standpoint of pH, in other words whether water
is acidic or alkaline. According to Dr. Yoshiaki Matsuo PhD.,
a contributing the inventor of the WATER IONIZER unit,
"In my opinion, redox potential is more important than pH.
The importance of pH is over emphasized. For example, the
average pH of blood is 7.4 and acidosis or alkalosis are
defined according to deviation within the range of 7.4 +-
0.005. But nothing has been discussed about ORP, or
oxidation-reduction potential."
The pH of tap water is about pH 7, or neutral. When
tap water is electrolyzed into WATER IONIZER, its
reduced water has a pH of about 9 and the oxidized water a pH
of about 4. Even if you make alkaline water of pH 9 by adding
sodium hydroxide or make acidic water of pH 3 by adding
hydrogen chloride, you will find very little change in the ORP
values of the two waters. On the other hand, when you divide
tap water with electrolysis you can see the ORP fluctuate by
as much as +- 1,000 mV. By electrolysis we can obtain reduced
water with negative potential that is good for the
body.
USING WATER IONIZER
UNIT
What WATER IONIZER
Does
The WATER IONIZER unit produces two kinds of
water with different redox potentials, one with a high
reduction potential and the other with a high oxidation
potential.
Reduced Water
When taken internally, the reduced WATER
IONIZER with its redox potential of -250 to -350 mV readily
donates its electrons to oddball oxygen radicals and blocks
the interaction of the active oxygen with normal
molecules.
A biological molecule (BM) remains intact and
undamaged.
Undamaged biological molecules are less susceptible
to infection and disease. The WATER IONIZER gives up an
extra electron and reduces the active oxygen (AO), thus
rendering it harmless. The AO is reduced without damaging
surrounding biological molecules. Substances which have the
ability to counteract active oxygen by supplying electrons are
called scavengers. Reduced water, therefore, can be called
scavenging water.
When taken internally, the effects of reduced water
are immediate. WATER IONIZER inhibits excessive
fermentation in the digestive tract by reducing indirectly
metabolites such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, histamines,
indoles, phenols and scatoles, resulting in a cleaner stool
within days after reduced water is taken on a regular basis.
In 1965 the Ministry of Welfare of Japan announced
that reduced water obtained from electrolysis can prevent
abnormal fermentation of intestinal microbes.
Oxidized Water
Oxidized water with its redox potential of +1100 mV
is an oxidizing agent that can withdraw electrons from
bacteria and kill them. The oxidized water from the
WATER IONIZER unit can be used to clean hands, kitchen
utensils, fresh vegetables and fruits, and to sterilize
cutting boards and minor wounds. Tests have shown that
oxidized water can be used effectively to treat athlete's
foot, minor burns, insect bites, scratches, and so on.
Other apparatus are capable of producing super
oxide water with a redox potential of +1,100 mV or more, and a
pH lower than 2.7. Tests have shown that this superoxide water
can quickly destroy MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus
Aureus).
Although super oxide water is a powerful
sterilizing agent, it won't harm the skin. In fact, it can be
used to heal. Superoxide water has proven effective in
American and Japanese hospitals in the treatment of bedsores
and operative wounds with complicated infections.
Another application of superoxide water is in the
field of agriculture where it has been used effectively on
plants to kill fungi and other plant diseases. Superoxide
water is non-toxic, so agricultural workers can apply it
without wearing special protective equipment because there is
no danger of skin or respiratory damage. An added benefit of
using superoxide water to spray plants is that there is no
danger to the environment caused by the accumulation of toxic
chemicals in the ground.
WATER IONIZER superior to
antioxidant diet
Today we read much about correct dieting principles
and paying attention to what we eat in order to stay healthy.
This is a sensible practice, but it is surprising that many of
us don't realize that the bulk of what eat is composed of
water. Vegetables and fruits are 90% water; fish and meat are
about 70% water as well.
Even advocates of the importance of vitamin C in
diet staples have to admit that its potency, namely, the redox
potential of this important vitamin, rapidly diminishes with
age and preparation for the dining table. Carbohydrates, the
main consistent of vegetables and fruit, has a molecular
weight of 180 whereas water has a much lower molecular weight
of 18.
WATER IONIZER, with its low molecular weight
and high reduction potential, makes it a superior scavenging
agent of active oxygen. But electrolysis inside the
WATER IONIZER unit not only charges the reduced water with
electrons, it also reduces the size of reduced water molecule
clusters.
NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) analysis reveals
that tap water and well water consists of clusters of 10 to 13
H20 molecules. Electrolysis of water in the unit reduces these
clusters to about half their normal size -- 5 to 6 water
molecules per cluster.
As the graph shows, the NMR signal that measures
cluster size by line width at half-amplitude shows 65 Hz for
reduced water and 133 Hz for tap water, revealing that the
reduced water clusters are approximately half the size of tap
water clusters.
This is why WATER IONIZER is more readily
absorbed by the body than untreated tap water. WATER
IONIZER quickly permeates the body and blocks the oxidation of
biological molecules by donating its abundant electrons to
active oxygen, enabling biological molecules to replace
themselves naturally without damage caused by oxidation that
can cause diseases.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Upstream and downstream
theory
Prevent disease at the
source
According to Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, Director of the
Water Institute of Japan, "To eliminate the pollutants in a
large stream that is contaminated at its source, we must work
on the problems upstream at the headwaters -- the source of
the pollution -- not downstream where we can only try to treat
the evidence of damage caused by the pollution. WATER
IONIZER's contribution to preventive medicine is essentially
upstream treatment."
Upstream
According to our model, we consider the digestive
tract upstream where we intake water and food. Although many
people today in developed countries are
growing more skeptical about what they eat, they
tend to concentrate more on what the food contains rather than
the metabolized products of foods in the digestive
tract.
Upstream
For example, consider the typical balanced diet of
meat and vegetables. Meat protein is metabolized into amines
while nitrates from fertilizers used to grow vegetables
metabolize into nitrites in the digestive tract. These amines
and nitrites combine to form nitrosamine, a recognized
carcinogen.
We've already discussed that odoriferous feces are
evidence of excessive fermentation in the digestive tract, so
reduced water performs a very important function upstream in
the digestive tract by reducing this excessive fermentation as
evidenced by cleaner stools within days of starting a steady
regimen of reduced water.
Downstream
Downstream from the digestive tract, starting at
the liver, reduced water quickly enters the liver and other
organs due to, first, its lower molecular weight, and,
secondly, the size of its clusters. At tissue sites throughout
the body, reduced water with its safe, yet potent reduction
potential readily donates its passenger electrons freely to
active oxygen and neutralizes them so they cannot damage the
molecules of healthy cells. Normal cells are protected from
the electron thievery of active oxygen and allowed to grow,
mature, function and regenerate without interference from
rogue, oddball oxygen radicals which tend to steal the
electrons from the molecules of normal, healthy biological
molecules.
The water boom
We are now in the midst of a water boom. In
Japan and other
countries consumers are buying various kinds of bottled and
canned water even though water is one of our most abundant
vital resources. Research data reveals that mineral waters may
have an ORP of +200 mV, slightly lower than the general +400
mV measured for ordinary tap water. We can say that at least
mineral water is marginally better than tap water from the
viewpoint of ORP. Compared to any processed water for sale,
however, WATER IONIZER with its general reduction
potential of -200 is beyond comparison due to its ability to
scavenge active oxygen radicals.
