Water Ionizers are speedily becoming recognized as one of the important health products in the U.S.A. market. In Japan where water ionization got its beginnings, approximately one out of every five homes owns a Water Ionizer. In the United States approximately one out of 18,000 homes owns a water ionizer. The Japanese are notorious for their healthy living and longevity. Perhaps there is a lesson for us in these statistics.

A water ionizer is an appliance slightly larger than a toaster that sits on the kitchen counter next to the sink. Some models now are designed to fit underneath the sink.

Water Ionizers should be considered as something every family ought to have in their home. Water Ionizers provide an impressive system for purifying drinking water and creating healthy Alkaline water that is loaded with Antioxidants and Minerals. As the term ionization suggests, the nature of ionized water molecules is altered or restructured. Water Ionizers change the molecular structure of water as the water passes through the water machine by applying electricity to the water as it passes over highly charged electrolysis plates where the electrical charge causes some of the water molecules to be separated from H2O into H+ and OH- ions. While there is only one source water supply leading into the water ionizer machine, there are two water outputs. One output has a predominance of H+ ions while the other output has a predominance of OH- ions. The water that is strong in H+ is acidic while the OH- water is Alkaline. Several types of ionized water can be created by a water ionizer.

High quality water ionizers can make water ranging from a strong Acidic pH of 2.5 all the way up to a strong Alkaline pH of 11.5. Alkaline water all the way up to 9.5 can be used for drinking water. The other varieties of water produced by the water ionizer can be used for cooking, cleaning, and external use like a Beauty Water of 5.5 pH for washing the face and hair. High quality water ionizers that produce Kangen Water (tm of Enagic) also produce an abundance of Antioxidants in the Alkaline water which will slow down the aging process for the reason that the Antioxidants neutralize the potentially harmful activity of Free Radicals in your cells.

High quality water ionizers also make a strong negative Oxidative Reduction Potential called ORP. The stronger the negative value of ORP the better the water will be in reducing oxidation. Because oxidation is the aging process, water with a strong negative ORP is better for good health. Because most of the types of drinking water usually found in homes, restaurants and stores have a positive ORP which indicates the water contributes to oxidation, a high quality water ionizer can be an important investment for your family as part of your anti-aging strategy. Not all water ionizers produce a strong negative ORP, so it is extremely important to check out the water ionizer specifications first before acquiring an ionizer. Sadly, many people quickly become disappointed when they procure a less expensive Water Ionizer only to find out their new machine is not reliable in producing alkaline pH water or a strong negative ORP, and the excellent results they were expecting to receive will not be realized without the correct water stats.
