Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) is the most common term in the scientific literature. ERW has an alkaline pH and contains molecular hydrogen.
Mildly acidic water is produced from water ionizers, which use the process of electrolysis. Acidic water is produced at the positive electrode (anode).
Mildly alkaline water (pH 8-10) is marketed as healthy drinking water.1 It is produced from water ionizers via electrolysis.2Alkaline water containing molecular hydrogen is produced at the negative electrode (cathode).3
strong acidic water, known as electrolyzed oxidizing water (EOW) in the literature,2 is produced via electrolysis of a NaCl solution at the anode side.3 The resultant product is a solution of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) with a pH less than 2.7 and a positive ORP +1000 mV to +1600 mV.
Electrolyzed alkaline water is produced via electrolysis of a NaCl solution at the cathode side.2 The resultant product is a solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with a pH of 11-13.8 and a negative ORP of -750 to -900 mV3 due to the dissolved hydrogen gas.
