Alkaline, Alkalinity, & “Alkalyzed”

ByMHI

Introduction It’s almost impossible to have a conversation about ionized water without hearing the terms alkaline, alkalinity, or alkalized (also misspelled as “alkalyzed”). Distributors/marketers and sales agents will frequently use the phrase “the alkalinity of the water” when what they are really referring to is its higher pH. The Root of the Confusion One cannot look…

Strong Alkaline Water

ByMHI

FUNCTIONAL WATERS Some commercial water ionizers allow you to add sodium chloride (NaCl) to the source water, which increases the conductivity of the water resulting in functional waters called strong acidic water (produced at the anode) and strong alkaline water (produced at the cathode).1 PROPERTIES OF STRONG ALKALINE WATER Electrolyzed alkaline water is produced via electrolysis of a NaCl…

Strong Acidic Water from MHI – Efficiency Redefined

ByMHI

FUNCTIONAL WATERS Some commercial water ionizers allow you to add sodium chloride (NaCl) to the source water, which increases the conductivity of the water, resulting in functional waters called strong alkaline water (produced at the cathode) and strong acidic water (produced at the anode).1 STRONG ACIDIC WATER Strong acidic water, known as electrolyzed oxidizing water (EOW) in the…

The Science Behind Mildly Acidic Water from MHI

ByMHI

HISTORY Mildly acidic water is produced from water ionizers, which use the process of electrolysis. Acidic water is produced at the positive electrode (anode). The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (JMHLW) approved this water in 1965, as an astringent for beauty purposes.1 The JMHLW also approved the alkaline and strongly acidic waters as medical substance. CLAIMED BENEFITS OF…

Alkaline Ionized Water History And Medical Approval

ByMHI

BRIEF HISTORY Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) is the most common term in the scientific literature.1ERW has an alkaline pH (8-10) and contains molecular hydrogen.1Water ionizers were invented in the early 1900’s. Research on electrolyzed water started around 1931 in Japan where it gained popularity in the 1950’s.2 Around this time, the water was touted as having “healing effects”…

Water: A Molecule Of Life

ByMHI

WATER IMPORTANCE Water is the universal solvent;1 it can exist as a solid, liquid or gas.2 It is necessary for the functions of life3 and for life to function.4 Water is the life-giving fluid that is always at the heart of creation.5 Its presence supports life, and its absence brings death.6  Water in liquid state is the principle criteria for…
