How to Make Ionized Water Machines

Many people prefer to drink ionized water, which has a lower pH than ordinary drinking water due to the breakdown of hydroxyl ions. The belief is that ionized drinking water, among other things, helps to maintain the proper acid levels within your body. A water ionizer, as the name suggests, is a machine that aids in the ionization if drinking water. There are numerous commercial ionizers available on market. However, building your own water ionizer is not a very challenging procedure and can be done at home.

Things You'll Need

• Two 1 gallon plastic storage containers
• Electric wire
• One 2-inch PVC pipe
• 12V or 24V power adapter
• Section of chamois (slightly larger than PVC pipe)
• Two crocodile clips
• Two 0.5 inch by 0.75 inch titanium electrodes

Instructions

Building a Water Ionizer

• 1

  Place the two 1-gallon plastic containers next to each other and cut a 2-inch hole in both. Place the containers with the cut holes facing.

• 2

  Insert the section of chamois into the PVC pipe so it fits the entire width of the pipe. Run the pipe into the two holes you cut in the plastic containers.

• 3

  Attach the two titanium electrodes to electric wire.

• 4

  Connect one end of the crocodile clips to the 12V or 24V power adapter and the other end to the electrical wire attached to the titanium electrodes.

• 5

  Place a titanium electrode connected to a crocodile clips in each of the 1-gallon containers.

• 6

  Fill the plastic containers with water and switch on the power adapter. This starts the ionization process.

• 7

  Wait about 2 hours until the water separates into the two different containers. One of the plastic containers will have water that is brown and murky while the other will have clean, clear water that has been ionized and can be consumed.
