How to Ionize Drinking Water

Water you drink is as significant as food to your general health. Nowadays, more and more people are consuming ionized water, which has lower pH levels as a result of breaking down of the hydroxyl ions into negatively charged hydrogen molecules. Some people consider that having ionized drinking water helps to maintain acidity levels in their body and helps digestion. Ionized water is being aggressively promoted in the United States and Japan. Ionization of water is not a very demanding process, and can be done at home.

Instructions

Ionizing drinking water

• 1

  Insert a pH test strip in the water to check its pH level. If the pH level is less than 8.0 range, ionization of the water is required.

• 2

  Attach a portable water-ionizing machine to your kitchen sink. Water ionizer utilizes low-voltage electric current to reduce water acidity and maintain the alkalinity, or base level, of your drinking water. Use of a water ionizer is one of the most popular methods to ionize drinking water. The only disadvantage is their cost.

• 3

  Pass drinking water through bio-ceramic filters. Bio-ceramic filters are made up of clay, stone and other minerals such as cobalt and magnetite. These filters create a magnetic field in the water and increase alkaline levels.

• 4

  Add two drops of alkaline concentrate liquid or an alkaline concentrate tablet per eight ounces of drinking water. Alkaline concentrates are available in liquid as well as tablet form.

• 5

  Attach an external magnetic ionizer to your water-supply pipes. These ionizers create a strong external magnetic field which helps increase alkaline levels in the water.

• 6

  Pass drinking water through a batch-unit ionizer. These ionizers re-ionize large volumes of water (up to one gallon). Batch-unit ionizers work through electrolysis to ionize your water. The process generally takes about 15-20 minutes to complete. Batch-unit ionizers are one of the less costly methods to ionize drinking water.
