Are you looking to have alkaline water available at home? With so many options and varying prices in the market, how can you choose the right alkaline water Ionizer?
What is alkaline water?
Alkaline water is a functional water, distinct from regular filtered water. Typically, consumers expect that drinking alkaline water will have a positive impact on their overall health. The pricing for alkaline water varies significantly due to factors such as the origin, with options including products made in mainland China, Taiwan, or Japan, as well as the number of electrolysis stages. When selecting an alkaline water ionizer, the most important factor to consider is the ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) value.
What is the ORP, or Oxidation-Reduction Potential Ratio?
ORP stands for Oxidation Reduction Potential. The ORP meter is used to measure the oxidation and reduction levels of substances, represented in millivolts (mV).
( + ) The positive value indicates the presence of oxidizing properties, with higher numbers signifying stronger water oxidation.
( – ) The negative value indicates the water’s reductive capability, with a lower value signifying stronger antioxidant properties.
When the ORP, or Oxidation-Reduction Potential Ratio, is negative, it is commonly referred to as a “negative potential.”
Currently, the oxidation-reduction potential of household tap water typically ranges above +300MV. Furthermore, the higher the level of water pollution, the higher the positive value, indicating a greater oxidizing power.
Many of us are constantly exposed to oxidation, which leads to aging. Therefore, it’s beneficial to consume foods with antioxidant properties or drink water with a negative oxidation potential.
The electrolytic negative potential water possesses the following characteristics:
1. The alkaline ionized water contains higher levels of calcium and magnesium minerals, which are essential for the body.
2. The pH value of the negative ion water is alkaline.
3. Water with a negative electrical potential has a higher solubility and stronger permeability, which also possesses the ability to emulsify oils to some extent.
4. Negative potential water molecules are smaller than those in tap water and RO water, allowing for easier penetration into the body cells and quick absorption.
When selecting an alkaline water ionizer, it’s important to consider the ORP value of the alkaline water. Otherwise it would be a waste of money if the quality of alkaline water doesn’t significantly differ from regular water.
Here’s a comparison of various brands of alkaline water ionizer:
| Brand | Electrolyzer | Watt | ORP | Number of electrolysis stages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BUDER HI-TA817CW | 7 Platinum Plate | 262W | MAX-1000mV | 17 Stages |
| Panasonic TK-AS63-ZTA | 5 Platinum Plate | 240W | Not Shown | 7 Stages |
| Chanson PL-705 | 7 Platinum Plate | 185W | +10mV | 8 Stages |
| ACUO UA-6502JS-1 | Platinum electrode plate/ Horizontal disc radiation type | 80W | -400mV | 8 Stages |
