In recent years, the popularity of alkaline water ionizers has surged, with proponents claiming a myriad of health benefits. A water ionizer is a home appliance that is designed to alter the pH level of the water by using electrical process, typically from neutral pH (7.2) to alkaline levels pH(8-9.5). This process involves passing water through the electrical chamber that uses negative (cathode) electrodes and positive (anode) electrodes. In the electrical chamber, the electrical power separates the water into alkaline water near the negative electrodes and acidic water near the positive electrodes. Near the negative electrodes, the positively ionized minerals, such as calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K) andsodium (Na) and dissolved hydrogen produces the high pH alkaline water, whereas near the positive electrodes, negatively ionized minerals, such as chlorine (Cl), sulfur (S) and dissolved oxygen make the low pH acidic water.
Most of the branded products use electrodes made of anti-rust metal Titanium coated with Platinum.
