The Ionized Water Generator technology produces 3 levels of alkaline water, ionized drinking water (neutral), beauty water (acidic).

Alkaline, ionized water assists the body in creating better balance or homeostasis. These general ideas will be of value.

When You First Start Drinking Alkaline-Ionized Water

Start with the 8.5 pH water and set a goal to drink ½ of your body weight in ounces each day (128-pound person = 64 ounces = 2 quarts). If you are participating in strenuous athletics, doing physically demanding work, or are dealing with a “sickness issue,” increase this to ¾ of your body weight in ounces (128-pound person = 96 ounces = 3 quarts).

Customers who drink ¾ of their body weight in ounces of alkaline-ionized water become highly enthusiastic about their alkaline water drinking experience.

After drinking the suggested amount of 8.0 to 8.5 water for 10 days, you may be ready to increase the pH up to the next setting, 9.0 pH. Continue drinking the suggested amount of water at this setting each day for 10 more days.

Then you may choose to move to the 9.5 to 10.0 pH water.

Cleansing Symptoms

Some people experience cleansing symptoms, which can result from a release of acidic wastes and stored toxins. If you experience cleansing symptoms (could include headaches, skin eruptions, loose bowels, even coughing) after you start on the first level (8.0 to 8.5 pH; depends on which unit you have) water, increase your water consumption to help flush your system.

If you experience these symptoms only after increasing the pH you are consuming, then go back to the setting you were able to drink without symptoms and increase your amount of water until those symptoms stop.

There is no prize for getting to a certain pH level quicker than someone else.

è For best results try to drink ¾ your body weight in ounces each day.

How To Use the “Other Waters”

Purified Water (7.0 pH water) - is obtained by pushing the Purified button. This water has been through the cleaning filter portion of the system but has not been through electrolysis. Use this type of water when taking prescription medication. At those times, stop drinking alkaline, ionized Water 10-15 minutes prior to taking your meds. Then give yourself 30 minutes before using alkaline, ionized Water. Also use 7.0 water when preparing Baby formula.

If you drink water with a meal containing a concentrated protein (steak, for example), use 7.0 water rather than alkaline, ionized Water with that meal.

Astringent (Beauty) Water 4.5 - 5.5 pH Astringent/Beauty Water – is made by pushing the Acidic button on the control panel and choosing an acidic number. Alternately, acidic water can be collected while making alkaline, ionized water. This is done by collecting the acidic water from the secondary faucet or hose (while taking alkaline, ionized drinking water from the primary). Astringent/Beauty water is extremely good for skin and hair. Spray it on, splash it on, soak in it…for the best looking/best feeling skin around! It is also an excellent mouthwash.

Specific Uses of the Various Waters

Fruits and Veggies - Acidic Water – Soak or spray foods for 2 to 3 minutes and stir the water to work it into rough textured produce like lettuce, broccoli, etc. to kill microbes. When finished with the acidic cleaning process, soak your foods in 9.5+ Alkaline Water for at least 5 minutes for additional cleaning, pesticide and herbicide removal, and oxidation protection (to enhance shelf life). You’ll see a change in the “waste water” color.

Floors and General Cleaning - Acidic Water – hardwood, ceramic tiles, windows, eyeglasses, dishes, and many other cleaning.

Acne – There are different ways to wash acne, depending on the type and severity. None of them will hurt you; so if one approach does not produce the desired result, try a different one. (1) Where there appears to be inflammation and infection, spray on the 5.5 pH Acidic Water and let it air dry. When it’s dry, apply a cloth soaked in 9.5+ pH Alkaline Water for at least 5 minutes. This helps neutralize acne-encouraging acids. Dry the area and spray on the 5.5 pH Astringent/Beauty Water and let dry. Repeat at least twice per day. (2) If there is no inflammation or infection, just use the Astringent/Beauty Water on the area.

From Ron Chaves: I am a testament to the benefits of spraying Acidic Water on Cold Sores.  It is important to start at the first sign of a sore and to spray it throughout the day. I use a 3 oz. sprayer. The results I have had are outstanding.

Psoriasis and Eczema – Approach is the same as is used for the nastier acne outbreaks, depending on severity. Customers report success from spraying with Acidic Water 3 to 6 times per day and air dry. Then apply a cloth soaked in strong Alkaline Water for at least 5 minutes. The goal is to neutralize the acids that are causing the outbreaks. Dry the area and then spray on the Acidic Water and allow to dry. Repeat at least twice per day. For best results, spray Acidic Water on the area at least every 2 waking hours.

è For best results drink ¾ oz of alkaline, ionized water for every pound you weigh.

Cuts and scrapes – If the skin is broken, spray on Acidic Water at least once a day to help the immune system deal with the microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, etc.) that may enter through the break in the skin. Then soak the wound or scrape (submerged or with a soaked cloth) for at least 3 minutes in Acidic Water and allow it to air dry. This helps tighten the pores and may help take away the pain.

Sunburns – If the sunburn is not severe enough for medical treatment, spray the strong Alkaline Water on the skin or soak a cloth in this water and apply to sunburned area. When finished with that session, spray Acidic Water on the entire area and let it air dry before covering with clothing. Repeat as desired.

Moles, warts, etc. – Acidic Water – If you have something abnormal on your skin, try this and see if it helps. In most cases, the easiest way is to soak the gauze pad on a Band-Aid with the water and apply over the area. Change bandage at least daily. Most people have to continue this process for 30 to 60 days before seeing results. If it is inconvenient to use a Band-Aid at work or in public, just apply when you are at home and see if it works.

Sore Throats – Acidic Water – Gargling with this water is as effective as gargling with a saline solution. Depending on the severity of your problem, gargle at least 4 times each day and in some cases every 15 minutes. If your child cannot gargle, put the Acidic Water in a spray bottle and spray it into their throat (10 pumps) 3 or 4 times per day (it will not hurt them if they swallow this water). Kids typically say their throats are no longer sore within minutes.

Mouthwash – Acidic Water – Swish and gargle at any time. The high ORP of this water has been shown to destroy bacteria and other microorganisms with exposure times of less than a minute. It’s the bacteria breaking down the foods in your mouth that produce the acids that cause tooth decay.

Cooking – Alkaline-Ionized Water – This water enhances the flavors and texture of your food. Some fruits and vegetables such as cherries, plums, strawberries, grapes, cabbage, eggplants, soy beans, and asparagus contain anthocyanins and are best cooked or washed in the 5.5 pH Astringent/Beauty Water.

Anthocyanins are versatile flavonoid pigments (with antioxidant qualities) found in red/purplish fruits and vegetables, including purple cabbage, beets, blueberries, cherries, raspberries and purple grapes.

NOTE: foods cook faster than you are used to when you are using Alkaline-Ionized Water.

è People might well ask what you are doing to make your food taste so much better!

Oxygen Reduction Potential (ORP) is even a more powerful indicator of a water’s strength than pH. To some degree, ORP depends on the mineral content of your water. Since most people do not own an ORP meter ($100 and up), pH is the standard we have presented in these notes.

 

A Water Pro Discusses Why Some People Do Not Get Results

This is about people and their willingness to try the water “correctly.”

1.    A person has [a] be open minded; [b] follow good advice; [c] consume the right quantity over a specific period (especially healthy people who are looking for only subtle changes); and [d] do some reading on the subject to become informed.

Here’s an unnamed case in point. She received a few gallons but never asked for more (I offered).  From the beginning, she was convinced it wouldn’t help. I encouraged her to let her husband try the water. He has a heart condition, so the potential for benefit seemed great. She used only 1 gallon of “trial” water and remained unconvinced. She just didn’t want to give it a real evaluation.

2.    Common sense advice:

a.    Not everyone has an obvious health issue, but almost everyone is dehydrated.

b.    One person will see a positive response with 8.5 pH. Another might not see anything until he progresses all the way up to 9.5 pH. That cannot be determined in one fell swoop. Starting someone at the highest pH can “kill the sale.”

c.    People need to acclimate to the water over a 3-week period.

d.    The most dramatic results happen over a month or two.

e.    Consuming the right quantity is key. People need to start with 8 glasses per/day and work up to ½ to ¾ of their body weight in ounces.

f.     Evaluators should lay off sodas, bottled water and sports drinks.

g.    They should cook and make coffee with the water.

3.    You cannot make people believe. In his mega-best seller How To Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie included this sage advice, “A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.”

Review the document at the top of this page (HOW TO USE ALKALINE, IONIZED WATER). It contains good and basic advice. People need to consume more “good water” than they have ever drunk before. The most wonderful results come when a customer is willing to do what seems unusual. Most people are programmed to think all liquids can contribute to hydration. Unfortunately, that is not true. 

When a person becomes fully and healthfully hydrated

—perhaps for the first time in years—

there is no telling what good results they will see.

Our alkalinizer, ionizer products incorporate the latest engine technology in this fast-growing field. The water is the best and it helps a person achieve better hydration 100% of the time.  If someone says it does not “work” for them, it often means they did not follow the trial instructions or did not stick with their trial long enough. Or someone influential was telling them that the hydration science is bogus.

The idea of ionizing water has been around for more than three decades. Go to this page to find helpful resources. http://www.chippynews.com/waterresources.html.

Some people did not believe in air conditioning when it first started to find its ways into homes. “That’s not the same,” you might say. “Everyone believes in cool, dehumidified, comfortable air. In the early days people just couldn’t afford it.”

Well, doesn’t everyone believe the human body should be properly hydrated? Hundreds of papers have been written about how our modern people get their liquids from coffee, sodas and other non-hydrating liquids. Now we are learning that ionized, alkalinized water is super-hydrating and super-healthful. It is every bit as wonderful as air conditioning. Perhaps more so.
