How Alkaline Water is Made (Part 1)

Water - the Source of Life

Given that the human body is mostly comprised of water (70 percent of it, in fact), it stands to reason the quality of water that is used to replenish this vital fluid be the best in maintaining proper health. Think pH (power of hydrogen) when thinking proper health as this is the balance that keeps the body healthy. Despite the complex formula that is used to calculate "negative decimal logarithm of hydrogen activity," proper pH balance for the body can be more simply reduced to the acid-alkaline balance in the water.

What is Alkaline Water?

When water has been treated through a process of electrolysis to break down the water molecule, the resulting ions and free oxygen produce what is referred to as alkaline water. This is water that is still possessed of its alkaline mineral content; those of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. The process of passing an electrical current through the water relies on these conductive elements in order to separate the alkaline from the acid fractions.

How Alkaline Water is Made

As more people realize the significance of drinking alkaline water, there is a growing movement toward achieving this process of electrolysis in the home. Using an alkaline water machine allows normal tap water to be subjected to the process of separating components at the molecular level. Two electrodes that are each charged, one negative and the other positive, are submerged in the water in order to attract their corresponding elements. The results are the separated alkaline and acidic waters. The acid water performs well as a cleaning agent in addition to being good for watering plants.
