What is ionized water?
Ionized water is water that has negative ions added to it through an electrolysis process. Technically speaking, water usually has a positive charge except for a few places on Earth where it is naturally occurring. In the US, Trinity Springs is the only known spring where water naturally comes out of the ground with a negative charge plus a high pH. Ionized water for drinking has alkaline ionized minerals plus negative ions. The IE-300 also provides acidic positive ion water for sanitizing external surfaces, cleaning pesticides and herbicides from fruits and vegetables, and soaking meats to eliminate harmful bacteria. Ionized alkaline water for drinking or ionized acidic water for sanitizing is effective and measurable using standard scientific instruments.
What is antioxidant water?
In addition to alkaline ionized minerals, the drinking water has anti-oxidant properties. Here’s how it works: when water rusts iron it steals an electron. An oxidant or free radical in the body does the same thing: it steals an electron. A free radical is scientifically known as an electron thief! The textbook definition of an anti-oxidant is an electron-donor. In other words, an oxidant steals an electron and an anti-oxidant replaces the stolen electron. Alkaline ionized water has a typical negative ion charge between -125 mV to -250mV. That means the water is electron-rich and has measurable antioxidant properties. Health-giving ionized water is alkalinizing and it serves as an anti-oxidant.
How is this water produced?
Simply put, we are putting a negative and positive charge in the water and radically separating the two sides through an electrolysis process using a specialized patented membrane.
What type of plates are used for the electrolysis process?
We use platinum coated electrodes from Japan, considered the best in the world.
How long will the negative ions remain in the water?
This will vary depending on heat and motion. However, 10 days is generally considered a reasonable period.
How long is this machine built to last?
The IE-300 is built to work for well over 10 years. We have many machines in use in the U.S. for over ten years that still work like new.
What kind of research is available to support drinking this water for health?
The Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, every bit as rigorous as the US FDA, has approved ionized alkaline water for “gastrointestinal fermentation” or general gastric problems. While rigorous double-blind studies have not been done, MDs in Japan have recommended it for years for general detoxification and especially for liver problems, gout, and acidic conditions.
Does the ionization process affect the bioavailability of the alkaline minerals left in the water?
The process creates ionized alkaline minerals, which become more bioavailable in the body. It has been shown that animals have increased calcium absorption in the gut and an increase in their tibia bone mass from drinking the water. This indicates that the water may be supportive for treating osteoporosis.
What kind of water should I run through the machine?
Filtered tap water is standardly used. Well water can be used but should be tested to determine whether a water softener or pre-filtering system needs to be installed first.
Can I use RO or Distilled water?
No. The IE-300 uses the alkaline minerals in the water to adjust the pH. RO and distilled water have little to no minerals left. Few know that both Reverse Osmosis and Distillation acidify drinking water. Even less know what the effects of drinking acidic distilled or RO water is when drank for years. Be versed: Water with a neutral 7.0 pH will go down to around 5.5 pH after RO. That is highly acidic water.
What level do I start drinking the water on?
Start drinking the water at the lowest alkaline level and if it’s agreeable, you can go up a level or two within one or two days. Generally you want to consume water with a pH of between 8.0 and 9.5 on a regular basis. If you find harmless white particles (calcium) in the water, go down to a lower level or put a pre-filter on your water and they should disappear. The more minerals in your water, the lower level you should use. Most users will experience a mild detoxification reaction from drinking the water the first few days. That’s why it’s important to start at the lower level and gradually build up.
How much water should I drink a day?
It’s best to work your way up to between ½ to 1 gallon of ionized water a day. Water and ionized alkaline water in particular is a “sleeper”. We barely notice that our cells are dehydrated. When we drink more water, we will feel better all around and support an alkaline bioterrain within our bodies.
How much is too much alkaline in my system?
Drinking alkaline ionized water will not over-alkalinize you. It is not like taking sodium bicarbonate or antacids. Taking these on any ongoing basis is not recommended and leads to a vicious acidity rebound cycle. Alkaline ionized water is completely different. It’s a system balancer and is agreeable even for people who tend toward the alkaline side.
How do I know the water is helping if I don't see results?
The same question can be asked of eating well or of taking vitamins and minerals. However, adding the health benefits of antioxidant, alkaline ionized water to a regimen including some exercise and reasonable dietary retractions will tend to show up in the quality of your health, attention and overall energy. Most people feel very positive from drinking this high quality microwater.
How can we test the pH level?
The IE-300 comes with pH testing fluid to let you know the system works. For precise technical measurements, the use of a calibrated pH meter is necessary. However, the test fluid works well enough to give you a general indication and you can optionally test the unit whenever you want.
What should the pH level be?
University-based research indicates drinking ionized water with a pH between 8.0 and 9.5 is optimal. This is better than drinking ionized alkaline water at pH 10.0 and higher. This data comes from a test reported by the Dept. of Internal Medicine, Ohkura National Hospital & Dept. of Internal Medicine, Shiga University of Medical Science in Japan. The notion that the higher the pH the better it is for you is not correct. Moderation is the key here. The report from Japan states: “Judging from all these results, Alkaline Ionized Water efficacy against gastric symptoms are found to be optimum at pH 9.0.”
Where does the unit come from?
For your assurance and security, we offer only the established and leading brands from Japan.
How does this machine compare to other models on the market?
Other units from Korea typically cost 25% to 50% the cost of the better Japanese units in Asia. We sell only the high-end units from Japan, whose quality and reputation has been established over many years.
How long does the restructuring of the water last?
Approximately 24 hours. Microclusters are measured by NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) testing or Infrared Spectrometry testing. Without these tests, microclustering cannot be determined. Some other waters claim to have microclustered or structured water. These tests assure that claims are trustworthy.
How do you validate that the water this machine produces is smaller in clusters?
Aside from technical testing as just described above, smaller cluster ionized water will boil faster than ordinary water! If you put a tea bag in the water, it will get darker faster. If you put a prune in the water compared with your tap or spring water, it will become plumber at a faster rate.
Is it okay to take heart medicine drugs with Alkalized Water?
Some medications are adverse to ordinary calcium. If you are taking a drug whose effect is compromised by calcium supplements, drinking ionized alkaline water could have a mild effect on drug potency since the water has ionized calcium which is a more assimilated form of calcium. This is a very minor concern.
Do you need to use a pre-filter with the machine?
You do not need a pre-filter unless your tap water has an excessively high amount of chemicals or you are on well water. The unit comes with a very good carbon block filter.
How long does the filter last?
The filter is rated for 3500 gallons. It is recommended to change it every 12-18 months.
Does the machine work the same on well water?
In general, yes. In particular, we recommend that you work from an analysis of your well water to insure integrity.
Do you recommend plastic or glass containers to store the water?
Glass is recommended. Food-grade plastic will also work well. We do not recommend using polyethylene containers which are the milky white gallon size containers used for selling water in supermarkets.
How hard is it to install the machine? Do I need a plumber?
Installation is not difficult and a plumber is typically not necessary. You basically plug it in the wall, put the spout on top, attach it to the faucet diverter valve that comes with the system and you are ready to drink the lightest, brightest and best water available.
Can you drink this water with food or will it interfere with digestion?
The old saying about not drinking too much water with your meals is a good idea. Nonetheless, drinking ionized alkaline water with your meals does not tend to interfere with digestion. Ionized alkaline water aids the body in buffering acidity and serves to generally balance the system. If a person tends toward being alkaline, the water is usually agreeable all the same.
If I drink some acidic ion water will it hurt me?
No, but this is not recommended.
What does the acidic water do?
Ionized acid water reduces or kills bacteria and viruses. It is used externally to sanitize surfaces. We also have commercial units with super low and super high acid and alkaline water to replace toxic chemicals otherwise used to clean and sanitize topical surfaces.
What is the warranty?
The unit has a 1 year warrantee.
Do I need to hydrate everyday?
Our cells tend to be chronically dehydrated. As you take in more water, your body will adjust to a new normal by being more hydrated and healthy.
How long has the IE-300 unit been in the U.S.?
The IE-300 is an upgrade of a Japanese unit that has been sold in the US since 1998.
Can you cook with Alkaline Water?
Yes. In fact, this is also known as “culinary water” in Japan. Rice, beans and other vegetables are optimally plump and hydrated using this water and cook to an almost perfect consistency. Try it!
Do you have to unplug the unit after use?
This is not mandatory although the manual mentions this. Just as you can keep a CD player on for days on end, the same is true here. When going away on a trip, we suggest taking the plug out of the wall.
Who do you call for service/technical support?
Call us!
Does the unit remove fluoride?
Yes! EPA approved test methods show that the unit is effective in extracting fluoride. We have independently tested for fluoride extraction. Tap water with 1.1 milligrams of fluoride per liter was tested by Sequoia Analytical Laboratories. No fluoride was detected in the drinking water coming from the water ionizer. 1.6 milligrams of fluoride was detected in the concentrated run-off from the unit. Our water ionizer, unlike ordinary filters, extracts fluoride from your drinking water.
