The Water Alkaliser II
How to make Ionised Water?
The water activator unit is a very simple device, which ionises water by electrolysis. In the centre of the tank, a semi-permeable membrane with two electrodes attached divides the water.
Depending on the conductivity and temperature of the water, the water in each half of the tank will be acid on one side and alkaline on the other.
The water in the side with the electrical positive electrode (where the red wire enters) is the acid water, the side with the electrical negative electrode (where the black wire enters) is the alkaline water.
Distilled water and R.O water is not suitable for the production of acid and alkaline water. However, if you wish to use these waters for any reason it is necessary to increase the conductivity by adding only one drop of lemon juice to the water. Do not use more juice AND do not use salt.
Measuring pH
1. With litmus paper. There are several litmus papers available. With some litmus papers it is only possible to measure certain pH levels like pH 2 to pH 5 and others seem to be quite useless.
2. With high quality paper it is possible to determine very accurately, due to a 4-colour combination (Merck paper), pH readings between 0 and 14. For measuring acid and alkaline water it is advisable to have litmus paper which measures at least from pH 2 to pH 12.
With an electronic pH meter.
This device is very accurate and even cheap ones measure to one decimal point. The electronic meter measures the concentration of hydrogen ions. Please note that electronic pH meters should not be used in water under current. You have to switch the unit off for a while before testing the pH level.
Hint: Some people take a water sample to the next aquarium or pet shop. They normally do the quick test for free. For further reading the book “pH Youthing” by Harald W. Tietze is recommended.
