FAQs

Electrolysis involves the splitting of water by passing electricity through it. Oxygen is released at the +ve anode, while hydrogen is released at the –ve cathode.

The ions dissolved in the water are attracted to different poles because of their own polarity. An ion is an electrically charged molecule or a single atom, which is either positively charged through missing an electron or negatively charged by having an electron too many. The positively charged anode attracts negatively charged ions. The same goes for sulphur, chlorine, phosphorus and nitrate ions. Sulphur, chlorine, phosphorus and nitrate are removed from the tap water and placed with the acidic water, which is discarded as waste through the sink.

The negatively charged cathode, on the other hand, attracts positively charged ions such as calcium, magnesium and potassium, and charges them negatively. This water can be drunk up to a pH of 9.5. The process also adds calcium, magnesium and potassium to the alkaline solution, so the end result has more minerals than plain tap water.

The oxidation-reduction potential is the electrical potential needed to reduce or slow down oxidation for eg: rusting. Water must have a negative ORP in order to be considered good, especially for drinking. ORP is the strength to bond with active oxygen reducing power, also known as free radicals – a root cause for illness and aging, which enter the body on account of various pollutions, diet and stress. Generally, the city tap water supplied through corporations records an ORP OF +300 to +600mV, but after using MeerJal Ionizer MJ 110, the ORP records the ideal from -150mV to -400mV.

Alkaline water super-hydrates the body Water molecules come in clusters rather than single molecules. Tap water which is under pressure has very large clusters of 12-14 molecules. The ionization process breaks the electrical bonding of water molecules and restructures the water down to about 5-6 molecules per cluster. This smaller cluster size means that the water can be more easily absorbed into the cells, thereby providing superior hydration for the body and helping to dissolve and flush out acidic solid waste and toxins that have accumulated in the body. The importance of good hydration Since our bodies are made up of 60% water, the quality and quantity of water we consume will have a very dramatic impact on our overall state of health. Every healing and life giving process that happens in our body happens through water! Yet many people do not hydrate themselves enough, or choose to drink coffee, tea, fruit juices, soft drinks, power drinks, and alcohol instead of water. The fact is that these beverages contain acid-forming substances which reduce our ability to absorb and retain water. In the case of alcohol and caffeinated drinks, these actively stimulate the kidneys to produce more urine, causing further water-loss. You’re thirsty! Water is without doubt THE most important nutrient available to us, yet it is also the one that is most frequently overlooked. Although deficiencies of other nutrients can be sustained for months or even years, a person can only survive a few days without water. Indeed, scientists rank water second only to oxygen as essential for life. Approximately 60% of our total body weight and 80% of our brain is made up of water. Water plays a vital role in all bodily functions and is the main component of all the blood that travels through your body, carrying oxygen to your cells, muscles and organs. Water is a universal medium for biochemical reactions, joint lubrication, nutrient delivery, waste disposal, heat dispersion and temperature regulation. Yet, many people are so dehydrated that they become sick. In his book, Your Body's Many Cries for Water, Dr. F. Batmanghelidj reports how many diseases can be attributed to chronic dehydration and how drinking sufficient amounts of water, our most important nutrient, can resolve many of these health concerns. When we don’t drink enough water, our bodily processes slow down, electrolytes and other nutrients can’t be transported properly, cell function reduces, heat-loss becomes difficult, and waste products and toxins are not efficiently eliminated through the kidneys and build up in our body over time.

Our countertop MeerJal Alkaline Ionizer model can be directly connected to a diverter valve at the end of your faucet. The entire process takes place in two stages. The first is to filter out harmful components of the water with our builtin – dual multi-stage filter system, which removes chlorine, phenols, sediments, odors, tastes, and organic wastes. The filtered water then passes into a patented chamber equipped with platinum-coated titanium plates. Next, an electric current passes through the chamber it splits the water into 2 streams- ionized acidic water (30%) and ionized alkaline water(70%). The reduced ionized alkaline water comes out of the faucet which is used for drinking and cooking. The acid water comes out of a separate hose. Leading to sink. This acidic water is a good sterilizing agent, ideal for washing your hands, cleaning food or kitchen utensils and treating minor wounds and eczema.

A high range of Ph setting from very high Alkaline 11.5pH to very high Acidic 3.5pH is available at the touch of a button. The electrodes are cleaned in an automatic cleaning cycle or you can also run a manual cleaning cycle.

It is most common to begin by setting a low pH (8.0-8.5) and gradually increase the amount of intake. After continuous intake for about 2-3 weeks, gradually adjust the pH level and amount of intake (between 9-9.5) based on your bodily needs and physical conditions.

For children or seniors, set the pH level at an even lower level upon starting, and gradually increase it as the body adjusts to the current pH level.

In the case of infants (until about a year old), since breast milk or milk is the only thing they consume, the intestinal movement is generally different from adults, and the use of alkaline water is not encouraged until the infant begins to consume more sophisticated foods. Switch to purified mode (7pH) for the infants. Also switch to purified mode during pregnancy and until breastfeeding is concluded.

You should not drink Ionized Alkaline Water 45-60min before ar after taking medication or supplements. Use purified water (7pH)

Depending on how it is consumed and on the individual’s physical state, it is possible (although uncommon) to experience constipation or diarrhea for a few days to few weeks after starting the consumption of the alkaline water. If this occurs the amount of intake should be reduced to half or one fourth. Once the symptoms clear, it is ok to gradually increase the intake. This is because during the electrolysis the water breaks from 12-14 molecules cluster to 5-6 molecules cluster. This makes the water much more hydrating because it flows through our body tissues more easily, thus pushing toxins out of our system. It is this detoxifying effect that sometimes gives people headaches and diarrhea and that’s why there are 4 levels of strength of alkaline water.

Mengen effect - Your body may start hurting several hours or a day after you receive chiropractic. The technical term for this is the Mengen effect. It is a natural physical response, where the body tries to go back to normal after muscles and bones have been adjusted.

It varies from person to person. You might start noticing a positive response in as little as one day or within a few weeks

The Antioxidant (hydroxyl ions) will last approximately 18-24 hours in a properly sealed container. The higher pH (alkaline properties) will last for approximately 1-2 weeks. The smaller molecule cluster size will last approximately 1-3 months.

The type of original tap water used affects the quality of the alkaline water and pH. Normally the water supplied by the local municipal corporations is suitable for the ionizer. However, sometimes well water having excess minerals is directly used, in which case the taste may differ and also pH may be high. Also, the pressure at the inlet has to be regulated to get the correct pH.

Without taking proper care of your skin, you will suffer from dry and rough skin. Bodily fluids play an important role in maintaining your body temperature and the health of your skin. Drinking alkaline water can help maintain glowing, smooth skin. Since it is important to maintain your skin's pH level between 5.0 and 6.0, we recommend spraying acidic water with 4.0-4.5pH on your skin at regular intervals throughout the day. During the winter, bathing in acidic water can help preserve the moisture of your skin. Also, it works as a conditioner after shampoo.
