What is ionization?

Ionization is the process of converting liquids or particles wholly or partly into ions; it simply means gaining or losing an electron.

Ionized water is water that has undergone the process of ionization through a water ionizer.  Ionized water either becomes alkaline or acid, meaning that minerals have been segregated accordingly and the pH has been adjusted up or down.

How does a water ionizer produce ionized water?

Water runs through positive and negative electrodes which ionize the water.  It is then separated into alkaline and acid water as it passes through membranes.  This is accomplished by repelling the water now that it has been "charged" into positive and negative ions.

What is pH Balance?

The degree of alkalinity of a solution is measured in terms of a value known as pH, which is the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.  On the pH scale, which ranges from 0 (acid) to 14 (alkaline), a solution is neutral if its pH is 7.



Water is... ...if the pH is This contains...
Acid 0 (lowest) Higher H+ than OH-
Neutral 7 Equal H+ and OH-
Alkaline (14 (highest) Higher OH- than H+

Our body pH should be slightly alkaline and should be approximately 7.5 (measured through saliva or urine).

What is ionized alkaline water?

Ionized alkaline water is healthy drinking water.  It is full of oxygen molecules with an extra electron also known as hydroxyl ions.  Once the hydroxyl ions donates its extra electrons to free radicals (oxygen molecules that are missing one electron), you are left with plenty of productive oxygen.

Ionized alkaline water contains only five to six water molecules per cluster instead of ten to thirteen of conventional water.  Its smaller hexagon-shaped molecular structure is similar to our DNA.  This compatibility promotes cell health and resistance to aging.  This "reduced" water is more hydrating than conventional water and is extremely detoxifying.

In addition, ionized alkaline water is also effective

  • as a powerful antioxidant.  People spend a lot on antioxidants to neutralize free radicals that cause diseases, aging and cancer.  Ionized water is an antioxidant in liquid form that is easily absorbed by the body, making it more effective and powerful than costly antioxidant tablets.
  • in balancing the pH of the body.  Our diet is extremely acidic.  Soft drinks and fast or processed food deposit acid waste in our bodies that builds up over time and creates an ideal environment for various diseases to thrive.  Cancer patients for instance are extremely acidic.  This is invariably true with children if they are chronic soft drink consumers; many may end up with serious diseases at a very young age.

Maintaining an alkaline pH (8.5 to 10.5) makes it difficult for degenerative diseases to thrive.  It may take years depending on how acidic our bodies are, but ionized alkaline water will eventually flush out acid wastes.

Why should I drink ionized alkaline water?

Drinking ionized alkaline water regularly will:

  • Give you lots of energy
  • Wash acid waste (toxins) from the body
  • Hydrate the body three times more effectively than conventional water
  • Allow you to absorb nutrients more effectively
  • Make cooked food taste better
  • Make powders such as flour mix more thoroughly and smoothly
  • Boil or cool faster than ordinary water
  • Promote overall health and healing by balancing the body's pH

Who should drink ionized alkaline water?

Everyone should drink ionized alkaline water.  It is beneficial to some degree to everyone.  Athletes, for instance, will benefit from it immensely -- by regularly drinking strongly ionized alkaline water, their blood oxygen levels will rise resulting in increased stamina and endurance, and providing muscle tissue and organs with high amounts of oxygen.

It also gives children great amounts of oxygen that helps their bodies function efficiently, as with everyone else who drinks it.  Having extra amounts of oxygen in our blood naturally helps us to fight disease and build up a strong immune system.  Since children usually have no accumulated toxins in their bodies, they will suffer none of the ill effects of detoxification such as headaches, diarrhea, etc.

How should I drink ionized alkaline water?

Start at level 1 of the pH selector of your Jupiter Water Ionizer, drinking 3 to 5 glasses per day.  If the water agrees with you, increase the amount of water you drink and the level of ionization intensity.  As the antioxidant effects are more powerful as the pH level rises, you should take your time building up to higher levels.  This will depend partly on what kind of physical shape you are in when you start drinking ionized alkaline water.  For instance, if you have made a conscious effort to eat well and keep your body detoxified, you can start drinking ionized alkaline water at level three.

If you have been on medication for some time, or live on a diet of processed food, or a diet devoid of fresh fruits or vegetables, you may need to begin drinking ionized alkaline water at level one.  Start by drinking an 8-ounce glass of water slowly.  If you do not feel any negative effects, try another glass later within the day.  If you still do not feel any negative effects, then move up to the next level in the days that follow until you reach level five.  The stronger the ionized alkaline water you drink, the better it is in detoxifying your body.

Is drinking high intensity ionized alkaline water advisable?

Yes.  We should start drinking ionized alkaline water at the lowest level and slowly work our way up, since we spent most of our lives accumulating acid waste within our bodies.  Ionized alkaline water from a Jupiter Water Ionizer has different levels of intensity.  If the average person immediately drinks strongly ionized alkaline water, he could suffer headaches or diarrhea due to the water's strong detoxification quality.  This is particularly true for elderly people and those who have a very poor diet or have taken a lot of medicine.

You will, of course, experience more energy as the ionization intensity increases.

Can a person become too alkaline from drinking ionized alkaline water?

People have been known to drink as much as two gallons of ionized alkaline water daily and greatly benefited from it.  On the contrary, the most common imbalance that leads to health problems is too much acidity.  The more acidic we are, the greater the chances for diseases such as cancer and arthritis to flourish.  People who are always sick have very low body pH; the sicker they are, the lower their body pH level.

[Top]


Does ionized alkaline water have any negative effects?

Absolutely none as long as it is used properly.  Drink only ionized alkaline water; never drink ionized acid water.  So far, no negative effects have been observed from the proper use of ionized water, either alkaline or acidic.

[Top]


What is acid water?

Acid water is full of hydrogen ions and other acidic minerals (phosphorus, sulfur, etc.) which makes it an excellent cleansing and sterilizing agent.  This water is for external use only and should never be ingested.  Its multitude of benefits include:

  • Killing bacteria, especially those found in vegetables, fruit, meat and fish
  • Helping heal cuts, blisters, scrapes and rashes
  • Providing relief from mosquito bites, bee stings, poison ivy and poison oak
  • Making hair shinier and smoother
  • Working as a skin astringent; helps in the treatment of acne, eczema and fungi like athlete's foot; relieves chapped, dry and itchy skin
  • Effectively removing plaque from teeth, and can be used in lieu of toothpaste
  • Relieving sore throat and mouth sores when used for gargling
  • Promoting plant growth and health, especially herbs and wheat grass
  • Extending the life of cut flowers

How does ionized alkaline water taste compared with conventional water?

A common remark regarding the taste of ionized alkaline water is that it tastes smoother and more delicious than conventional water.  This is due to the smaller size of the molecular clusters.  It also makes better coffee, tea and juice, and is excellent for cooking because it helps hydrate the food and bring out its flavor.  In addition, ionized alkaline water does not make you feel bloated even if you drink a lot of it at once, compared with regular water.

How long does ionized alkaline water stay ionized?

Though it is recommended that people drink freshly ionized alkaline water from a Jupiter Water Ionizer, the water can also be stored, preferably in sealed glass bottles, with its properties lasting for as long as:

Properties Approximate life span
Antioxidant (hydroxyl ions) 18 to 24 hours
High pH (alkaline properties) 1 to 2 weeks
Smaller molecular cluster size 1 to 3 months
