Alkaline Water

Alkaline Water

1. 1Source Water
   The appropriate configuration depends on source-water quality and intended use.
2. 2Mineral Media
   Alkaline water systems may use mineral media or electrolysis to increase water pH, depending on the technology.
3. 3Electrolysis
   Electrolysis uses electrical energy to drive chemical reactions. In a water ionizer, the resulting water characteristics depend on the electrode design, incoming-water chemistry and operating conditions.
4. 4pH
   The pH scale indicates how acidic or alkaline an aqueous solution is. A pH of 7 is neutral at approximately 25°C; values below 7 are acidic, while values above 7 are alkaline.
5. 5Contaminant Control
   Higher pH does not automatically mean healthier water. Source-water safety and contaminant control remain essential.
