Acidic Ionized Water For Home Use
Only electrolysed ionised water gives you both alkaline drinking water and acidic oxidant water for cleaning and even pest control without harsh chemicals at home and elsewhere. In the pioneering countries Japan and Korea, there's a growing recognition of acidic water as a safe, economical alternative to insecticides, pesticides in golf courses and agriculture . And effective sterilizer in hospitals, clinics and other commercial applications.
Acid ionized water is for external use only, not for drinking. Its antimicrobial and astringent properties have found widespread use. In fact, water ionizers were of established use in Japanese hospitals for the value of their ACID ionized water, long before the benefits of alkaline water were discovered.
Its home uses include:
In the Kitchen
Clean work surfaces, cutting boards, etc. and rinse dishes with high level acid ionized water. Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables to kill bacteria.
Skin Care
Because human hair and skin is mildly acidic, acid water is used restore sheen to hair and smoothness to skin. It can relieve dry itchy skin, including the itchiness resulting from poison ivy and poison oak. Helps in the treatment of acne and eczema.
Tests have shown that this “oxidized” water can be used to treat:
Athlete’s foot
Minor burns and scratches
Insect bites.
Flowers: Stay fresh longer in mildly acidic ionized water
Teeth: Used for brushing and gargling
Advantages of Different Types of Water for Gardening
Acid Water is well known for its benefits to people. Our water ionizers provides a healthy pH and ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) for drinking water for us humans. But our ionizers also produce acidic water. You can select the pH of the water you want to use for a particular application, without using any chemicals.
Now, many owners of our water ionizers are taking advantage of this flexibility to provide nourishment for plants, and for gardens.
“Using the 5.5 pH Acid Water on my tomato patch produced so many tomatoes the vines were constantly needing to be propped up even after the typical growing season was over here in Canada. I also use the 5.5 pH Acid Water with my cut flowers and they lasted at least two times longer than usual! -Kennith Walters, Calgary Alberta
There are two reasons why variations of waters provided by our water ionizers are helpful in providing nourishment for your garden. These are the pH and ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) which both provide a deficiency of, or abundance of, extra electrons to the water. Because the 5.5 pH acid water is “Hungry” it assists in the dissolving of inorganic matter (solid mineral rock) in the soil and helps with the ion exchange that produces alkaline plant matter in the hydrogen ion exchange. The lower pH also encourages helpful soil microbes.
This same “Hunger” also exists in nature as rainwater which is typically about 5.5 pH as well. When this 5.5 pH water gets into the soil it helps dissolve the minerals. Minerals are what ultimately make up the strength of the flavor; the abundance of measurable nutrients and the overall health of the plant.
“After studying the agricultural uses of Acid Water in Japan, I began experimenting with this water in my own garden. My plants’ response was immediate! New growth and glossy green foliage emerged while my plants began to bloom. In my 22 years in the Landscape Industry as a horticulturist and Landscape Architect, I have never seen anything like this!
The water supplies oxygen to the soil as well as increases the plant’s ability to uptake nutrients. The 2.5 pH water sprayed topically kills mold, bacteria, fungus, gnats, white flies and aphids This water is also ideal for growing hydroponics and will be a key player for minimizing the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in the future.

Growing Your Own Garden
Growing your own fruits, vegetables and herbs is a great way to have fresh produce at hand every day. This is the case whether you have a plot of land or you are container-gardening with potted plants. If you are consuming the produce from this gardening, then the nourishment that your plants receive is even more vital. The plants need good water in addition to sunshine and good soil.
It is the case that tap water often contains contaminants such as bacteria and chlorine, which could harm the plants and provide a risk for eating.
Alkaline water can enhance the initial germination process for plants. Slightly alkaline water can help stimulate this process and stimulate growth. Alkaline Water with a pH of 9.0 can be an ideal solution for vegetables, fruits and herbal plants. This alkaline water can also help to heal plants which are not doing well.
Food Preparation and Washing for Produce Purchased at the Markets
If you don’t have your own garden or if you purchase most of your vegetables and fruits at local markets or stores, then you should be sure to give attention to cleaning the produce properly. Even organically grown products should be properly cleaned. You can use Strong Alkaline Water (pH 11) to both clean and disinfect fruits and vegetables.
Strong Alkaline Water is a potent emulsifier, which can be employed when produce has been treated with pesticides. This pH 11 alkalized water can clean the harmful chemicals off the foods. Since pesticides are oil based, rain water and tap water are unable to eliminate them. However, Strong Alkaline Water effectively battles the germs, bacteria and pesticides.
