Which Alkaline Water Machine is Right?
When you first jump into the world of alkaline water machines (more commonly referred to as Water Ionizers), it can be just so confusing with all the scientific mumbo-jumbo about alkalinity, ORP, pH, plates, voltage and who knows what else! So how do you know which one is right for you? What is really the difference between them all? They can vary by thousands of dollars, and the different manufacturers will tell you that certain features are more important than others. But in this article we’ll tell you the two main factors that are really important in a water ionizer. 1) ORP – First, you want an alkaline water machine which brings a negative (-) Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) about in the water. ORP is a measure of the water’s ability to slow down the oxidation process. If it’s a positive number (+), that would be Oxidation Potential and it would be measuring the amount of oxidation happening (which is a bad thing.) Oxidation is what happens when metals get rusty, or when fruits
