Reverse Osmosis is a dead water that cleans up the water but I am speaking of a Living water that can Alkalize the water up to 8.4

Alkalize & Benefit with Optimum Health with alkaline, ionized water

Finally, a water alkalizing and ionizing machine that produces alkaline & ionized pure healthy living water! It is very important that we maintain the proper alkaline pH balance of our blood and at the cell level for optimum health and personal energy. Alkaline water helps to neutralize and eliminate toxic acidic waste buildup.
These water ionizer machines filter with an exclusive Biostone Filter  and separate regular tap water into acid and alkaline streams by a patented water cell which uses platinum coated titanium electrolysis plates. Alkaline and  Ionized pure living water is produced in which the pH & Oxidation Reduction Potential is  measurable and adjustable to your personal settings. Start with lower settings of alkalinity and then increase as needed.
The water also becomes ionized meaning that the water molecule gains an extra oxygen electron which creates living Water which is a powerful antioxidant! Free radicals created by metabolism and contamination have a missing oxygen ion and do damage to cell walls and often to the cell nucleus and DNA strands by trying to acquire the missing ion. This process is referred to as oxidation very similar to the way iron rusts or oxidizes.
Aging or premature aging is a process of oxidation within the body. In other words the body rusts and is damaged by oxidation. The antioxidant molecule has an extra ion and donates it to the free radical effectively neutralizing it which is very important to our health and longevity. This antioxidant effect is also known as Negative Oxidation Reduction Potential (-ORP).
 Air, food and water have an ORP value which can be measured by an ORP meter which is a millivolt measurement of negative and positive electrical values indicating  electron or ion activity .The higher the negative ORP value the healthier is for us and more powerfully we can neutralize free radicals. Click on the image for a demonstration of different water being tested with an ORP meter.
 Our Jupiter Science Ionizers provide antioxidant living water with the Aquarius & Orion models leading the way in world water ionizing technology! Drinking pure alkaline and ionized living water is a health benefit that helps to neutralize and eliminate acid waste, hydrates the body, and provides micro clustered antioxidant water which is rapidly absorbed into the body for maximum hydration and antioxidant benefits!
There has been a prevailing notion that Alkaline Ionized water is “more highly oxygenated” and that this somehow is better for us. The simplest way to answer this is: humans are not fish; we do not absorb Oxygen from the water we take into our bodies. Oxygenation from Alkaline Ionized water happens indirectly rather than directly as oxygen reaches our cells via the blood.
 
There are a few different metrics that medical science employs to measure the blood > oxygen > tissue equation. It works like this: the oxygen attaches to the hemoglobin in the lungs at “binding sites” on the hemoglobin. The hemoglobin-oxygen travels through the blood to all parts of the body. The hemoglobin then “unhitches” or releases the bound oxygen which is then delivered to the cells. Oxygen Saturation (SO2) in the blood, measures the percentage of hemoglobin binding sites in the bloodstream occupied by oxygen. The more oxygen bound to the hemoglobin, the more that can be released into the tissues. This crucial process of oxygen release to the tissues can also be measured and is called the Oxygen / Hemoglobin Disassociation Curve. This essentially quantifies how much oxygen is released into the cells of a given tissue.
 
It is important to remember that an alkaline environment is oxygen rich; conversely, an acidic environment is oxygen depleted. Blood with a proper pH balance has the ability to attach more oxygen to the hemoglobin binding sites (measured by saturation) thereby delivering more oxygen to the tissues (measured by dissociation). Alkaline Ionized water helps balance the pH so that oxygenation is optimal. Properly oxygenated tissues are healthier and more disease resistant.
 
The prevalent notion that Alkaline Ionized water is “more highly oxygenated” is uncertain and looking somewhat questionable according to our recent research. Oxygen saturation or “Dissolved Oxygen” (DO) is a relative measure of the amount of oxygen that is dissolved or carried in water. It can be measured with a dissolved oxygen probe. Our recent testing indicates that Alkaline Ionized water actually displays less dissolved oxygen  than some other waters. We believe this is because of the ionization process which creates OH- in the water. Ultimately this is inconsequential in our bodies from the standpoint of “oxygenation”, as you can see from the above explanation about blood and oxygenation.
           
What you can say about Alkaline Ionized water is that it has a higher ratio of oxygen to hydrogen than regular waters. This is because of the concentration of OH- in Alkaline Ionized water. OH- is a one to one ratio of oxygen and hydrogen with a negative charge (the antioxidant potential in the water). Water is two hydrogen to one oxygen. The more concentrated this OH- becomes in the water, the more oxygen to hydrogen you have. The benefit of this is not the increase in oxygen, but rather the OH- itself which has an extra electron available to donate to neutralize free radicals without becoming unstable itself. This is antioxidant effect at its most basic and pervasive level.
 
One interesting comparison between antioxidants in general is that of molecular weight. In the itsy-bitsy world of chemistry, weights are measured, not in kilograms or any derivative, but in Daltons. Molecular weight is essentially the weight of a single molecule and vital to a substance’s ability to cross the Blood Brain Barrier. In fact, it turns out that only molecules that have a molecular weight smaller than 500 Daltons can reliably get through the Blood Brain Barrier.
 
 The molecular weight of antioxidants delivered via food or beverage varies but tends to be very high. For example the molecular weigh of one of the most well known antioxidants, Vitamin E, is approximately 473. Conversely, water has a molecular weight of around 18. This would make the antioxidant potential of water much more pervasive than Vitamin E - actually getting easily into the brain. It would also indicate that the rate of uptake and therefore ultimate effectiveness would be much better.
 

Ionization alters water in two significant and measurable ways: pH and ORP. These alterations to water are what make it very different from other waters you may drink.
pH
The pH stands for "potential hydrogen" and is a measurement that provides an indication of the level of hydrogen in a substance. It is measured by the pH scale. Proper body pH is an important factor in good health.
If any substance changes from pH 7 to pH 8, it has become ten times more alkaline. Conversely, if it has changes from neutral pH 7 to pH 6, it is 10 times more acidic. As an example, a popular Cola, at pH 2.5 is almost 50,000 times more acidic than neutral water, and needs 32 glasses of neutral (pH 7) water to counteract the consumption of one glass of Cola. (Active ingredient: Phosphoric Acid) You can now see that a change from the normal level 7.365 to pH 7 would mean that your blood would suddenly be around 4 times as acid as it should be. You would die from poisoning by your own blood. This is why every body system is used to support the correct blood pH.
You can also understand from this that our blood pH can be affected at any time of the day by a myriad of events; food, drink, stress, pollution, exercise, or beneficially, by meditation, by drinking alkaline water, by deep breathing, even by being happy.
 

 
The other way an ionizer alters the water is in ORP. This stands for Oxidation Reduction Potential (also referred to as "Redox" - it's the same thing). Most leading water researchers from Asia agree that in ionized water the elevated pH is good, but that ORP is more important. Alteration to the OPR is what causes the microclustering, antioxidant and oxygenating effects.

ORP
ORP is a "potential" energy that is stored and ready to be put to work. It's not necessarily working, but we know that the energy is there and we can measure it. Another way to look at this potential might be to look at pressure. If you blow up a balloon, and there is air pressure inside. As long as the balloon is closed, the pressure remains and can be measured. When released, this potential energy becomes kinetic energy.
In electrical terms, potential energy can be measured. When we use the term "potential" in describing ORP, we are actually talking about electrical potential as expressed in millivolts. This potential is measured in water with an ORP meter. What you measure is the very slight voltage in water. We are actually measuring the presence of oxidizing or reducing agents by their specific electrical charge, thus Oxidation Reduction "Potential". High pH water has more "reducing" agents (which are measured as negative ORP reading) and low pH water has more oxidizing agents (which are measured as a positive ORP reading).
Oxidation is what turns an apple brown after it is cut or causes metal to rust. Antioxidants reduce the oxidizing effects of free radicals. Oxidation or "rust"  weakens metal and signifies the deterioration of the apple. The process of oxidation “steals” electrons from the surface being oxidized. When we measure a something’s oxidizing potential, it is expressed in +ORP and measures the concentration of OH+ ions or oxidizing agents.
A “reducing” agent is simply something that inhibits or slows the process of oxidation. The reducing agent does this by “donating” an electron. When we measure a something’s oxidation reduction potential, it is expressed in terms of –ORP and measures the concentration of OH- ions or reducing agents. In its most basic form a reducing agent is an “antioxidant” ~ reducing oxidation. Follow this link to read more detailed info about the science of pH and ORP.
The ORP of most tap water in the USA is between +200 to +600mv and so is an oxidizing agent. High pH ionized water demonstrates a –ORP and so is a reducing agent or “antioxidant”. Most bottled waters are very acidic (low pH) and also have higher ORPs.



pH and ORP alteration is a highly variable and depends primarily on three factors:
1. The source water and its natural mineral content – water varies widely in this respect
2. The voltage applied to the water during electrolysis
3. The flow rate through the ionizer’s water cell
These variables have a dramatic effect on pH and ORP.
An ionizer works primarily on the mineral content in the water. It is the dissolved mineral content (referred to as TDS) which creates the pathway for the “ionization” (or more correctly electrolysis) to occur. Water without mineral content or TDS, like reverse osmosis or distilled water, will not conduct the current and therefore can not be “ionized”. This first variable is the most crucial to performance. Tap waters vary widely in the dissolved mineral content. The higher the mineral content (“harder” water), the higher the levels of pH and ORP alteration an ionizer can achieve; the lower the mineral content (“softer water”), the lower levels the of pH and ORP alteration. The importance of this variable can not be emphasized enough.
The heart of an ionizer is the water cell which contains the electrodes. The electrodes are what deliver the current and creates the “ionization”. We control the voltage conducted through the electrodes and then to the water by selecting the different "Alkaline" settings on an ionizer. The higher the Alkaline setting (or voltage), the more alteration you will achieve in pH and ORP. Effective conductivity is the primary determinant – not electrode size - of effective delivery of the current or voltage into the water needed to create electrolysis. Do not be fooled by the claim some manufacturers make that larger electrodes will necessarily deliver better performance. Generally the larger electrodes have poorer conductivity – so they have to be larger.
The flow rate through the machine determines how long the water is actually in contact with the electrodes receiving the voltage and the effects of electrolysis. If your flow is fast (say you could fill a quart or liter in 15 seconds) then the water is not processing very long and not receiving much alteration. Conversely, with a slow the flow rate (say the same quart or liter took 60 seconds) the water is in the chamber in contact with the electrodes longer and will receive more alteration. You can always achieve higher pH and ORP readings with reduced flow rates. So controlling the flow is an important variable in performance.

On most ionizers you can only adjust the flow rate by using your faucet or tap. If your faucet is all the way "on", the water will process very fast through the machine. If your faucet is just barely "on", this reduces the flow and the water will process for much longer. With a fast flow rate you may only achieve slight alteration in pH and ORP, slow it down and you will get higher pH and better ORP. Simply put, speed it up, you get a less alteration; slow it down and you'll get more.
To illustrate this whole principle lets look at two very different tap waters and their effect on performance. Remember the crucial variable is the dissolved mineral content or TDS (total dissolved solids) which is measured in parts per million. This creates the pathway for the ionization to occur. In Carlsbad, California the tap water tests at 385 - 501ppm of total dissolved solids. The tap water in Seattle, Washington tests at approximately 40 – 47ppm. You could test water from an ionizer in Carlsbad at a given setting and flow rate and you would get a certain result. You could test the exact same ionizer in Seattle without altering the setting or flow rate and you would get dramatically different results. Is it the ionizer? No. It is the water as the main variable in performance. There is much less pathway in Seattle’s water. To further illustrate variability, you could alter the voltage or flow rates through the ionizer in either Carlsbad or Seattle and you would get different results again.
Comparing ORP
Lastly, comparing ORP is a tricky business. Stating absolute values is impossible. Anyone who really knows and understands ionizers/ORP would agree. Anyone who states absolutes in performance proves their ignorance on the science behind it. Further, pH and ORP are not tied to one another. In other words you can measure ORP in two pH9 waters and get two very different readings. Another factor to consider when comparing ORP is the level of pH you will drink.
Water with a pH over about pH10 does not taste good to the vast majority of people. Japanese research states that the ideal range for drinking alkaline water is between pH8.5 and pH9.5. Given this, testing ORP at those levels is where the real bang for the buck is; ORP at a pH level one would actually drink. Therefore, the only salient way to compare ORP in ionizers is side-by-side, with the same source water and each machine set to achieve the same drinkable level of pH. If you drink pH9 then the ORP you get at pH9 is the effective ORP in the ionizer. Not some “absolute” or even extraordinarily high ORP.
So understanding performance is like understanding a dance between the three variables. Understanding this dance is crucial to making an informed decision when purchasing an ionizer, and also in getting the most out of your ionizer’s performance.
 
In today's chronic dehydration society this is a must have health benefit for all people to drink alkaline living water! The water that you drink does make a difference in your health, well being and personal energy! Other water filtration systems cannot make the claim to produce living alkaline and ionized water. Bottled water, reverse osmosis systems, distilled and other water is likely to be acidic and have a high positive ORP which is promoting oxidation within the body and robbing vital energy. Worse yet are the contaminants and chemicals from unclean water sources and from plastic containers of all types.

 That is not all the ionizers can do!         
The molecular cluster of the water are changed from 10-13 molecules a cluster to 5-6 a cluster hence the term microwater. This water hydrates up to 6 times better than non-living water and provides powerful health benefits that bottled water or reverse osmosis systems cannot. Ionized Water, with its low molecular weight and high negative oxidation reduction potential, makes it a superior scavenging agent of active oxygen. Electrolysis inside the Ionized Water unit not only charges the reduced water with electrons, it also reduces the size of reduced water molecule clusters.
NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) analysis reveals that tap water and well water consists of clusters of 10 to 13 H2 0 molecules. Electrolysis of water in the Ionized Water unit reduces these clusters to about half their normal size -- 5 to 6 water molecules per cluster.
 
                                                        As the graph shows, the NMR signal that measures cluster size by line width at half-amplitude shows 65 Hz for reduced water and 133 Hz for tap water, revealing that the reduced water clusters are approximately half the size of tap water clusters.
Another powerful benefit is the addition of small amounts of calcium and magnesium in the perfect 2 to 1 ratio. Calcium and magnesium ideally are assimilated in an alkaline environment truly making this healthy and living water. Calcium supplements are just not that absorbable in an acid pH condition. Little wonder that folks have difficulty absorbing and utilizing calcium. Osteoporosis occurs when the body takes calcium from bones to use in metabolism and to help neutralize toxic acid waste. That is why we need to assimilate and metabolize the calcium that we take in! Finally Living Water for our 21st century and for our health!
