What is pH?
pH is a measurement of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution in terms of the concentration of hydrogen ions. The lower the pH, the more free hydrogen ions it has, and the more acid it is, and the less available oxygen.
What is ORP?
ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) represents the level of oxidation reduction in a solution. The less oxidation (negative ORP) the better the quality of the water.
How does ionization work?The ionization process occurs through electrolysis. To ionize means to gain or lose an electron. Essentially, the ionization process robs an electron from one molecule and transfers it to another molecule. The molecule with the extra electron is known as a hydroxyl ion, which is an oxygen molecule with an extra electron. It is the presence of hydroxyl ions that makes the water alkaline, meaning it has a high pH. When successfully ionized, this type of drinking water can help enhance the ability of the blood to carry oxygen and can assist in neutralizing free radicals in the bloodstream.
What is alkaline water?
Alkaline water is water which has a pH greater than 7.0 and a smaller cluster size which is easily absorbed into the body to enhance metabolism.
What are the uses for alkaline water?
The Ion Thrive Alkaline Water Ionizer comes with 4 preset alkaline levels: 8.5, 9.0, 9.5 and 10.0.
When one first starts drinking alkaline water, he/she should begin by drinking water produced in STEP 1 (Alkaline water with pH level no higher than 8.5). After consuming 4-6 glasses per day for week, you may proceed to STEP 2 if you wish (Alkaline water wiht pH level no higher than 9.0) consuming 4-6 glasses per day for the second week. Typically, most people stay on STEP 1 or 2 alkaline water level. Some drink level (9.5 pH) for high detoxification but htis is not recommended for prolonged use. This should not replace the instructions of your doctor.
This is the recommended drinking level for most adults and all children between 5 and 18 years of age. It is good for those with
sensitive stomachs or stomoach illnesses, and offers mild detoxification for the body.
Offers medium detoxification for the body. Start with 8.5 pH before moving onto 9.0 pH. It is not recommended to drink at this
level continously. It is not recommended for children under 18 years of age.
Offers a high detoxification for the body. if you are looking to detoxify your body for a short time, please work your way up to this level
from 8.5 pH. It is not recommended to drink continiously unless you need a high detoxification due to health challeneges. This is not
recommended for children under 18 years of age. (This is also a good level for making tea; it enhances natural flavors and shortens
steeping time)
This level of alkalinity should not be used to drink!
It has a detergent-like effect and works very well to emulsify oil, and remove oil or grease.
Most pesticides found on produce are oil-based and so can be removed by soaking them in pH 10.0 water.
What are the uses for acidic water?
The Ion Thrive Alkaline Water Ionizer comes with 4 preset acidic levels: 5.5, 5.0, 4.5 and 4.0.
May be good for gargling and brushing teeth
May be used for watering plants to speed up growth
May be used as a skin cleanser/toner
Ideal for bathing sensitive skin and infants
May be sued to take a bath or wash face
May also be used for washing infants
May restore shine to hair and softness to skin
May relieve sunburn and other skin conditions such as psoriasis, rashes, eczema and dryness
May be used to remove sediment from teapot or cup
May be used in a humidifer
Strong acidic water is known for its disinfecting properties. In Korea, acidic water has been scientifically tested for
its ability to kill HIV and other viruses such as staph, strep, candida, athlete's foot, e. coli, and salmonella.
What are the uses for purified water?The pH of purified water will be the same as your tap water. Use this level only when taking medication.

Most pesticides found on produce are oil-based and so can be removed by soaking them in pH 10.0 water.
- Other uses for pH 10.0 alkaline water may include:
- Cleaning cutting boards, knives and dishes.
- Soaking vegetables, meat and fish. The soaking process with also bring out natural flavors, increase antioxidant level, remove bitterness, reduce acid and speed up cooking.
- Effectively remove pesticides from fruits and vegetables.
- Ideal for making soups.
- To cook rice: rinse first in pH 8.5 alkaline water and then cook in pH 10.0 water to speed up cooking time and maintain natural flavor.
- Removes spots and stains.
