Ian’s Alkaline Water Ionizer Secret Number Seven

There is really only one thing that changes ph of your water, and that’s flow rate.

Sure, higher electricity in the cell will give a higher pH but it will also be a less stable output because fundamentally it’s the minerals in the incoming water that facilitate the ionization and output pH.

Electric ionizers have all sorts of buttons and gizmos to increase pH, but flow rate is all that is really needed for normal water. Natural ionizers have only one control; flow rate, and once set, they hardly ever need changing. (Not all natural ionizers have easy flow control. Some rely on adjusting the tap water pressure.) Only a few electric ionizers have inbuilt flow control, and it’s an important advance. It means your pH won’t change if you turn your tap on less than last time.

Alkaline Video Library

I find it very difficult on YouTube to not waste buckets of time looking for good content in the hundreds of videos posted about alkaline water and alkalien diet, so I’ve decided to do something about it. I have created my own library of alkaline videos, and I’ve made my own comment on each one so you have a good chance of choosing better and more informing views.

Here it is

Just the Ticket to Stop Grandpa leaving ‘Home’.

Germany has created a new way to stop Alzheimers’ patients getting lost when they try to ‘go home’. A fake bus stop sign outside their care facility is easily checked by staff. Take a look.

All You Need to Know About Cholesterol

Mark Sisson is a dedicated Paleo diet fan. He’s also an excellent researcher, so when he says he’s going to tell me all about chloesterol, I listen. Just take a look at this excellent post on his blog. Actually, the article isn’t by Mark, but anytime he features a guest writer, they are excellent.

And if you like that, here’s another post of his that describes the best foods to boost GOOD cholesterol.

Ian’s Water Ionizer Secrets Number Six

All water ionizers work.

Some work better than others, but the truth is that you won’t use the very high alkaline water settings so there’s little point in paying thousands of dollars more just to have pH11.5 water that is undrinkable.

My only exception is Chinese electric models. Too much variability in quality. They are very cheap.. but the bitterness of poor quality lasts far longer than the sweetness of a quick bargain. There’s a video on YouTube of a man who pulled apart his Chinese Water Ionizewr because he was getting sick. The plates were like a dry leaf; crinkled and with thousands of holes through corrosion.

He was not happy.

Alkaline Water Secret Number Five

 

  • Now You don’t have to pay thousands to get ‘byproduct’ sterilizing water.

  • There are now great little stand-alone devices that produce hypochlorous acid from just one gram of salt. It’s wonderful stuff. It will kill all known nasty bacteria in ten seconds flat. It’s an all-round cleaner you’ll find so many uses for.. and it will save your kitchen from all those nasty toxic chemicals you’ve had to use up until now.Only a couple of ionizers on the market can give you the same water, and they do it in a highly corrosive pH2.7 acid form, whereas these little beauties do it at a safe pH but with the same properties.

    No, we don’t sell it. But if you are interested let me know. Happy to pass  on the link.

Ian’s Fourth Water Ionizer Secret.

The kitchen sink area is known to hygienicists as a hotbed of bacteria.

Food waste splashes makes for a fetid breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria. It’s a very good idea to wipe the spout of your water ionizer down with high acid water or other sanitizer on a regular basis.
This will prevent the possibility of collecting a  load of fresh bacteria with each glass.

IAN’S WATER IONIZER SECRETS: Number Three: Checking your local water supply

Check with your local water supply authority before deciding on what sort of water ionizer to buy.

Electric ionizers concentrate alkaline minerals in your drinking water, so if you already have sufficient alkaline minerals (calcium, magnesium) in your water, concentrating them may not be wise.

Most Natural Ionizers (non-electric) don’t concentrate the alkalis, meaning that if you have high calcium in your water, it will pass through the natural ionizer and you’ll still get it, but not concentrated as in the electrics.

Just because your water has calcium in it doesn’t mean that more is better. If you are after calcium to beat osteoporosis degeneration, take a look at Vitamin K2.

Ian’s Water Ionizer secrets: Number Two

The alkaline diet suggest that you eat 80% of your food based on the food containing a supply of inorganic alkaline minerals.

While this is good in theory as a way of boosting your alkaline reserves, many of the foods recommended have high carbohydrate, glucose or fructose levels, causing inflammation, insulin resistance and obesity. So fundamentally you are ingesting these acidifying elements to gain a small amount of alkaline minerals.

It’s far easier to get your alkaline salts through an alkaline supplement. Then you can concentrate on the best foods, both acidic and alkaline, that serve your overall health aims rather than specifically eat to increase alkaline reserves.

In my opinion this is the easiest way to increase your alkaline reserves.

Ian’s 20 Water ionizer secrets. Number One; hard water.

I’ve decided I need to share more of my knowledge, so I’m going to post 20 of my water ionizer secrets here on my blog. I’m sure you’ll benefit from my experience!

  1. If you have hard water, and too much calcium coming through, you can change the ratio of acid and alkaline water by crimping the acid water hose to reduce flow. This causes more water to pass through the alkaline hose, thus increasing flow and reducing pH. You won’t find this in the manuals, probably because it’s too simple.Excess calcium in your water is a problem in many areas of the world, and is also a problem for your water ionizer. Although it will work well at first, and it has the ability through self-cleanse routines to keep the electrolysis cell free of calcium accretion, the pipes feeding the cell will block up, causing flow problems and possible failure of electronics. Make sure you regularly flush with acid water and watch for calcium accretion on your spout’s outlet. If it’s there, it’s everywhere and you should call your supplier.
