There are several tools we use to determine the healthiness of ionized water, or any water for that matter, and the most reliable of them is rH (relative Hydrogen). The relative Hydrogen is derived from the pH and ORP of the water being tested. This is a more accurate measure of the healthiness of the water than using the pH or ORP measures by themselves, because it eliminates the effects of the level of pH on the ORP result. In other words, as you raise pH in a substance through ionization, the ORP negativity will be higher, suggesting a better, but false, result. The result you want from a water ionizer is a higher negative-ORP without too high of a pH. The use of this simple formula will put the pH and ORP into relation with each other and reveal the true reducing effect (healthiness) of the water being tested. The use of this formula is a must in comparing water ionizers.

The formula for rH is: (ORP + 200) / 30 + (2xpH)

pH: Our bodies tend to store acids in order to maintain the neutral balance required for survival. Therefore alkalinity in diet, through our diet & our water, will promote the ability of the cells to release these stored wastes (cleanse our bodies). Both ionized water and a diet of plenty of green leafy vegetables will promote a healthy detox of the acidity in your cells.
ORP: The ORP of the water is another method of testing its healthiness. Tap water is found in the positive ranges of about +200 – +400. This is oxidizing and will cause free radicals. The ionization of water reduces the ORP to the negative range and so caused the water to be antioxidizing and healthier for our consumption.
