What Does the Freezing Process Do to the Ionized Water?

When you freeze ionized water, what does that process do to the ionized water?
Taking ionized water directly from a water ionizer and pouring it into ice cube trays, and then freezing it…will your pH and ORP from ionization cancel out, reduce, or stay the same? And if so, how much?
In these videos, I demonstrate filling ice cube trays with ionized water from Level 3 of my Tyent 7070 water ionizer at 11.25 pH and -853 ORP. When the cubes were frozen, they were removed, placed in a cup and allowed to thaw out.
The 2nd video shows the testing of the water after thawing out.
As you can see in the videos, the fresh ionized water taken directly from the water ionizer had a high pH and ORP, yet, when frozen and thawed, the pH reduced from 11.25 to 9.96 [still alkaline, but greatly reduced.] The ORP was even more drastic of a reduction. It went from -853 to +102 [a 955 point rise!].
Conclusion: The product of frozen ionized water is still filtered water, still alkaline even though greatly reduced, and has changed vectors to a positive ORP. Therefore…
If you’re making ice, go ahead and use your strongest alkaline setting! Also… ice is far less healthy for you than fresh ionized water straight from the water ionizer.

You might be confusing the freezing process with exposing ionized water to the air for extended times. To verify that the freezing process reduces the alkalinity of the ionized water, you want to cover the trays with plastic to block the air and when you thaw out the water, pour a fresh glass of ionized water, and expose it to air for an equivalent amount of time the melting ice is being exposed and see if there is a significant difference in alkalinity between the frozen and unfrozen water.
