I recently did a series of tests to determine …

Which Container is Best for Storing Ionized Water?

I often get this question from my water ionizer customers, and have been working on discovering the very best methods of storing ionized water for a while now. So far, I’ve discovered that leaving no gap of air inside the container makes a huge difference in the ability to store ionized water and retain the ORP [antioxidant value], which usually escapes in just a few hours of storage. Also, glass appears to be the best container for retaining the ORP and pH values of the ionized water the longest.

The three containers I used in this trial were: 1) a glass jar [the kind used for jamming], 2) a plastic, BPA free, jar with a pull-type top, and 3) a dark, plastic, BPA-free container with a flip-type spout.  The water ionizer I used was the Jupiter Athena water ionizer.

The videos are all posted here in order. Beginning/pouring note: I filled each container to the brim in attempts to have no air-gap in the bottle at all. The second container was impossible to do this completely because of the cap design. I tested them at different intervals and have posted the results, below, on a chart for your easy reference.

Conclusions: The glass jar is best for storing ionized water, however if you’re drinking the water within a couple of hours, using a plastic, bpa-free, container filled to the brim is good too. The flip-top lid appears to be a bad design for retaining ORP. So avoid lids that have a way for gas to escape.

After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER!  Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

At the request of a customer I made and tested some lemonade today with ionized water from my Athena water ionizer. 

Lemons are known to be one of those fruits that are acidic, when tested before consumption, but have an alkalizing effect on the body. The reason for this is that the ash of lemons [the residue after burning (digestion)] is alkaline. 

What my customer wanted to specifically know was, “What happened to the ORP after adding lemon juice to the ionized water?” So, that’s the subject of this video:

What I discovered, and you can see this in the video, is that the pH dropped from 10.8 to 2.7 in a matter of seconds as it changed from ionized water to ionized lemonade water… after adding the fresh-squeezed juice of 1/4 lemon. However, the ORP only dropped from -736 to -392. This is significant, because -392 ORP is still so high [or I should say "low"] that it’s considered medical quality.

I followed-up by adding in some Stevia and then testing the sweetened ionized water lemonade. The Stevia didn’t change the pH or the ORP. It did make for a great, healthy, naturally-sweet lemonade though. Yum! I recommend it highly.
