What is water ionization and why is it needed: a specialist answers
In this article we will talk about what it is - a water ionizer, what benefits it has and whether it is even worth doing additional water treatment at home. Sit back, we're starting!

How does a water ionizer work?
The production of ionized liquid was still being studied at the beginning of the last century. It was "common" that all water should be treated with a silver object or baking soda. This way it was obtained without harmful bacteria and improved well-being.
It is worth saying that this method does not bring a significant transformation of water, since one important element is missing to start a full-fledged chemical reaction - a constant electrical discharge.
What is water ionization? An ionizer is a compact water treatment equipment. It has several chambers that allow the production of acidic or alkaline water for home use. Method of operation of the water ionizer:
- Primary liquid enters the device and passes through the filtration system. Under the influence of the filter, heavy metals, salts, sand and other pollutants are removed from the water.
- The filtered water flows into the next compartment. An electrical element is placed in it - here the order of charges of the elements of the liquid is compared.
- As the water passes through the ionization machine, special compartments are replenished with the finished liquid – alkaline. And it is already recommended to eat it and just drink it. It contains useful elements (calcium, potassium, etc.), and is also used as a bactericidal agent and for traditional medicine.
Why do you need a water ionizer and is there any real benefit from it?
The constant consumption of water from an ionizer, enriched with a huge number of useful micro- and macroelements, should be carried out systematically - otherwise the effect will be unnoticeable or minimal.
Installing a stationary ionizer of one of the types allows you to develop the habit of constantly drinking harmless water, which gives vital energy and tone to the body.
Additionally, purchasing a device with ionizing properties guarantees the availability of a constant source of “living” water for cooking. You can drink water with pleasure and not be afraid of harmful impurities - they simply are no longer there, even if they were in the original version.
It is worth saying that if you violate the rules for using a household appliance (for example, you forgot or simply do not drain the remaining recycled liquid, do not promptly clean the inside of the appliance from ionizer products, the filter is replaced at the last moment), there is a high probability of getting very harmful water with a high concentration of ions. And this option can neither be drunk nor used for cooking. But there is an alternative.
High concentration solutions are used for inhalations, healing baths or lotions. But if water gets into the internal passages, the result is disastrous. The minimum is long-term illness.
To protect yourself from unpleasant consequences, you must constantly check and clean your ionization device.Do not forget about timely replacement of filters and other consumables, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Always read it, because there is a lot of useful information there.
What effect does the water ionization system have on the body?
Water obtained from the electrolyzer. Back in the 90s of the last century, scientists from the land of the “rising sun” established: in order to get at least some effect from alkaline water, you need to drink at least 7-10 liters of it per day! Therefore, there is no point in worrying about whether constantly drinking alkaline water is beneficial. Despite the fact that the average consumption of mineral water is a liter per day.
You can read additional scientific articles or journal publications. There is only one conclusion - even in Japan it has become a taboo to say that alkaline water is beneficial for the human body.
There is also an opinion that such a solution disinfects the body and treats skin diseases. This is also a very contradictory statement. A study was conducted that revealed the complete ineffectiveness of electrolyzer devices in the treatment of dermatological diseases.
The same study partially confirmed that electrolyzer water accelerates wound healing. But large scientific studies have not yet been carried out.
The only option where alkaline water is actively used is hemodialysis. But there filters are used not to obtain drinking water, but to extinguish hemodialysis elements. You understand the operating principle and influence of the water ionizer. Let's move on to the next option.
Hydrogen with hydrogen elements. This version of “ionized” water has not been thoroughly studied. It is assumed that hydrogen placed in a liquid medium should act as an antioxidant.
This is a substance that neutralizes “harmful oxygen” that destroys our tissues.
Studies conducted on other types of antioxidants (C, E) have shown that they are ineffective against heart disease, for the lungs, and are absolutely useless for cancer tumors and improving mental abilities.
Water obtained by ionization of metals. Water containing useful metal particles has not yet been used anywhere. The global health system believes that the effect of disinfecting drinking water in this way has not been proven. And in general, metal ions have almost no effect on harmful bacteria and viruses. Or they work too long. For example, an ionizer can eliminate hospital-acquired pneumonia in only 6-72 hours!
Conclusion: water with silver ions does not affect the human body in any way - neither positive nor negative.
