What Is Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP)?

What is oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)?

The oxidization reduction potential is the electrical potential needed to reduce or slow down rusting and decay (oxidization). Alkaline water must have a negative ORP in order to be considered good, especially for drinking. ORP is the strength to bond with active oxygen reducing power, and can be measured through electronic hardware. A negative value is desirable for antioxidant power.

Is the ph and ORP produced by a O K S Water Ionizer always the same?

The actual value varies from region to region due to differences in source water. The type of original tap water used affects the quality of Alkaline water and acidic water produced by electrolysis. In cases where the water has excess minerals, the taste may be affected, or alkaline water produced may be too high in pH level. Since the water pressure of the faucet affects the production of water, it is important to confirm that genuine alkaline water is being produced by regularly checking that it is set at the correct pH level, and checking the bubbles. We recommend testing your source water with a TDS meter when setting up your O K S Ionizer which can be calibrated to your TDS for optimum ph water. Then you test the ph of your water with reagent drops that we provide. It's very quick and simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a water ionizer if well water is my water source?

The efficiency of electrolysis can drop when well water is used since it tends to hold a lot of free carbon dioxide, as well as in cases where water comprising only a small amount of electrolytic minerals is used. We recommend that if you are on well water, you contact us with a copy of your well water report and we can make recommendations of specific pre-filters that will greatly improve the taste and performance of your ionized water.


How should I begin drinking Alkaline ionized water?

It is most common to begin by setting a low pH level (between pH8 and pH9.0), and gradually increasing the amount of intake. After continuing regular intake for about two weeks, gradually adjust the pH level and amount of intake (between pH9.0-pH9.5) based on your bodily needs and physical condition. The alkaline water should be as fresh as possible. For children or seniors, set the pH level at an even lower level upon starting, and gradually increase it as the body adjusts to the current pH level.


Can I make my babies formula with alkaline ionized water?

In the case of infants (until about a year old), since breast milk or milk is the only thing they consume, the intestinal movement is generally different from adults, and the use of alkaline ionized water is not encouraged until the infant begins to consume more sophisticated foods. In any case, alkaline water should not be used to make powdered milk for infants. Use the filtered setting instead.


Can I use a O K S Alkaline Water Ionizer with a Reverse Osmosis System?

Yes and No. No, reverse osmosis water cannot be ionized as it has had all of the minerals removed. The solution to that problem is to add a Reminiralizer cartridge between your RO system and your O K S Water Ionizer.


What is the cluster theory of deoxidized water?

Approximately 15years ago, with the help of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) appliance, it was confirmed that water does not exist in single unit molecules, but forms a molecular population (cluster) out of approximately 13 water molecules. These clusters are constantly repeating an aggregation - disaggregation process. The quality of water depends on the size of its clusters. For example, small clusters have active molecules that increase the capacity of water to dissolve elements (solubility), let elements pass through (permeability), and let heat pass through (conduction). Electrolysis causes the water clusters to break, and Alkaline water has clusters made up of five to six water molecules resulting in a lower molecular weight. This is approximately half of that of tap water (12-15 water molecules/cluster) and is very beneficial for your health as the water is able to penetrate the cell and pull out toxins.


Is it difficult to install the under counter water ionizer model?

No, but you will need a 1 3/8 to 1 1/2 inch hole in your sink or countertop to install this under counter ionizer. Either remove a built in soap dispenser, reverse osmosis faucet or us a hole saw to cut a hole or hire a plumber for the install.

If you cut the hole yourself, you will need a:

  • Diamond hole saw to cut granite
  • Carbide grit hole saw for cast iron sinks
  • Standard bi-metal hole saw to cut a stainless steel sink.
  • Full installation can take about an hour and a half.


Where can I find a certified plumber in my area to install the under-counter ionizer?

Visit contractors.com, click on "plumbing," and enter your zip code. A list of certified plumbers in your area will appear on your screen. You can also go to google.com and type "plumber" and your zip code in the search box, and a list of plumbers in your area will come up.


Will the h3 work for people who have the ionizer hooked right up to the faucet?

Yes, it’s real easy though, just hook the faucet diverter up as normal but instead of plugging the line into the ionizer you plug into the "in " side of the h3 then out to the filter.


How much should an install cost?

If you have someone come out and drill the hole and install it for you, it should run $100-$150.


Is there another way to connect the ionizer?

We recommend a direct connection to the cold water line as a more functional arrangement where possible. If you have a spray faucet you can run the line down that same hole and connect underneath. Or consider the G2 acid faucet.


What should be done if I have high water pressure?

Have a plumber adjust the pressure if possible or the plumber will need to install a new pressure regulator for you, this should be done whether you got an ionizer or not. If you have no pressure regulator you should have your plumber install one.


What is the max water pressure my house can have with the O K S ionizers.

Warranty doesn't cover damage from excessive water pressure. The pressure should not exceed 60 psi. Have your water pressure checked before installing. Call your local plumber for inspection, or for $10 you can purchase a water pressure gauge from your local Home Depot and test it yourself. The water pressure gauge simple screws on any outside hose bit and will show you your water pressure when turned on.

Does Tyent USA Make the Best Water Ionizer Machines?

Does Tyent USA Make the Best Water Ionizer Machines?
Tyent USA is unarguably manufactures the best ionization machines… period.  Now recently their flagship ionizer (MMP-9090) and the latest under the counter ionizer (UCE-9000) has made serious improvements to an already top rated unit the MMP-7070.

The major upgrades with Tyent USA’s “Rettin” or MMP-9090 Turbo Extreme is the use of 9 electode plates as opposed to 7 that comes equipped on the Tyent 7070 ionizer.   More is better.  It adds up to more surface area for water to pass over and through and in the end it translates to you being able to produce extremely high and low PH levels.

Tyent USA’s water is truly “Super Water” whether you want a specific PH for drinking or max it out for cleaning or sanitation.

And check this out, the Rettin has an impressive turbo mode that can boost power another 15 watts to 300 watts compared to the Tyent 7070. I’ve reasearched other ionization machines with all kinds of claims but most have to chemically enhance the eletrolysis process with bottles of chemicals that actually read “DO NOT DRINK”.

Hmmm? So, don’t drink the same substance they’re adding to your water to purify it?

Tyent USA has the power now to outperform these same machines with PH levels ranging between 2.0 and 12.0 PH and again, without the use of any chemical compounds.

The Tyent Rettin’s power is unlike any other water system in that it enables you to create highly alkalized or acidic water chemical free.

As always everything in the Rettin water ionizer is covered by a lifetime warranty without the use of the word “limited”. Other ionization company warranties (Jupiter, KYK, or Engaic water ionizers) can only afford to offer 3-5 year warranties that are extremely limited to labor only warranties that include a labor charge cap!

I’ve found that the lifetime value of Tyent USA’s “Rettin” is what makes the $3,300 price tag a lesser issue. My first opinion was that one of the lesser equipped models makes more sense. Besides I don’t need all those bells and whistles.

However, when you further investigate Tyent’s “bells-n-whistles” you realize that many if not all are more than merely modern conveniences or luxuries. Actually you’re paying for additions that help prolong the life and long term benefit of the machine not to mention the quality of the water.

Jupiter Water Ionizer Compared to Tyent Ionizers

Jupiter Water Ionizer Compared to Tyent Ionizers
Jupiter water ionizer reviews don’t often compare the Aquarius or any model to Tyent ionizers.  In some ways it’s like comparing  Mercedes with Dodge.  However, If you are looking to objectively compare the top water ionizer models without being blatantly pitched at then what you are about to read will be a welcomed relief.

Jupiters’ top ionizer comparison to Tyent’s flagship model will be a get to the point, fact based comparison that makes sense. I’ll simply match up the important spec’s of the latest Jupiter Aquarius water ionizer and the Tyent MMP-9090 Turbo water ionizer systems.  Jupiter Science Ionizers have also the Melody, Neptune, and Venus models but for sake of comparison we will review the Jupiter Aquarius ionizer.

The Best Alkaline Water?

Considering all the core components, filtration, and most importantly the PH levels, Tyent ionizers will produce not only a higher water quality but Tyent will also enable you to regulate your existing PH levels so you can fine tune your alkaline water to your exact spec’s.  That’s important.  Especially, if you have well or hard ‘source’ water.

Everyone’s water is different and Tyent allows you to really tune your PH to your source water.   That way you can be 100% sure your output is the best drinking water.   Jupiter’s ionizer prevents you regulating your PH and may or may not produce the best quality water.

Which Ionizer Offers the Most Valuable Price?

In this case the Jupiter ionizer is about $1,900 or about $800 less than Tyents MP-7070 or 9090 Turbo ionizers.

But that’s like asking which better priced:  a Chevy Malibu or Mercedez SL?   So, to be fair and compare apples with apples, Jupiter would better match up with Tyents budget friendly ionizers.


What about the Core Electrode Plates?

Water ionizers effectively use heated electrode plates to electrolyze water.

Similar to the Tyent models,  Jupiter utilizes platinum titanium ‘mesh’ electrode plates allowing water to pass through it for greater surface area and not pass over it. But that’s where the similarity ends. Jupiters plates are relatively small. Tyent produces their “Super Water” because they simply have the biggest and the most amount of electrode plates for water to pass through.

Given surface area is an important consideration for water ionization, Tyent utilizes a total of 9, seven inch vented plates to Jupiters’ 5.

How Does Jupiter Water Ionizer Warranty Compare?

Tyent continues to offer the only lifetime warranty without limitation on their water ionizers. Jupiters warranty is 5 years that continues to diminish over the warranty life span. In the end Jupiter’s water ionizer warranties are 2 years labor only with a $160 cap charge.

TYENT 9090 Rettin Water Ionizer Review

Tyent’s newest machine was the Tyent MMP-7070 water ionizer but now the spec’s on Tyent’s new Rettin water ionizer (MMP-9090) proves it to literally be  “Turbo Extreme“.   If you’ve been searching for the most advanced and unarguably the best water ionizer on the market than Tyents latest flag ship water treatment system has competitors back pedaling.

Many ionizer treatment machines will have some of the same features and components of the 9090 but almost no one can stand toe-to-toe right now and claim they have a better water ionizer than Tyent.

For starters the three most qualified, independent water ionizer review websites have all concluded the Tyent Water Ionizer deservers their top ranking. In addition what is genuinely reassuring is that all three websites that have ranked them at the top are again independent, unbiased, third-party review sites with no affiliation to Tyant USA.

Here’s what makes the flagship Tyent 7070 and 9090 water ionizers unique to all other water ionizers:

1.  The Best Electrode Plates:

The Rettin water ionizer uses the latest mesh plate technology that allows water to flow through instead of merely passing over the electrode plates. Add to that the largest and the most (9 plates) plate surface area available all add up to the fact that there is really no other ionizer that comes closer to producing alkalized “super water” better than Tyent right now.

2. The Best Double Filtration System:

Tyent uses double filtration (carbon and ceramic) and are equipped with the largest filter media in the industry. No other water ionization company including Jupiter, Rettin, Life or Engaic water     ionizer filters can match up.


3. The Best Power Source:

While other ionizers are powered by transformer, Tyent uses a swithced managed power supply or SMPS to regulate its whopping 300 watts. It doesn’t over heat the electrode plates like other machines. Instead it knows when its getting to hot and dials the temperature down. This is why Tyent can offer LIFETIME warranties on components.

4. The Best Warranty:

Tyent ionizers have a simple warranty:  lifetime.  Period.   The word ‘limited’ doesn’t exist in the fine print either. Compare this warranty to any competing water ionizer ‘limited warranty’.  Again, they don’t match up.  It is advisable to purchase direct from the Tyent USA offical Site as opposed to Ebay or other dealer/distributors to ensure you’re getting a brand new machine and not one that’s an ‘open box’ or even a refurbished unit.

Some included ‘bells and whistles’ that are actually important and useful add-ons to the Rettin alkaline water machine are:

Automatic water outflow, LCD ‘touch screen’ with voice announcement, electrolyic antibacterial system that automatically cleans the unit, adjustable PH levels so you know what level PH you’re drinking.

Tyent Water Ionizer: An Honest Review

Tyent water ionizers have been heralded as the Mercedes when it comes to water purifiers. One question when doing my  Tyent ionizer review was how Tyent compares to other top water ionizer machines in the industry?

What I found was that the three leading, independent ionizer review sites all rank Tyent Water Ionizers to be #1. What is genuinely reassuring is that these evaluation sites that have scored Tyent so highly all seem to be wholly 3rd party sites with no back end affiliation.

UPDATE: Here’s The BEST bonus deal out there for any new Tyent water ionizer right now: You get a total of 3 sets of replacement filters ($300 value) plus Tyent’s new portable alkalizer ($67) whenever you buy any of Tyents ionizer units (under-counter ionizer included). And it’s all shipped to your door step for free.

Even better you can add the bonuses on to any ongoing Tyent discount offer. Not sure how long this lasts but I’ve already taken advantage of it.

So, if you’ve done some homework, you know Tyent water ionizers seem to always filter their way to the top of the heap. But there are some back to basic questions that you need to justify this kind of a purchase. In the end you need a water system that is not only the best buy now but will continue to pay dividends years later.

Is it necessary to have the most powerful ionizer?

Typically we would say no to that question with about everything else in life, right? “Son, you don’t need a 505 horse power Mustang Shelby, this here Camry will do the job just fine,” we reply. In most cases that may be true, but when it comes to water ionizers power is more of a necessity than a boastful fact.

Here’s why.

The enemy of alkaline water is heat. Most of the ionizers out there (like Kangen Water machines) will use dated transformers for power boost that can and have been known to cause core components (electrodes) to overheat.

Not even your Camry’s engine could withstand constant overheating.

When you buy Tyent ionizers you get an advanced SMPS (switched managed power supply). In short its a kill switch that prevents the unit from overheating. But you can adjust the power to fit your water source..

When comparing ionizer systems what’s the big deal about the ‘plates’?

Tyent water ionizers have made a huge effort to over deliver in this category. The electrodes or plates are made from super expensive titanium and coated with platinum. The Tyents mesh plate engineering add to a longer living and more efficient machine than any other ionizers out there right now. Period.

As if that weren’t enough Tyent has installed additional plates (Tyent MMP-9090 utilizes 9) and larger plates to again improve the water electrolysis surface coverage. More and bigger is better.

Is it necessary to have the most powerful ionizer?

Typically we would say no to that question with about everything else in life, right? “Son, you don’t need a 505 horse power Mustang Shelby, this here Camry will do the job just fine,” we reply. In most cases that may be true, but when it comes to water ionizers power is more of a necessity than a boastful fact.

Here’s why.

The enemy of alkaline water is heat. Most of the ionizers out there will use dated transformers for power boost that can and have been known to cause core components (electrodes) to overheat.

Just like your cars engine, ionizers can’t last long if they have to withstand constant overheating.

When you buy Tyent ionizers you’re  getting power that is what they call SMPS (switched managed power supply).  In short its power with a kill switch that prevents the unit from overheating.   It also enables you to adjust the power to fit your water source..

What about Filtration? What’s the best water filtration systems consist of?

What you need to consider about water filters is first, does it filtrate really well. As in

how well compared to other ionizers. And second, what’s the average life span of the filter and how often does it need replaced? Finally, how much are you going to take a hit once you need to replace it?

First Tyent water filters are one of the few companies that offer dual or double filtration (carbon and ceramic) that filters all the way to 99.99% purity. Single filtration ionizer machines can’t offer the same purity as Tyent.

This extreme filtration also gives the machine the largest physical filters bar none. Larger filters simply translate to more room for the filters to do their job: removing stuff that your body doesn’t need so you get pure alkaline water that’s chemical and toxin free.

The good news is that a pair of filters will last about 1 year

Warranty Considerations:

Tyent “Turbo” water ionizer machines include a lifetime Warranty on parts and labor.  No other ionizer companies offer more than a 7 year limited warranty.
