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.
