Pot Water Ionizer
Top ionizers have been known since 1931. They are the most original and simplest form of obtaining electrolytically activated water. None of the manufacturers have yet received a design award for it. Functionality is the priority. The devices cost around a third of what you have to invest in a suitable continuous water ionizer. They consist of an electrolysis cell with a cathode chamber (1) and anode chamber (2), which are separated by a diaphragm membrane (3). The chambers are filled manually with filtered water (4). The electrolysis is powered by a DC power supply and controlled using control buttons with a timer.
The AQUAVOLTA® BTM 3000 shown here has a capacity of 2 x 2 liters. In one operation (30 - 90 minutes depending on water hardness), 2 liters of alkaline active water for drinking (ALKALINE WATER) can be produced and filled into the supplied 2 liter storage container (5) using a tapping mechanism. At the same time, 2 liters of acidic (ACIDIC) residual water is created. When commissioning you have to Determine the electrolysis time required for the desired value of pH 9 – 9,5, which is specific to the water to be used and cannot be predicted exactly. As a rule of thumb you can state:
- soft water up to hardness dH 9: approx. 30 min.
- medium hard with hardness dH 10 - 15: approx. 45 minutes - hard water dH 16
- 20: approx. 60 mins – very hard dH 21-25: approx. 75 mins
- extremely hard over dH 25: 90 and more minutes.
“Hardness” (°dH) means the total hardness in German degrees of hardness, which you can find out from your water supplier. 1 °dH corresponds to 0,1783 mmol/l. and 1,78 °fH (French hardness).
