How do you install it?

The JP107 has an adapter/diverter that fits onto the kitchen tap. It just screws into it, and allows you to use the tap as before, or divert the water to the ionizer. Installation involves push fitting two small tubes, you attach one end of the white tube to the tap, the other to the inlet pipe of the ionizer. The other is for the acidic water, just push it into the acid outlet nob of the ionizer. You can collect the acidi water in a bucket and use it for washing and as a disinfectant.

The diverter has a lever that you turn whenever you want ionized water. The ionizer starts automatically as the water flows into it. You will hear a melody, while it self cleans. This lasts some 15 seconds, after which you can use the water. You can stop this self-cleaning process by pressing the touch control buttons.

You can use these touch controls to adjust the required pH.

You don't need any special fittings so long as your tap has the required end bit.

Why can't I just drink tap water or bottled mineral water?

You can, and if you don't have an ionizer you should. But you probably won't get the water habit as both types of water are difficult to drink as your tummy feels full after drinking a little. This is because as the water molecules are arranged in large clusters, the water doesen't flow so well, or hydrate a well as ionized water, which has much smaller clusters. Ionized water is also called 'Light Water', because it feels light on the tummy, you'll find that you can drink lots of it, without feeling bloated. Ionized water is alkaline and well oxygenated which makes it very good at washing out the toxins from the cells.

Tap water contains chemicals that are deliberetly added to the water to kill germs, as well as other chemicals that the water authorities don't bother removing as they think it would be expensive.

Bottled mineral water is better, but it can be contaminated. Also, as it has been kept in the plastic bottles for long time, some of the dangerous chemicals from the plastic leach into the water.

Your best bet if you don't have a water ionizer is to drink active carbon/charcoal filtered water.

Better still, get yourself a water ionizer, it could be the most important thing that you buy for your health.

Why is a Water Ionizer expensive?

Water Ionizers compare favourably with other filteration systems. If you think of all the additional health and longevity benefits, it's not expensive.

It is an effective way to remove toxins; if you don't remove the toxins from your body your health will suffer even though you feel that you 'saved' some money. I would say that not buying it is expensive, it could cost you your health.

When compared with cost of bottled water over a period of time, the ionizer will pay for itself in a year or so, and is much more beneficial. In addition you are getting alkaline nutrients from the water in the form of beneficial hydroxil ions (OH-) and ionic minerals like calcium in a very bio-active ionic form. If you were to buy such supplements daily, they would cost you a fortune!

Can I return it if I don't like it?

A water ionizer is significant purchase. To make it eassier to decide, we offer a full money back guarantee, so if you try the ionizer and don't get the benefits that you expected, just send it back to us within 30 days for a full refund.

So your only risk will be the small cost of postage!

What sort of negative charge does this produce (ORP) , could you tell me the PH level?

The actual ORP and pH depend on your tap water supply. The JP107 specs have an ORP around -300, pH upto 10. People have measured ORP's of -700 with the Microlite. On ours, running at max flow with London water, we get a pH of 8.5, which is fine. Japanese doctors recommend drinking alkaline water with pH between 8-9.

I have notice there are such products as Kangan water makers.They inticate that they make micro water (smaller water molicules apparently). Is this product the same sort of thing?

Yes it's the same. Kangan is a multi-level marketing type org. read this page:

What would I do about the missing minerals from the filtered water.would I need to add in mineral supplement?

No, the filteration process does not filter out the beneficail alkaline minerals, so you don't need to supplement them. In fact, it changes the minerals into a colloidal form, which makes them easier to absorb.

I am looking for something that will clean out all of the Chlorine and other harmful elements, I am also looking for a filter that makes the water alkaline and the system that I am looking for is something that will do it for the entire house instead of just the tap at the kitchen sink.

Do you have anything like that? If you don't, where can I find it?

Sorry, we don't have units that filter and ionize the whole house. I don't think you can get any such devices anywhere. You can get charcoal filters to filter all your mains water, and use a water ionizer for drinking alkaline water. Alternately, you can get these replaceable charcoal filters that attach to the ends of shower units. Personally, I don't think that all that many tap water based toxins can get through your skin, so long as you don't ingest them. Incidentally, acid water is good for the skin/washing.

Apart from alkaline water do we also get a separate hose that filters out acidic water ?

Yes, there is a spout (for alkaline water), and a grey 'waste' pipe from which you get acidic water. Both water have been filtered, purified, so can be used - the acid for washing/steralising fruit/meat, skin, etc. Alkaline water for drinking, making tea, rice, mixing with drinks and so on.

Other Frequently Asked Questions about Water lonizers

1. What is ionization?

Ionization is the process of converting liquids or particles wholly or partly into ions, it simply means gaining or losing an electron.

Ionized water is water that has undergone the process of ionization through a water ionizer. Ionized water either becomes alkaline or acid, meaning that minerals have been segregated accordingly and the pH has been adjusted up or down.

Pure distilled water does not ionize, and so is useless for ionization. You need hard water, which contains minerals (and impuriies) for ionization.

2. How does a water ionizer produce ionized water?

Water runs through positive and negative electrodes which ionize the water by the mechanism of attraction. This is then separated into alkaline and acid water as it passes through membranes.

Water Ionization is accomplished by repelling the water now that it has been "charged" into positive and negative ions. It does not split the wate molecules, rather it separates the ions tat are in the tap water. If you pass distilled or de-ionized water through the units, you'll not get any ionization, and the water at both ends will measure neutral.

3. What is pH balance?

The degree of alkalinity of a solution is measured in terms of a value known as pH, which is tie negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions. On the Ph scale, which ranges from 0 (acid) to 14 (alkaline), a solution is neutral if its pH is 7.

Our body pH should be slightly alkaline and should be approximately 7.5 measured via saliva or urine. Blood pH should be 7.365 ideally.

4. What is ionized alkaline water?

Ionized alkaline water is healthy drinking water. It is full of oxygen molecules and extra electrons (energy). This is as active hydroxyl ions. Once the hydroxyl ions donates i'ts extra electrons to free radicals (oxygen molecules that are missing one electron), you are left with plenty of productive oxygen. This exchange happens at the cellular level, where the oxygen is needed.

Ionized alkaline water typically contains only six water molecules per cluster instead of ten to thirteen of conventional water. Its smaller hexagon-shaped molecular structure is particularly beneficial to life, and is typically seen in living mountain spring waters. Stagnant waters would measure cluster sizes similar to tap water.

This compatibility to the living water in our body promotes cell health and resistance to aging. This "reduced" water is more hydrating than conventional water and is extremely detoxifying.

In addition, ionized alkaline water is also effective as a powerful antioxidant. People spend a lot on antioxidants to neutralize free radicals that cause diseases, aging and cancer. Ionized water is an antioxidant in liquid form that is easily absorbed by the body, making it more effective and powerful than costly antioxidant tablets in neutralizing free radicals.

Our diet is extremely acidic. Soft drinks and fast or processed food deposit acid waste in our bodies that builds up over time and creates an ideal environment for various diseased to thrive. Cancer patients for instance are extremely acidic. This is invariably true with children if they are chronic so drink consumers, many may end up with serious diseases at a very young age.

Maintaining an alkaline pH (8.5 to 1.5) makes it difficult for degenerative diseases to thrive. It may take years depending on how acidic our bodies are, but ionized alkaline water will eventually flush out acid wastes.

5. Why should I drink ionized alkaline water?

Drinking ionized alkaline water regularly will:

• Give you lots of energy
• Wash acid waste (toxins) from the body
• Hydrate the body three to six times more effectively than conventional water
• Allow you to absorb nutrients more effectively
• Make powders such as flour mix more thoroughly and smoothly
• Promote overall health and healing by balancing the body's pH

6. Who should drink ionized alkaline water?

Everyone should drink ionized alkaline water. It is beneficial to some degree to everyone. Athletes, for instance, will benefit from it immensely by regularly drinking strongly ionized alkaline water, their blood oxygen levels will rise resulting in increased stamina and endurance, and providing muscle tissue and organs with high amounts of oxygen.

It also gives children great amounts of oxygen that helps their bodies function efficiently. as with everyone else who drinks it. Having extra amounts of oxygen in our blood naturally helps us to fight disease and build up a strong immune system. Since children usually have no accumulated toxins in their bodies, they will suffer none of the ill effects of detoxification such as headaches, diarrhea, etc.

7. How should I drink ionized alkaline water?

Start level 1 of the pH selector of your Water ionizer, drinking 3 to 5 glasses per day. if the water agrees with you, increase the amount of water you drink and the level of ionization intensity.

As the antioxidant effects are more powerful as the pH level rises, you should take your time building up to higher levels. This will depend partly on what kind of physical shape you are in when you start drinking ionized alkaline water. For instance, if you have made a conscious effort to eat well and keep your body detoxified, you can start drinking ionized alkaline water at level three.

If you have been on medication for some time, or live on a diet of processed food, or a diet devoid of fresh fruits or vegetables, you may need to begin drinking ionized alkaline water at level one. Start by drinking an 8-ounce glass of water slowly. If you do no level any negative effects, try another glass later within the day. If you still do not feel any negative effects, then move up to the next level in the days that follow until you reach level five. The stronger the ionized alkaline water you drink, the better it is in detoxifying your body.

8. Is drinking high intensity ionized alkaline water advisable?

Yes. We should start drinking ionized alkaline water at the lowest level and slowly work our way up, since we spent most of our lives accumulating acid waste within our bodies. ionized alkaline water from a Water ionizer has different levels of intensity. If the average person immediately drinks strongly ionized alkaline water, he could suffer headaches or diarrhea due to the water's strong detoxification quality. This is particularly true for elderly people and those who have a very poor diet or have taken a lot of medicine.

You will, of course, experience more energy as the ionization intensity increases.

9. Can a person become too alkaline from drinking ionized alkaline water?

No. People have been known to drink as much as two gallons of ionized alkaline water daily and have not been harmed from it. On the contrary, the most common imbalance that leads to health problems is too much acidity. The more acidic we are, the greater the chances for diseases such as cancer and arthritis to flourish. People who are always sick have very low body pH, the sicker they are, the lower their body pH level.

10. Does ionized alkaline water have any negative effects?

Absolutely none as long as it is used properly. Drink only ionized alkaline water, never drink ionized acid water. So far, no negative effects have been observed from the proper use of ionized water, either alkaline or acidic.

11. What is acid water?

Acid water is full of hydrogen ions and other acidic minerals (phosphorus, sulfur, etc.) which makes it an excellent cleansing and sterilizing agent. This water is for external use only and should never be ingested. Its multitude of benefit includes.

• Killing bacteria, especially those found in vegetables, fruit, meat and fish
  
• Helping heal cuts, blisters, scrapes and rashes
  
• Providing relief from mosquito bites, bee stings, poison ivy and poison oak
  
• Making hair shinier and smoother
  
• Working as a skin astringent; helps in the treatment of acne, eczema and fungi like athlete's foot
• Relieves chapped, dry and itchy skin
• Effectively removing plaque from teeth, an can be used in lieu of toothpaste
• Relieving sore throat and mouth sores when used for gargling
• Promoting plant growth and health, especially herbs and wheat grass
• Extending the life of cut flowers
• 
  

12. How does ionized alkaline water taste compared with conventional water?

A common remark regarding the taste of ionized alkaline water is that it tastes smoother and more delicious than conventional water. This is due to the smaller size of the molecular clusters. It also makes better coffee, tea and juice, and is excellent for cooking because it helps hydrate the food and bring out its flavor. n addition, ionized alkaline water does not make you feel bloated even if you drink a lot of it at once, compared with regular water.

13. How long does ionized alkaline water stay ionized?

Though it is recommended that people drink freshly ionized alkaline water from a Water ionizer, the water can also be stored, preferably in sealed glass bottles. Properties Approximate life span:

• Antioxidant (active electrons) 18 to 24 hours
  
• High pH (alkaline properties) 1 to 2 weeks

• Smaller molecular cluster size 1 to 3 months
