Unboxing Bluevua ROPOT Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis System

< Back To All Blogs

12/11/2022

I bought this Bluevua's ROPOT Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis (RO) System to be able to offer to our water customers a world class countertop RO system that produces excellent drinking water for years to come. We evaluate new systems, and if they pass our rigorous testing then we recommend them to our customers. This countertop RO system is perfect for people who want clean drinking water without having to do any special plumbing under their kitchen sink. It’s the perfect size and it looks nice on your counter. It will generate a lot of interest from your friends and family that see it, and you can take pride knowing you are helping the environment by not having to constantly buy bottled water.

I am absolutely thrilled to own Bluevua's ROPOT Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis (RO) System.  This system is absolutely streamlined and elegantly designed. The dark blue color adds to the system’s elegance. It has curved, smoothed, and beveled edges which make it look like an expensive countertop RO system. System comes with a 1.2-liter borosilicate glass carafe and a glass infuser for making fruit infused water. Included are six different recipes for making fruit-infused water, and the system setup instructions are written well and easy to follow. This system is slightly smaller from Bluevua’s regular ROPOT system but is it still large enough to make enough RO water for an entire family of 2-3 people.  You simply plug it in, flush the six-stage single filter, and start making clean RO water for the entire family with no plumbing needed!

This countertop RO system has a single filter which has all six stages needed for producing high quality RO water.  The great thing about a single filter is that changing it is a breeze as opposed to the inconvenience of having to change six different filters on a tank RO system.  The first stage is 5-Micron Polypropylene Fabric to remove large particles like silt, sand, rust, and dirt.  The second stage is Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Filter to absorb chlorine and chloramine.  The third stage is a Food Grade RO Antiscalant to eliminate mineral scale to prevent the scaling and fouling of the RO filter membrane.  The fourth stage is a 1-Micron Polypropylene Fabric to remove smaller particles to further protect and extend the lifetime of the RO membrane.  The fifth stage is the Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter to remove lead, arsenic, bacteria, virus, fluoride, pesticides, and 1000+ other harmful contaminants.  The sixth stage is a Post Carbon Filter to condition and further improve the taste of the water.

The ROPOT Lite RO system has a real-time filtered water quality indicator (e.g. real-time Total Dissolved Solids measurement).  There is a button on the LED interface to pick the volume of water to produce – 1.2L or 0.65L with a water volume indicator.  ROPOT Lite RO system has a filter life indicator, so you know when to change the ROPOT Lite water filter, and there is a manual flush button so you can flush the system when a new filter replacement is installed.

The first time you use the countertop system you need to clean the glass carafe and the water tank with hot water. To clean out the protective liquid in the four filters you need to fill the RO tank to the max level and run the water through the machine 4-6 times. After each time throw the water away in the carafe and repeat the process. During the first two rounds, the raw water in the tank will automatically be filled into the filters, therefore there may be no water coming out in this phase. For the first 3-5 rounds, it is normal that the pure RO water may turn black.

Using this countertop RO system will produce you drinking water with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measurement between 5-15 parts per million (ppm) depending on your water source. This TDS level is the same as excellent quality drinking water you would pay for in the store that is created in a similar way through an industrial reverse osmosis process. Save your money, stop buying bottled water, and protect the environment by investing in the Bluevua ROPOT Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis System.

Unboxing Bluevua Six Stage Reverse Osmosis System (100 GPD at 0.26L/Min Flow)

< Back To All Blogs

4/29/2022

I bought this Bluevua Six Stage Reverse Osmosis System (100 GPD at 0.26L/Min Flow) to keep a constant flow of reverse osmosis (RO) re-mineralized water flowing into my John Ellis Living Water Machine (LWM-5) Distiller. This RO system does NOT have an auto shut off valve like other tankless reverse osmosis systems. The two hour auto shut off valve is inconvenient on other tankless RO systems because you have to turn it back on every two hours to keep a constant flow of water running into the John Ellis Living Water Machine. You can’t beat the price point for this RO system when you consider filtration performance for contaminant removal, mineral removal and a constant flow rate for the John Ellis Water Machine. When the reverse osmosis water storage tank is full, it also puts a good flow rate through my Kangen K8 Water Ionizer as well.

The system is packaged very well and protected during shipping.  You will notice the package care in the video below.  It was easy to get each item out of the box without having to turn the box upside down. The packaging engineer is did a fantastic job because I did not even have to turn it upside down to get the reverse osmosis system (RO) out.

Let’s first talk about the filters that come with this system.  The Coconut Carbon Block Filter (CTO) removes all the additional chlorine and organic matters from the water without releasing carbon ashes.  It must be replaced yearly.  The Granular Activated Carbon Filter (GAC) absorbs heavy chlorine, and chlorine by-products such as chloramine, THM and TCE.  It must be replaced yearly.  The Polypropylene Sediment Filter (PP) removes dirt, corrosion, sediment, red worms, sand, and other physical particles.  This is also used to protect the back filters.  The Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter (RO) removes heavy metals, bacteria, virus, and other harmful substances. It must be replaced every two years.  The Mineral Ball filter consistently releases easily absorbed minerals, all essential to the human body, into the drinking water.  It puts calcium, magnesium, selenium, strontium, potassium, and healthy salts with other trace minerals back in the RO water.  The Mineral Ball filter must be replaced yearly.  The quality of the filters is world-class, and replacement filters are budget friendly.  When replacing the filters I love the pull forward, drop and go feature that allows any customers to change each of the filters in seconds.

Using this RO system personally has reduced the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of my water from 350-400 parts per million (PPM) in the tap water down to 10-20 PPM.  This is incredible performance, and I know my health is being protected when I can validate the performance myself with a basic TDS meter.  I have a water production business at home, and the quality of the water I sell has also improved. My customers are always asking me what kind of setup I have because they love the taste of the water we produce so much.  Well, this is part of our prefiltration setup, and now you know.

Unboxing Bluevua X6-500GPD Five Stage Tankless Reverse Osmosis System

< Back To All Blogs

4/20/2022

I bought this Bluevua X6-500GPD Five Stage Tankless Reverse Osmosis System to be able to offer to our water customers a world class RO system that produces excellent drinking water for years, so you don’t have to continue to buy bottled drinking water. We evaluate new systems, and if they pass our rigorous testing then we recommend them to our customers. This system is a high-capacity flow system can fill a cup of water in only ten seconds.

This system is elegantly designed, and hookup is absolutely streamlined. The inlet water line (white), drain line (black), and clean water line (blue) all plug into the side of the RO system, so they stay untangled when the system is completely hooked up. All parts are included for a seamless hookup in under thirty minutes. The only prerequisite for any RO system is you must have an electrical outlet under the sink to plug the RO system into. Most of the time you will have this because your garbage disposal and dishwasher need an electrical outlet too.

The system is packaged very well and protected during shipping.  All accessory parts are easily identified, and the instructions are clearly written and easy to follow so system setup can be done with ease with minimal plumbing experience.

Let us first talk about the filters that come with this system.  The Polypropylene Activated Carbon Filter (PCP) removes dirt, corrosion, sediment, chlorine, red worms, sand, organic matters, and other physical particles.  This is also used to protect the back filters, and it must be replaced yearly. The Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter (RO) removes bacterial, virus, antibiotics and other harmful substances, heavy metals, and pesticide residues from water. It must be replaced every two years. The Carbon Filter (CF) improves the taste of the water by filtering additional chlorine, peculiar smells, and odors, and it must be replaced yearly.   The quality of these filters is world-class, and replacement filters are budget friendly.  When replacing the filters you slide the cover off the side of the RO system, pull the filter forward, turn the filter, pull the older one out, and then put it the new one and turn it into place (10 seconds to replace).

This tankless RO system comes with a water leakage protector that plugs into the back of the system. It will make a sound and alert you if there is a water leak or humidity detected in or around the area of the RO system and automatically shut off the system. There is a smart LED display with a filter life monitor and built-in real-time total dissolved solids (TDS) monitoring to track filter quality and lifespan. This is very convenient if you forget to keep track of when you first started using the filters.

Using this RO system personally has reduced the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of my water from 350-400 parts per million (PPM) in the tap water down to 15-25 PPM (bottled water quality).  This is incredible performance, and I know my health is being protected when I can validate the performance myself with a basic TDS meter.  I have a water production business at home, and the quality of the water I sell has also improved.

Unique features of RO system: Side panel that covers the filters is held on by magnets instead of plastic clips which can break easily.  I absolutely love this unique feature, and I outline it in the video below.

Improvements to the RO system: The only improvement I can think of is it is not clear how far forward to pull the filter when you need to replace it.  You need to be careful and pull it out slowly because the part that the filter plugs into will contact / touch the plastic top of the RO system.  Just use care when you are replacing the filters and you will have no issues.

What are antioxidants, and why are they good for you?

< Back To All Blogs

4/18/2022

The thing you may not have known about antioxidants is you can get them in your water when you drink alkaline ionized water infused with molecular hydrogen.  You can get more antioxidants through drinking alkaline ionized water than you can through eating antioxidant rich foods daily! 

Alkaline ionized water has more antioxidants in a single glass than broccoli, blueberries, banana, red cabbage, green tea, and spinach consumed.  In fact, it would take 1 kilogram or 2.2 pounds of blueberries to equate to the antioxidants in a single glass of alkaline ionized water.  Read more below to learn about free radicals, oxidative stress, antioxidants, and what antioxidant-rich food you can pair with your daily alkaline ionized water to supercharge your daily antioxidant intake.

What are free radicals? Free radicals are waste substances produced by cells as the body processes food and reacts to the environment. A free radical is an unbalanced molecule with an unpaired electron. It needs another electron to be stable and steals it from your cells. They are also known as reactive oxygen species (ROS).  Factors that increase the production of free radicals in the body can be internal, such as inflammation, or external, for example, pollution, UV exposure, cigarette smoke, industrial solvents, pesticides, drugs, chemotherapy, and excessive exercise. If the body cannot process and remove free radicals efficiently the result is oxidative stress.

What is oxidative stress? Oxidative Stress is defined as a disturbance in the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) and antioxidant defenses, and it can harm cells and bodily functions.

For example, oxidation is what's happening to the apple in this picture below or to iron when it rusts. Oxidation happens inside our bodies all the time and contributes to diseases. Oxidation is a chemical reaction where Active Oxygen (O2+) and other free radicals circulate the body, stealing electrons and damaging the cells.

Oxidative stress has been linked to heart disease, cancer, arthritis, stroke, respiratory diseases, immune deficiency, emphysema, Parkinson’s disease, and other inflammatory or ischemic conditions. Antioxidants protect against oxidative stress.

What are antioxidants? Antioxidants are substances that can prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals.  Antioxidants also act as radical scavenger, hydrogen donor, electron donor, peroxide decomposer, singlet oxygen quencher, enzyme inhibitor, synergist, and metal-chelating agents.  The best sources of antioxidants are plant-based foods, especially fruits and vegetables and alkaline ionized water.  Foods that are particularly high in antioxidants are often referred to as a superfoods. 

What foods are high in antioxidants? CHOCOLATE – dark chocolate; DAIRY – eggs, cheese, whole milk; FRUITS – apples, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, corn, cranberries, mangoes, oranges, plums, pomegranates, red grapes, goji berries, papaya, prunes, raspberries, strawberries, watermelon; GRAINS – rice, wheat; LEGUMES - black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans; MEATS – liver, herring, salmon, trout, tuna, sardines, mackerel; NUTS – almonds, cashews, chestnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, peanut butter, walnuts; OILS – sunflower and vegetable oil; TEAS – green and black tea; VEGETABLES – artichokes, beats, bell peppers, carrots, corn, eggplants, kale peas, potatoes, red cabbage, spinach, tomatoes.

The quality of these filters is world-class, and replacement filters are budget friendly.  When replacing the filters you pull the filter toward you from the bottom, twist, and then replace it with a new one (8 seconds to replace each filter).

The countertop RO system has three volume settings that let you know when a 1/2 liter, 1 liter, or 1.5 liters of clean reverse osmosis water has been produced. You simply fill RO tank with tap water and then push the round water-making button on the front of the machine, and it will begin the process of producing reverse osmosis water.

The first time you use the countertop system you need to clean the glass carafe and the water tank with hot water. To clean out the protective liquid in the four filters you need to fill the RO tank to the max level and run the water through the machine 4-6 times. After each time throw the water away in the carafe and repeat the process. During the first two rounds, the raw water in the tank will automatically be filled into the filters, therefore there may be no water coming out in this phase. For the first 3-5 rounds, it is normal that the pure RO water may turn black due to activated carbon particles.

Using this countertop RO system will produce you drinking water with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measurement between 15-30 parts per million (ppm) depending on your water source. This TDS level is the same as excellent quality drinking water you would pay for in the store that is created in a similar way through an industrial reverse osmosis process. Using this countertop RO system, I know my health is being protected when I can validate the performance myself with a basic TDS meter.

How do we compare Essentia water alkalinity to Kangen alkalinity fairly?

< Back To All Blogs

1/27/2022

What is the deal with Essentia alkaline water? Is it bad for you?

Essentia alkaline water is bottled 9.5 potential hydrogen (pH) alkaline water. The ingredients in Essentia alkaline water are purified water (by reverse osmosis), sodium bicarbonate, dipotassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate and calcium chloride and electrolytes for taste. They purify their water with reverse osmosis to start with the cleanest kind of water with 99% of contaminants removed. In removing contaminants precious minerals are also removed that have to be added back in after reverse osmosis.

Let’s start with some of the basics by understanding the ingredients in Essentia alkaline water:

• Many waters with a pH < 6.5 are acidic, soft, and corrosive. Sodium compounds like sodium bicarbonate are added during water treatment in order to raise the pH level of the water by chemically neutralizing the acidity as well as to soften the water. In raising the pH you also make the water alkaline.

• Dipotassium Phosphate is used as a preservative and a flavor enhancer. This artificial type of salt is made from the elements sodium and phosphorus.

• Magnesium Sulfate is an inorganic salt (e.g. Epsom salt). It is a naturally occurring mineral that is important for many systems in the body especially the muscles and nerves. Magnesium sulfate also increases water in the intestines and helps with constipation. It is added to water in a very small amount as a flavor enhancer.

• Calcium Chloride is an inorganic salt used as an electrolyte in bottled water. Calcium chloride ingested in large amounts can cause health problems, but the trace amounts found in your water bottles is safe. They regulate fluid levels in the body, keep the blood’s pH level balanced and enable muscle contractions like the beating of your heart.

The next question to ask is do bottled water with ingredients like the ones above harm your heath?

None of this should be cause for health concerns, says Marion Nestle, professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health and professor of Sociology at New York University. The additives being put into water are those naturally found in water and the quantities of these additives are likely too small to be of much significance. “If you had pure water by itself, it doesn’t have any taste,” says Bob Mahler, Soil Science and Water Quality professor at the University of Idaho. “So companies that sell bottled water will put in calcium, magnesium or maybe a little bit of salt.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that Americans reduce current levels of sodium intake by 2,300 mg per day, so you would have to drink a lot of water to make much of a difference. The typical amount of sodium in water averages at around 17 mg per liter (e.g. 33.8 ounces). A bottle of water is typically 16.9 ounces. This would equate to drinking 270 16.9 ounce bottles of water to exceed your recommended daily salt intake per FDA guidelines. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends only drinking water that contains 20 mg of sodium per liter or less.

Why does blowing oxygen into alkaline water cause it to turn acidic? Is this a valid test to claim one alkaline water is better than another?

When we blow bubbles into straw in water we are adding carbon dioxide into it which reacts with the water forming carbonic acid , so the pH the water decreases slightly.

When you blow air into Essentia alkaline water it takes about 30 seconds of blowing air into it to turn it acidic (see video below). When you blow air into Kangen 9.5 pH water for the same amount of time the color of it still stays purple, and it appears the pH has not changed. I can guarantee you though that the pH has dropped slightly perhaps from 9.5 pH to around 8.5 pH. The only way to verify the pH is to use a calibrated hydrogen meter.

It is also important to note none of the additional inorganic salts or minerals in Essentia alkaline water cause it to turn acidic when you blow air bubbles into it. It is purely as a result of carbon dioxide reacting with the water to form carbonic acid that causes the water to turn acidic. Watch the quick video below to see what blowing air bubbles into Kangen alkaline water vs Essentia alkaline water looks like. Take note of how quick the Essentia alkaline water turns acidic. The first question I ask myself is why does it turn acidic before the Kangen Water, and has the pH of the Kangen Water been altered in anyway? Chemistry would say yes!

I decided to run my own test but this time using Kangen 8.5 pH water instead of Kangen 9.5 pH water. See the results below for yourself. Conclusion is that ALL alkaline water in bottles or from water ionizers will have a decrease in pH because of carbonic acid. You cannot claim this test of blowing bubbles into alkaline water as a basis to say one alkaline water is stronger or better for your health than another. If you blew longer into the Kangen 9.5 pH water it would eventually turn acidic but how long that would take is the question, and maybe a test you can do for yourself. At the end of the day this test is for pure marketing and not science. We should be focused on the benefits of alkaline water within the body, and not on our competitors. Be blessed and thrive.

What is the difference between John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized water?

< Back To All Blogs

What is John Ellis Water?

Traditional tap and purified water has a hydrogen bond angle of 104 - 104.5 degrees. John Ellis water takes standard tap or purified water and changes the hydrogen bond angle of it from 104 degrees to 113 - 114 degrees. Changing the bond angle is done using multi-pass distillation by rapidly heating and cooling the water inside the boiling chamber (3x per minute or hundreds of times per gallon made). Single pass distillation creates dead water with a bond angle of 101 degrees, and you should not drink store bought distilled water. When the pure energized distilled John Ellis water cools, the bond angle will remain at 113.8 - 114 degrees. In other words, the expansion of the hydrogen bond angle is permanent in the living water produced by the John Ellis Living Water Electron 5 Machine (LWM-5) Water Machine.

Water consumed with a bond angle above 108° degrees eliminates the effect of potential pathogens in our food supply (e.g. bacterium, viruses, or other microorganisms that can cause disease) from affecting our bodies because more oxygen from the water mixes with the superior blood flow to all the extremities of our body. The larger bond angle enables our bodies to use more of the oxygen present in the water in the cells of our bloodstream and destroy foreign pathogens, viruses, bacterium, and microorganisms. The wider hydrogen bond angle in John Ellis water has also been found to contribute to greater amounts of energy to the cells, increase blood flow, decrease swelling in the body, and it has anti-radiation (theoretically cancer-prevention) properties.

There are 13 patents registered with the US Patent Office that John Ellis owns on his Living Water Machine steel distillers worldwide. They have shown that less than 20 - 30 drops of cold water every 20 seconds into boiling water takes only SECONDS to open the hydrogen bond angle from 104 degrees to 114 degrees permanently, and this is the groundbreaking science behind how the John Ellis Living Water Electron 5 Machine (LWM-5) Water Machine works. See the video below to learn what the hydrogen bond angle of water is?

Dr. Guy Abraham, MD at UCLA Medical School did many independent studies with the Living Water Electron 5 (LWM-5) machines. He used five of them to make water and give to people. He took hundreds of blood tests from different people consuming the energized distilled living water from the living water machine at UCLA. He said in a letter to John Ellis “you can’t argue with something you can measure. The results speak for themselves. We can measure the ability of blood (e.g. which is 94% water) to go through a membrane and into the cells. Nothing is even close to your living water. Your hydrogen bond angle is 10 degrees greater than ordinary water. No wonder we’re getting these results. You changed the properties of water!”

The excerpt above is from “THE FARADAY TWINS” by an author with 16 million followers.

What is Alkaline Ionized Water?

Water Ionizers change the potential hydrogen (pH) of the water.  Water that is hydrogen rich has a high concentration of Molecular Hydrogen (H2).  Molecular Hydrogen acts as an efficient antioxidant that diffuses rapidly across cell membranes and can reduce free radicals, stopping oxidative stress.  Oxidation is the loss of electrons and anti-oxidation is the gain of electrons in water.  Oxidation reactions produce free radicals in the body, and antioxidants stop these reactions.  High levels of oxidants and insufficient antioxidants in the body is what causes oxidative stress.  Therefore, we should consume a diet that is high in antioxidants and care about the quality and quantity of the water we drink to reduce damage caused by oxidative stress.

Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) is measured with a millivolt meter, and it measures the ability of water to act as an antioxidant.  ORP water which measures in the lower negative ranges (-400, -600) test strong for antioxidants and is preferred for oral consumption. This kind of water removes corrosiveness and free radicals in your body that cause daily damage and premature aging.  It keeps you well hydrated, may help with weight loss, acts like an anti-inflammatory, and is great for anti-aging and wrinkles because your body is well hydrated.  In general, high ORP water is better for the outside of the body (e.g. cleaning and sanitizing).  Water with a low ORP measurement can only be achieved with a high-quality water ionizer.

Alkaline ionized water contains hydroxide ions (OH-) and positive ions (such as calcium ions) produced by electrolysis.  The water produced by an Alkaline Water Ionizer is alkaline, micro-clustered, hydrogen-infused, antioxidant rich water that is good for the body and good for your health. Drinking this water daily will provide your body with more antioxidants than you can consume through healthy food daily and promote cellular regeneration and reduce acidity in your body tissues. Drinking this water daily will also help carry nutrients to cells, help with digestion, flush out toxins, help prevent headache and fatigue, and can even aid in weight loss or maintence. You also get the best daily hydration because the water is micro clustered and structured for easy absorption into your cells.

What are the Similarities Between John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized Water?

Both waters are micro-clustered structured water that have a reduced surface tension so cells can easily absorb the water faster. Both waters provide excellent hydration. Both John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized water are living waters created using different processes.

What are the Differences Between John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized Water?

• John Ellis water is energized distilled water with a neutral potential hydrogen (pH) of 7. John Ellis water is neither alkaline or acidic. Alkaline Ionized water produces alkaline water (without the use of chemicals) which has a pH of 8.5 - 9.5, and Alkaline Ionized Water Machines use electrolysis to separate mineralized water into two water streams - alkaline and acidic water streams. Alkaline is for use in the body, and acidic is for use outside the body.

• Alkaline Ionized water contains infused and free-floating molecular hydrogen, and John Ellis water does not. Molecular hydrogen reduces inflammation in the body enabling your body to heal itself naturally.

• John Ellis Water has a bond angle of 114 degrees, and Alkaline Ionized water has a hydrogen bond angle of 104 degrees or the same as purified drinking water.

• John Ellis living water is created using multi-pass distillation and has minerals removed from the water, and Alkaline Ionized living water is alkaline hydrogen rich water created through a process called electrolysis.

Why Should I Mix John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized Water?

When you fill a glass with half John Ellis pure energized distilled water (7 pH) and half Alkaline Ionized water (9.5 pH) a few incredible things happen. You are creating a mixture that has all the benefits of John Ellis water and all the benefits of Alkaline Ionized water in a single glass. The 9.5 pH alkaline ionized water raises the pH of the John Ellis 7.0 pH water. This new glass of water will be a light alkaline living water with a pH of 8.0 - 8.5. This pH range is much easier on digestion and will help your body’s tissues become more alkaline slowly. As this happens you will also reduce acidity in the body.

By mixing John Ellis and Alkaline Ionized water together you create a living water that is structured, infused with molecular hydrogen, antioxidant-rich, micro clustered with a reduced surface tension (e.g. with a lower surface tension cells become fully hydrated) and has a 114-degree bond angle.

Drinking this mixed water daily will reduce inflammation (e.g. pain) in the body, provide your body with the antioxidants it needs in order to remove free radicals, promote cellular regeneration, hydrate you better than tap water or any store bought water, and allow your body to use more oxygen from the water in your cells so you are less susceptible to bacterium, viruses, pathogens, and other microorganisms that can cause disease.

How much molecular hydrogen can the Kangen SD501 Platinum produce off reverse osmosis water with remineralization?

12/13/2021

I have been experimenting with different ways of running reverse osmosis (RO) water that has a calcium sulfite remineralization filter on the RO water line out of the tankless Nobana Reverse Osmosis System into a Kangen SD501 Platinum Water Machine. The goal at the end of the day to understand what minerals are necessary for effective electrolysis, and how to get the most molecular hydrogen possible out of a water ionizer. Some questions to ask when experimenting are the following:

1. Do you know what is in your city water? Do you need all the minerals in the tap water for effective electrolysis. Do you know how to remove unnecessary minerals from your tap water? Is there anything toxic in your city water? Do you know what minerals are corrosive and what minerals aren’t?

2. If you remove any of tap water minerals, will you affect the ability to produce molecular hydrogen and alkalinity as the water ionizer was intended?

3. Do you have to re-mineralize reverse osmosis water in order to produce high levels of molecular hydrogen? If you don’t re-mineralize RO water does that affect potential hydrogen (pH) levels? If yes, is the water still safe to consume?

4. Can you get more molecular hydrogen by running the machine slower or faster? How do you measure for molecular hydrogen.

It is a fact that all home water ionizers need minerals in order to run effectively. A lot of people with water ionizers do not know what minerals are important for effective electrolysis or ways to produce more molecular hydrogen than a water ionizer was originally intended. You can only figure this out if you have a home set up that allows you to experiment with different ways of producing very high-quality clean water with different flow rates and filters that give enough contact time to the water to actually remove 99.99% of particulates. Then you also need very accurate meters down to at least two decimal points to measure each stage of the water production process as your tweak for experimentation and new ideas.

Here is a video below of me experimenting with different ways to bottle molecular hydrogen, and also testing what the new molecular hydrogen levels in the Kangen water are since installing my calcium sulfate remineralization filter on the RO water line coming off my tankless RO system. Enjoy and more videos to come soon!
