⚡️ Simplified Breakdown of What Is Happening Inside the Machine
- Tap water enters the machine.
- It passes through a filter that removes chlorine, sediment, and some impurities.
- The filtered water flows over a series of electrically charged platinum-dipped titanium plates that act as either a positive or negative electrode, which—depending on the charge—create conditions for oxidation or reduction to occur in the water.
- This causes the water to separate:
- One stream becomes Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW) — alkaline in pH, contains naturally retained minerals, and dissolved molecular hydrogen.
- The other becomes Electrolyzed Oxidized Water (EOW) — acidic in pH, contains dissolved molecular oxygen.
👉 These waters exit through different hoses so they can be used separately.

💧 Let’s Take a Closer Look
The chamber is split into two sides by a diaphragm (membrane).
- This prevents acidic and alkaline waters from mixing while still allowing ions to pass between chambers.
- One side has a positive charge (anode), the other a negative charge (cathode).
- Electricity passes through the water (H₂O), separating it into positive (H⁺) and negative (OH⁻) ions.

🔴 Oxidation
- The OH⁻ ion is attracted to the positive electrode (anode).
- It donates an electron (oxidation), and oxygen atoms bond together, forming molecular oxygen (O₂ gas).
- Negatively charged particles (Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻, CO₃²⁻) are also drawn to the anode side and flushed out through the bottom hose.
