4. DESIGN AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
4.1. The device consists of a lower container (1), a removable vessel (3) and an enclosure (9). (See picture
1)
4.2. The lower container (1) is an electrolysis container. In the upper part of it two handles are installed. (2)
A removable semi round vessel is built in the container (3), in which parchment partition with two plate
form plastic retainers are set instead of the front wall (4). Partition is fastened in the top with a fixer (5).
On the inner side of the container and the vessel there are two marks: lower (6) indicates minimum and
upper (7) Ämaximum water level.
4.3. In the enclosure (9) an electrical scheme is installed that is covered from inside with a plastic cover. In
the cover flat electrodes (8; 19) and round contact (18;) are fixed. Flat electrodes are meant for
production of ionized water and round contact -for connection of silver electrode. On the board (12)
located on the top of the enclosure three LEDs are mounted: the middle, green (14), lights when the
plug of the device (13) is connected to the power supply socket. The external, red (11; 15) ones, light
respectively when ionized or silvered water is produced. As well on the top of the enclosure four
buttons for control of timer and working mode and time indicators are mounted (16). On the other side
of the enclosure there is a cord with a plug. (13) and switch (20).
4.4. Parchment partition is fitted between two plastic plate form retainers in such way, that arrows on the
outer sides of the plates are directed downwards. Then partitions with retainers (4) is mounted into
special notches of the removable vessel (3) and fastened with a fixer (5).
4.5. During water electrolysis acidic water is generated at the black electrode (8) and alkaline water -at the
light one (19). Partition (4) of the removable vessel (3) doesnÅt allow ionized water to mix.

4.6. When producing silvered water (modification KL), the removable vessel (3) is not necessary.
The device control scheme does not allow to switch on the modes of production of ionized and
silvered water at one time.
5. PROPERTIES OF IONIZED WATER AND ITS APPLICATION
5.1. Alkaline water (catholyte) -a soft, odorless water having taste of rainwater. ORP values are negative
(1 table) and pH fluctuates from 8,0 to 11,0 pH (the bigger this number, the more alkaline water is). It is
a natural stimulator.
5.2. Acidic water (anolyte) -water having typical acid and weak chlorine odor. ORP values are positive (1
table) and pH fluctuates from 6,0 to 2,0 (the smaller this number, the more acidic water is).It is a
natural bactericide.
5.3. Ionized water should be kept in tightly closed jars protecting it from direct sunlight. It not
recommended to keep it in refrigerator. Alkaline water preserves its properties for up to 3 days and
acidic water - for up to 7 days.
5.4. Properties of ionized water are characterized by two indexes: ORP-oxidation-reduction potential and
pH Çhydrogen index. ORP is characterized by positive or negative charges (mV) that charge ionized
water (respectively anolyte + and catholyte -). pH values can fluctuate between 0 to 14 units. Potable
water is neutral, its pH is about 7,0. pH of alkaline water fluctuates from 8,0 to 11,0 pH (the bigger this
number, the more alkaline water is) and of pH of acidic water is from 6 to 2,4 pH (the smaller this
number, the more acidic water
5.5. Table 1 presents the dependence of pH and ORP values on appliance running time. These pH and ORP
values have been obtained by analyzing water in ICP-MS Measurement Laboratory on Faculty of
Chemistry in Warsaw University. ORP values are given relatively to calomel electrode. Research report
is stored in the enterprise.
Table 1
Tap water
Alkaline water Acidic water
Time, min ORP pH ORP pH
5 -815 9,66 811 5,07
10 -886 10,08 1051 2,51
15 -896 10,17 1085 2,32
20 -905 10,22 1103 2,21
25 -911 10,33 1112 2,13
30 -914 10,39 1120 2,07
It is essential to know that a negative oxidation -reduction potential acquired by ionized alkaline water
lasts a relatively short period of time. Keeping the alkaline ionized water in a closed container from which water
is continuously used, after 24 to 36 hours the negative ORP value becomes practically zero or slightly positive.
(These water pH values -8.5 to 9.5 Älast a much longer period of time: 4-7 days). Therefore, ionized alkaline
water should be used as fresher as possible, or at least it should be used within 12 hours from its production.
Shops are available with ionized alkaline water in different containers, as indicated on the label.
However, this water, at best, can be considered alkaline, as the ORP value of the water shall not remain
negative.
6. PRODUCTION OF IONIZED WATER (MODIFICATIONS AL AND KL)
6.1. Holding the lower container (1) on its handles (2) remove the enclosure (9) of the device.
6.2. Make sure the partition with retainers of the removable vessel (4) is tightly inserted into the notches of
the vessel.
6.3. Pour cold water from tap: first of all into the removable vessel (3) then into the lower vessel (1)up to
the lower marks (6).
6.4. Put the enclosure (9) on the lower container (1) so that the dark electrode (8) would get into the
removable vessel.(3).

6.5. Connect the string type cord with the plug (13) to the socket.Turn on the switch (20). On the enclosure
(9) green indicator (14) lights up and in the indicator of timer (16) -letter PH shows. Set the working
duration of the device according to the table 1.
6.6. Pushing the control button (16) indicated by arrow Ç to set the required working time of the device. To
reduce the set time push the button (16) indicated by the arrow É.
Attention! Working time of the device, while ionizing is set in minutes.
6.7. Push the button START. Red indicator (15) lights up indicated by letter PH. The device starts working.
After the set time passes the device switches off automatically. To make a premature cancellation of the
work of the device push the button STOP.
Note. After the work of the device is finished (when the time of switching on is longer than 3 minutes) a sound
signal is given. It is switched off by pushing the button STOP.
6.8. Turn off a switch (20). Pull the plug of the cord (13) from a socket, take off the enclosure (9), pour out
from the removable vessel (3) the acidic and then alkaline water into prepared, tightly closed jars.
6.9. Just produced alkaline water is turbid and sometimes foamy. After pouring alkaline water into a jar,
sediments and foam precipitate on the bottom, water becomes clear and suitable for using (the amount
of sediments precipitated shows the level of contamination of water and they shouldnÅt be used).
6.10. Just produced acidic water has a slight acidic and chlorine odor and is sourish.
6.11. When working with the device water can heat up to 40 degrees.
6.12. Wash the removable vessel (3) and lower container (1) with water. It is PROHIBITED to wash with
water the enclosure (9) containing the electric part!
6.13. Clean the light electrode (19) and the contact with soft cloth dipped in vinegar. It is not necessary to
clean the dark electrode (8).
6.14. Dry the lower container (1), the enclosure (9) and removable vessel (3) without taking out the partition.
Assemble the device and store it in dry place.
Notes:
1. Use the device strictly to the sequence of operations.
2. For production of ionized water use tap water.
3. It is recommended to pour out (do not use) the produced ionized water after the first use in a new
appliance or after the change of the membrane.
The membrane is made from a special material suitable for electrolysis. Do not use other materials
than those specified by the manufacturer.
4. After taking the removable vessel (3) out of the container (1) the membrane may slightly leak through
the bottom of the vessel. It does not affect the production of ionized water. If the leak is more
significant -the membrane must be changed.
5. Anode electrode (the dark) is produced by using rare inert metals (ruthenium and iridium) and oxide
mixtures on the titanium base. These electrodes have good electrochemical and physical-mechanical
properties. Their longevity or life span is very high.
Anodes made from any other metal are not suitable for water ionizers as the emission of gases takes
place in an acidic medium during the electrolytic. Cl-ions contained in the solution are soluble. In this
way metal, from which the electrode is made, complex ions, from which Cr and Ni ions or their
compounds are very harmful to human health, enter the acidic water.
The dark electrode must be replaced in case of damage of the electrodeÉs covering layer.
7. PROPERTIES OF SILVERED WATER AND ITS APPLICATION
7.1. Silvered water kills microbes, bacteria. Small silver doses (0,01 mg/l) positively affect organism.
7.2. Impact of silvered water depends on concentration of silver ions: the bigger this concentration, the
stronger the impact and the more quickly it begins.
7.3. Silvered water preserves its bactericidal properties for several months.
7.4. For production of silvered water potable water is used. It is recommended to use filtered, spring water,
or tap water that has settled.
7.5. Silvered water of low concentration is entirely clear, tasteless and odorless. It has to be kept in dark
premises. When boiling silvered water silver sediments precipitate and it loses its properties.
7.6. If you regularly drink silvered water, itsÅ concentration can not exceed 0,01 mg/l (UN 48-1994.). Such
concentration is obtained when device is turned on for 2 seconds (see 2 table).
