2. INFORMATION ABOUT ANTIOXIDANT WATER - CATHOLYTE
Theoretical concepts
Electrochemically activated catholyte is antioxidant water with pronounced electron-donor
properties. Catholyte is obtained from fresh water, in which powerful unipolar action (in the double
electric layer at the cathode of the electrochemical module) causes formation and storing of metastable
products of cathode electrochemical reactions, in particular, molecular ions НО2¯, О2¯, ОН¯.
Electrochemically activated catholyte exhibits an electron-donor ability, i.e., it is a strong
reducing agent and reduction catalyst in various physicochemical reactions, including biochemical
ones. Catholyte provides for effective neutralization of toxic forms of active oxygen, including free
radicals, and restoration of the optimal balance of oxidative and reduction reactions (REDOX-status)
of the body in the intercellular fluid and in cells, which is directly related to the correct course of all
fundamental life processes of the body.
Practical application of catholyte
Electrochemically activated catholyte is one of the best antioxidants. Antioxidants found in
foods, vitamins or dietary supplements do not give a person proper protection. Due to their large size,
their molecules are not able to penetrate into cells and neutralize toxic oxidants (including free
radicals).
Antioxidant water from EMERALD HOME 60 OFFICE Device has a beneficial effect on the
entire body, normalizing metabolism and the functioning of internal organs, cleansing toxins, and also
strengthening the immune system, improving memory and toning up the body.
Antioxidant water has a positive effect on the body when consumed as part of a regular diet and
protects against the action of strong toxic oxidants. The mechanism of action of antioxidant water is
based on the transfer of protective electron-donor properties to the body's internal environments,
helping the body's internal antioxidant system to cope with excessive exposure to various oxidative
factors of technogenic origin (polluted air, poor quality of drinking water and food, stress and
overwork, alcohol and cigarettes). Catholyte stimulates tissue respiration, which enhances the action
of vitamins and chemical antioxidants in the body. Antioxidant water also weakens the effect of
ionizing radiation, i.e. exhibits radioprotective properties characteristic of antioxidants. Antioxidant
water improves passive immunity and general condition of the body, improves the functioning of the
gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract, and normalizes blood counts.
Water treated in EMERALD HOME 60 OFFICE Devices, like any natural antioxidant water,
retains its electron-donor properties for no more than a day from the date of obtaining. After this
period, the redox potential (ORP) of the treated water returns to the original ORP values of non-
activated water, on average, in the range (+100) ÷ (+250) mV, SCE. When boiling, the electron-donor
properties of antioxidant water also decrease. Antioxidant water produced in the EMERALD Device
should be stored for no more than a day in glass containers with a closed lid, away from direct sunlight
and heat sources.

SOME APPLICATIONS OF CATHOLYTE
Consuming as part of a normal diet - The human body is more than 70% water. Water plays
the most important role in the life of the human body. An adult needs to consume about 2 or 3 liters
of water per day to maintain the normal functioning of the body.
Cooking - food on antioxidant water is cooked faster and retains more beneficial properties.
Antioxidant water is great for soaking fruit, vegetables, fish and meat - due to its strong extraction
properties, catholyte actively removes harmful chemicals from foods, such as growth hormones and
antibiotics.
Making drinks - in addition to drinking antioxidant water from EMERALD Device, you can
enhance the antioxidant effect due to synergistic phenomena and make antioxidant drinks using
natural antioxidants - freshly squeezed juices of carrots, apples, various berries, by adding antioxidant
water from EMERALD Device to them. Herbal teas prepared with this water acquire a special taste
and aroma. Ice cubes made of frozen antioxidant water will give the drink an extra benefit.
Air humidification - antioxidant water is useful in the form of a mist when used in humidifiers.
Humidified air with microdrops of antioxidant water, having the properties of a reducing agent,
produces a beneficial effect on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, prevents asthma attacks
and allergic diseases.
Cosmetic purposes - for cosmetic purposes, antioxidant water is useful for washing, in the form
of ice cubes for wiping the face, or in the form of a spray to moisturize the skin. Moisturizing masks
based on antioxidant water will have a special effect.
Pets, plants and seeds - pets will prefer antioxidant water to regular tap or bottled water. The
use of water from the EMERALD Device for watering houseplants or germinating seeds will promote
their accelerated growth and development.
Important!
The latest technology in the EMERALD Device allows you to get clean and healthy antioxidant
water while maintaining a neutral acid-base balance (pH level). pH neutral antioxidant water is
suitable for regular consumption as part of a normal diet. Due to the similarity with the internal
environment of a human, such water is instantly absorbed by the body and holistically restores it.
EMERALD HOME 60 OFFICE Device is not a medical device. Before using catholyte for
preventive or therapeutic purposes, consult a specialist. The information on the properties and methods
of using catholyte presented in this section is for reference only and does not apply to medical reports.

3. PRINCIPLES OF WATER TREATMENT
The EMERALD Device is high performance and runs on cold tap water, producing 40 to 60 liters
of purified antioxidant drinking water (catholyte) per hour.
EMERALD Device ensures high quality of drinking water purification due to the consistent
combination of water activation in electrochemical modules and the use of auxiliary environmentally
friendly filter elements. The main elements of the EMERALD Device are 2 (two) MB-11 type
electrochemical modules (diaphragm flow-through electrochemical Bakhir modular elements), in
which oxidation reactions take place at the anode and reduction reactions at the cathode (Fig. 1).
Auxiliary elements in the Device are a catalytic filter and an electrokinetic filter. A distinctive feature
of EMERALD Device is the absence of replaceable and wear parts.
All processes of water purification and electrical treatment in Device are as close as possible to
what happens to water in wildlife. It has become possible to repeat the natural processes of water
purification and treatment due to the creation of reliable electrochemical modules, which are the main
elements of the system. The modules consist of two flow-through chambers: anode and cathode. It is
in these chambers that, under the influence of a positive current on the anode and a negative current
on the cathode, the water treatment processes suggested by nature are reproduced.
In the anode chamber of the module oxidative reactions take place, during which microbes and
microbial toxins are destroyed. In nature, a similar process of antimicrobial protection, phagocytosis,
has been occurring in all living organisms for millions of years without any failures. Also, in the anode
chamber, harmful organic compounds (including hormones and antibiotics), iron, manganese and
hydrogen sulfide are oxidized.
In the cathode chamber, reduction reactions take place during which water again acquires useful
antioxidant properties due to enrichment with hydrogen. In nature, similar processes occur during the
contact of spring water with rocks, as well as during phase transitions in the process of melting
glaciers. Also, cathode water treatment can effectively remove heavy metals.
Auxiliary catalytic filter, consisting of natural activated carbon, serves for final water purification
from oxidized organic and organochlorine compounds (including herbicides, pesticides, surfactants,
phenols, antibiotics, antidepressants, hormones).
Auxiliary electrokinetic filter, consisting of foamed polypropylene, is used for fine mechanical
cleaning of impurities, heavy metal hydroxides, oxidized forms of iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide.

Useful information!
All water purification and activation processes in EMERALD Devices are as close as possible to
what happens to water in living Nature, since the mechanism of fresh water purification in Nature is
represented by two main processes: redox reactions and filtration.
Therefore, in EMERALD Devices the combination of electrochemical anode and cathode water
treatment with environmentally-friendly filter elements requiring no replacement provides deep water
purification from microbes, microbial toxins, biofilms, heavy metals, iron, manganese, hydrogen
sulfide and harmful organic compounds.
The safety of water treatment using ECA technology is ensured by the complete absence of any
chemicals in EMERALD Devices. MB-11 type electrochemical modules in which electrical treatment
of water takes place, exchange only electrons with water, taking them from the water in the anode
chamber, where oxidative reactions take place and the water is enriched with oxygen, and introducing
the electrons into the water in the cathode chamber, where reduction reactions take place and the water
gets enriched with hydrogen.
This allows the catalytic and electrokinetic filters to work in «clean condition». In the hydraulic
scheme of the EMERALD Device, they are located after the anode destruction of microbes, microbial
toxins and biofilms, which significantly increases their efficiency and service life. Therefore, the filter
elements in the EMERALD Device are protected from microbial growth, fouling with harmful
biofilms and water pollution by microbial toxins!
It is important to note that MB-11 electrochemical modules in the Device MB-11 have a long
service life (more than 2 million liters of treated water) and do not require periodic replacement under
the operating conditions described in this Operating Manual.

Connecting the t-bend with a ball valve to the water supply line
The connection is made in accordance with the diagram in Fig. 9:
u Shut off the cold water supply to the sink, and then open
the cold water shutoff valve on the kitchen faucet to
relieve pressure in the pipe;
u When using the flexible connection, unscrew the union nut
of the flexible cold water connection (7), through which
water is supplied to the faucet. Insert a t-bend with a ball
valve (1) into the gap between the cold water line (3) and
the flexible hose. If there are no sealing rings (2) at the
threaded connections, seal the connections (for example,
using Tangit uni-lock ® plumbing thread);
u Insert the union nut from the t-bend nipple (4) through the
1/4" tube (5);
Important! When connecting these elements, do not
overtighten the connections! This can lead to a damage of the
t-bend or valve, including a hidden one (with long-term
consequences). The amount of plumbing sealing material
used must not be excessive! In the event of any mechanical
damage to the connection node due to improper installation
and use, warranty claims may be rejected.
Water is supplied to the Device
through the t-bend by the valve (Fig. 10).
1) The vertical position of the valve - no
water supply;
2) The horizontal position of the valve -
water is supplied to the Device.
Important! To avoid water hammer
on the hydraulic components of the Device,
the valve on the t-bend must always be
opened smoothly for the water to enter the
Device gradually.

Connecting the water pre-treatment system
In case of non-compliance of the source water
with the requirements of SanPiN 2.1.4.1074-01, it is
possible to connect a pre-treatment system before
the Device (purchased separately, see Table 6). To
do this, connect a Slim Line 10" main flask (Fig.
11), before the Device, to the break in the cold water
supply pipe, into which, depending on the source
water contamination type, various replaceable
filters are installed (mechanical polypropylene, ion-
exchange or iron removal filter).
Connecting diagram (Fig. 11):
u The flask is attached to the wall using a fixing
plate (6) and screws;
u The desired cartridge is installed in the
unscrewed part of the flask body (3), after which
the upper and lower parts of the flask are tightly
twisted together along the thread;
u The corresponding threaded parts of the
connecting fittings (4.5) are screwed into the
threaded fittings of the flask (1.2). Threaded
connections are sealed;
u The cold water inlet tube (4.5, Fig. 8) is cut into
two parts;
u According to the water flow arrow on the flask
body, the first part of the tube coming from the
t-bend (4, Fig. 8) is inserted into the flask water
inlet fitting (4);
u The second part of the tube is inserted into the
water outlet fitting from the flask (5) and connected to the INLET fitting on the Device body (5,
Fig. 8);
u Blue locking clips are set in all quick-release connections.
