Enagic mechanism utilizes a combination of advanced filtration and electrolysis technology to purify and transform regular tap water into alkaline water. Here is a detailed explanation of the mechanism:
Initial Filtration
Sediment Filter : The water first passes through a sediment filter, which removes larger particles such as dirt, sand, rust, and other debris. This step helps to prevent clogging and prolongs the lifespan of the subsequent filters.
Activated Carbon Filter : The next stage involves an activated carbon filter that adsorbs chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemical impurities. This significantly improves the taste and odor of the water by removing these contaminants.
Electrolysis Chamber
Platinum-Coated Titanium Electrodes : The filtered water enters the electrolysis chamber, which contains platinum-coated titanium electrodes. These electrodes are essential for the ionization process.
Ionization Process : An electric current is passed through the water in the electrolysis chamber, causing the water molecules (H₂O) to split into hydrogen ions (H⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻). This process creates two streams of water: alkaline (or ionized) water and acidic water.
Separation into Alkaline and Acidic Water
Alkaline Water : The alkaline water (with a higher pH) is typically used for drinking and cooking. It is rich in hydroxide ions (OH⁻) and often contains ionized minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
Acidic Water : The acidic water (with a lower pH) is separated and can be used for cleaning, disinfecting, and other external uses. Acidic water contains more hydrogen ions (H⁺) and has properties that make it useful for these purposes.
Micro-Clustering
Water Clusters : During electrolysis, the structure of the water molecules is altered, resulting in smaller molecular clusters. These smaller clusters are believed to be more easily absorbed by the body, enhancing hydration and nutrient uptake.
Molecular Hydrogen Production
Hydrogen Gas : The electrolysis process also produces molecular hydrogen (H₂) gas, which dissolves in the water. Molecular hydrogen is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, potentially reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
Enagic water machines combine advanced filtration with electrolysis to produce high-quality alkaline water. The initial filtration stages remove contaminants, while the electrolysis process ionizes the water, producing both alkaline and acidic streams. This process not only enhances the taste and safety of the water but also imparts potential health benefits through improved hydration and antioxidant properties.
