Video: Adjusting the flow through pH value measurements
That's why I would like to email you some questions about my device (EOS Genesis) place:
– You had written: “It is important that you do not leave any air pockets in the bottle, otherwise the oxidation of this very activated water will occur more quickly.” - what does that mean?
– I now take level 4 water with me when I’m on the go. Since it is recommended to drink 9,0 or 9,5, is level 4 water (ph 11,0) safe to drink every day?
– I saw in a video on your site that you can adjust the individual levels to the actual value. If you do this, will the device produce more ph per level if the value was too low, for example?
– Does the strength of the device decrease over time in terms of pH and redox production?
– Is there such a thing as inspections?
Thank you for your answers, kind regards, Beate H.

Dear Ms. H., Thank you for your email.
Because of the fine settings of the respective electrolysis stages in the EOS water ionizers. These settings are not necessary because we have already had them adjusted at the factory to best suit our conditions. The strongest basic level is therefore set as strong as possible.
However, the flow setting is important:
As a general rule, I can say that if your water is hard, you can reduce the flow to around 1 liter/minute or even 0,8 liters/minute. If you have softer water, increase the flow accordingly to 1,6 liters/minute. The EOS water ionizers show the water flow actually flowing out of the alkaline water outlet on the display.
It is ideal if you adjust the flow so that on the penultimate level 3 the water is tested with the indicator purple, and level 2, the level before, is still blue. Then you know that the strongest level, the last level could be alkaline towards pH 10,5 to pH 11, more like pH 10,5.
We'll never know for sure. It's not that important, because the water quickly falls from this particularly active state back into a less active state, so it never maintains a stable value.
At pH 10,5 you can expect around -500mV redox potential, depending on the water. And that is more than enough.
If the water is not drunk straight away, the dissolved hydrogen will now be released into the surrounding air. As a general rule, we can say that the hydrogen content decreases by about half every 3 hours. With the hydrogen we also lose the electrical potential, the redox potential, which also drops by half about every three hours. Depending on the water and its mineral content, this can of course vary. But you can also make a general statement that the more calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium there are in the water, the more you get from electrolysis.
However, the lime also becomes a problem over time because it tends to precipitate when the hydrogen leaves the water. It can fail completely, meaning you will then have very soft water and limescale in the container. The stronger you ionize, the more hard the tap water is, the slower the flow, the more these effects occur.
More about the correct filling of alkaline water and stability in this article: www.aquacentrum.de/faqs/haltbarkeit-aktivwasser/
The values may decrease a little over time, after 5 years or more, but normally it is not an issue to use the EOS devices fully functionally for 10 years. We can also completely replace the water cell, i.e. the electrolysis chamber, and thus renew the “motor”.
The only inspection is by you, by testing the pH values every few months with the indicator provided. And maintain the device every 6-12 months with the included descaling pump and citric acid descale.
Otherwise we can inspect the system, but this is more likely to be necessary if a defect should arise.
So I hope I was able to help you further. Just keep testing. You will feel the differences firsthand
All the best to Munich too, Yours, Yasin Akgün
