Andre H.: My activated acidic water doesn't actually become acidic when I set my water ionizer to acidic. But when I remove the acidic water from the wastewater hose during alkaline water production, it is at least a little acidic. Why is that?
- Unfortunately, this manufacturer didn't listen to me and, in order not to waste water, designed the water division so that the ratio of alkaline water and acidic water is approximately 2:1 and not 1:1. So only 1/3 of the total water comes from the drainage. If you now set your ionizer so that the acidic water comes out of the drain (i.e. tapped for alkaline active water in normal bottling operation), the acidic water is more ionized when you direct the acidic drain upwards, where the flow is higher. Because the lower the flow, the stronger the ionization.
- I represent the 50:50 philosophy, where the same ionization performance is achieved everywhere. Because with a device that uses so little water, we don't really need to save water. Because we use 4 – 9 liters of water with a single toilet flush, more than what flows through a water ionizer every day in many households. Due to the narrowing at the outlet of the electrolysis cell, what comes out of the acid water drain hose will always be more concentrated and stronger, depending on the setting. So if you select acidic water using the keyboard preselection at the top, stronger alkaline activated water comes out at the bottom than in normal operation.
- This tempts some people to tap the alkaline drinking water from the wastewater hose in acidic mode. Especially if the alkaline active water that comes out of the top is not strong enough for you. However, this is extremely risky from a hygienic point of view because the wastewater hose usually hangs in the bacterial breeding ground of the sink.
- That's why I developed an accessory with Yasin Akgün and Joseph Paul that allows the drain to be regulated 50:50. This means you can always draw your water from the stainless steel hose provided for filling and you don't have to do any tricks.
- By the way: It is normal that the sour water in most German regions does not really become sour. We usually have a lot of carbon dioxide and fewer acidic ions in the water. If you mix salt into the water, it's different!
