Hans-Jürgen W.: What is the difference between Anolyt and acidic activated water?
Unfortunately, binding definitions in this area are still a thing of the future, as German, Soviet, Japanese and Korean research does not use uniform terminology. Anolyt is similar to acidic activated water in its electrical properties. Some also speak of superoxidizing water.
The term anolyte is mainly used in the Russian-speaking world for acidic activated water, which is obtained by electrolysis from an aqueous solution mixed with table salt (NaCl) and has an ORP of up to +1150 mV (CSE). The second electrolysis product is formed from this salt solution —> Catholyte with an extremely low ORP of up to -850 mV (CSE).
Anolyte is strongly oxidizing. Catholyte strongly reducing. Some also speak of super alkaline water. It is unclear at what pH value one should use Anolyt. The disinfecting properties, which are most important in terms of usability, are present when the pH value is 2,5 and lower. What is crucial, however, is the strong oxidative property that arises from the hypochlorous acid and its degradation products formed from common salt in the anolyte.
It is sometimes claimed that Anolyt can distinguish between good and bad microbes based on their polarity. This is pure esotericism.
Through clever backmixing technology, highly oxidative and disinfectant water with a high ORP can be produced, which has a drinkable pH value of approximately pH 6 to 7. This active water is then referred to as having an oxidative character “Anolyte neutral”.
Anolyte and Anolyte become neutral using either –> Top ionizers or industrial devices that have a permanent supply from a tank with saline solution. With certain continuous water ionizers from the Enagic® and Bionlite® brands, saline solution or salt can be added to the water so that anolyte and catholyte can also be produced.
The acidic water that comes from standard household water ionizers without salt has at most a slightly germ-inhibiting effect, but not a germicidal effect.
Just like our skin, with a pH value in the range of pH 5 - 6, inhibits bacteria from multiplying, but does not kill them. The purpose of these devices is to improve drinking water and not to produce disinfectants.
Please also note the general information on the definition of terms under the keyword –> Catholyte
