A water ionizer is utilized to convert common tap water into alkaline ionized water. Alkaline/Ionized water is intended to be helpful to individual health and is frequently marketed with claims that the anti-oxidant found in this water can prevent disease and slows down the aging process. Although others declare such claims to be contradictory to the very basic laws of chemistry and physiology. A tyent water ionizer basically works on the process of electrolysis which divides water into alkaline and acid parts. It makes use of the electric charge produced by the calcium and magnesium ions that are found in almost all sources of drinking water. Water ionization does not have an affect on a source of water that lacks mineral ions including distilled water or the water which has been treated through reverse osmosis.
