Disinfection Water Ionizers

Water Ionizers purify and disinfect water by releasing into the water electrically charged atoms of biocompatible minerals such as silver, copper, gold, zinc and magnesium which act as catalysts to inactivate the subtle biochemistry of bacteria and viruses. Consequently precious metal ionizers are now replacing chlorine in drinking water, aquariums, fish farms, swimming pools and hot tubs. In contrast to oxidizers like chlorine, bromine, ozone, which are known carcinogenic agents and cause lung damage when inhaled, the precious metal atoms, ions and nanoparticles act as catalysts and do not lose their electrical charge (Zeta Potential) which has a residual potency lasting for many months. 
 
Main Features of our Water Ionizers (Pictures are below):
 
Design
Our electronic ionizers and electronic softeners are designed by Canadian biomedical engineers and made in Ontario, Canada.
 
Consistency
Because water supply, quality, pH and TDS can vary widely from state to state, we have built in feedback control on the important control parameters like electrical current. When the user selects a specific level, that level is maintained regardless of variations in water purity, conductivity or dissolved salts. This means that the correct level is maintained no matter what changes may occur in water quality, pressure or flow rate.
 
Durability
Our ionizers have a self-cleaning alternating polarity cycling feature which cleans the cathode electrode on each cycle (also called double action reverse cleaning system). The electric field within the compartment is inverted to ensure that any minerals that have become actively attached to a plate are repulsed and expelled from the unit. This feature removes any scale from the electronic cell helping to make sure the ionizer stays in top working condition and system helps to prolong the life of the ionizer. In areas of very hard water, we recommend installing our electronic softener descaler.
 
Health Maintenance 
Distilled or Reverse Osmosis Water has been stripped of its natural minerals and is unhealthy to drink in large quantities. Not only is it no longer a source of minerals but it also it leaches out these precious minerals from our bodies. Such waters should be remineralized by adding essential ions like zinc, magnesium, silica, calcium. We can provide zinc and magnesium electrodes to match our ionizers.
 
Performance
Our ionizers are powered by short-circuit proofed, switching, internationally approved power supplies having electrical isolation from the power line of over 2500 volts. Lightning protection prevents electrical surges from damaging the internal circuits.
 
Ease of Use
The front panel control knob allows the user to program any desired level of electrical current going through the electrodes into the water. Higher current will produce more ions and higher concentration (parts per million) but with the loss of some nanocrystalline quality, whereas lower current will give the best quality with lower ppm. Optimum performance is ensured by always changing the electrodes when they have diminished to unusable levels.
 
Ease of Installation
Our ionizers have plumbing connections with 2 inch (5 cm) threaded terminations portals. This permits removing the ionizer chamber simply by unscrewing a threaded plastic PVC insert which connects with the local plumbing and pumps. It can later be installed in another location. Instructions to non-plumbers for leakproof PVC cutting, cementing and threading are on our site.
 
Ease of Maintenance
There are no moving parts or hazardous chemicals to store, replace or buy. The copper and silver electrodes are intended to burn down and will last for many months depending on use.   They are mounted on quick-connect plumbing adapters and are easily removed and replaced in a few seconds.
 
Application Notes
Our ionizers have been used in a wide variety of situations for purposes of purifying drinking water and beverages, preventing legionella in hospitals, protecting swimming pool, spa, fountain, lake water and disinfecting sewage water.
 
Technology
The electronic control circuit inside the ionizer is proprietary to our company and represents unique state-of-the–art  electrochemical design for use with humans or animals such as horses, poultry, cattle, fish, birds.  An indicator light or digital meter on the front panel of the ionizer directly represents the current going through the electrodes into the water and helps keeps your ionizer in top working condition.
 
Ordering
Because of the technical nature of our products, it is wiser to call or mail us to discuss your proposed purchase with our scientists who are available on hotline every day from 10 am to 10 pm New York Time.
 
Warranty
Fortunately we have a low return rate on existing models and can offer in confidence a three year warranty on our ionizers.
 
Caution re Staining

The presence of oxidizing substances such as chlorine, ozone, Bacquacil oxidant, peroxides in some hair coloring or unprotected uncured surfaces without polyurethane coating such as Marbelite, cements and grouting will combine with metals such as silver, copper, iron, zinc, magnesium to form dark stains and inactivate some of the metal. Please govern your installation accordingly.

The advantages of Ionization purifiers include the ability of the user to electrically control and balance the amount of ions going into the water, no filters or chemicals to add, ease of installation and portability, small amount of electricity (less than a 60 watt lamp).  Our quick disconnect adapters allow removal, cleaning and replacement of the electrodes in a matter of seconds.  Two or more channels can be added for extra volume of copper or silver or for simultaneous replacement of the essential minerals Zinc and Magnesium

Two Channel Ionizer
(Dreamcatcher Model)  

Two Channel Electrodes
with UV in 2 inch charging chambers

The above two channel ionizer (Dreamcatcher Model) was built for a native community water purification plant for safe drinking water to provide silver, copper and UV, with total separate control over each metal, rather than using an alloy with fixed ratio of copper to silver. Each channel is capable of up to 6 amps output simultaneously, a total of 12 amps, the highest in the ionizer industry.

Our ionization units vary in price, depending on the volume, from $950 for a domestic system to $100,000 or more for a municipality.

This section of the website provides ample background information on water ionizers, sample application for them, their benefits, safety and maintenance.
