What is EO Water?

What is EO Water? This is the most commonly asked question so it is fitting that the first post for this blog explains it in common terms.

The EO is short for Eletrolocized Oxidative and describes the process which is similar to electrolysis. EO water is often abbreviated as EOW.

EOW is produced in a generator that polarizes a dilute salt brine. This is accomplished by running an eletricical current through an anode and cathode, usually coated with platinum or other precious metal and separated by a membrane. This process changes the waters' properties dramatically.

The results of this process produces two different fluids. One is an acid water with a pH of about 2.4 and an ORP of 1180. The other is an alkaline water with a pH of approximately 11.4 and an ORP of -850. Depending on the generator manufacture the pH/ORP mixture is adjustable.

This technology is not new, however the ability to stabilize the fluids in recent years have given this technology new life.

Like so many technologies the US is not the first one to the table. Japan, the United Kingdom and others have been using EOW for some time now.
