Negative ORP: A measurement of an aqueous substance’s ability to reduce oxidation.

Positive ORP: Indicates a tendency to increase oxidation.

Water can have either a negative or positive ORP.

Aquaplus water filters are designed to produce alkaline water with a negative ORP.

Oxidation: Occurs when oxygen destroys a substance by stealing electrons.

Example: Rust is the oxidized form of metal.

Oxidants: Free radicals and acids are oxidants

Definition: : pH stands for “Potential Hydrogen” and measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

Scale:

• pH 7 is neutral.
• pH below 7 is acidic.
• pH above 7 is alkaline.

Aquaplus Alkaline Water: Has a pH of 8, which meets the threshold limit prescribed by Dubai Municipality for public distribution of bottled drinking water.

Effect of pH on the Human Body: The human body contains both acids and bases. Blood pH is maintained between 7.35 and 7.45. Urine pH varies, which is why doctors often measure it. Low urine pH has been linked to metabolic syndrome, which may include:

• Obesity
• High blood pressure
• Insulin resistance
• High cholesterol
• Kidney stones

Try this simple hydration test:

Lay your hand flat on a table. Pinch the skin about one inch behind your knuckle. The skin should spring back into place in about a second. If it takes longer, you may be dehydrated.

Two Kinds of dehydration :

Breathing: Exhaling excess acidity as carbon dioxide.

Urine: Filtering out acidic wastes via the kidneys.

Bone: Using calcium from bones to neutralize excess acid, which may compromise bone density

Hydration Efficiency: Alkaline water has lower surface tension than plain water, making it easier to absorb via cellular osmosis.

Research: A Montana State University study found that alkaline water hydrated 17% better than plain water.

Aquaporins: These cellular channels, which control water intake, allow alkaline water to pass more easily compared to acidic water. The discovery of aquaporins (Nobel Prize, 2003) underscores their importance in hydration.

Negative ORP: Indicates water’s ability to reduce oxidation.

Positive ORP: Indicates an increase in oxidation.

Aquaplus water filters produce alkaline water with a negative ORP, making it antioxidant in nature.

Good, Clean Water Biostone Filter: This standard filter effectively removes contaminants while retaining beneficial alkaline minerals. Certified metal scans before and after filtration show highly effective contaminant reduction.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems: RO systems purify water well but may strip it of beneficial properties. For larger home applications, consider an under-sink RO system with a pre-filter that adds essential alkaline minerals back to the water, specifically designed for use with Aquaplus filters.

Acidic water (obtained by electrolyzing dilute salt solutions) has several external uses:

Dermatosis Treatment: Applied or sprayed on the skin at the initial stages of dermatosis to help reduce infection.

Skin Care: Used as a natural astringent to wash the face, relieve dryness and itchiness, and remove dirt and oil without harsh chemicals.

Wound Healing: Expedites the healing of cuts, scrapes, insect bites, rashes, athlete’s foot, nail fungus, blisters, acne, eczema, and poison ivy/oak irritation.

Hair Care: Acts as an effective hair rinse, improving scalp health and leaving hair soft and naturally shiny.

Antiseptic: Serves as an antiseptic for abrasions, cuts, and as a mouthwash to help remove plaque.

Food Washing: Effectively kills bacteria on fruits, vegetables, and meats.

Plant Care: Promotes plant growth and reduces fungus, and can extend the life of cut flowers

Acidic water has a pH below 7 and is generally used externally (e.g., for hair and skin) rather than for drinking. It can also be used to sanitize surfaces such as kitchen counters and cutting boards. Key signs of acidic water include:

Note: The pH scale is logarithmic—each whole number change represents a tenfold change in alkalinity or acidity.

Alkaline water has a pH greater than 7 and has been consumed in Asia for decades to promote health. In nature, water becomes alkaline by absorbing minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. However, the alkaline water produced by Aquaplus filters is distinct because:

Superior Taste: Alkaline Aquaplus water tastes slightly sweeter and more refreshing than plain water, making it easier to consume and maintain proper hydration.

Enhanced Absorption: The smaller water clusters allow for faster and more efficient hydration. Many customers prefer the taste, which encourages them to drink more water throughout the day.

Also known as redox potential, ORP refers to water’s ability to acquire electrons and be reduced. For example, a positively charged ion can be reduced by gaining electrons from a negatively charged ion. ORP is measured in millivolts (mV). Strongly ionized water, such as that produced by Aquaplus filters, can have an ORP of –815 mV, making it a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and reduces potential cell damage.

Aquaplus water can be considered “living water” because it offers significant health benefits. With its combined alkaline and antioxidant qualities, Aquaplus water helps optimize hydration, neutralize toxins, and support overall health and well-being.
