Amazing ACID Water!

Most people, including me for many years, only think of alkaline water when they think of the benefits of owning an ionizer. Not any more.

Since a, quite frankly, mindblowing presentation from Chanson at my Z-Factor Health Weekend in May (2009!) I am now a fully converted acid-water-user. In fact, I use almost as much acid water now than I do alkaline!

Why?

Because acid water just has so many practical uses! Sure, you can’t drink it, but there isn’t a lot else you can’t do with it!

What is Acid Water

Acid water can be characterised by the following:

1) having a pH of between pH 2 and pH 4
2) having an ORP of +800 to +1200 (see here for more info)
3) having a hypochlorous acid component from 1-30 mg/l
4) being microclustered
5) being heavy in H+, which acts as an oxidizer

The Two Types of Acid Water

There are two types of acid water – mild and strong. ‘Mild’ is used on the skin, hair and nails and ‘Strong’ is used for cleaning and sterilizing.

Sound good? OK, so here it is:

And many, many, more…

The best part of all is the safety factor. This water is safe. Even the Hypochlorous acid is EPA approved for food and human contact as well as an FDA approved food grade sanitizer. You can even drink it although we DON’T recommend it. Chanson Ionized Acid Water can reduce the carbon footprint of the home dramatically by reducing the amount of chemicals and cleaners needed.

In bottled form, we have seen Acid Water retain its strength for up to 90 days. However, you can count on the full strength of the acid water for at least 30 days. We suggest two different bottle types at home for designated uses.

1. SKIN CARE BOTTLE (for mild acid water: 4-5)
Amber or Cobalt colored 2oz or 4oz glass bottles with spritzer heads

2. HOUSEHOLD CLEANER BOTTLE (for strong acid water: 2.7-3.5)
HDPE plastic spray bottles 24oz with trigger sprayer.

These are milky white cleaning bottles designated for cleaning and disinfecting.

And while all of these wonderful uses for Acid Water exist, you may want to know that most ionizer brands can not make strong acid water! However, the Chanson Miracle has been 3rd party lab tested and verified to be able to make strong acid water that can disinfect on contact in 70% of all water sources. We tested it on both ecoli and staph germs with outstanding results!

How to Use Acid Water

To use the acid water you simply have to set your ionizer to produce the pH you are after and then store the water in a spray bottle for when you want to use it!

I recommend using a dark glass bottle for the skin spray and a HDPE plastic bottle for cleaning and disinfecting around the house.

The Big Extra Benefit

The best part about using acid water for your skin and as a cleaner around the house is that you are now not using any chemicals around the home! Either on your skin or your surfaces.

This is not only fantastic for your health (read this shocking report here) but it is also fantastic for the environment.  In terms of cleaning:

Comparison with Other Disinfectants

Ionized acidic water stands out from traditional disinfectants for several reasons:

1. Non-Toxic: Unlike many chemical disinfectants, acidic ionized water is non-toxic and safe for humans, animals, and plants. It doesn’t leave harmful residues.
2. Environmentally Friendly: It reduces the need for chemical cleaners, which can pollute waterways and harm ecosystems. Using ionized water helps in reducing the environmental footprint.
3. Cost-Effective: Over time, using ionized water can be more economical. Once you have a water ionizer, the ongoing cost is primarily electricity, which is minimal compared to purchasing chemical cleaners.
4. Versatility: Acidic ionized water can be used for a wide range of applications, from personal care to household cleaning, unlike many disinfectants that are limited to specific uses.

Cost Savings

Switching to ionized acidic water for your everyday tasks can also save you a ton of money each month.

Think about it – traditional cleaning products like all-purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, and disinfectant spray can set you back around $10.50 a month. With your trusty ionizer, you can ditch those expenses entirely.

The same goes for laundry – instead of shelling out $3.50 a month on fabric softeners and stain removers, just use acidic water.

For skincare, so many of my customers use acid water for both makeup removal, anti-wrinkle spray, moisturiser and toner.

Those commercial anti-wrinkle sprays, moisturizers, toners, and makeup removers? They cost about $25, $15, $30, and $8 a month, respectively, and contain a ton of chemicals.

All in all, you’re looking at saving around $92 each month, which adds up to about $1,104 a year. So, not only does your water ionizer pay for itself pretty quickly, but it also helps you live a cleaner, greener life. How awesome is that?

Until then, stay healthy and energized!
