What exactly is electrolyzed water?
A. Electrolyzed water is the result of a process known as electrolyzation. Although it seems remarkable, it is fairly simple chemistry. Tap water is passed into two chambers, one with a positive electrical charge, the other with a negative charge. The total charge is between 5 and 10 volts. Saline ions are then introduced into both chambers. In the positively charged chamber, chloride ions are attracted to the positive charge and are converted to HOCL or hypochlorous acid at a Ph of about 2.5. In the negatively charged chamber, sodium ions are attracted to the negative charge and are converted into sodium hydroxide at a Ph of 11.5. The hypochlorous acid is a powerful sanitizer; the sodium hydroxide is a grease cutter and mild detergent.
