There are 8 factors that unpredictably affect the production of colloidal mineral waters. The electrolysis process is powered by the current per square inch at the surface of the electrodes, which for the highest quality should not exceed 1 milliampere (mA) per SQINCH. Lower currents levels will unduly prolong the process but will give you a higher quality. Through our 12/7 hotline, we can support you to master this “winemaking-like” process.
Applied Voltage. Higher voltage helps during the rising phase and overcomes the resistance of pure water (Ohm’s Law) Current = Voltage/Resistance = Voltage x Conductivity. Our higher voltage generators allow for a very rapid rise of initial current up to your final desired plateau level, so as to speed up the productivity.
Current in mA. Current is what does the work of etching off atoms from the metal plates.
The conductivity of water in microsiemens (uS). Purest water will initially have very low conductivity (High resistance).
As more atoms are released, water conductivity rises, so more current can flow to release more atoms. Conductivity is an indirect indicator of PPM (1 PPM = 1.2 uS). Keep a record of microsiemens levels at first and as the process continues. Subtract the initial measurement from your current measurement to obtain the difference.
Nature and source of water. Not all distilled waters are the same. Most are Ozonated.
The volume of the container. Bigger volumes require a longer time to fully charge to your desired level of PPM.
Electrode area. Bigger areas can be safely charged at higher maximum current levels, such as up to 100 mA with 6” x 8” plates.
Distance between electrodes. Closer plates (such as 0.5 inches) will provide greater conductivity and will allow higher currents during the rising phase. Then allow more separation such as 1 inch.
The temperature of the water. Water conductivity increases dramatically with higher temperatures.
Time(approximate) to reach 25 ppm once you have overcome the rising phase, and achieved continuous target microsiemens plateau current level of 2 milliamperes per square inch of electrode area in various volumes of water. The initial current will be much lower due to the low conductivity of distilled water (Ohm’s law). Our more powerful generators have higher voltages to overcome this initial resistance
For higher quality, (smaller nanoparticles), use 1 rather than 2 milliamperes per square inch of electrode area, which will double the processing time.
