The history of the water ionizer is a story of how science stumbled upon one of the mysteries of nature in a remote, harsh part of the world where the inhabitants showed exceptional Longevity and Good Health.
The cause of this exceptional health was found to be the glacier water that flowed into the valley that the locals drank.
Other scientists then managed, quite by accident, to discover how electricity could be used to re-freshen, re-structure and re-energise water as nature does. (excerpt from Growing-Health.com)
The best Ionized/Oxidized water purification system will soon be available to the public at a reasonable cost. Imagine being able to drink, bathe, irrigate, etc. with bottled water quality H2O…. (@ $4000 for whole house)
Keep checking my blog to see when it will be available.
The EcoSmart Oxy/Ion whole house filter is the most advanced method of water purification available. This State-of-the-art electronic ionization combined with multimedia filtration and oxygen deliver the highest quality water with bacterial control for the most economical and practical residential applications.
Replaces other water treatment methods. No iron filters, chemical feeders, or taste and odor filters. No changing tanks every month. No buying bottled water. Does not restrict or reduce your supply of water. Treats all the water. No maintenance costs - no salt, filters, or membranes. Leaves in beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium and provides necessary nutrient levels of copper.
Prevents hard scale by electrically changing minerals so they cannot bind together. The ionizing cell changes the hard calcium carbonate (CACO3) into its soft form of bicarbonate CA2H (CO3). Calcium is kept in this soluble form and will not convert to the hard form unless heated to 155°F. Safely dissolves existing scale in your pipes, water heater, and plumbing fixtures.
Premium quality water means you use less soap or detergent for dish washing, kitchen clean-up, floors, baths, and car washing. Use less laundry detergent, shampoo, hand soap and other cleaning agents. Wash your car or boat without leaving the hard spotting you get from untreated water.
Increase equipment life and drastically reduce maintenance problems for water heaters, coffee makers, dishwashers, ice makers, and all your plumbing and fixtures. Reduce your energy costs with more efficient equipment. The single greatest cause of equipment failure is scale and corrosion, which is no longer a problem. Hard water build-up was the primary reason I put one in my home.
Think about it…it is like bathing and watering the lawn with bottled water!

Calcium & Mangnesium in Groundwater
What is hard water?
Water that is hard contains calcium and magnesium compounds. Rain water is naturally soft - it does not contain any minerals, but as it seeps through the ground it can pick up minerals, such as calcium and magnesium compounds, from the soil and rocks it passes through. If rain water passes through soft rocks like chalk or limestone, it picks up these minerals. If it passes through hard rocks, such as granite or through peaty soils, it does not pick up these minerals and so remains soft. Hard water causes pipes to scale to collect in coffee makers, dishwashers and washing machines. If the scale collects in hot water heaters it shortens their life and makes appliances less efficient. It is also more difficult to work up a lather from soap, washing up liquid and washing powders. As far as aesthetics, hard water turns laundry/clothes yellow and creates a foggy/cloudy appearance on your dishes.
I have found that the best way to eliminate problems caused by hard water is to use a “complete home purification system.” The EcoSmarte Oxy/Ion Whole House Filtration System in the best product on the market. It costs around $3200, which is nothing compared to the damages created from hard water! Check out EnergySupplyStore.com and click on the Solar/Wind Tab. It is listed in their water products category!
It’s hard sometimes to imagine air as a fluid. It just seems so … invisible. But air is a fluid like any other except that its particles are in gas form instead of liquid. And when air moves quickly, in the form of wind, those particles are moving quickly. Motion means kinetic energy, which can be captured, just like the energy in moving water can be captured by the turbine in a hydroelectric dam. In the case of a wind-electric turbine, the turbine blades are designed to capture the kinetic energy in wind. The rest is nearly identical to a hydroelectric setup: When the turbine blades capture wind energy and start moving, they spin a shaft that leads from the hub of the rotor to a generator. The generator turns that rotational energy into electricity. At its essence, generating electricity from the wind is all about transferring energy from one medium to another.
Wind power all starts with the sun. When the sun heats up a certain area of land, the air around that land mass absorbs some of that heat. At a certain temperature, that hotter air begins to rise very quickly because a given volume of hot air is lighter than an equal volume of cooler air. Faster-moving (hotter) air particles exert more pressure than slower-moving particles, so it takes fewer of them to maintain the normal air pressure at a given elevation (see How Hot Air Balloons Work to learn more about air temperature and pressure). When that lighter hot air suddenly rises, cooler air flows quickly in to fill the gap the hot air leaves behind. That air rushing in to fill the gap is wind.
If you place an object like a rotor blade in the path of that wind, the wind will push on it, transferring some of its own energy of motion to the blade. This is how a wind turbine captures energy from the wind. The same thing happens with a sail boat. When moving air pushes on the barrier of the sail, it causes the boat to move. The wind has transferred its own energy of motion to the sailboat.
