Learn Essential Checklist Before Choosing an Alkaline Ionizer!

Alkaline Ionizer, If You Buy Without Knowing This, You'll 100% Regret It

Hello, I'm the Water Doctor from Mediqua, responsible for your healthy water habits.

Have you ever thought about what makes 'good water'? Since it is something we drink every day, many people are interested in buying not just a regular water purifier but an alkaline ionizer. However, when you try to research, it can be overwhelming. Everything looks similar, prices vary greatly, and the endless technical jargon makes it difficult to decide on which product to choose.

Unlike a simple water purifier that just filters water, an alkaline ionizer is classified as a 'medical device' that can help with digestive symptoms, so there are a few key criteria you must check before purchasing. Today, I will clearly outline those criteria for you. With this knowledge, at the very least, you'll avoid making a 'wrong choice'.

First Check: 'Medical Device' Certification from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety

This is the most important and fundamental item. Some products on the market are just 'alkaline purifiers' that simply increase the pH level of water. However, the effect we expect in improving digestive symptoms (chronic diarrhea, indigestion, abnormal fermentation in the stomach, excess stomach acid) applies only to alkaline ionizers that have received official 'medical device' certification from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

Medical device certification means that both the safety and functional effectiveness of the product have been verified according to strict standards. Be sure to check that the phrase 'medical device' is clearly indicated in the detailed product description or on its exterior. This is not optional; it's an essential condition. Because the purpose and management standards for general consumer goods and medical devices are different, it's wise to check this first for products concerning our family's health.

Second Check: The Heart of Ionized Water, the 'Electrode Chamber' Performance

The core technology of an alkaline ionizer lies in the 'electrolysis system', specifically the electrode chamber. The electrode chamber plays a crucial role in separating alkaline water from acidic water by applying electricity to the water. The performance and safety of this chamber are heavily influenced by the material of the electrode plate.

The most commonly used material is 'platinum-coated titanium'. Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion, providing stability, and platinum enhances the efficiency of electrolysis. This combination minimizes the risk of harmful substance release, such as heavy metals, allowing for stable alkaline water generation. Sometimes, lower-cost materials are used for cost-saving purposes, so it's wise to carefully scrutinize what materials are used in the electrode plate and if it is designed with a reliable structure. Remember, the performance of the electrode chamber is one of the key criteria for assessing the quality of an alkaline ionizer.

Third Check: Basic of Basics, the 'Filter System'

No matter how excellent the electrolysis performance, it's useless if the raw water isn't clean. Before producing alkaline water, it's essential to check how effectively harmful substances are filtered from the water.

A good filter system must effectively remove residual chlorine, heavy metals, micro-particles, bacteria, etc., while leaving behind the minerals necessary for electrolysis. To achieve this, a composite filter combining multiple filtration stages is commonly used. It's important to check what substances the filter can remove, as well as the lifespan and replacement cycle of the filter. Filter performance is directly related to both water taste and safety, so it must be carefully considered.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

"Is alkaline water really good for you? It's not medicine."

Yes, that's a great question. Alkaline ionizers are not medicinal drugs. However, as I mentioned before, they are 'medical devices' recognized for functionality by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. They are officially approved to help improve digestive symptoms like chronic diarrhea, indigestion, excess stomach acid, and abnormal fermentation in the stomach. Rather than treating diseases, it is beneficial to understand them as a tool to help manage digestive health consistently through everyday water consumption.

"Isn't installation or maintenance complicated?"

The installation of most alkaline ionizer products is handled by professionals who come to your location. Maintenance mainly involves periodic filter replacement, and recent products are designed to notify you automatically when a filter change is needed or make replacement easy, so there shouldn't be much difficulty. Additionally, choose models with an automatic cleaning feature that prevents scale buildup in the electrode chamber for more convenient use.
