Creating Super Alkaline/Super Acidic Water

EOS Tech has designed the Genesis to not produce water stronger than a 11 pH alkaline or 3.0 pH acid.  They did this for your safety.   Drinking either of these waters could be dangerous to your health.  But since there are uses for super alkaline water (greater than 11 pH) and super acid water (less than 3.0 ph), we thought we would include instructions on how to achieve them with normal (not too hard, not too soft, not too cold, not too hot) water.

Note:  If your water is too hard or too soft or too cold or too hot you will not be able to achieve these waters without pre-treatment of your source water.  See the “Source Water Problem and Solution” chart in the "prefilter" page under "products."

1)    Set the Genesis electrolysis to the maximum level. Go to the “Programming Your Genesis” video in this Genesis instructions section:

 a)    Change the pH of the source water to be ionized to 8.0. 

 b)    Set the highest pH on the #4 alkaline setting. 

 c)    Increase the ORP to its highest level

This is the highest level of electrolysis the Genesis can produce.

2)    Now, lower the water flow rate to between 1.0 and 1.2 liters per minute by adjusting either your faucet diverter valve or cold water line diverter valve.

3)    Select the #4 alkaline setting and push the “on” button.

4)    Collect the acid water draining from the disposal hose on the bottom of the Genesis.  This is the strongest acid water your Genesis can produce.  Its pH will not be displayed on the screen.  You can only measure its pH accurately with a pH meter.  Usually the pH is between 2 and 3 pH. You can use this water to kill bacteria and viruses and other uses.

5)    To create super alkaline water, set the Genesis to the #4 acid level and collect the alkaline water from the disposal hose.  Usually this water is 11pH and higher.  You can use this water to disinfect.   

Note:  Do this at your own risk.  Water for Life USA and EOS Tech are not responsible for misuse of this water. 

Note:  Return the Genesis to its previous settings before drinking the water again.
