The Chemistry of Ionized Water: How Water Scale Affects Ionizer Performance
Posted by David Cannon on 23rd Jul 2026
Ionized water is water that has been processed through electrolysis, a method that uses an electric current to separate water into acidic and alkaline streams. During this process, dissolved minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium help conduct electricity, allowing the water's pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and mineral distribution to change.
The chemistry of ionized water is based on the movement of positively and negatively charged ions across specialized electrode
