Regular tap water is passed through a filtering process (two filters are used in the Tyent machine - a carbon filter and a ceramic filter) to remove a variety of unsavory items, including e coli, fungus, mold and a startling assortment of chemical polutants.
Next, the filtered water passes into an electrolysis chamber equipped with five to seven (depending on the unit) platinum-coated mesh titanium electrodes where electrolysis takes place. Cations, positive ions, gather at the negative electrodes to create cathodic water (reduced water); and concentrates available alkaline minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and potassium from the source water. Anions, negatively charged ions, gather at the positive electrode to make anodic water (oxidized water). The minerals are more easily absorbed into the cells; and the reduced water, whose molecules are "reduced" in size and reshaped into hexagonal clusters, are more easily absorbed by the cells where they hydrate and clean out the acidic waste.
When taken internally, the Reduced Ionized Water with its redox potential of -250 to -350 mV readily donates its electrons to oddball oxygen ("free") radicals and blocks the interaction of the active oxygen "free radicals" with normal cells; therefore, biological molecules remain intact and undamaged.
Undamaged biological molecules are less susceptible to infection and disease. Ionized Water gives up an extra electron and reduces the active oxygen (free radicals) thus rendering it harmless, and it is done without damaging surrounding cells.
The oxidized (acid) water is also a valuable result of electrolysis. There are two levels of the oxidized water which can be used for sterilization, skin washing, and used on plants to kill fungus and mold without damaging the plants or your hands.
