Oxidation Reduction Potential (O.R.P.)

Oxidation Reduction Potential (O.R.P.)

An abbreviation for "oxidation reduction potential"; it is a measurement of a body of water's ability to exidize contaminants. Measured with an electrode and an electronic meter. It is an indication of the sanitizing level or degree of safety from disease in the water. Measured in millivolts with the accepted minimum level being 650 mV (millivolt).

ORP refers to the Oxidative Reduction Potential. This is a value that shows the proportion of oxidation ions (such as chloride ion) and reduction ions (such as calcium ion) in a substance that takes the form of solution. If this value is shown as minus - as compared with the reference value, this substance reduces other substances and can easily be oxidized. If this value is shown as a plus compared with the reference value, the substance oxidizes others and it can be easily reduced. The unit is most often shown in mV(milivolt) and it is used as an index that shows the development of chemical reactions.

Virtually all liquids have an Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP), which is the potential for one liquid substance to reduce the oxidation of another substance, as measured in millivolts (mV). 

In other words, the more powerful the antioxidant, the lower the ORP level. As things oxidize, the ORP rises. ORP is easily measured with a calibrated meter.

Normal tap water has an ORP of +250 to +400, meaning that its potential for reducing oxidation is nonexistent. 

Only a negative ORP can reduce or negate oxidation. 

Alkaline ionized water has an ORP of -200 to -350, depending in part on the amount of minerals in the source water and which level the unit is on. This means it has a very high potential for reducing oxidation. 

Fresh squeezed orange juice has a -250 ORP, as do most other fresh squeezed juices and vegetables. However, if they have been pasteurized or otherwise processed, the antioxidant properties are diminished or removed. 

Research reveals that bottled mineral waters have an average ORP of approximately +200mV only slightly lower than ordinary tap water.

You will notice that the Enagic Ionized Electrolysis Water Generators create the LOWEST ORP of up to -800mV. If you research this, you will not find any other device that compares...

This fact dramatically sets Enagic apart from other devices on the market.

"We are advancing the theory that the 
most effective and economical source for an antioxidant is ordinary tap water after |it is filtered and treated with electrolysis."
