METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING OXYGENATED WATER

摘要

An apparatus (10) generates oxygenated water having a significantly reduced oxidation reduction potential (ORP) wherein the water flows through a carbon filter (100) which removes particulate impurities from the water as it comes into the apparatus (10). A water softener (150) removes minerals from the water. A reverse osmosis unit (200) further cleans and purifies the water, removing any additional solids, and almost all of the minerals and chlorides. A blender (250) adds a precisely measured amount of sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate to the water making it electrically conductive. A pump (400) moves the water into an electrolysis cell (450), where current passing through the water. The hydrogen and oxygen tend to both raise the oxygen level in the water becoming an antioxidant having a ORP of +50 to -350 mV. The water is then transferred to a sparging unit (500) where the water flows through an oxygen-rich environment to increase the oxygen level in the water.
