How a Water Ionizer Works at Home

A water ionizer sits on the kitchen counter or under the sink and connects to your tap. Here is what happens inside it, step by step.

Step 1: Filtration

Tap water first passes through an internal filter that reduces sediment, chlorine and common impurities.

Step 2: Electrolysis

The filtered water flows over platinum-coated titanium plates. A small electric current separates it into alkaline water and acidic water.

Step 3: Two outlets

Alkaline water comes from the main outlet for drinking and cooking. Acidic water comes from the second outlet for external use and cleaning.

Settings you will use

• Alkaline levels for drinking and cooking.
• Neutral filtered water for medicines and infants.
• Acidic water for rinsing and cleaning.

Care and maintenance

Chanson ionizers clean their plates automatically. The filter needs replacing at regular intervals, and the display tells you when.

An ionizer gives you clean, fresh water on tap. It is a kitchen appliance, not a medical device for treating illness.
