Overview
Water ionizers make use of positive and negative ions to alkalize drinking water and separate the good minerals from the impurities. When the water is ionized, it is separated into two forms--alkalized and acidic. Alkalized water tends to be healthier and more readily absorbed by vital organs in the body than ordinary water. You can make your own water ionizer with some inexpensive materials.
Step 1
Cut a 2-inch hole in one side of both 1-gallon containers. Make sure that the holes are the exact height in each container. The containers will sit side by side with the holes facing each other.
Step 2
Insert the piece of chamois into the PVC pipe. The chamois needs to completely fill the pipe. The chamois will act as a filter during the ionization process. Insert the PVC pipe into the holes that you cut into the 1 gallon containers so that a portion of the pipe extends into both containers.
Step 3
Connect one end of an electrical wire onto the connection on the titanium electrode and the other end onto the second electrode. Before connecting the wire to the electrode, strip both ends of each wire to expose the copper wiring.
Step 4
Attach an electrode on the inside of each container. Many electrodes have a sticky back. Stick one electrode to the side of each container. The other end of the wire will be outside of the container.
Step 5
Cut the adapter end off of the power adapter. Use the box knife to separate the wires on the power adapter. Inside of the insulating sheath on the power adapter wire there are two separate wires.
Step 6
Connect an alligator clip to each end of the separated wires on the power adapter. Alligator clips resemble an alligators jaws. Clamp one alligator clip to an electrode wire and the second to the other wire. Make sure that the alligator clamp and the end of the wire coming from each container stays on the outside of each container.
Step 7
Fill each container with water. Plug in the power adapter. It will take approximately 2 hours for the water in one container to become alkalized. The other container will be acidic and turn brown. This container will hold the impurities from the ionized water
