NewCell Alkaline Hydrogen Portable Water Ionizer Stick Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I bought this product I did plenty of online research on alkaline water. I was trying to understand what the benefits were and why people would pay thousands of dollars for the water ionizers. Some of the conclusions that I came to was that the alkalinity of the water was not the beneficial aspect of the water ionizers, but rather the antioxidant effects of the water. As I understand, the antioxidant effects of water or solution is measured in ORPs, which stands for Oxidation Reduction Potential, also called Redox. ORPs also measure the oxidizing effects of water.
The effects of oxidation can be witnessed when metal rusts, when a sliced apple browns, or when a material is burning. Oxidation probably works similarly in the human body, though I am not a biologist or scientist and cannot make any claims. It seems that this is why antioxidants are so popular and said to be such an important part of the body's diet. If oxidation has the effect of breaking down, then antioxidants could be said to have the effect of building up, or at least not breaking down. Please do your own research to verify the accuracy of this information.
We were contemplating purchasing one of the less expensive water ionizers ($700 range), but it didn't seem to make sense when some of the portable and inexpensive water ionizers such as this stick were making claims of producing negative ORP, which would be antioxidant water (I think). The expensive machines claim to produce water with an ORP in the range of anywhere from -200 to as high (or low) as -1100. As you might guess, ORP in the negative range is an antioxidant, whereas ORP in the positive range is an oxidant (again I think). I don't know where exactly the transition point is, meaning if 0 ORP is perfectly neutral or not.
So I decided to purchase a digital ORP meter ($100) that also measured pH at the same time I ordered the portable ionizer sticks (I ordered a NewCell Alkaline Hydrogen Portable Water Ionizer Stick and a Alkaline Hydrogen Water Stick aka Diet Water Ion Stick), since using a meter is the only way to determine the ORP and this is the critical measurement. Fortunately everything arrived at the same time. Over the next few days I ran a battery of tests using different waters and taking measurements before using the stick and after. The tests were performed in my kitchen and not highly controlled, although I did do my best by rinsing everything with each new sample using the water of that particular sample as the rinse. By the way, the two portable ionizer sticks were identical, the only difference was that one cost twice as much.
Per the instructions on the portable water ionizer I placed the stick inside of a water bottle and shook for 30 seconds, then let sit for 20 minutes. I took before and after samples. Here are the results of the tests:
These first two tests I did out of the box, the remaining 7 I did a few days later.
Tap water
Before
pH: 8.17
ORP: 490
After
pH: 9.02
ORP: -125
Distilled water
Before
pH: 6.9
ORP: 230
After
pH: 10.02
ORP: -80
These tests I did a few days after I had the ionizer sticks and had been using them frequently (I only used one stick for all of the test so that the results would be consistent, though I get similar results from either stick):
Tap water
Before
pH: 8.29
ORP: 579
After
pH: 8.75
ORP: 75
Distilled water
Before
pH: 6.45
ORP: 350
After
pH: 10.06
ORP: 13
Arrowhead brand
Before
pH: 7.82
ORP: 243
After
pH: 8.41
ORP: 50
Crystal Geyser brand
Before
pH: 6.88
ORP: 260
After
pH: 7.34
ORP: 4
Safeway brand spring water
Before
pH: 7.67
ORP: 251
After
pH: 8.75
ORP: 24
Evian brand
Before
pH: 7.49
ORP: 258
After
pH: 8.0
ORP 10
Fuji brand
Before
pH: 7.88
ORP: 262
After
pH: 8.07
ORP 23
Conclusions: As you can see from the results the ionizer sticks had the most significant effects on the distilled and tap waters. Also, I forgot to remove the stick one morning and it sat in the water for almost 2 hours. It raised the pH of the water by about another half point from the standard results but had no appreciable effects on the ORP. It seems that shaking the water vigorously for a longer period of time will get you lower ORP.
I think that these products are definitely worth the money, and I would recommend purchasing an ORP meter if you are serious about getting the results you want.
I hope this information helped you.
