What is an ionizer for air or water in an apartment?

Poor ecological situation makes people look for means with which you can at least somehow protectyour health. That's why the house needs an ionizer - depending on which device and for what purposes you use, it cleans the air or water. You can drink plenty of vitamins, choose foods, pick on their composition, and periodically go out into the countryside. But if you spend most of your life in the city, your health depends on air and water. Of course, it's impossible to protect yourself from danger on the street. But you can take care of the microclimate in your home.

What is an ionizer

To understand how this device works, you will have to remember the school chemistry course. The air contains the smallest particles - ions. All of them have a positive or negative charge. Ideally, the air is saturated with so many ions, thanks to which the person feels cheerful. No headaches, the body does not lend itself to viruses.

But why are we constantly confronted with all these problems? For sure, many people are familiar with the constant feeling of sleepiness with which rest does not help. The reason for this is the insufficient number of ions in the air. For example, in closed premises their level is fifteen times lower. Most of all, this is felt in the rooms, in which computers and TVs are constantly working. That is, the most harmful to office workers.

The chemical composition of water is also an important point on the road to health. Drinking water should have a neutral acid-base balance. But at best we buy bottled drinks. Such water is processed in the production, due to which harmful chemical elements are removed from it. And with this, there is a violation of balance - acidity increases. And this is also harmful to the body. Especially when you consider that the acidity is high in other products that we consume daily.

Principles of operation

Let's look at the principles of the ionizer.

1. A current is applied to the ionizing electrodes in the device.
2. Because of this, they are discharged.
3. Electrons are "draining" into the air.
4. When they interact with oxygen molecules, ions are formed.
5. They extend to a distance of about three meters.

It is important to note that with the aid of the device, light negative ions are formed. They are most useful for human health.

The principle of the water ionizer is very different.

1. This device has two plates with different charges.
2. One is made of silver - it's an anode.
3. The other is stainless steel. This is the cathode.
4. During operation, an electric current is passed through them, which causes the release of silver ions.
5. Because of this, the acid-base balance changes, and the water is divided into "live" and "dead".

The device has separate channels for two types of water."Live" - ​​this is the one in which there has been an increase in alkalinity and a decrease in acidity. Such water is also needed to maintain health.

Result of

How exactly will this device affect your body?

Air ionizer effect:

• will restore the cardiovascular system;
• will improve sleep;
• will bounce back your appetite;
• memory is activated and brain work as a whole;
• will reduce fatigue;
• will be strengthened immunity( especially it is important for people who constantly catch colds or all year round suffer from a cold and cough);
• will disappear breathing problems;
• possible cessation of allergic reactions;
• will reduce the harm from the radiation of the computer monitor and the TV screen;

The effect of water ionizer:

• the main direction is the decrease in acidity in the body;
• strengthening of bones( because of acids coming from food, there is a decrease in the amount of calcium, and in fact it is the key to healthy bones);
• treated water will help in the treatment of gastritis and ulcers, liver diseases;
• is also needed by people who have begun to struggle with being overweight;
• water contributes to brain function and will be useful at constant nervous tension.

Contraindications

Of course, as with any medication, the use of the ionizer and the results of its operation have some drawbacks and contraindications.

• The need to clean the device regularly. Because of the specifics of the work around it will accumulate dust.
• Possible harm from the electromagnetic field, although the negative effects have not yet been scientifically proven.
• It should not be used by people who have had a heart attack.

Separately it is necessary to tell about contraindications ionized water. It can not be used in people who have the following pathologies diagnosed:

• urolithiasis;
• kidney disease;
• diabetes mellitus.

How to use in apartment

When using an ionizer in a room, several rules must be observed.

• The instructions for the instrument must be checked. It should provide a time during which the continuous operation of the ionizer is allowed. In no case should you leave it on for the whole day.
• Do not place it close to the wall.
• Position the device in the part of the room where the cause of the air pollution is located - in places where people are crowded and where electrical appliances are located.
• If you want to install it near a workstation, remember - the distance between this device and the computer should be at least half a meter.
• In rooms where it is very dusty, in the first few days, do not turn on the ionizer in the presence of people.
• In addition, the instructions to some devices indicate that when using them it is better to leave the room.
• Do not forget to clean the appliance regularly.
• Ventilate the room half an hour before the ionizer is turned on.

There is a possibility that after starting use you will notice a slight deterioration in health - nausea, dizziness, trouble breathing. This is perfectly normal, because the body is not used to clean air. A similar condition is observed when going to nature.

How to use the car

In the car it is also worthwhile to install an ionizer. Because of the limited space and operation of the machine itself, the number of negative ions there is less than anywhere else. This causes the accumulation of viruses and microbes. In addition, we must not forget about such a dangerous substance as carbon monoxide.

Ionizers for the car are portable. They can work both on batteries and cigarette lighter. Different models differ in the way they are installed, but mostly they are mounted either on the dashboard or on the windshield.

Many car ionizers are equipped with additional functions:

• motion sensor, thanks to which the device will start and stop work independently;
• the possibility of adding flavoring.

"Miss Purity" draws attention: as a rule, these devices do not require replaceable filters. But they also need to be cleaned regularly - for this it is enough to hold on the hole with a cotton swab, after having moistened it with alcohol.

How to drink ionized water

When you receive water treated with an ionizer, you should also follow the instructions. Their non-compliance can be harmful to health.

• If you do not have health problems and the transition to ionized water is only needed for preventive purposes, then it should be consumed half an hour before eating.
• With gastritis with acidity or ulcer, water is drunk while eating.
• Treatment of gastritis with low acidity is accompanied by the intake of ionized water one hour before meals.
• Drink water in small sips. It should be at room temperature, or slightly warm.
• Every day you can eat no more than one glass, with some exceptions.

When treating an ulcer, the course of water intake should not exceed a week. Then you should take a break in five days and repeat the course.

To get rid of gastritis, you need to drink water for six days.

In the case of liver disease treatment should not exceed four days. In this case, you need to drink two glasses a day.

How to choose

When choosing an air ionizer, consider the following characteristics.

• The number of ions that it produces. The best figure is 50,000. But for a house, a device with a lower value will do.
• Availability of two certificates. Technical serves as a proof that the device actually produces the specified number of ions. Hygienic confirms the safety of the ionizer and the possibility of its use in living quarters.
• Area for which the device is designed. In the case of ionizers, not square but cubic centimeters are used to calculate this characteristic. The ionizer should allocate 400 positive and 600 negative ions per centimeter cubic.
• A big plus for the ionizer is the presence of a fan - so the processed air will fill the room faster.
• Noise level - in inexpensive models it is quite high.

Advice

Make sure that the device does not emit ozone - exceeding its normal amount can damage your health.

Ionizers have not yet received wide circulation and cause distrust of people. However, it is difficult to argue with the fact that they benefit health. A large selection of models will allow you to choose a device for both home and workplace.
