Water Ionizer Plates / Electrodes: The Heart of the Matter
We drink alkaline ionized water for the healthy properties. The electrodes create the ionization which deliver those benefits. When it comes to ionizers, understanding electrodes is like understanding the importance of your cardiac system to your overall health.
The water cell is the heart of an ionizer. It consists of a series of electrodes (plates), each separated by a membrane. This page will explain how electrode technologies differ and what that means to ionizer performance and ultimately your health.
Ultra Water Solutions gives a lifetime guarantee on the H2 Series, ionizer plates along with an assurance that they will easily outlast those of competitive brands.
What you need to know about electrodes...
There is so much hype and misinformation about electrodes. You will hear bigger and / or more are better. One advertises 13 plates and 800 watts. We are ionizing water not powering 20-inch sub-woofers! Bigger or more plates or more power really means inefficient engineering, low quality materials and poor manufacturing – NOT better performance. Consider this too: more power means more heat which breaks down the platinum plating faster resulting in poor performance.
There is hype too around plate type. Performance is not about the plate type, but rather the sophistication of the engineering and the quality of the materials and manufacturing. Educate yourself on some basics and you will easily see why our Smart Electrodes offer you the most advanced engineering, along with the best materials and manufacturing. This means more efficient performance and lasting durability. That is powerful. That is smart.
Smart Electrodes
Smart Electrodes start with the highest quality materials. We use the highest quality, certified 99.9% pure, titanium from Japan and the highest quality platinum. There is a myth put out by an MLM company that their plates are medical grade, but there is no such thing as medical grade titanium.
The electrodes are engineered employing an advanced flat design that offers more effective surface area than slotted or mesh plates of the same size.
The electrodes are robotically electro-plated using a proprietary technique. A computer controlled robotic arm is used to apply the platinum, under pressure, multiple times and from different angles that allows the most precise plating application. The resulting plate surface can direct a uniform electron flow and provide the most efficient power saturation.
Our proprietary electroplating process and the resulting Smart Electrodes feature technological advances and enhanced performance characteristics which allow superior ionizer performance in the following ways:The electrodes are robotically electro-plated using a proprietary technique.

Superior platinum adhesion
Superior conductivity which allows for lower power and higher efficiency
Increased surface area; up to 3x the number of vertices as smooth dipped plates
Optimized water flow dynamics over the plate surface due to vertices (increased performance proven in independent US EPA certified testing)
