Low cost and indigenous water ionizer machine to provide water with different pH values

Description

In the recent times drinking water has been the most critical issue that almost all the world is facing. Especially in a country like India, it’s the chronic issue of utmost importance, which has received less attention. Although people are able to manage the water, quality of the drinking water seems to be a challenge; which ultimately affects the overall health of the body. While everybody across the globes appreciates the importance of the Himalayan water and its qualities as a ‘drinking water’, the research delves into how water available in households, can be turned into the best possible drinking water with the required qualities. Using alkaline water for drinking is one of the ways to achieve health. Very less research has been done over it. So it was taken as a challenge to work on the technology to achieve required alkalinity of the output water. This technology can provide user not only the alkalinity but also any required pH value in the specified range. Water ionizers that are used to obtain different pH that are available in foreign countries are quite expensive because of the use of platinum sheets as electrodes. This paper focuses on substituting the platinum electrodes to SS316 Plates as electrodes to obtain water of different pH.
