I've owned a water ionizer for over 20 years! After retiring from being a teacher/principal in 2007 I have been at the forefront of selling water ionizers as well. I have a very long list of uses for a water ionizer, and here are my top 30 water ionizer uses. My favorite use for a water ionizer is to drink alkaline ionized water.

My Top 10 Water Ionizer Uses for Alkaline Ionized Water:

1. Drinking alkaline ionized water all day long for the pH-balancing benefits as well as the antioxidant benefits...to detoxify the body and fight free-radicals on an everyday basis. My water ionizer also removes chemicals, heavy-metals, fluoride, radio-active elements and fluoride from my water!
2. Making coffee or juice-drinks with alkaline ionized water.
3. Soaking fresh fruits and vegetables in to make them stay fresher and taste better as I snack on them throughout the day.
4. Making soups or stews.
5. Cooking vegetables.
6. Washing fruits and vegetables to remove oily residues.
7. Making ice cubes.
8. Soaking meats in alkaline ionized water to tenderize them.

8 More of my Favorite Uses for Alkaline Ionized Water:

1. Kitchen: Keep greasy surfaces cleaned up without the necessity for chemical-based cleaners.
2. Bath: Clean dirt and greasy bath and toilet-bowel rings and stains.
3. Laundry: Remove greasy-stains, dirt and odors from clothing [especially fine, hand-washables].
4. Pets: Fill the water bowl with fresh, lightly-ionized water daily for healthier pets.
5. Soak a bee-sting or skin-rash [e.g., from poison ivy] with alkaline water to remove the toxins then wash off with acid water to kill germs and bring it back to a slightly acidic pH, which the skin loves.
6. Personal Care: On-the-Go Mid-Day Washing: Sponge-bathe with alkaline water to remove dirt and grease from areas of the body and then wash off with acid water to kill germs and restore the skin's natural, slightly-acidic pH.
7. Plant Care: Some plants are alkaline-loving and the majority of others prefer a slightly-acidic pH. Do a search to discover which pH your plants love and then adjust their ionized water accordingly.
8. Smoothies & Mixed Drinks: Make all smoothies and mixed-drinks with alkaline ionized water to make them taste better and be healthier for your body. My dad makes his scotch & water with ionized water, and the ORP [antioxidant-level] is usually about -400!
