Electrolyzed oxidizing water or ionyzed water solution

Aquacode Electrolyzed Water (EW, EOW or EO, also known as electrolyzed oxidizing water or ionyzed water solution) technology is the process of passing ordinary water or a diluted saline solution through a specially designed electrolytic cell in order to modify its functional properties without adding reagents. Aquacode solutions (anolyte and catholyte) have the demonstrated ability to:

  • Destroy microorganisms such as botrytis fungus, salmonella, e-coli, listeria and anthrax spores;
  • Purify water; and
  • Clean and Degrease.

Aquacode designs, markets, assembles and sells equipment that can produce two basic types of fluids:

1. Anolyte solutions are strong oxidizing solutions with a pH range of 2.5 – 8.5 and an Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) of +600 to +1200 mV. Anolyte can potentially be used as a broad spectrum germicidal agent to kill all types of microorganisms including viruses, fungi and bacteria.

2. Catholyte solutions are antioxidizing, mild alkaline solutions with a pH range of 10.5 to 12.0 and ORP of –600 to –900 mV. Catholyte solutions can potentially be used as degreasers or detergents.

Based on extensive research, both anolyte and catholyte solutions:

  • Are environmentally friendly
  • Are non-toxic to both humans and animals
  • Do not require special handling
  • Are powerful biocides
  • Can be safely disposed of in sewage systems
  • Are fast-acting
  • Can be used at all stages of disinfection and cleaning
  • At recommended concentrations, do not bleach surfaces or materials
  • Can be applied in liquid, ice or aerosol (fog) form
  • Are hypoallergenic
  • Yield by-products that are non-toxic, environmentally friendly and leave no synthetic chemical residue
  • Can be generated on-site, thus eliminating handling and storage of chemicals
  • Can be produced on-site from tap water and salt in required quantities and concentrations of active ingredients, pH and salinity (mineralization).

Anolyte contains among other things Hypochlorous Acid that is a highly potent bactericide. Bacteria such as Escherichia coli when exposed to Hypochlorous Acid lose viability in less than 100ms. Escherichia coli is a major cause of food and water-borne infections in humans.

In addition to killing bacteria anolyte is effective in breaking down Biofilms which protect the bacteria from the action of the hypochlorous acid.

As a hard-surface disinfectant anolyte application on a daily basis for more than a decade has demonstrated that microorganisms do not develop immunity to anolyte over time. This makes it possible to apply Aquacode equipment in a number of areas directly related to personal health and safety.
