Portable Water Ionizers - The Basics

There are three basic portable water ionizer options:

Drops/drop ins

Sticks

Pitchers

Drops/drop-ins

These are drops, tablets or powders that can be "dropped into" or added to water. They typically consist of minerals in liquid, powder or compressed tablet form, which interact with the water to elevate the pH and create a mild negative charge or ORP (oxidation reduction potential).

While they are convenient - can be carried in a pocket or purse - most will typically have limitations with regard to how much of the product should be used in a 24-hour period. Also, these products offer no filtration - they are simply adding to/altering the water - whether it's filtered or not. If you want "clean" alkaline water you'll have to add start with water that has been filtered or purchase bottled water.

The size and portability of these products makes them convenient to carry and a good alternative for quick trips but you should continue the long-term expense of purchasing the product along with the cost of purchasing bottled water if you want to avoid the contaminants found in regular tap water. Finally, there shouldn't be a limit on how much of a natural substance you can consume in a day. Personally, I try to avoid using products with any sort of "do not exceed this much usage in this period of time" warnings.

Sticks

Another popular choice are "stick" products when can be dropped into a bottle of water. These are a little less convenient than the drop-in portable alkalizing products but they can also be slightly more effective with regard to raising the ORP of the water.

What you don't get with these "stick" portable ionizers is filtration. While some reduce chlorine levels somewhat, others offer no filtration at all. Another thing you don't get is "instant" ionized water. Most of these products have to remain in contact with the water for up to 15 minutes before the water becomes fully "charged." Adding one of these stick products to a bottle of water and then shaking the bottle can speed up the ionizing process.

Another downside to this type of portable water ionizer option is maintenance. Many of them require that you keep them covered in water after the first use. If you're on the go, topping off your water bottle to keep the stick covered can be inconvenient. You may end up carrying around two bottles - one with your ionizing stick and the other with extra water so you can add more to your "stick" bottle to keep your little ionizer stick covered with water.

Some stick ionizer products also require cleaning every couple of weeks - another inconvenience. Add to this the cost of replacing the sticks - and the cost of buying filtered water to use with them - and these products may not be your most cost effective option.

Pitchers

Though they are called pitchers, these are not bulky products that can't be carried around. They are larger than the ionizing stick and drop-in products but they are still small enough to fit in a backpack, larger purse or other tote.

The biggest benefit of pitcher-style portable water ionizers is their ability to actually filter the water while also alkalizing and ionizing. This means that you can use water from any tap at any location and know that common contaminants are being removed.

Of the pitcher-style products the most popular has been the H2Go Portable water ionizer - formerly sold as the Waterman Pitcher. When removed and flipped over, the cap of the H2Go becomes a reservoir that fits onto the filter of the product. The reservoir is filled with tap water and flows down through the filter into the pitcher.

The filter contains media that removes Water ionizer chlorine, bacteria and other common contaminants and significantly reduces heavy metals. Other media inside the filter interacts with the minerals in the water to alkalize and ionized the water as it passes through. You can filter 16 ounces of water in just over one minute.

Testing of the H2Go using pH and ORP meters has shown pH levels as high as 10.5 with ORP readings as high as -350. That ORP is comparable to what you would expect from lower-end water ionizers.

The H2Go stands just under 8 inches tall, with the reservoir cap on, and is just over 4 1/2 inches wide. About the size of a short thermos and easily tucked away in a larger purse, tote or carry-on bag.

Another popular "pitcher-style" portable water ionizer choice is the Alkapod. Better looking and more compact than the H2Go, the Alkapod will alkalize and ionize your water although testing shows that the H2Go produces stronger water. Also, Alkapod's filters are in the cap and at the bottom of the unit. While it will reduce chlorine, the water added to your Alkapod does not pass through a filter.

To use the Alkapod you pour water into the container, attach the cap and shake. Between the agitation of the shaking and the mineral elements in the filters, the water's pH is raised and a negative charge is created. Filtration occurs as the water comes in contact with the filter media while you are shaking the water. You may need to wait a few minutes before the water is fully charged.

The filter in the cap can be replaced however the filter at the bottom of the Alkapod is fused in place. It will always stay right there, there's no way to change it.

Testing of the Alkapod with pH and ORP meters has shown that it is capable of turning tap water into alkaline ionized water with a pH of up to 9.7 and an ORP of up to -250. This is after shaking for 60 seconds and waiting another four or five minutes.

ALL CHAPTERS OF "FOR SOMETHING GREATER" IN MY BIO

The trip felt longer than it was supposed to be. It was probably because it was a relatively more silent flight than usual, though Woods and Harris were still bickering like children. But aside from that, you only engaged in conversations with your team from time to time. The Winter Soldier’s eyes lingered on you, and it was almost impossible to ignore. In his gaze was not judgement, that you would’ve anticipated, but instead it was more a look of curiousity and amazement, maybe even borderline respect.

You stole glances at him to watch his movements, his behaviour. You studied his weapon. The rifle was a familiar model, an M249 SAW. You had fired it a few times. It was a convinient model, even resembling some functions of a machine gun. But you found it odd that he would choose that type of firearm, considering he had been a sniper in 1945. Choosing a rifle that leaned more towards a machine gun than a sniper made him seem more messy. Despite that, you knew not to judge him based off the firearm he used. He was not only a supersoldier, but a highly trained stealth operative as well. He would be as deadly with a baseball bat as he is with a gun. The only other weapon you saw was a sheathed knife on his thigh. You didn’t recognize it as any type of US military knives. You had your suspicions that it was made of vibranium, like his arm. Wakanda gave him a practically indestructable arm, and why stop there? Why not give him an indestructable knife, too?

Either way, it was a completely different model from your Ontario MK3 Navy Knife, which was mostly used for self-defense and protection. The size and shape of his knife, however, suggested that it was intended for a more brutal purpose, perhaps a clean, silent kill.

Those were all his weapons. No grenades, no glocks. If he were a normal human being, it would seem like he came unprepared, but he was not normal, and that could be proven in his blood and in his kill record.

A kill record that rivaled yours.

When the cargo plane reached cruising altitude of 800 feet, you stood up, and the Winter Soldier and your team did the same. “We know our mission. Get in, get the hostages, get out. But since it’s Hydra, treat this like an assault mission,” you said, “Sergeant Barnes is familiar with the general structure of a Hydra base, so he will lead us into the compound, but you still take orders from me. Hydra will jam long range radio transmissions. We only have short ranged ones to communicate with each other. We’re in this alone, and we can’t call for back up if anything goes south, so make sure nothing goes south. Are we clear?”

“Yes, Commander!” the boys said in unison.

With that, you each strapped in a static parachute. The hatch opened, and you jumped from the plane.

It was a habit by now, but you never got tired of it. It was in the middle of the night, the wind was in your favor. You stepped out of the plane, a thrilling smile on your face, a smile that distracted you from all the blood in your hands, that reminded you why you loved this job.

You had been dropped at a forest near the Transian mountain range, where the Hydra base is located. You were only several miles away from Serbia.

The trees gave you the perfect cover. You quickly regrouped and started a hike to the exact coordinates of the Hydra base.

For amateurs, the hike would have been five hours long, at least. But with the training your team had gone through and the Winter Soldier there, it would only take three hours, max.

Within two and a half hours, you had visual on the warehouse. Your team hid behind fallen timber.

You’ve gotta be honest, to the naked eye, the ‘base’ wasn’t exactly impressive. It just looked like an old warehouse made of rusted metal. It didn’t look threatening at all. It didn’t even have a fence around it.

“You can’t be serious,” Lawson scoffed, a smile forming on his face, “this is supposed to be a nazi terrorist facility? I’ve seen small rebel bases more threatening that this shit show.”

Barnes, however, studied the warehouse instensely, “Don’t underestimate them,” he warned, and in his voice was a cold, terrifying certainty.

You adjusted your goggles to zoom in on the base.

“What do you see?” Jones asked, a splinter of nervousness mixed with hope cracking in his voice.

Jones saw the base as Lawson did, a sorry excuse for an organization that at one point had almost had total control of the world. He thought there wouldn’t be a fight. He thought this would be an easy in and out mission. But you had a feeling Barnes was right, judging from his cold reaction.

“Not much,” you admitted, “I only count seven security guards patrolling the warehouse.”

Barnes decided to split the group into two teams. The first team would draw fire to the patroling guards, while the other one would enter the facility undetected.

The first team, the team that would cause a diversion, consisted of the better skilled and experienced marksmen in your team, McCoy, Miller, and Woods. They took cover behind a boulder, preparing to fire upon order.

The rest of the team, you, Barnes, Harris, Lawson, and Jones circled the perimeter to prepare to enter from the weakest entry point, the back door.

“Status?” You called to the diversion team via short range radio.

“Ready to fire on your order, commander,” Woods answered.

You looked to Barnes. He gave you a slight nod. You waited a heartbeat before you said through the radio, “Fire.”

In an instant, you heard chaos break out on the other side of the building. Without a doubt, the guard stationed on the back door left to help defend the front door.

That was a foolish move, and it proved that these men were untrained and inexperienced.

“On me,” Barnes led your team inside.

“Watch our six,” you told Jones. He nodded in response.

Barnes opened the door and… the warehouse was absolutely empty, except for two people in dressed in black, brown sacks over their heads, handcuffed to a chair in the center of the warehouse.

Could those be the missing CIA agents?

The team sweeped the room, and found nothing, but still stayed a safe distance from the people in the center of the room

“Help us,” a hoarse male voice from under the sack said weakly upon hearing footsteps, “we’ve been held hostage for weeks.”

The voice was American.

“They’re the agents!” Jones concluded, relief in his voice. Jones laid his firearm down, and quickly moved to the center of the room when you realized that those two people were wearing explosive belts.

Your eyes widened.

“Get down!” Barnes barked the order as he realized what was going on.

“No!” You didnt think twice. You moved towards Jones, trying to shield him from the explosion.

It exploded. You were thrown back by the impact, a shrapnel from the bomb embedding itself in your shoulder.

You struggled to get up, you vision blurry. “Oliver!” You struggled to scream, trying to get up as searing pain roared through your body.

You laid down, face up. You tried to look for the source of pain and saw a piece of metal deep inside your left shoulder.

You saw flash of metal, as the Winter Soldier rushed towards you, applying pressure on the sides of your wound.

“Oliver J-Jones,” you said faintly, “T-the kid, is he o-okay?” You struggled.

Barnes grunted and cursed, but he avoided the question.

You gathered all of you strength, “B-Barnes! I-is the kid okay?”

Collecting your consciousness and your common sense, you realized, Jones couldn’t have made it. He was too close.

You realized it, but that didn’t mean that you had accepted it. With whatever’s left of your energy, you thrashed under Bucky’s arm, “J-Jones! Where is he?”

“Hold still,” Bucky ordered, “You’re bleeding out!”

No.

No, this couldn’t be happening.

He was young. He was a kid. He was your responsibility.

His death was on you.

His blood is on your hands.

No.

“Get her to the ORP, she needs blood transfusion immediately,” Barnes said, and that was the last thing you heard before the world faded into black.

-

Your team rushed you to the ORP, and you were still unconscious.

“She’s losing blood,” Woods said to the medical officers. One of the officers nodded and scanned your suit for a dog tag. She found it in one of your utility pockets.

The dog tags contained your blood type, but when the medical officer saw it, her face grew pessimistic.

“What’s wrong?” Woods asked.

“She’s O negative,” she mentioned, “it’s one of the rarest blood type in the world, and is not compatible with any other blood type. It would clot. We don’t have a supply here.”

“Then transport her, dammit!” Woods shouted frantically.

“She wont make the trip,” she explained.

“I’m O negative,” a deep voice said, and it belonged to the Winter Soldier as he entered the room.

The medical officer stuttered, “B-but you’re a super soldier, we don’t know the effects-”

“So what? We’re just gonna leave her here to die?” Barnes asked inscredulously, “Look, I’m your best shot at saving her.”

The officer looked at her colleagues. She nodded, “It’s worth a try.”

“Wait,” Miller intervened, “Just how experimental is this?”

“Very,” the medical officer almost visibly shuddered, “There’s no telling what the side effects are, if there are any, or if she will survive the transfusion at all.”

“Then maybe we should run diagnostics first,” Miller suggested.

“There’s no time for that!” Lawson growled, visibly distressed.

“But this treatment might kill her!” Miller said.

“Yes, this might kill her, but not doing anything will kill her,” Lawson sneered, “I just lost my teammate. I’m not going to lose my commander, too.”

The whole room fell silent.

They hadn’t had the time to grieve. They hadn’t had time to process the young SEAL’s death, and this was the first time anyone had talked about Jones as a deceased man.

The medical officer told her colleague, “prep her for surgery.”
