The term structured water appears in early 20th Century writings referencing Victor Schauberger as an observer of moving natural water such as a stream increasing the viability of water in plants and humans and Albert Szent-Gyorgyi a physicist and chemist who early on postulated (accurately as recently
proven) water with a liquid crystalline structure enhanced by light (photon) energy. Other scientists and keen observers by the dozens realized that such water felt smoother, made plants flourish and produce larger and higher quality yields.
The definition of exactly what this special water consisted of was not pursued as much as means to take standard tap water and replicate natures effects on it by utilizing vortexes, crystals of various minerals, magnetic fields, the Golden (Fibonacci) Ratio, egg shaped glass vessels, colored lights, acoustic waves, etc.. Nothing harmful being done but the true process and the definition was missed entirely.
In 2013 a brilliant and of equal importance an unconventionally inquisitive biomedical engineering professor at the University of Washington named Dr. Gerald H. Pollack published The Fourth Phase Of Water. The book is a summary of years of study and scientific testing on an unusual phase of water that we are convinced is the long sought structure of water. This water occurs naturally in limited quantities in the right environment simply by the action of photons as supplied by sunlight and infrared energy.
This water consists of a hexagonal shaped array of water (H2O) molecules occupying a plane. During its production some hydrogen (H+) ions are displaced so that additional hex planes of water molecules can stack upon one another with every other plane being horizontally slightly offset so that the planes
ionically bond to one another as the stack grows. The longer the stack (structure) grows and the more stacks there are the higher the percentage of structured water. The missing hydrogen (H+) from the structured columns ends up in the surrounding water where it combines with H2O to form H3O
(hydronium). The removal of hydrogen slightly raises the pH of the structures and increases the oxygen percentage. Additionally, the structures become more dense (increased specific gravity) than regular water and because of the plane to plane bonding and quite probably stack to stack bonding also the
viscosity increases. Summed up, structured water is denser (more of it in a drop), more viscous (said to be more like intercellular water), richer in oxygen percentage, increased surface tension and a naturally raised pH.
Producing this water actually consists of giving nature a boost. The first thing to accomplish is to reduce the TDS as much as possible because the presence of dissolved solids disrupts structural formation. So a reverse osmosis unit preferably with a TDS polishing filter is the starting point. Added should be vortexes
for memory erasure, crystals for imparting frequencies and magnetic fields constructed to the Golden Ratio. This preparatory water is placed into pressurized storage until water is withdrawn from the RO faucet. On its way to the faucet the water passes through the Patent Pend. STRUCTURED WATER CELL. To convert the RO water to structured water requires exposing the water in sheets on super hydrophillisity surfaces. The water on the surface must maintain a contact angle of near zero. Infrared energy at 850nm wave length produced by multiple LED emitters is applied and is aided with titanium dioxide reflective surfaces to maximize structural growth. The energy source (less than 5 watts) is always on, so there is a large buildup of structured water between uses of water. The process works in the absence of power input, but more slowly utilizing ever present infrared energy only. Data is incomplete on how long the structures maintain their integrity, so consumption is recommended as soon as possible.
Virtually all products currently being offered primarily on line include everything from modified food blenders to blown glass funnels to cylinders containing plastic balls. Efficacy of structured water production is claimed based on its feel, smoothness, wetness, etc. All good but nothing measurable offered. The science behind our system is based on actual measurements of surface tension using the Du Nouy ring method with a tensiometer, density measurement by isothermal weight/ volume comparisons and viscosity by the falling ball technique as related to Stokes Law. Capillary rise techniques using meniscus shape and level changes are avoided because recent studies question their validity.
In 2018 we embarked on a program to determine precisely what structured water truly consists of. People were spending obscene amounts on bizarre devices consisting of such things as revised food blenders, twisted strips of copper or stainless steel, tubes loaded with HDPE spheres, and glass cones with a water pump to name a few. Along with unsupportable high prices, two other common attributes the product providers offered were slick literature and a spokesperson with a questionable curricula vitae. Not a feasible description of the structure of the water in any of them.
A suggestion from a long-term customer led us to The Fourth Stage of Water by Dr. Gerald H. Pollack, Ph.D. The book, published in 2013, detailed a structure of water discovered by Dr. Pollack and his laboratory colleagues at the University of Washington. It went on to describe the benefits of this water structure to plant and animal (human) life.
We designed a system to replicate and enhance the effects detailed in the book’s laboratory reports and we went on to describe how the structuring process created columns of water adjacent to one another. Quite by accident, on April 10, 2022, the president of our company received the photo viewed here that definitely confirms the structural formation of water locked in ice. The photo date is unknown but taken in Switzerland in an area known for clear water and large ice crystals.
We have all heard the cautionary statement “what could possibly go wrong here?” This usually applies to seeing someone standing on the top rung of a ladder, shaving while driving, or repairing an electrical device near a body of water, but not always. I have always had concerns about hack-prone remote control of everything from home appliances, home security systems, and even automobiles. Even worse would be control over the electrical grid or, heaven forbid, a public water system. The latter happened the week of Feb. 7, 2021, in Oldsmar, FL according to a report in today’s edition of Industrial Equipment News.
According to the article, a hacker took control of the chemical treatment process and released excess amounts of sodium hydroxide into the water supply. In properly controlled levels, this chemical is common and harmless and used to raise the water pH to prevent corrosion of the pipes in the distribution system. High levels are toxic and damaging to tissue. Fortunately, a utility employee was viewing the facility online, noticed what was occurring, and blocked his/her efforts.
Had the employee’s attention been diverted or delayed, this could have been a disaster. Chances are this particular chemical would be noticed by taste or odor at points of use and consumer use minimized. Had it been a different chemical such as a fluoride compound frequently introduced in municipal water supplies, significant human damage could have occurred.
This scenario will probably be repeated more and more frequently as utilities rely heavily on remote control and monitoring to keep labor costs low and give the appearance of being technologically advanced.
What to do? There’s no substitute for adding a layer of protection in your home — namely, an under-counter reverse osmosis system to provide much safer drinking and cooking water in your home. Properly installed and maintained, these units last for many years, provide peace-of-mind and safe water.
We offer multiple reverse osmosis systems. All provide extra safety with efficient water use and upscale systems can add ultra-high water use efficiency, alkalinity addition, remineralizing, structured water, crystals, etc., etc.
In a previous blog, I indicated the apparent lack of a university or government published a study on the efficacy of using irrigation water exposed to a magnetic field for improved crop yields and/or the reduced amount of water required. Such studies regarding magnetic water treatment do exist.
In a controlled test by the University of Western Sydney Australia, Richmond Campus conducted in 2007 and 2008 showed a comparative crop yield increase of 23% while simultaneously reducing water use by 24% on 3,000 PPM (5.8 ms/m electrical conductivity) water. The crop was a high water requiring celery and the dates coincided with terrible drought conditions in Australia. Duplicate tests were run on tap water, recycled wastewater, and water with TDS values of 500, 1000, and 1500 PPM. The TDS values were closely controlled and monitored after injection of sodium chloride – salt. Of particular interest was the test yields and water use reduction were better the higher the TDS and the resulting water conductivity.
Looking at a section of pipe with relatively high conductivity water going through it and surrounded by an axially oriented north-south field should remind us of a wire exposed to a moving magnetic field i.e. a simple generator putting out an alternating electrical current similar in principle to the early days of Tesla and Westinghouse in their contest with Edison.
Other than empirical results on effectiveness, there seems to be little or no information on why it works. Studies on human cells (and can they be correlated to plant cells) conducted by Dr. William Pawluk, MD, MS (not to be confused with Gerald H. Pollack, Ph.D. whom we often quote in our structured water documents) point to improved cell cleansing and nutrition when water that is treated by magnetic water treatment is provided to either the body or the drinking water. He refers to the magnetic energy imparted as PEMF or pulsating electromagnetic forces. His online information is quite convincing as are his educational and experience credentials.
Magnetic water treatment is provided by the following Dime Water products:
- ESF
- ESF PLUS
- Maxi-Cure
- Maxi-Cure PLUS
- AQUAFER – Treated water for less than $1 a day.
- AQUAFER PLUS
For over 20 years, Dime Water has been constructing nonchemical water treatment equipment. We have utilized very powerful Neodymium rare earth magnets to cause particles in the water to cling to one another (agglomerate) for particle life extension or filtration. I have personally dismissed the thought that a magnetic field could, in addition, react on the water itself. I believe that I have been in error.
Magnetized Water Testing
A recent summary of tests conducted to determine patient benefits for diabetes control related to drinking water exposed to a strong magnetic field or “magnetized water” showed positive results. Albeit animal studies under close clinical controls, such research often finds its way into what we call mainstream or western medicine and pharmacology. The summary states “it is suggested that the long-term intake of magnetized water over 8 weeks may be beneficial in both prevention and treatment of complications in diabetic patients”.
The study can be found online at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PCM3572224/
Magnetism apparently acts as an antioxidant and further in the report improvements to liver function and oral health are mentioned as are hexagonal structure clusters of water molecules.
Magnetic Water Usage
Magnetic fields have been used for decades in countries such as Russia to accelerate wound and burn healing via increased blood flow. This is intuitively understandable given the iron prevalence in human blood. The FDA has now approved devices for such uses and their benefits. The phenomenon of magnetized water has been promoted for many years for enhancement of irrigation water with claims for increased crop yields, larger plants, and less water required. Empirical data support the claims, but controlled tests are scarce.
For reference the following Dime Water products contain strong magnetic fields that plausibly have these additional consumer benefits:
- ESF
- ESF PLUS
- AQUAFER – Treated water for less than $1 a day.
- AQUAFER-AC
- AQUAFER PLUS
- MAXI-CURE
- MAXI-CURE PLUS
- STRUCTURED WATER R.0.
More and more frequently we see engineering input taking place in the medical field from robotic surgical machines to placing magnetically guided medicine filled vessels placed in the bloodstream to continually sending patient health status to a computer armed with Artificial Intelligence. Recently our company received a patent status for a system to treat water for Hemodialysis units.
In the last few years, we have applied our engineering skills to obtaining more healthful food. The sayings are “you are what you eat” and “food is medicine”. With an ever-growing percentage of people realizing this and putting family health into their own hands by growing their own nutritious vegetables in home gardens. We are aware of this and offer two products to make these foods even better. They are our GUARD’N GROW and ESF.
The GUARD’N GROW unit truly guards and improves plants. All edible plants deliver vitamins and minerals through consumption. These nutrients get into the plant via water. An important step in the process involves the minerals converting from their inorganic to organic forms making them more bioavailable to the plant and ultimately to the consumer. This is accomplished by the reaction of the nutrients in the soil with a host of living organisms also in the soil. Kill these organisms and both the plant and the consumer are robbed of nutrition. If watered with water containing chlorine which is found in 99% of municipal supplies, a percentage of the organisms dies with each watering. The GUARD’N GROW removes this damaging chlorine PLUS it removes trace heavy metals that could find their way into the food PLUS it acts as a biocide to kill unwanted bacteria in the source water. NOTHING is added to the water. This is a hose-end product that will treat up to 25,000 gallons. Refills and commercial systems are available.
As mentioned, water is the vehicle to get nutrients into the plant. The easier we make it for a plant to absorb the water, the more robust and nutritious the plant becomes. This can be accomplished by passing the water through our ESF unit. The ESF reduces the surface tension of water allowing it to travel more deeply and effectively into a plant. This is done via a catalytic/magnetic process that has no moving parts, no replacement cartridges and has a demonstrated service free life of over 20 years.
Never ones to stop improving and inventing, we are developing yet another product to enhance garden plants for greater size and nutrition. It will provide STRUCTURED WATER.
For over a century people knowledgeable about water and its critical importance to health and longevity have sought the perfect water which was referred to as STRUCTURED WATER. It can now be produced in homes or offices thanks to scientific work at the University of Washington and work done in Dime Water’s laboratory. It is a truly natural process of incorporating special surface areas, inert hyper hydrophilicity materials, infrared energy and multiple vortices. Nothing is added to the water.
This results in columns of hexagonal arrayed water molecules which are denser than untreated water, more viscous, have less hydrogen and a slightly elevated pH.
Some experiments indicate Structured Water replicates intercellular water closely thus being more bio-compatible. The model SW105 STRUCTURED WATER cell is shown here attached to the side of an under the sink kitchen cupboard and being fed by cold water from a supply valve that we in-clude. The treated water out of the top goes to a drinking/cooking water faucet mounted on or adjacent to the sink. The small (6 watt) power supply enhances the infrared energy. The compact size of 8”H x 6”W x 5”D permits installation in virtually all applications. Structured water on tap 24/7. No maintenance or replacement cartridges ever. For an approximately 25% improvement in quality add this cell to the faucet line from an existing under counter reverse osmosis unit.
The ultimate in treated drinking water is available in our compact under counter system Model Structured Water Cell R.O. This unit provides up to 100 gallons daily of treated water. 75% water efficiency (3 gal treated:1 gallon drain).
