STRUCTURED WATER 2026 UPDATE

HISTORY

We at Dime Water first released our version of a system to create Structured Water (SW) in June 2019.  It was conceived after reading and understanding of The Fourth Phase of Water a book by Dr. Gerald Pollack PhD summarizing years of laboratory experimentation by him and numerous assistants at the University of Washington.  Dr. Pollack has an extensive background in engineering as well as physiology and is currently a professor of bioengineering in their college of engineering and UW medicine.   The goal of his work appears to be purely academic curiosity with no commercial applications considered.

The unusual state of water observed in the university lab was given the name EZ (Exclusionary Zone) water by them and we chose Structured Water (SW) because this term has been used for almost 100 years by scientists and observers of extraordinary plant growth. 

DIME WATER DESIGN ADVANTAGES

 Our method of producing Structured Water very closely parallels the process outlined in the laboratory reports so water from the systems has been:

- volume measured

- thickness measured

- photographed 

- pH tested 

- viscosity tested 

- electricity producing properties tested and measured

- density tested.  

Production of the SW is accomplished in nature by spreading an extremely thin film of low TDS and low surface tension water on a water loving (hydrophilic) surface and exposing it to infrared energy.  Not unlike snow and ice melt water flowing over smooth rocks in a stream bed.  This probably explains why 19^th and early 20^th century observers of larger and higher quality vegetables watered by such sources thought the water to be better structured.  It was.  To make a product viable for home drinking, cooking and plant watering  water we developed a reverse osmosis based appliance that exposes clean, low TDS RO water to almost 450 square inches of hydrophilic surface area for a super thin film of water and then boost the infrared energy with LED based rays.  A complete replication of nature’s process available for the home, office, etc.

COMPETITIVE PROCESSES

There are many devices available for sale at exorbitantly high prices that purport to produce Structured Water, but we are unable to find any tests or measurements that validate their claims.  One is a magnetic field.  The measurable electrical energy produced in the water is due to Faraday’s law and is known to effect hydrogen bonds thus lowering clean water surface tension and altering the formation of some crystals.  No indication of SW formation.  Unfortunately, it works best on higher TDS water so counterproductive to clean drinking water.  Vortex devices are popular, but again, there’s no evidence or measurement of Structured Water.  

STRUCTURED WATER BENEFITS

Out of general interest, we did a dive into the technology of the highly advertised pain relief patches by Signal Patch and a lessor known KAILO to see if there was any tie in to water.  There is actually mention of EZ water (our description of structured water) because of its negative electrical charge.  Their base technology is to reroute electrical pain signals to the ether before they are sent to the brain by picking them up with their patented antenna imbedded in the patch and resending.  The pain application was found serendipitously by the original inventors.  This ultimately led us to Dr. Pollack’s most recent publications on the health benefits of structured water as well as reports offered by Science Direct and the NIH and ResearchGate.  Benefits of structured water include:

• Improved health of cells which has positive effects on our entire body
• Improved hydration 
• Improved elimination of waste
• Improved joint lubrication 
• Improved absorption of nutrients
• Improved cellular energy

 In addition to the benefits for humans and animals, plants also benefit from being watered with structured water.  A list of so far documented benefits include: 

• Improved plant growth and size 
• Improved tolerance to drought and pathogens
• Improved uptake of nutrients from the soil
• Improved soil moisture retention 
• Improved germination rates and time of emergence
• Improved use of water
