JJJee FAQ

Why are other strong alkaline waters corrosive, but JJJee® isn't?

JJJee® is not corrosive because its unique production process avoids the direct addition of potassium carbonate or other minerals to the water. This eliminates the introduction of impurities and mineral imbalances that often contribute to corrosiveness in other strong alkaline waters.
By maintaining a pure electrolytic solution without any added minerals, JJJee® achieves high alkalinity without compromising its gentleness on various materials. The consistent ion levels also help maintain a stable pH, further reducing the potential for corrosive reactions.
In essence, JJJee®'s unique approach prioritizes both alkalinity and purity, resulting in a pure strong alkaline water that's effective for cleaning and other applications without being harsh or corrosive.

What is the disinfectant properties of strong alkaline water?

Strong alkaline water, typically with a pH of 12.5 or higher, possesses certain disinfectant properties due to its high alkalinity and the presence of reactive oxygen species. Here's how it works:

1. High pH Disrupts Cellular Processes: The high pH creates an environment that is hostile to many microorganisms. It can disrupt their cell membranes, interfere with their internal pH balance, and denature their proteins, leading to cell death.

2. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS): The electrolysis process used to produce strong alkaline water can generate reactive oxygen species like hydroxyl radicals. These highly reactive molecules can damage the cell walls, DNA, and other vital components of microorganisms, leading to their inactivation or death.

3. Saponification of Lipids: The strong alkaline solution can also react with lipids (fats) present in the cell membranes of some microorganisms, causing them to break down and compromise the cell's integrity.

why strong alkaline water can remove odor?

Strong alkaline water's ability to remove odors is mainly due to its high pH and its ability to break down certain odor-causing molecules. Here's how it works:

1. Neutralization of Acids: Many unpleasant odors, like those from sweat, urine, or spoiled food, are caused by acidic compounds. The Strong alkaline water with a pH of 12.5 or higher effectively neutralizes these acidic molecules, thus reducing or eliminating the odor.

2. Breakdown of Organic Matter: Strong alkaline water can also break down certain organic matter, such as proteins and fats, which can be a source of odor. This breakdown process converts these substances into simpler, less odorous compounds.

3. Emulsification of Oils and Fats: Some odors are caused by oily or greasy substances. Strong alkaline water can emulsify these substances, meaning it breaks them down into smaller droplets that can be easily washed away, taking the odor with them.

4. Disinfection: Strong alkaline water also has some disinfectant properties. It can kill certain bacteria and other microorganisms that contribute to odor.

Overall, the combination of these properties allows strong alkaline water to effectively neutralize, break down, and remove various odor-causing substances, leaving surfaces and fabrics smelling fresh and clean.

Why is strong alkaline water so powerful for cleaning? It effectively disperses dust and particles and emulsifies fats.

1. High pH and Surface Tension Reduction: Strong alkaline water with a pH of 12.5 or higher exhibits significantly reduced surface tension compared to ordinary water. This lower surface tension enhances its ability to spread across and penetrate various surfaces, including those of dust particles.

2. Attraction and encapsulation: JJJee® Strong alkaline electrolyzed water, rich in potassium ions, exhibits a superior ability to surround and encapsulate dust particles. This is primarily facilitated by the reduced surface tension, which allows the water to effectively capture and lift dust particles, aiding in their removal.

3. Dissolving and Breaking Down: Strong alkaline water can dissolve some types of dust particles and break down the bonds that hold others together, making them easier to remove and less likely to re-adhere to surfaces.

4. Emulsification: The alkaline water can also emulsify oily or greasy substances often found in dust, further aiding in their removal.

    

Overall, the combination of these properties allows strong alkaline water to effectively disperse and remove dust and particles from surfaces, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment.

why sometimes I cough when using strong alkaline water?

In a dusty environment, the dispersion of dust and particles caused by the strong alkaline water could contribute to coughing.

1. Increased Airborne Particles: When strong alkaline water is sprayed, it can break down larger dust and dirt particles into smaller, lighter ones. These smaller particles are more easily aerosolized and can become airborne, making them more likely to be inhaled.

2. Irritation of the Airways: Even if the strong alkaline water itself isn't directly irritating to your lungs, the increased presence of airborne particles can irritate your airways, triggering a cough reflex.

Therefore, it's important to take precautions when using strong alkaline water in dusty environments:
-Ensure good ventilation: Use the product in well-ventilated areas to minimize the concentration of airborne particles.
-Wear a mask: Consider wearing a mask, especially if you are sensitive to dust or if the area is particularly dusty.
-Avoid spraying near your face: Be mindful of your spray direction to avoid inhaling any mist or dispersed particles.

By taking these precautions, you can minimize the risk of coughing or other respiratory irritation while still benefiting from the cleaning power of strong alkaline water.
