I'm proud to blog for a brand that uses natural ingredients to clean stuff, but this electrolysis device is mighty interesting indeed. Great reviews on Amazon too :) thanks for sharing Wow, this is a pretty nifty technology.

However a little bit of research turned up <a href="http://www.chem1.com/CQ/ionbunk.html#EOW" rel="nofollow">Stephen Lower's debunking of their so called science</a>. Lower is a retired Professor of Physical Chemistry from Simon Fraser University, so while his HTML skills may look a little amateur, he has enough letters after his name to convince me that he knows what he's talking about. And what he's essentially saying is that it's mostly snake-oil. The "ionization" process the water undergoes creates a very very dilute bleach, so claims of being totally "chemical free" are actually bogus, it's just that the bleach is so diluted that it's pretty benign. He also explains where the reference to "technology for years in used in hospitals" fits into their equation -- they use similar technologies to create their own bleach, but in much larger quantities. So I think I'll be sticking to my old tap-water cleaning routine for now. I think it probably works just as well, but doesn't cost me $170 (plus electricity!) to use.
