What to Expect when Drinking Ionized Water
This is a great article I found written by Bob McCauley on what to expect when you first begin drinking ionized water. It’s a bit long, but hang in there – the info is first rate. Enjoy, and if you have further questions, please write to me!
Living Water: What to Expect from Drinking Ionized Water
The first thing that Ionized Water does to the body when a person begins drinking
it is flush out the digestive tract, which is the best place for detoxification to start.
This cleansing alone will significantly improve your potential for better health.
The body cannot take in nutrients if the digestive tract is not clean. Enzymes
continue their chemical attack on the food to break it down throughout the
digestive process until it is small enough to pass through the lining of the small
intestine and into the blood. Once there, the nutrients are carried away to the
liver and other body parts to be processed, stored and distributed. None of this
happens if the digestive tract is not clean of debris.
Detoxifying. Living on a cooked-food diet over a long period of time
creates a layer of mucous throughout the digestive tract known as mucoid
plaque, which deposits on the intestines where nutrients are absorbed into the
body. Mucoid plaque is a dark greenish substance that
has the consistency of rubber. As it becomes thicker
over the years we develop nutritional deficiencies even
though we eat three meals a day that we believe are healthy.
Our intestines become museums of partially digested, putrefying foods, drugs
and other toxins that have never found their way out of the body. The intestines
can swell to many times its size with only a pencil-size opening for feces to pass
through. Even though we may be overeating, we are starving ourselves under
these conditions because the body cannot absorb nutrients. Eating should never
be confused with health. Many parents believe that as long as their child is
eating, they are healthy and this certainly is not the case. All that matters when it
comes to health is what foods we put in our body, not the frequency or quantity.
Hydrating. If your small intestines are not clean and the actual lining wall
isn’t exposed, nutrients cannot get into the blood stream to be used by the body.
Ionized Water is a terrific cleanser of the digestive tract because of its small
water molecule clusters. It penetrates the mucoid plaque that is attached to the
intestinal lining helping to remove it; once the surface of the lining is clean, the
water then penetrates the lining itself to further cleanse and hydrate it so
nutrients can pass into the blood with greater ease. When this happens,
assimilation of nutrients to the body returns and the early stages of cellular
rejuvenation can begin. People comment how often they have to go to the bathroom when they first start drinking Ionized Water. This is because the water is cleansing your
digestive tract quite thoroughly. It will subside once your body becomes
accustomed to drinking Ionized Water.
Alkalizing. Drinking Ionized Water reduces the body’s acid level as it
balances the body’s overall pH, which is not measured through the blood, but
through the urine or saliva. However, raising the overall body pH will most likely
take some time. Acid waste does not accumulate throughout the body overnight
and it will not be flushed out overnight. Years of accumulated acid waste in the
joints, around the organs, in the brain and throughout the body takes months and
even years to completely expunge. As to how quickly you will rid the body of
acid waste will of course also depend on your diet.
Oxygenating. Consistently drinking Ionized Water increases blood
oxygen and energy levels. Oxygen sharpens alertness because the brain is
functioning closer to capacity when it is highly oxygenated. Oxygen is a nutrient
that can become saturated in the blood, but the body cannot store it. Thus it is
crucial that we constantly provide our bodies with a steady intake of oxygen.
This can be achieved with Ionized Water fresh out of the tap because that is
when it is at its greatest potential to provide the body with oxygen.
Oxygen carries nutrients around the body, provides us with energy, and
kills bacteria, viruses and even cancer cells. Millions of years ago the
atmosphere contained as much as 30% more oxygen than it does today. We
evolved in a richer oxygen environment than we find ourselves in today, thus our
need for oxygen is of great importance.
Antioxidant. The oxygen derived from Ionized Water arrives to the body
in the form of an extremely potent antioxidant that has an extra electron attached
to it and is known as a hydroxyl ion (OH-). It is produced when water is run over
positive and negative electrodes and there is a shift of electrons from one
molecule to another. This hydroxyl ion has an oxygen molecule that carries an
extra electron which is donated to a free radical in the body (See Appendix 4:
Free Radical Damage), therefore it is considered a free radical scavenger.i What
remains are two stable oxygen molecules and a higher blood oxygen level
instead of only one free radical that will cause damage.
Consuming Ionized Water bathes the interior of the body in a negatively
charged liquid, which promotes rejuvenation of each bodily system at a cellular level. All fresh raw foods also have a negative charge or ORP. Fresh squeezed orange juice carries a negative ORP of –50 to –300 ORP (mµ). The lower the negative number, the better it is for the body; the higher the positive number, the worse it is. On average, chlorinated city water has a positive +700 ORP, thus it is quite oxidizing and should never be consumed.
Anything that is being oxidized, or has the potential to oxidize another
substance, has a positive ORP. Our bodies are constantly being attacked by
oxidation in the form of free radicals; the older we are, the higher our body’s ORP
becomes. When we drink negatively charged substances such as Ionized Water,
this oxidation is retarded and our body’s cells are in a better position to
rejuvenate, or de-age, themselves.
Water has a low atomic weight (18) and when ionized through electrolysis,
it becomes the most absorbable antioxidant known. Essentially, we are
reversing the aging process. However, we do not become younger in
chronological years, which means that if we are 40 years old we do not become
20 again. Rather, we possess the body we had when we were in our twenties at
a cellular level. This means that the cells that make up my body are as active,
productive, communicative and functional as those I had when I was supposedly
in my prime and even potentially better. Thus, I have reversed my biological, not
chronological clock.
After you’ve been drinking Ionized Water for a while you will become much
more sensitive to whether or not you are actually dehydrated. For example, I
become aware that my body needs water after only an hour or so of not drinking
any water. Simply by keeping my body constantly hydrated, I am accomplishing
many things that are necessary to Achieve Great Health. Staying hydrated helps
stave off disease better than anything else we can possibly do for ourselves.
When we are hydrated our blood is never too thin or too thick because of the lack
of water or salt. We will not retain salt nor have high blood pressure when we
drink enough water. Our organs function optimally because they are not starved
for water, especially the kidneys. Like any muscle, regular use of the kidneys
only strengthens them. A common misconception is that drinking too much water
can overtax the kidneys. If you have weak kidneys from living on a cooked-food
diet, start by drinking weak Ionized Water (8.0 pH) then increase it slightly each
day. When we provide the body with real nutrients from raw foods and drink
enough water, weak kidneys can become powerful, flexing muscles once again,
the way they were meant to be. This is true of any muscle or organ in the body.
In the first few days of drinking Ionized Water you will not be able to
quench your thirst. This is because your body is crying out for something it has
rarely, if ever, experienced before: true hydration of its cells. The thirst
mechanism in your body has been turned on for the first time in years, perhaps
the first time in your life. We develop many ways to turn off our thirst or ignore it
completely with foods or liquids that couldn’t possibly hydrate us.
Everyone’s body has various degrees of toxicity, thus the effects of
Ionized Water on your body will be slightly different than everyone else. It will
depend on your historical and current diet, how much water you consume, how
much you exercise, how positive a person you are, how stressful your life is, how
much medicine you take now and in the past and how toxic you are. Regardless
of that, Ionized Water benefits everyone who consumes it. If you’re ready to get healthy, please visit: http://waterhealthnow.com/?ID=128&LinkID=83 right now!
What is Chloramine and Why is it in My Tap Water?
It’s amazing how good intentions can come out so wrong sometimes. And even though this good intention fixed an earlier problem, the result ends up being just as bad, if not worse, than it was before. And what’s really rotten, is no one owns up to the fact that the problem is worse.
So here’s what’s coming to, or is already in, your tap water now: Chloramine.
Chloramine: How is it used?
Free chlorine has been used for decades in municipal water treatment. It turns out that the combination of chlorine and certain organics in water can produce a new category of dangerous carcinogens called Disinfectant by-Products (DBP). After the serious adverse health effects of DBPs were discovered, the USEPA promulgated the Disinfectant By-Product Rule pertaining to the use of chlorine in drinking water.
To reduce the concentration of Disinfectant by-Products in drinking water, the water industry began to use chloramine (chlorine and ammonia). By reducing the amount of chlorine and replacing it with ammonia, DBP levels dropped. More and more municipalities across the US are transitioning to chloramine in an effort to comply with EPA standards.
What are the Health Effects?
Hospitals and kidney dialysis centers must be alerted when chloramine is used for water supply disinfection. Cases of chloramine-induced hemolytic anemia in patients have been reported when their dialysis water was not appropriately treated. Persons with liver or kidney disease and those with hereditary urea cycle disorders are at increased risk for ammonia toxicity from the consumption of chloraminated water and kidney dialysis patients cannot use chloraminated water in their dialysis machines because it will cause hemolytic anemia.
It has been found that chloraminated water vapor from showers, baths, hot tubs, dishwashers, and other household appliances contains volatilized chemicals that can be inhaled and cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Prolonged chloramine exposure can potentially damage lung mucosa, making the lungs more susceptible to allergens and infections. Some individual cases have reported light to severe skin reactions ranging from rashes, itching, chapping, cracking, flaking to blistering skin conditions and chloramine has been known to aggravate skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
Is There any Harm from Drinking Chloramines?
Unlike chlorine, chloramine does not rapidly dissipate on standing, nor does it dissipate by boiling. Drawbacks to the use of chloramine can include potential water quality problems (e.g., nitrification and corrosion) if the municipal or well water treatment process is not carefully controlled and the system’s operational practices are not appropriately adjusted for the new disinfectant.
While chloramination has been recommended by the EPA since the 1990s as a way to lower the level of carcinogenic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) created by chlorination, it has led to unintended consequences, in some cases making the water extremely toxic. Chloramine, like chlorine, are toxic to fish and amphibians at levels used for human drinking water.
How Do I Remove Chloramine from my Drinking Water?
The most effective way to economically reduce chloramine is through the use of specially designed carbon called Catalytic carbon. Catalytic carbon is found in specialized filters. Many outlets provide such filters and the prices range from $20 – the hundreds depending on what type of water filtration process you provide for yourself. Traditional Granular Activated Carbon is not totally effective at chloramine removal. Though an over the counter type of water filter may bring peace of mind, they do NOT screen out a significant portion of chloramine in the water.
IonWays is the first company in the ionizer industry to begin the manufacturing of internal pre-filters, specifically designed for US water quality, of which chloramines removal is at the top of the list. The Biostone Plus Filter combines multiple treatment barriers to ensure optimal performance and longevity for chloramine reduction.
Multi-Barrier Treatment
Incorporating 9 stages of treatment and a revolutionary water filter body design, the Biostone Plus is the perfect solution for areas (typically municipal treatment) where high level of chlorine and chloramine exist.
1. The Biostone Plus incorporates the amazing natural properties of hydraulics in its Vortex filter body design to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your filter.
2. Nine independent filtration stages are incorporated into the Biostone Plus, including specifically treated, highly activated carbon that is designed for maximum chlorine and chloramine reduction. Multiple sediment filters are put between the various stages to treat the suspended solids in water one micron or greater.
3. The industry standard in heavy metal reduction is used (IKDF) also does a great job at chlorine and chloramines reduction too and is an integral part of the Biostone Plus.
4. The Biostone Plus is manufactured in the US with NSF/WQA certified components.

Question: I have read on the Internet that it is not possible to create alkaline or acid water from pure water and that water that is pure enough to drink can’t be split into alkaline and acid components. Is this true?
Answer: As responsible scientists, we had the same skepticism when we first heard about alkaline water.
Therefore, the first thing we did was to purchase a water alkalinizer as well as an accurate electronic pH meter. We ran tap water with pH 7.1 from our home faucet into the device and found that the water coming out of the alkaline outlet had a pH of 9.5 (indicating very alkaline), while the water from the acid outlet measured pH 4.5 (indicating very acidic).
We repeated this experiment with a variety of tap waters obtaining alkaline outputs with a pH ranging from 9.5 to 9.9. It is true that “pure” or distilled water cannot be ionized. If you were to try to “split” distilled water, it would not work. Tap or spring water, however, has dissolved minerals in it. It’s the minerals in the water; primarily calcium, potassium and magnesium that allow water to be “split” by an electric current into alkaline, “electron-rich” (i.e., containing negatively charged ions that can engage in chemical reactions to provide electrons to positively charged free radicals) and acid, “electron-deficient” components. Individuals who say it is not possible to split tap or spring water are misinformed.
Question: One site on the Internet states “Ionized water is nothing more than sales fiction; the term is meaningless to chemists. Most water that is fit for drinking is too un-conductive to undergo significant electrolysis.”
Answer: The above statement is easily shown to be incorrect with a simple pH meter and an electrolysis machine. Most tap waters run through the machine produce highly alkaline water as measured by a pH meter.
Question: Since you advocate drinking alkaline water, why not simply mix something like sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) with water and drink that? There are, in fact, alkaline waters sold that are made by mixing water with bicarbonate. Wouldn’t that work as well and be much less expensive than a water alkalinizer?
Answer: There are more benefits to “alkaline water” than simply the alkalinity or pH. The most important feature of alkaline water produced by a water alkalinizer is its oxidation reduction potential (ORP). Water with a high negative ORP is of particular value in its ability to neutralize oxygen free radicals.
ORP can also be directly tested using an ORP sensor and meter. We have conducted these experiments as well. We found that water coming directly from the tap had an ORP of +290mV, while the water coming out of the water alkalinizer had a negative ORP. The more negative the ORP of a substance (that is, the higher its negative ORP), the more likely it is to engage in chemical reactions that donate electrons. These electrons are immediately available to engage in reactions that neutralize positively charged free radicals. This is the key benefit of water produced by a water alkalinizer that is not available by simply drinking water than has had some bicarb or other compounds dissolved in it to make it alkaline.
Although water mixed with bicarbonate is indeed alkaline, it does not have a negative ORP; rather it has a positive ORP, meaning that it is unable to neutralize dangerous oxygen free radicals. Alkaline water produced by running tap water through an electrolysis machine does have a high negative ORP, meaning that it does have the ability to neutralize oxygen free radicals. We have confirmed these ORP measurements through our direct tests.
Question: OK, why is it important to drink alkaline water with a high negative ORP?
Answer: All chemical reactions occur with the transfer of electrons. Negatively charged entities are said to be reducing agents, meaning they are relatively electron rich and are able to donate electrons, reducing the charge of the entity with which they react. Relatively electron-poor entities are referred to as oxidizing agents, meaning they tend to pull electrons away. Thus, each substance in our body may act as either an oxidizing or reducing agent.
However, not just any negatively charged ion will be able to engage in the specific chemical reactions needed to neutralize oxygen free radicals. The HCO3- (bicarbonate) ions in alkaline bicarb water do not have this potential, whereas the OH- and mineral-rich water coming from an electrolysis machine (from tap water) does have this potential. That is implied in the negative value of the “oxidation reduction potential.”
Free radicals are among the most damaging molecules in the body and are highly unstable molecules that are oxidizing agents and are electron deficient. They are a principal cause of damage and disease in the body. Oxygen free radicals contribute significantly to a broad variety of harmful conditions in the body ranging from life-threatening conditions such as heart disease, stroke and cancer, to less severe conditions such as sunburns, arthritis, cataracts, and many others. Free radicals MUST get electrons from somewhere and will steal them from whatever molecules are around, including normal, healthy tissues.
Damage to tissues results when free radicals strip these electrons from healthy cells. If the damage goes on unchecked, this will lead to disease. For example, the oxidation of LDL cholesterol particles in arterial walls by free radicals triggers an immune system response that results in atherosclerosis, the principal cause of heart disease. The negative ions in alkaline water from an electrolysis machine are a rich source of electrons that can be donated to these free radicals in the body, neutralizing them and stopping them from damaging healthy tissues.
Specifically, these ions have the potential to engage in the chemical reactions necessary to neutralize oxygen free radicals.
Vitamin C and E, grape seed extract and alpha lipoic acid, for example, are all powerful electron donors. The vegetable-rich diet we recommend is alkaline and helps donate electrons to the body. Alkaline, electron-rich water falls in the same category. It can help with your body’s need for electrons to counteract free radicals.
Interestingly, we also tested vegetable juice with the ORP meter and found that it also has a high negative ORP, meaning that it is able to neutralize oxygen free radicals. So at least one of the important benefits of eating vegetables can be obtained from drinking the high negative ORP alkaline water from an electrolysis machine.
Another benefit of drinking alkaline water is that it assists in the absorption of minerals. We know that if the body is not absorbing enough minerals, it will rob minerals from the body’s mineral reserves, chiefly calcium from the bones.
It is well known that many chronic diseases result in excess acidity of the body (metabolic acidosis). We also know that the body tends to become more acidic due to modern dietary habits and lifestyles and the aging process itself. By drinking high negative ORP alkaline water, you combat metabolic acidosis and improve absorption of nutrients.
The blood is carefully buffered to keep it in a narrow range between pH 7.35 to 7.45. The body keeps blood pH stable by utilizing alkaline buffers, chiefly bicarbonate, to neutralize acidic liquids (such as colas, which have a pH as low as 2.5) and other acidic products and byproducts.
But as the blood stream receives these acidic substances, the alkaline buffers get used up.
Drinking alkaline water helps reduce the burden on the limited alkaline buffers which are needed for the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Question: Is there research that actually shows the benefits of drinking alkaline water?
Answer: A number of studies are summarized below. One study described below suggests that alkaline water encourages “friendly” anaerobic microflora in the human intestinal tract, and discourages “unfriendly” aerobic organisms. The researcher (see Vorobjeva NV below) writes:
“Many diseases of the intestine are due to a disturbance in the balance of the microorganisms inhabiting the gut. The treatment of such diseases involves the restoration of the quantity and/or balance of residential microflora in the intestinal tract. It is known that aerobes and anaerobes grow at different oxidation-reduction potentials (ORP). The former require positive E(h) values up to +400 mV. Anaerobes do not grow unless the E(h) value is negative between -300 and -400 mV. In this work, it is suggested that prerequisite for the recovery and maintenance of obligatory anaerobic microflora in the intestinal tract is a negative ORP value of the intestinal milieu. Electrolyzed reducing water with E(h) values between 0 and -300 mV produced in electrolysis devices possesses this property. Drinking such water favours the growth of residential microflora in the gut. A sufficient array of data confirms this idea.”
Dr. Grossman has also had many of his patients report of health benefits they have experienced from drinking alkaline electron-rich water.
Question: How can alkaline water with a pH of 9 or 10 be expected to affect the body when the pH of the stomach is 2 or less?
Answer: It is important to remember that large amounts of hydrochloric acid are present in the stomach primarily when food is there. There is only a small amount of acid in stomach when it is empty, and this can be easily overcome when alkaline electron-rich water is consumed.
Therefore, in order to gain maximum benefit, we recommend drinking alkaline water in-between meals. Water consumed between meals will very quickly pass through the stomach and the GI tract.
Aging and Reverse Aging
Life is precious. But many of us take it for granted that we’re going to live long, healthy lives. Unfortunately, depending on your lifestyle, the aging process begins to catch up with you sometimes a bit sooner than you’d like. Many people begin to feel a little arthritis setting in, maybe some lower back pain, etc, etc… Before you know it, life just doesn’t seem fun anymore due to some sort of pain or illness.
Here is what occurs in the aging process and more importantly, here’s how we can substantially slow it down.
Every living cell in our body creates waste product. Nutrients from our food is delivered to our cells and the cells, in combination with oxygen, burn these nutrients to produce energy for us to live. In exchange for energy, these burned off nutrients become waste product. The way we know that food is either good or bad for you is by the quantity and quality of waste product that is generated.
On a typical pH chart, the scale usually runs from 3.0 – 11.0 pH, with 7.0 pH being neutral. Anything under 7.0 is considered acidic; anything over 7.0 is considered alkaline. All waste product is acidic. Because our artery bloodstream value is slightly alkaline at 7.365 and must remain so to remain healthy, all waste product must be expelled from our blood and bodies.
Aging process, simply defined, is the accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes within our bodies. If the body is not able to expel 100% of waste product, the body will protect itself by storing this waste somewhere. Where does it go? It becomes solid waste material such as cholesterol, fatty acid, uric acid, kidney stones, urates, phosphates, sulphates and plaque build-up on artery and digestive walls. All of this build-up is acidic, toxic and the more that is accumulated, the more prone you become to sickness and disease.
Chemically speaking; knowing that acid dissolves alkaline build-up and alkaline dissolves acidic build-up, it stands to reason that drinking alkaline, ionized water (if consumed regularly) will gradually and substantially reduce the amount of accumulated, built-up acidic waste stored in your body. Also, since the accumulation of acid waste is aging, the reduction of acid waste may be considered reverse aging.
Water ionizers have been available in Japan and South Korea now for over 30 years. It is reported that one in every 5 homes in Japan has an ionizer (it’s 1 in 10 in South Korea) and many believe this is a major reason Japan is consistently ranked in the top 5 countries for longevity. Water ionizers that produce alkaline, ionized water are even considered to be medical devices by the Japanese government.
Though water ionizer technology has been around this long in Asia, it was only introduced into the United States roughly about 10 years ago. Fortunately for us here in the West, a few new companies have come along to help spread the word on the health benefits of drinking this water. Though drinking alkaline, ionized water is not officially considered to be a medicinal cure for treating any disease, there are many reports of natural health improvement of all sorts of ailments by those who drink it.
Becoming ill often and aging prematurely is a terrible way to go through life. Do something about it now by visiting my website and I’ll help educate you on one of the most crucial links to staying healthy – water. Put your name and email into the boxes and I’ll begin sending you free and concise information to help you make a positive, exciting and educated decision on how to help improve the quality of your life.
Ionized Water Machines – What are they? What do they do?
“What is it?” I asked. “It’s a water ionizer,” was the reply. “What the heck is a water ionizer and why are they showing this thing to me?”
That was me two years ago being introduced to something called a water ionizer after telling my friend about my aching back. He said, “Your back hurts? Drink some of this water!” He then explained, a water ionizer is a machine that 1) purifies tap water, 2) alkalizes the water, and 3) ionizes the water. Ok, the purification part I get, but why is drinking alkaline water and ionized water so important? I’ve since found out it’s exactly what our bodies are meant to have to remain healthy.
Ever heard of the magical healing waters of Tlacote, Mexico; Nordenau, Germany; or Nadana village, India? If you have then you’ll know that between 5,000 to 10,000 people, come from as far as Russia to go and stand in a daily queue for their share of this so-called healing water, as the water is claimed to cure anything from cancer to obesity. Whilst in Germany, scientific tests were carried out on Nordenau’s water and proved that 30% of people with ailments who consumed the water were totally healed, and 28% saw a marked improvement in their condition.
According to their research, one major conclusion was the healing power of the water came down to a simple property; the Negative Hydrogen Ion (OH-).
The negative hydrogen ion seems to be a powerful life-sustaining “antioxidant”. It is found in natural raw foods and ancient water sources such as glacial water run-offs, particular wells, springs and lakes. What’s special about water ionizers is they match the properties of natural occuring running water. That is, they match the natural water that is found – gushing down high-altitutde waterfalls from glaciers or mountains, where through velocity, gravity and violent impact, a natural ionization of the water occurs whilst absorbing minerals at the same time.
In a water ionizer, the water comes straight from the tap, is first purified through the unit’s filter(s) then goes through a process called electrolysis. Electrolysis is the process of running a single stream of water past two magnetically charged, electrified metal plates. This has the effect of splitting the single stream of water into two seperate, now chemically changed streams. That is, a normal H2O molecule is split into two individual, seperate molecules. An OH- (the “antioxidant”) molecule and an H+ (acidic “oxidizing”) molecule.
You may know, a “free-radical” is a molecule with an extra +charged ion. This extra +ion causes “oxidation”. Oxidation causes pre-mature aging. Think of an apple turning brown after it has been split open and exposed to the air. Or more basic, oxidation = rust. Most bottled waters out on the market have a +charged ion property to it. Therefore, if you drink a +charged water, you are in a sense, rusting (oxidizing) the inside of your body. The more oxidative (or “acidic”) your body, the more prone you are to disease and sickness.
Oppositely, by drinking a -charged water, the extra -ion goes in search of a +ion to latch onto to make itself a nuetral and natural molecule again and this “anti-oxidant”, -ion in turn has the effect of mitigating acidic (toxic) properties in your body. Since the anti-oxidant -ion mitages the premature aging effect an oxidant (+charged) ion has, many call ionized water anti-aging.
We’re all made out of water. Therefore, putting the right type of water into your body is essential to maintaing good and proper health. Using a ionized water machine, is one way to help keep your body as healthy as possible.
If you have a personal health challenge or know someone who does, I urge you to immediately begin research on ionized water and water ionizing machines. One great place to start is my website where you’ll learn the science behind the water, learn about the machines themselves and most importantly, learn about the health properties drinking ionized, alkaline water can have.
