Heh. I saw this a couple of days ago and snorted quietly to myself. Ions, indeed. I might have expected Lisa to be the one to post about it.

They're making bleach on-site. And getting excited about it. [Roll Eyes]

I was actually about to post that link as soon as I saw the topic title.

If nothing else, that site gives a great breakdown of the chemistry that's going on.

The pool at my Y uses salt instead of chlorine. I don't know if they also have the machine going. They didn't mention that part. It does taste noticeably salty, though less so than the ocean. I love it! It doesn't burn your eyes and skin like chlorine. I hope more pools start using this system.

What a crock.

If sodium hydroxide and hypochlorous acid are combined in solution, they react to form sodium hypochloride -- more commonly known as chlorine bleach.

Irritating.

Wait, so the people in this article who are drinking the miracle cleaner are just drinking bleach?

The bleach would be highly diluted with water and a pinch of salt.
More like swimming pool water, or tap water with a pinch of salt added, or soft water, or...

Yup. Well technically is bleach diluted with salt water but thats it.

Let's hope nobody overdoses on the stuff.

Yikes. And people are putting this all over their food?

EDIT: I guess on the upside, it's diluted chemical, rather than full-strength bleach.

But in the article, they talk about peeling skin associated with chemicals. Are you kidding me that people use chemicals that peel your skin and don't wear at least rubber gloves? Does anyone bleach without wearing rubber gloves?

EDIT #2: American journalism wins again.

EDIT #3: Also, I love that people are discovering that you can use very diluted chemicals for practically the same effect as the vicious ones. You would not believe how blithely people spray crazy chemicals everywhere when a good brush and basic soap (and the occasional bit of diluted bleach) do an equally good job.

One of the ways of purifying water (when camping or the like) is with a bit of bleach. Drinking highly dilute bleach isn't that big a deal.

Which is essentially the same as a chlorinated city water supply, which is pretty much normal.

Yup.

Of course, many people get freaked out about that (probably the same ones drinking this "miracle water") . . .

Oh. So how dilute are we talking? Is it akin to water from the tap or stronger than that?

From the same people who sold colloidal silver to the scientifically illiterate, we have THE MYSTICAL MIRACLE BLEACHIFIER WITH ION POWARS

*may not have mystical miracle powers
