You know, this is one of those claims that always makes me chuckle a bit (in a sick sorta way…). Now I’ll admit up f ront I have not looked at their site, so I will make no comment on the product itself.
It’s the “99.9%” claim that makes me laugh. What is 0.1% of 1 BILLION bacteria? It’s a million. Can a million bacteria start an infection? Yah, youbet cha.
To me, this is like saying I can remove 99.9% of the cyanide in mine tailings. The 0.1% left is still well above what’s needed to do harm, so what’s the point? Unless you have a system that is kil ling 99.999%, I’m not sure you’re ahead by much, but that’s ju st my opinion.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Help needed on activated water products
Dear
Group,
For years I have been hearing about the ionized water cleaners and have pre
tty
much dismissed them. Clearly, you can make water temporarily a better
solvent with electricity, but I can't imagine it being of much use against
greasy
materials for which water is just not a good solvent, activated or not.
Now, there is a new kid on the block called Activeion Cleaning Solutions
(www.activeion.com) and they are really cleaning up, to make a joke.
And
they have a great presentation with Bill Nye the Science Guy as their
spokeperson. It's such a slick presentation, I want to buy one myself
when I watch.
They are also claiming 99.9% kill of MRSA and other microorganisms, and yet
I
can't see any EPA registration for the product on the site. They even
show it being used in hospitals.
I'm appealing you all for whatever wisdom you may have about this product.<
