• Q: What kind of water should I use?

A: You'll never go wrong with distilled water, filtered water, or purified water. Oftentimes regular tap water will work just fine if the mineral and chlorine level aren't too high. If you use a water softener the salt content will be too high.

• Q: Does the water need to be hot or cold?

A: Osmosis through the feet works much better when the water is warm to hot.

• Q: Does it matter what type or brand of salt I use?

A: No, regular table-salt works just fine. You can also use sea-salt or other natural salts.

• Q: Can I extend the life of the Ionator?

A: Yes, if you use Muriatic Acid to clean the Ionator it will extend the life an extra 20 or more applications. You rinse the Ionator off, using tap water, then dip the Ionator in Muriatic Acid and rinse off with water again.

Also, you will find a strong odor coming from the client's water sample compared to almost no smell form the one using the Ionator and water only.
