Claim 0:
1. A process of producing an alkaline water having a pH of between 10.0 and 12.0 and an acidic water having a pH of between 4.0 and 5.0 from an initial stream of water having a total dissolved solid content between 0 ppm and 10 ppm, by electrolysis with at least one cathode and at least one anode, said process comprising the steps:
dissolving an alkaline salt of sodium propionate in the initial stream to produce a feed stream including the initial stream containing the cations of sodium and the anions of propionate and a residual of undissolved alkaline salt of sodium propionate,
electrolyzing the feed stream to dissociate water into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions and to produce an alkaline water adjacent to a cathode and acidic water adjacent to an anode,
removing the alkaline water, and
removing the acidic water,
wherein said step of electrolyzing the feed stream further includes a step of applying an electric potential of between 20V and 50V between the cathode and the anode, wherein said process further includes a step of sterilizing the cathode and the anode and an electrolysis machine prior to said step of electrolyzing the feed stream, wherein the alkaline water has an Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) of between −220 mV and −280 mV.
