‘Wetter’ water secret

Written by 

ALTERING THE atomic structure of water with electrical charges ‘energises’ the water, says Energy Systems Plus New Zealand, displaying its wares at the South Island Field Days.

 

This occurs naturally in the clouds by lightning, the company says. “ESP is a revolutionary electrostatic process which adds electrons to the water altering the state of the water molecule which has the effect of energising the water and all that comes into contact with it,” says ESP’s Systems integration and electronics specialist Bob Greer.

The process was developed in the US, where it is said to have received wide acceptance, and to be used extensively in all types of farming.

The effect is achieved by passing all water through a suitably sized pipe to which are attached the treating electrodes. These can be powered by mains, battery or solar panels and there is minimal power usage. For irrigation usage it is recommended that a separate larger treating unit be used because of the volume.

The effect of the process is said to be a reduction in surface tension resulting in “wetter water”.

Greer says wetter energised water is more effective for cleaning and the water has better soil leaching properties. Consequently detergents and other cleaners become more efficient and less is needed. It penetrates soil better and faster and because of its changed structure it can break down and leach away salts encrusted on the soil surface, in subsoil, on plant roots, pipes,  nozzles , and, it enhances digestion in animals, actually, in all bio-digestive processes including effluent treatment ponds.
