How much sodium is added to the treated water?
Although on-site generation uses salt as a feedstock, the conversion efficiencies are extremely good, resulting in only minute amounts of sodium being added to the treated water. In fact, to ingest the same amount of sodium in a single can of Coca Cola™, one would have to drink about 12 gallons (47 liters) of water treated with a MIOX generator. This means that Coca Cola™ has about 132 times more sodium than water treated with a MIOX unit.
On-site generators add Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in the form of sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-). Note that most waters already have TDS naturally occurring at around 100 to 150 mg/L, so the addition of TDS by on-site generation is nominal.
