Citrus fruit and we, in the far North. Though not in the tundra, and the window sills, with thorough care, and require fertilizing, and watering. For last I heard, it is recommended to use not simple, and activated water. Tell me, dear editors: what and how is it gained?"

BANK-ACTIVATOR
Getting a series of experiments involving breeding hardy varieties corn, remembered about the amazing properties of water treated with permanent electric current. In particular, that formed in the area of the cathode catholyte has reducing (alkaline) properties and behaves truly as "living" water" in contrast to its antipode - anolyte, a kind of oxidant, or "dead" water, resulting in the area of the anode. Relying on high the biological activity of the catholyte, we decided to treat them a handful of seeds before sowing in yet progressice the ground.
"Living" water was required quite a bit. But where is the "spring", from which it you can get?
Comprehensive hint found in library files log "Modelist-constructor for the previous years(№ 12'83, 3'87, 3'96). And since neither properly equipped home workshop or recommended by node details, no time to repeat any of the published development of me was not made in haste simplest activator water. It liter glass jar with lowered in her two electrodes made of alloy 44NHTYU (Cutlery forks from the "steel"), included in home network in series with the lamp-current limiter and diode CDI. Semi-permeable membrane and short-term storage of "live" water produced at the cathode, served as sewn bottom cut canvas fire hose.
Fig. 1. Activator in haste: 1 - Bank (1 l); 2 - electrode (alloy 44NHTYU, strip 40x2, L150, 2 pieces); 3 - the semi-permeable membrane (bag of 125 mm cut canvas fire hose); 4 - water activated (0.8 l); 5 - plastic cover; 6-diode CDI; 7 - bolt M5 (2 pieces); 8 - current limiter (table lamp, 220 In, 40 W); 9 - electric cord; 10 - plug-plug; Fig. 8 - 10 shown in phantom
Activation of the water in such a device takes less than eight minutes (excessive the delay threatens to boil). The resulting catonic ready and plum use for soaking seeds before planting them in the ground and in as a medicinal Supplement when watering plants. If plain water acidity pH=7, then live it comes to pH=10.
Not to mention: treated calonita corn rose in unison, and two days earlier than usual on the control plot. Plants periodically treated by watering medicinal additive in the form of "living" water, have been remarkably successful in growth, they formed a full-fledged on the cob.
In short, all good catonic from banks activator. I only wish that their amazing properties it saves just one week.

…AND WITH A MAGNET
I developed water ionizer consists of two glued together half-liter plastic bottles of kvass (their walls in place of the joint have window size 170x5 mm, small semipermeable membrane) two submersible electrodes, a rectifier and manicavasagar device. The latter is a 3200-turn coil, wound wire PEV-0.15 per plastic the sleeve length of 60 mm and an external diameter of 6 mm. to Install this magnicificent it is best to cut the drain pipe, which can serve as a rubber a medical probe.
Fig. 2. A device for receiving and magnetization of activated water: (adapter-rectifier of four diodes CD or CD and circuit switching conditionally not shown): 1 - half-liter plastic bottle (with a cut in the side wall of the box, 170x5, 2); 2 - water; 3 - semi-permeable membrane (tarpaulin, stripe 180x10); 4 - the electrode ("stainless steel", rod diameter 10, L200, 2 pieces); 5 - wire PMA-2,5; 6 - the M4 screw (2 pieces); 7-tube drain (rubber medical probe, L300,2 PCs.); 8 - bushing emancipates (polyethylene); 9 - coil emancipates (3200 turns PM-0,15); 10 - bandage (tape)
"Live" or "dead" siphon the water is drained through the drain pipe, lowered respectively in the cathode or the anode half of the activator, has finished the work. The final product is the result of magnetization catholyte with the restorative (alkaline) properties, or its acid, the anti - anolyte, which does not stimulate, but rather suppresses the growth of microorganisms and cells of living tissues.
A membrane as in any case serves as a canvas stripe size 180x10 mm, cut, for example, from a worn protective gloves, fire hose and even obtrepalas of overalls welder. As practice shows, it is used tarp works best in the activator. He's not interferes with the process of formation and separation of ions of different polarities when passing through water with a constant electric current and prevents mixing of the catholyte with the anolyte in the de-energizing of the activator.
To judge the activity "live" or "dead" water can on a piece of litmus paper, the color of which in alkaline-acidic media aide, apparently, many from school chemistry lessons. But in the home for the rapid analysis more available phenolphthalein, which is the Foundation of tablets, of course not.
The solution of the tablet in a tablespoon of plain water gives good liquid indicator. If the drop in a spoonful of catholyte, instant reddening of the sample you can confirm the activity of "living" water (after a fortnight of its storage staining is slower and less intense color). If painted thus the catholyte to drop in a sample of the anolyte and when this will happen the discoloration of the indicator means, in the fortress "dead" water, too, can not doubt.
