Our first H3O bottle

Since our introduction of H3O in 2002, we've received hundreds of letters of feedback on a wide variety of applications for this product. It was evident early on that "H3O" was "pH driven" -- specifically, that the product manifested different properties based on the degree of dilution with water to which it was subjected.
Below, we have created a "pH Chart" that correlates dilution and pH with functionality. We believe it will be useful to you as you use the product. The water (H2O) used is distilled water (≈ 6.5 pH), more alkaline than the "purified" water that was originally used to test H3O in our initial presentations of this product. If you use distilled water, you therefore get a lower yield than if you use most "purified water." Still, we recommend that you use distilled water to get the best results.

Dilution	pH	Yield From 8 Fl. Oz.	Functionality Related To This pH
None. This is use of the product straight from the bottle, with no dilution.	≈ 0.0-0.1	8 fl. oz.	Only in rare instances do you use the concentrate without dilution. Not intended for any internal use. (See 1:128 dilution ratio below.)
1 : 9 One part H3O to nine parts distilled H2O. (Ex: 1 fl. oz. H3O, 9 fl. oz. H2O.)	≈ 1.5	80 Fl. Oz. = 0.625 Gal. (2.36 liters)	This is about as high a concentration as most people use. This would be used to kill pathogenic bacteria and other organisms; in small quantities, in a mouthwash to heal an oral infection; or as a soak to address toenail fungus. Not a commonly used ratio. Use 1:16 for a "high kill" solution.
1 : 16 One part H3O to sixteen parts distilled H2O. (Ex: 1 fl. oz. H3O, 16 fl. oz. H2O.)	≈ 1.75	136 Fl. Oz. = 1.0625 Gal. (4.02 liters)	Same effects as 1:9 above, except that the anti-microbial action would take slightly longer.
1 : 24 One part H3O to 24 parts distilled H2O. (Ex: 1 fl. oz. H3O, 24 fl. oz. H2O.)	≈ 1.8	200 Fl. Oz. = 1.5625 Gal. (5.913 liters)	Same effects as 1:16 above, but responding not as quickly.
1 : 32 One part H3O to thirty-two parts distilled H2O. (Ex: 1 fl. oz. H3O, 32 fl. oz. H2O.)	≈ 1.9	264 Fl. Oz. = 2.0625 Gal. (7.805 liters)	Same effects as 1:24 above, except that the anti-microbial action would take slightly longer. This was our original recommendation for general anti-microbial usage.
1 : 64 One part H3O to sixty-four parts distilled H2O. (Ex: 1 fl. oz. H3O, 64 fl. oz. [half gallon] H2O.)	≈ 2.1	520 Fl. Oz. = 4.0625 Gal. (15.374 liters)	For use as a general mouthwash; light anti-microbial wash.
1 : 128 One part H3O to 128 parts distilled H2O. (Ex: 1 fl. oz. H3O, 128 fl. oz. [one gallon] H2O.)	≈ 2.35	1,032 Fl. Oz. = 8.0625 Gal. (30.511 liters)	This is the dilution ratio that we recommend for drinking a "high proton" beverage. Taking one to two tablespoons a day at this dilution ratio would equate to the anti-aging benefits which Dr. Vladimir Volkov ascribes to in his writings. Note: The acid water obtained through general hydrolysis is about 2.7, so this is "beverage" would be even higher in H+ content. The taste of the end beverage at this dilution ratio is very agreeable. We recommend adding a twist of lemon to taste . . . Incidentally, the daily intake of R.L. Banks to produce the results shown in his pictures, were 5 cc, 2X daily. This was taken in gel caps. To obtain this same result at the 1:128 ratio, you would consume 1,280 ml. (that's 1.35 quarts or 5.4 cups) throughout the day.
