Glossary of Terms
Acidic: Tending to form an acid.
Activated Oxygen: Activated Oxygen is the linking of 3 oxygen molecules otherwise known as O3, or ozone. When the oxygen (O2) that is all around us rises to the upper atmosphere, and is exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays, that oxygen is naturally turned into ozone (O3). That is the "ozone layer" that protects us from the sun's harmful UV rays. Since ozone is heavier than air it naturally falls back to earth. This is the ozone that naturally purifies our air and water. Without ozone nature could not purify our Earth.
Air Water: Water produced from an atmospheric water generator.
Alkaline: having a pH value greater than 7.
Botanical: Something of, pertaining to, made from, or containing plants.
Back up Water Line: A way to draw water from an outside source.
Condensation: Condensation is the change in matter of a substance to a denser phase, such as a gas (or vapor) to a liquid. Condensation commonly occurs when a vapor is cooled to a liquid, but can also occur if a vapor is compressed (i.e., pressure on it increased) into a liquid, or undergoes a combination of cooling and compression.
Detox: to detoxify.
Dissolved Oxygen: the amount of oxygen dissolved in a body of water as an indication of the degree of health of the water and its ability to support a balanced aquatic ecosystem; also, the amount of free (not chemically combined) oxygen dissolved in water, wastewater, or other liquid, usually expressed in milligrams per liter, parts per million, or percent of saturation; abbr.
Distilled Water: water from which impurities, as dissolved salts and colloidal particles, have been removed by one or more processes of distillation; chemically pure water.
Diuretic: increasing the volume of the urine excreted, as by a medicinal substance.
Evaporation: Evaporation is one of the two forms of vaporization. It is the process whereby atoms or molecules in a liquid state (or solid state if the substance sublimes) gain sufficient energy to enter the gaseous state. It is the opposite process of condensation.
Inorganic Minerals: Inorganic minerals are referred to as salts or mineral salts. When these inorganic minerals are dissolved in water they are referred to as "total dissolved solids" or TDS.
Microminerals: Microminerals or trace elements include at least iron, cobalt, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, zinc, and molybdenum. They are dietary minerals needed by the human body in very small quantities (generally less than 100mg/day) as opposed to macrominerals which are required in larger quantities. Note that the use of the term "mineral" here is distinct from the usage in the geological sciences.
Multi Trace Minerals: See Microminerals.
Organic Minerals: Organic minerals include those organic compounds that are recognized and classified as minerals.
Oxygenate: to treat, combine, or enrich with oxygen.
pH: The symbol for the logarithm of the reciprocal of hydrogen ion concentration in gram atoms per liter, used to express the acidity or alkalinity of a solution on a scale of 0 to 14, where less than 7 represents acidity, 7 neutrality, and more than 7 alkalinity.
Precipitation: the condensation of a solid from a solution during a chemical reaction; rain, snow and other forms of water falling from the sky.
R.O. Water: Water from Reverse Osmosis. Process in which pure water is produced by forcing waste or saline water through a semipermeable membrane.
Relative Humidity: the amount of water vapor in the air, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount that the air could hold at the given temperature; the ratio of the actual water vapor pressure to the saturation vapor pressure.
Stabilized Oxygen: Stabilized Oxygen or Aerobic Oxygen is a safe, non-toxic stabilized liquid concentrate of electrolytes of oxygen.
Stamina: strength of physical constitution; power to endure disease, fatigue, privation, etc.
Sterilize: to destroy microorganisms in or on, usually by bringing to a high temperature with steam, dry heat, or boiling liquid.
TDS: Total Dissolved Solids. Total dissolved solids is an expression for the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid which are present in a molecular, ionized or micro-granular (colloidal sol) suspended form.
Transpiration: Transpiration is the evaporation of water from aerial parts of plants, especially leaves but also stems, flowers and fruits.
Ultra Violet: Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than soft X-rays. It can be subdivided into near UV (400–200 nm wavelength; abbrev. NUV), far or vacuum UV (200–10 nm; abbrev. FUV or VUV), and extreme UV (1–31 nm; abbrev. EUV or XUV).
Water Cycle: The cycle of evaporation and condensation that controls the distribution of the earth's water as it evaporates from bodies of water, condenses, precipitates, and returns to those bodies of water. Also called hydrologic cycle.
