Structured water refers to water that has been mechanically altered through vortex motion to change its molecular arrangement. Water in nature is usually structured. As water runs through nature, it spins around corners and curves and this spinning creates a vortex, which structures the water.

The concept:

• In nature, water moves in spirals and vortexes (rivers, streams, waterfalls)

• This natural movement creates specific patterns in water molecules

• Structured water devices attempt to recreate this natural motion

• The goal is to return water to a more "natural" state

What happens mechanically:

• Water flows through specially designed chambers

• Creates a double vortex (clockwise and counterclockwise simultaneously)

• Mimics the tumbling motion of mountain streams

• Changes the temporary arrangement of water molecules

Important to understand: Water structure is temporary. Once structured, water gradually returns to its previous state over time (hours to days, depending on storage conditions).

Natural Action's unique "flow form" transforms water into a coherent, liquid crystalline water state. This mirrors the natural movement of water in mountain streams. Twisting left and right, our double vortex technology creates the structuring effect.

The mechanical process:

1. Water enters the device

• Flows into specially designed chambers

• Internal geometry forces water into spiral patterns

2. Double vortex creation

• Water spins simultaneously in two directions

• Creates a powerful vortex effect

• A device that causes the water to spin 360° simultaneously, creating a double vortex in the water that triggers the natural structuration process

3. What happens to the water:

• The water flows in a natural swirling motion. This aerates the water, which increases the transfer of gas between it and the atmospheric air, resulting in an infusion of oxygen, the release of volatile compounds, raised pH levels

• Molecular arrangement temporarily changes

• Water exits in a "structured" state

Key point: Using flow form technology, this device restructures and energizes any drinking water, mimicking the natural motion and magnetism of mountain springs

No electricity, no filters, no maintenance required. The device works purely through water flow and internal geometry.

Mechanical effects (what we can measure):

• Aerates water (adds oxygen)

• May slightly alter pH toward neutral

• Releases some volatile compounds

• Changes temporary molecular clustering

What users commonly report:

• Water tastes "smoother" or "softer"

• Plants seem to thrive better

• Feels more hydrating

• Pets prefer it

• Skin feels better after showering

It does NOT:

• ❌ Remove hardness minerals (calcium, magnesium)

• ❌ Remove contaminants (lead, arsenic, chemicals)

• ❌ Filter sediment or particles

• ❌ Kill bacteria or viruses

• ❌ Remove chlorine or fluoride

• ❌ Soften water for appliances

• ❌ Prevent scale buildup

• ❌ Replace any water treatment system

If you have hard water: You still need a water softener If you have contaminants: You still need RO or filtration If you have bacteria: You still need UV sterilization

Structured water is an enhancement, not a treatment.

Whole-Home Installation (Most Common):

• Installed on main water line

• Treats all water entering your home

• Typically installed after softener/filtration (if you have those)

• Takes about 1-2 hours to install

Under-Sink Installation:

• Installed under kitchen sink

• Treats only drinking water

• Good for renters or trying it out first

• Easy DIY installation

Portable Units:

• Handheld devices for pour-through use

• Great for travel

• No installation needed

• Pour water through device into glass

Shower Units:

• Attaches to shower arm

• Structures water for bathing

• Easy to install yourself

Garden Hose Attachments:

• For outdoor watering

• Popular with gardeners

• Users report better plant growth

Here's the honest answer: It depends on your expectations.

It's worth it IF:

• You want to experiment with water enhancement

• You've heard positive testimonials from people you trust

• You're interested in natural/holistic approaches

• You have disposable income for wellness products

• You understand it's not replacing other water treatment

• You're curious about the technology

It's probably NOT worth it IF:

• You expect it to solve hard water problems (get a softener)

• You expect it to purify contaminated water (get RO/UV)

• You're on a tight budget (prioritize proven systems first)

• You're looking for scientifically-proven medical benefits

• You expect dramatic, immediate results

Our honest recommendation:

1. Install necessary systems first (softener, RO, UV if needed)

2. Then consider structured water as an enhancement

Important: These are anecdotal reports from users, not proven medical claims.

Taste & Feel (Most Common):

• "Water tastes smoother, less harsh"

• "Feels silkier in the mouth"

• "Don't taste chlorine as much" (though chlorine is still present)

• "Coffee and tea taste better"

Hydration (Frequently Mentioned):

• "Feel more hydrated throughout the day"

• "Don't need to drink as much water"

• "Feel more energized"

• Note: Hydration is subjective and hard to measure

Bathing (Often Reported):

• "Skin feels softer after showers"

• "Hair seems healthier"

• "Less dryness"

• Note: These could also be from soft water if you have a softener

Gardening (Popular Among Gardeners):

• "Plants grow faster and healthier"

• "Vegetables taste better"

• "Seeds germinate better"

• "Flowers are more vibrant"

Pets (Commonly Noted):

• "Pets prefer structured water over regular tap"

• "Dogs and cats drink more water"

• "Fish tanks stay cleaner longer"

Appliances (Some Reports):

• "Less scale buildup" (though this is really the softener's job)

• "Appliances seem to run better"

Common criticisms:

• "It's just placebo effect"

• "Not enough scientific evidence"

• "Water structure changes are temporary anyway"

• "Expensive for what it does"

• "Just drink regular water"

Fair points:

• The science is limited compared to softeners/RO/UV

• Placebo effect is real and powerful

• Results vary dramatically by person

• It's not cheap

Our perspective:

• We sell structured water units because customers request them

• We're transparent about the limited science

• We don't claim medical benefits

• Some people love them, some return them

• We let you decide

No electricity required:

• Works purely on water flow

• No power cord needed

• No batteries

• Works during power outages

No maintenance:

• No filters to change

• No parts to clean

• No chemicals to add

• No servicing needed

• Install it and forget it

How is this possible?

• Simple mechanical design

• Flow-form geometry does the work

• Stainless steel construction doesn't degrade

• Nothing to wear out

Compare to other systems:

• Water softener: Needs salt monthly, annual service

• RO system: Filter changes 2-4x/year

• UV system: Annual lamp replacement

• Structured water: Nothing

What we know:

• Water structure changes immediately as it flows through device

• Structure begins reverting to normal state after exiting

• Timeframe varies: Hours to days

• Depends on storage conditions

Factors affecting duration:

• Temperature (cooler = longer lasting)

• Container material (glass better than plastic)

• Exposure to electromagnetic fields

• Movement and agitation

Practical implications:

• Best to use water shortly after structuring

• Whole-home unit structures water right before use (ideal)

• Portable units: pour and drink relatively soon

• Stored structured water gradually loses structure

Is this a problem?

• For whole-home use: No, water is structured on-demand

• For portable use: Just structure water as you use it

• Not a flaw, just how the physics works

Yes - and this is the recommended setup.

Ideal installation order:

1. Sediment filter (removes particles first)

2. Water softener (removes hardness)

3. Carbon filter (removes chlorine, chemicals)

4. UV sterilization (kills bacteria if needed)

5. Structured water unit (last, structures already-treated water)

6. Water enters your home

Why this order?

• Structured water works best on clean water

• Other systems handle actual treatment needs

• Structuring is the final "enhancement"

• Think of it as the "finishing touch"

Can you use structured water alone?

• Yes, but you're not addressing hard water, contaminants, or bacteria

• We don't recommend it as your only system

• Install proper treatment first, then add structuring

Chlorine:

• ❌ Does NOT remove chlorine chemically

• May release some volatile chlorine compounds through aeration

• Chlorine remains in the water

• If you want chlorine removed: Use carbon filter

pH:

• May slightly alter pH toward neutral (7.0)

• Changes are typically minimal (0.1-0.3 pH units)

• Brings extreme pH closer to neutral range

• Not a significant pH adjuster

If you have water issues:

• High chlorine → Need carbon filter

• pH problems → Need pH adjustment system

• Don't rely on structured water for these fixes

No - different concepts entirely.

Alkaline Water:

• High pH (8.0-10.0)

• Achieved through mineralization or electrolysis

• Claims about health benefits

• Can be measured precisely

Structured Water:

• Neutral pH (typically 6.8-7.2)

• Achieved through vortex motion

• Claims about molecular arrangement

• Structure changes are harder to measure

Can water be both? Technically yes, but they're addressing different properties.

This is where structured water gets the most positive anecdotal feedback.

What gardeners commonly report:

• Faster seed germination

• Stronger, healthier plants

• Increased yield (vegetables, fruits)

• More vibrant flowers

• Better root development

• Plants need less water

• Soil stays healthier

Possible explanations:

• Better oxygen content in water

• Improved water absorption by roots

• Enhanced nutrient delivery

• More natural water state

Scientific evidence:

• Studies on various animals over 20 years show benefits after consuming structured water for at least a month: faster growth

• Limited controlled studies on plants specifically

• Mostly anecdotal from gardeners

Garden hose attachment:

• Most affordable way to try structured water ($150-250)

• Easy to install

• Water your garden and see for yourself

• Many customers start here before whole-home install

Our observation: Garden use gets the most consistent positive feedback from customers.

Yes - and many pet owners report positive observations.

What pet owners commonly say:

• Dogs and cats prefer structured water

• Pets drink more water voluntarily

• Aquarium water stays cleaner

• Fish seem healthier

• Livestock thrive better

For aquariums:

• Some aquarium enthusiasts use structured water

• Report fewer algae problems

• Fish appear more active

• Water stays clearer

Important: Structured water doesn't remove chlorine or chloramines, which are harmful to fish. You still need to dechlorinate aquarium water properly.

Honest answer:

1. Customer demand: Many customers ask for it specifically

2. No harm: It doesn't damage water or systems.

3. Transparency: We're upfront about what it is and isn't

Our philosophy:

• We prioritize proven systems (softeners, RO, UV)

• We recommend those first

• Structured water is an optional add-on

• We let you make an informed decision

We won't:

• Make medical claims

• Say it replaces necessary treatment

• Oversell the benefits

• Hide the limited science

EZ Water (Exclusion Zone Water) is a concept researched by Dr. Gerald Pollack at University of Washington.

The theory:

• Water can exist in a fourth phase (beyond solid, liquid, gas)

• This phase has a gel-like structure

• Exists near hydrophilic surfaces

• May have special properties

Connection to structured water:

• Some believe vortex action creates more EZ water

• Research is ongoing

• Not yet mainstream science

• Interesting but unproven

Our take: Interesting concept, early-stage research, don't base your purchase decision on it.

Limited research exists:

Studies on various animals over 20 years show benefits after consuming structured water for at least a month: faster growth, reduced oxidative stress, better diabetes responses, improved blood lipids, better semen quality, and higher tissue conductivity

However: These are primarily animal studies, not human clinical trials.

When children used structured water as a mouth rinse twice daily for 2 weeks, there was a significant reduction in S. mutans count in dental plaque and saliva

However: Small study, no control group.

The reality:

• Research is limited and preliminary

• Most studies are on animals, not humans

• Needs more rigorous, controlled trials

• Not comparable to proven systems (softeners, RO, UV)

We're transparent about this: The science isn't there yet. You're trying it based on user experiences, not proven medical benefits.

• ✅ A mechanical device that creates vortex motion

• ✅ Mimics natural water movement

• ✅ Changes temporary molecular arrangement

• ✅ Maintenance-free and chemical-free

• ✅ Safe to use

• ✅ Appreciated by many users

Structured water is NOT:

• ❌ A water treatment system

Our honest recommendation:

1. Install necessary treatment first (test your water, address actual issues)

2. Consider structured water as an optional enhancement

3. Decide for yourself if you notice a difference

Some people love it. Some return it. You won't know until you try.
