As a general rule, regional toxins contribute 20 - 40 percent of the
residues found in the water after a footbath. Black flecks may be
created by heavy metals in the water as well as deterioration of
the metal in the array. Experience and the observations discussed
above will help you determine the residue coming from the client. It
is distinctly dierent from that of the array.
Additives in the Water Supply
The greater the concentration of minerals in the water, the greater
the ionization potential; however, chlorine, fluoride, and other
additives can reduce the ionization potential of the water because
they bond with the ions produced by the IonCleanse
®
system, thus
neutralizing them. This can result in little or no color change during
a session. If this happens, visit the troubleshooting section of our
website or call us for guidance.
