the history of electro-functional water and its

JWS TECNICA CO., Ltd

The followings are the test results in Japan, Mongolia and China, for about 10000ha.

The production goes up 20% when electro-functional water is used.

The production goes down 95% when pesticides are used. No chemical fertilizers

are used. (Organic fertilizers are used.)

The history of electro-functional

water and its development in the

future.

The technology of electrolysis can date back to Volta batteries by Alessandro Volta in 1800.

In Japan, around 1940, it can be traced back to the acid electrolysis water produced in water storage electrolyzer (Batch Type).

This water was approved as medicine. This is the first generation of electrolysis equipment in Japan.

The technology was discontinued because of the defeat of the Pacific War. The restarted technology development revived in the field of agriculture in 1953, the electrolysis water was used for agriculture for the first time in the world. In those days, the basic technology was water storage electrolyzer (Batch Type), the machine was very expensive, producing a small amount, the soil damaged by the residual salt persisted and it was not widely used because pesticides and chemical fertilizers were more common.

The history of electrolysis water.

(1) First generation

(2) Second generationThe technology development continued and the water

pressure type (2 rooms style) called the second

generation appeared. This type of electrolysis equipment

is still mainstream even now, but residual salt causes the

soil damage and cannot be used for agriculture.

(3) Third generationDuring 1990s came along the same type of water pressure

type, but 3 room-style electrolyzer. This can electrolyze

pure water in 3 rooms separated by Ion-exchange membrane and electrolytes and it was developed to

solve the problem of residual salt with the first and second

generation. The results in the field of agriculture were very

good, but this type of machine malfunctioned often and the initial running cost was high. The density of electrolysis

water was low, so it could not be diluted.

(4) Fourth generation

We entered the fourth generation of electrolysis

technology in the mid 2000s, the machines became

larger, but they had defects that the electrolysis was

not conducted evenly. Further improvement was

added in the second term of the fourth generation.We invented electrolysis equipment that can circulate

not only electrolytes but also water through one-side

draining system. This is the technology of electrolysis by

JWS. The generator in the first term of the fourthgeneration was able to produce pH 12.5, but pH 13.5

water could be produced by one-side draining system.

This allowed the standard water pH 13 to be diluted

and used for the agriculture.

The residual salt level is 0, so no worry is necessary for the soil damage caused by

salt. This is also epoch-making. The one-side draining system by JWS made it

possible to lower the price and dilute the water. It is very easy to use and can be

used for the agriculture for years to come. The average production can be multiplied 1.3～1.5 times using no pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This is the

agricultural technology of electrolysis water by JWS.

The followings are our agricultural production in each country.

Electrolyzers of all companies

CucumbersMr. Iizuka in Saitama Prefecture started the agriculture with electrolysis water from the beginning of January, 2008. The harvest finally started in mid-February. The roots grew faster and better than ever and the colors of leaves were more vivid

and thicker. Cucumbers harvested at the time of the first blossoms had great results with sweet flavors, scents and textures.The pesticides were normally used 4 to 5 times every year, but no sign of pests were observed, so no pesticides were used so far.

Tomatos（１）

Electrolysis water was applied before the plantation. The view after the plantation Electrolysis water was sprayed

The colors of leaves are very vivid as they grew. The harvest was put off one month

and the production went up.

The size of harvest increased 30%

at the end of harvesting.

Mr. Okamura in Nogi, in Tochigi Prefecture cultivates tomatoes and melons and sells them directly in

his own shop. The quality was improved because no pesticides were used. The word of mouth

promoted and increased his sales.


Tomatos（２）Kagome, famous for their tomato production is using electrolysis water for tomatoes for eating raw in their farms (Fukushima, Iwaki Konahama Farm 10Ha, Wakayama, Katana Farm 5ha, Fukuoka・Hibikinada 8.5ha) and

contracted farms (Hiroshima・Sera Farm 8ha, Kochi・Shimanto Mihara farm 3ha). Electrolysis water promotes

the growth and the reduction of pesticides.

PotatosMr. Kawauchida in Tanegashima island in Kagoshima introduced the agriculture with electrolysis water in

October. He has just planted potatoes. As a test, he used electrolysis water for one place and not for the

others. He could see a big difference. It goes without saying that he has been using no pesticides until now.

The forefront has no electrolysis water, the further area

had electrolysis water.Stems are big and vivid leaves can be seen.

Differences are visible when you pull them out and see the roots.A root potato looks so different, it is very fresh in

electrolysis water area.


EggplantsA big difference can be observed for eggplants being grown with electrolysis water in Shimonoseki in

Yamaguchi Prefecture. This difference is clearly seen for the times when the plantation is just complete

in the same area. The upper side shows the agriculture with electrolysis water and the lower side shows

the traditional cultivation with chemical fertilizers. The roots damage is visible.

The heights are the same, growing well. The colors are vivid and they grow well.

Some strange growing can be seen. Leaving are falling and withering.


Komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach)Komatsuna is cultivated with electrolysis water using no chemical fertilizers. Mr. Sekiguchi in

Nerima, Tokyo periodically sprays, using his spray system. As a result, they grew soundly and no

pesticides were used.

The alkali water is sprayed, so the germination is very good and complete. The spray system is used so electrolysis water is applied and cultivated without fail.

The harvest was complete without any pesticides. The leaves were thick and colors were vivid without any pests or diseases.


Strawberrys（１）Mr. Kasahara in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture and Ecoberry Muramastu started the agriculture with

electrolysis water in January, 2000. They are the first farmers who use the agriculture with electrolysis water.

Their first year of introduction reached 120% production, the following year reached 150% production. Year

after year, their reputation improved and their sales stand was set up on a basement of a department store,

realizing high sales. Furthermore, their special features are that they cultivate in Hamamatsu in the winter and

the cultivation moves to mountains in the summer enabling year-round production. Mr. Kasahara comments:

"The agriculture without electrolysis water is no longer my option." He is very satisfied with his strawberries in

terms of the colors, keeping quality, textures, and sweetness.

The direct-sales store sells a lot in high season.

They are very healthy and have no sign of diseases. Parents plants for runners Mr. Hasahara taking good care of his strawberries

(Covers are used.) (Deformed ones are scarce and colors of strawberries are great)


Japanese Parsley mitsubaThe agriculture with electrolysis water is introduced into the aquaculture. Sarujima Aquaculture

(company.LTD) in Sarujima, Ibaraki Prefecture had already introduced traditional electrolysis

water. They introduced the spray system at the same time in order to facilitate spraying and use

electrolysis water guaranteed to prevent the product diseases.

1. Mongolia

Why Mongolia?

Mongolia is situated in Central Asia with the average altitude of

1000M, the temperature reaches +40C in the summer and -40C

in the winter.

The difference in the temperature is 80C. The plow layer of the

farming land is very thin between 30cm to 50cm, the layer

below is solid rock, which is extremely unsuitable for the

cultivation. This is what we thought: if we can succeed in the

agriculture in this land, we can promote our JWS agriculture

with electrolysis water no matter where we go in the world.

Mongolia was our first step.

First of all, we cultivated their staple food, barley and potato,

which are in the biggest production amount.

2. Results in China

Based on the results in Mongolia, we

conducted demonstration tests in China.

The land we had used to be used as a

parking space for a driving school in the

outskirts of Beijing. We dug up the

pavement made of concrete and

successfully changed the parking space full

of stones into great fields.

On 4th March, 2015 we dug up the area andapplied organic fertilizer (dung).
