Oxygen Water

[jagec]

This guy I knew ran a trout farm, when he was transporting the trout he'd put them in these big plastic bags and fill the top part with oxygen. The fish could last longer than just using air.

That's the only practical reason for "oxygenated water" that I can think of.

"is it works"

you should know that oxygen = what's slowly killing all of us.

I think this oxygen water thing is all bs. Even for athletes its better to drink gatorade than oxygen water.

I'd actually be interested to know if your body can use the dissolved oxygen in the water.

I doubt the oxygen is dissociated from the water when it passes through a cell membrane, so maybe you do end up using it?

That's because of the sodium loss through sweating. Nothing related to oxygen water.

I read some where that putting somebody's body in a pressurized chamber (not nessicarily with added Oxygen) will expedite burn healing, up to 7 times.

Not sure if it's true or not.

you are talking about ozonated water.

My husband works for an ozone company that builds the generators that produce the ozone for water purification. The difference between the ozonated water and other water is that there isnt as many chemicals in the water to kill bacteria.. ozone is used on top of the other chemicals, and in return less of a chemical is needed to purify the water.

No, he's talking about sterilizing water using ozone instead of chlorine. Yes it is better and it doesn't make the water taste funny.

They use chlorine still.. even when it is ozonated unless its a bottled water... Municipalities that use ozone use it at the resevoir. They still have to use chlorine (not NEAR as much as what would be needed if it wasnt ozonated) because you never know what germs the water might come in contact with from the time it leaves the resevoir station until it pumps out your faucet.

I wonder how much oxygen water can actually hold? What's the solubility?

 

[DrPizza]

at a glance, just under 50 cubic centimeters per 100cc of water. Or, a liter bottle of water will hold around half a liter worth of oxygen. Just take a couple of deep breaths... same effect.

Why EVIAN bottle water sell more expensive than any other water bottle brand such as Dasani or walmart brand?
Do they process the water differently than other brand?

For the water to be fit for human consumption, a minimal Oxigen content is needed (this might be connected to some kind of toxic substances/bacteria/... that can consume the oxygen in the water.
Oxygenated water (H2O2) can be used to stop blood loss in external hemorrhage (or so my dictionary suggest the spelling) - my mother use it to stop nasal hemorrhage.

H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide, not "oxygenated water".

Not universally, but in general, aerobic organisms are beneficial and anaerobic organisms are sickness/disease/etc.

Anaerobic water will usually be pretty stanky.

Yeah, but drinking water != being under extra pressure in a noisy plastic coffin.

Yes, true. Helps many parts of the body heal, also good for people who don't normally get enough oxygen (like those of us with sleep apnea). Negligible effects on pretty healthy folks.

Yeah, in a way. Here's a hint: REDRUM.

The ozone is for sterilization, not to make you breathe better.

 

[thomsbrain]

bwahaha, reminds me of the simpsons where homer falls through the shower curtain and the news camera shows him, while the announcer says "Homer sleeps in an oxygen tent, which he believes gives him sexual powers."

 

[glen]

Probably some sort of marketing BS.
They love to say cleaned with oxygen, not bleach.
But, they are the same thing.
Ozone is O3. It certainly can't be good for us. I am sure it introduces free radicals into our bodies since that is the only way to for O3.

Not totally related, but maybe you Californians know about this water company...I saw a quick blurb about celebrity lifestyles on E! or something similar. They talked about the bottled water craze and how there was a water company that processed the water so that "the molecules were smaller for easier absorbtion into the body." They even had a company rep on the TV and she said the same thing about having smaller water molecules. Some actor even paid 800 bucks to overnight a case to england where he was shooting a film. I took a fair amount of chemistry courses, and I'm really eager to hear how they made the water molecules smaller. Maybe they were referring to the fact that there weren't any large impurities, making the average molecule size smaller? That's not what they said, but maybe that's what they meant?

Sorry, I did a translation. It looks like it went wrong. However, "apa oxigenata" (apa is water) is used in medical kits and so on...

they just glue 4-10 more oxygen molecules to the hydrogen to make super duper oxygenated water.

Dihydrogen undecaoxide?

Putting pure oxygen over water provides higher oxygen concentration in water and there is a benefit, because fishes takes in dissolved oxygen from water with gills. Our digestive system isn't setup to extract dissolved O2 from water.
