Be nice to know what the diaphragm was made of.
Seems like it would be a relatively simple jump to make your own
alkaline silver/mineral water.

Abstract
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
A process for producing silver-ionic water, comprising;
a step of passing water through a first electrolytic cell chamber
containing an anode and a cathode and provided with silver on the
anode, under the application of a voltage, to dissolve out silver
ions; and
a step of passing the water in which said silver ions have been
dissolved out, through either one or both of an anode compartment
and a cathode compartment of a second electrolytic cell chamber
containing an anode and a cathode and separated into said anode
compartment and said cathode compartment with a diaphragm formed
between both of said electrodes.
The process is useful for producing acidic silver-ionic water and/or
alkaline silver-ionic water without causing the formation of colloids
even under relatively higher silver ion concentration.
Also disclosed are useful apparatus for practicing the above
processes.
