Uggg. That patent has sodium hydroxide (lye, Drano) being added to the water to make it alkaline.

Instead, the ionizer has positive and negative electrodes that split the alkaline minerals in the tap water to one side for use and the water's acidic minerals to another side for discard. The pH in the final drinking water output from the machine, depending upon the mineral content of the water supplied to it, is an alkaline drinking water of increased oxygen that has a pH in the range of about 8.5 to about 10.5. Ionized water from such machines is essentially acid free because the ionization process removes the acid minerals from the machine's drinking water output. The acid water from such machines is discarded or finds use by florists for preserving cut flower shelf life.
