Electrolysed water

Electrolysed water (also electrolyzed water, EOW, electrolyzed oxidizing water, electro-activated water, super-oxidized solution or electro-chemically activated water solution) is produced by the electrolysis of water containing dissolved sodium chloride. The electrolysis of salt solutions produces a solution of hypochlorous acid and sodium hydroxide. The hypochlorous acid and sodium hydroxide (essentially, bleach) generated by electrolysis can be used as a disinfectant, if the solution is used immediately before the solution degrades.
