Water Quality Terms
Water revitalization may include one or several refinement methods designed to elevate water quality beyond basic filtration. These approaches often incorporate nature-inspired technologies such as flow-form dynamics, magnetic influence, and other forms of passive water modulation—all intended to restore water to a more coherent, functional state.
Many researchers and traditional wellness systems describe water as a kind of fluid crystal—responsive, structured, and capable of holding subtle energetic patterns.
What remains less understood is the degree to which these patterns influence the body, and whether the “information” water carries supports or disrupts overall wellness.
This is precisely why revitalization matters:
not only to purify water, but to refine the quality of what remains.
Like most things in wellness, every approach carries both potential benefits and considerations. Ultimately, it is each individual’s responsibility to explore the available information and choose what aligns best with their values, lifestyle, and personal standards.
Water revitalization is often described as restoring a form of life force—bringing water closer to the qualities found in nature. And while biology cannot exist without water, many believe the quality of that water matters just as much as its availability.
There is compelling observational and correlative evidence suggesting that water’s subtle vitality may decline through excessive entropy—created by modern handling conditions such as repeated short cycling, high pressure, heat, radiation, environmental noise, and synthetic chemical exposure.
In other words: water may remain drinkable, yet lose the natural coherence that makes it feel truly alive.
A Refined Vocabulary of Water Quality
At Natural Action, we believe language matters—especially in a space where many terms are used loosely, inconsistently, or purely for marketing. Below is a clearer, more intentional framework for understanding the most common terminology surrounding advanced water quality.
Functional Water
Water that is considered to support a more favorable biological response, depending on the source, structure, and intended application.
This term is best understood as outcome-based: water that performs differently in a living system.
Structured Water
A widely used phrase that often implies functional water, yet remains highly ambiguous.
At this time, there is no single universally accepted standard of measurement or verification for the term “structured water,” making it difficult to define objectively without additional context.
Hexagonal Water
A term originating from Eastern research traditions, influenced by the NMR work of Mu Shik Jhon and others, examining the percentage of ring structures—particularly six-member versus three-member formations—in liquid water.
While often associated with electromagnetic interaction and passive modulation, “hexagonal water” represents only a portion of water’s total structural behavior as measured through specific NMR methods. It is therefore not a complete description of water as a whole.
Activated Water
A term sometimes used to describe functional water, often connected to NMR research involving proton arrangement and spin dynamics.
It is commonly associated with specific electrolysis-based methods designed to alter water’s behavior and characteristics.
EZ Water (Exclusion Zone Water)
A term introduced by Dr. Gerald Pollack describing charge separation effects at interfaces between water and hydrophilic surfaces.
In simplified terms, EZ water refers to water that becomes more polarized and electrically differentiated than traditional models predict—creating a distinct region of altered behavior and properties.
Charged Water
A popular phrase that typically suggests water with increased energetic potential or reduced biological burden after consumption.
However, outside of precise electrical engineering definitions, the term “charged” is highly interpretive and often used broadly, without consistent scientific standardization.
Double Helix Water
A more recent term inspired by observations of soft solid H₂O formations detected at room temperature through atomic force microscopy (AFM), particularly under extreme dilution conditions where charge dynamics appear to collapse inward.
The term emerged from captured imagery resembling double-helix-like formations, though water has been observed forming multiple soft solid geometries under similar conditions.
While still emerging and requiring broader corroboration, this area of study may represent one of the most intriguing frontiers in modern water research as it continues to mature.
Natural Action Perspective
Water is not a simple substance.
It is a dynamic medium—responsive to movement, environment, material interaction, and time.
Our work exists at the intersection of nature, precision, and possibility—refining water beyond purity, toward performance.
Mineral-Enhanced Water
Mineral-enhanced water is one of the most established and measurable variables in water quality, capable of producing a wide range of effects depending on mineral type, concentration, and bioavailability.
Unlike many subtle or structural concepts, mineral enhancement can often be evaluated through clear and objective laboratory analysis—because it involves tangible substances and predictable chemical interactions.
However, whether mineral enrichment alone contributes to true revitalization or creates what could be considered functional water requires thoughtful assessment, context, and observation. Quality is not determined solely by what is added, but by how the water behaves as a complete system.
Common Sense
It is unlikely that water—or the deeper mechanics of nature and the universe—will ever be fully explained in absolute terms.
Throughout history, meaningful technologies have often emerged long before science reached full consensus on how or why they worked. This is not an exception—it is the pattern of human progress.
In practice, discovery begins with observation.
The model is shaped by what is seen.
The system must evolve to fit reality—not the other way around.
Water is one of the most dominant elements on Earth—by both volume and weight. And while scientific models of matter continue to evolve and refine themselves, one truth remains clear:
Water is worthy of greater reverence.
Not only because it sustains life, but because it shapes the biological and environmental systems it flows through. The more we understand, the more we recognize that water is not merely a substance—it is an active medium.
The Three Pillars of Functional Water
At Natural Action, we recognize three primary factors that influence water’s ability to become functional water:
-
Filtration
-
Revitalization
-
Mineral enhancement
Each can be evaluated both objectively and subjectively, and each plays a meaningful role in restoring water toward a higher standard of performance.
Filtration: Precision Matters
Filtration should be used wherever it is deemed necessary—and when it is used, it should be of the highest available quality.
The most refined filtration systems are designed to remove substances of concern while preserving the water’s naturally occurring trace minerals as much as possible. In this sense, filtration is not simply about removal—it is about intelligent balance.
Producers of filtration systems should provide measurable objectivity, supported by transparent testing and verifiable performance standards.
It must also be recognized that trace elements are not all equal. Their quality may vary depending on origin, processing method, and composition—factors that can influence how water behaves, not only what it contains.
Revitalization: Measuring the Subtle, Observing the Whole
Water revitalization can be assessed through both measurable data and direct experience.
Over time, the cumulative observation of revitalization methods may be used to identify shifts in water behavior—changes that may qualify water as a more functional form of itself.
There are many approaches and many claims in this field. However, several methods have been cited and corroborated to a degree worth noting, including:
Methods Commonly Used to Assess Water Revitalization
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
Measurements such as proton bandwidth, spin state behavior, and relaxation times may indicate structural changes within water.
UV Absorption (Non-Visible Spectrum)
Changes in absorption patterns may suggest altered water behavior or structural response.
High-Sensitivity Thermal Imaging
Shifts in polarization and thermal gradient expression may reflect changes in macro-scale water dynamics.
Crystal Microscopy Analysis
Differences in dendritic growth patterns—such as right-angle versus radial formations—have been correlated with changes in water quality under repeatable observation.
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
The observation of soft solid H₂O structures at room temperature has suggested the possibility of phase and structural complexity beyond conventional assumptions.
Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV)
High-voltage dielectric imaging has been used to observe shifts in electrical behavior and energetic response in water.
A Higher Standard of Water
Functional water is not created through one method alone.
It is the result of thoughtful refinement—through purity, coherence, mineral balance, and intelligent observation.
Because water is not simply something we consume.
It is something we live within.
And the more we elevate it, the more everything it touches may be elevated as well.
