Water, But Better

We drink it every day. But how often do we actually think about the water itself? In this short introduction, I explore some of the things that first made me look at water differently: what's actually in the water we drink, what electrolysis does, why molecular hydrogen has attracted scientific interest, and how one water ioniser can produce different types of water for different everyday uses. No chemistry degree required. Just 15 minutes and a little curiosity.
