Ionizer Electrolysis

can i use any type of metal for electrolysis?

hi

im building my own water ionizer, but in the expensive models the y use Titanium dipped in Platinum electrodes. I cannot afford these items. So i was wondering what other, cheaper metals I could use?

thanks

The only types of metals that work as electrodes are those which are good conductors of electricity:
Silver
Copper
Titanium
Aluminium
These are the most commonly used metals and obviously copper and aluminium would be the most affordable ones.

However there is a matherial that conducts withought being a metal.
Carbon
Therefore a very affordable electorde which will work very well is a lump of graphite or charcoal. **But with graphite dont over-do the voltage because it can break down and make the solution turn black which isnt very usedful.
