The KYK Genesis Water Ionizer Just Tested Against the Enagic in What is Probably the Worst Water in the Country [Houston Texas] and guess what the results were?

The KYK Genesis 3000 water ionizer [KYK's newest 7-plate water ionizer model] beat the Enagic [Kangen Water®] water ionizer 

…by “about half a point higher pH and more than 100 points stronger -ORP.  Plus the KYK Genesis offers two multistage filters to Enagic’s one single stage filter” [quote by Alderin Ordell, president of KYK's Water for Life].

I wouldn’t tend to just believe statements made by owners of companies, except for one thing…I have personally seen this myself. The KYK does beat the Enagic in the drinking quality of water [level of ORP per unit of pH] in the tests I’ve seen and done myself personally. The KYK Genesis 3000 is a design of the Director of Water Science and Research Center in Korea: Kim Young Kwi.  Dr. Kwi’s water ionizer has won the grand prize award from the National Convention of Science and Technology in Korea as well as numerous other prizes related to water ionizers.

The KYK Genesis 3000 7-plate water ionizer [KYK's newest and best model] is now on sale through Monday only for a full 15% off the already reduced price.

That means you can get an award winning KYK Genesis 3000 with 7 platinum coated slotted plates for only $1440.75! Hurry! Sale ends Monday, Nov. 30th at midnight!

Water Ionizer News Flash! About a week ago I saw the best [lowest] acid water ever!

It was when Ronnie [from Chanson USA] and I were testing the Chanson VS70 water ionizer for its lowest acid water. Normally Ronnie just runs the Chanson water ionizers at full flow and gets around a 2.7 low acid pH. Actually that’s incredible considering how fast the flow rate was! But last week Ronnie asked me if I wanted to see how low the chanson water ionizer’s acid water could get. [I thought I had seen the lowest]. So of course I said, “Yes!” Then Ronnie slowed down the rate of flow on the VS70 water ionizer and my pH meter had it reading at 2.2 acidity. Ronnie’s meter [which was just calibrated that morning] had the pH level at 1.89! I can tell you that I was spellbound! I don’t know how the Chanson ionizer is able to get that low of an acidity, but for anyone who is looking for getting the lowest acid water possible I definitely recommend it.

The Water Ionizer With a Mineral Port Has an Extra Benefit!

Ronnie did say that the source water of where they’re located has a lot to do with the ability to get that low of a pH. There’s a lot of saline in their water. For people living in other locations, there is a mineral port in the Chanson Water ionizer that allows you to add Himilayan rock salt to the water prior to ionization. You would only do this once a month at most, according to Ronnie. He said the salt can be added only to pour the high alkaline/low acid water then removed from the mineral basket immediately after. His reasoning for this caution was that salt can harm the water ionizer if left in there for a long period. Acid water will be good for up to 90 days, according to Ronnie. So there should be no need to do this “low acid water making routine” too often anyway. For the most part, beauty water [skin toner] and plant water is best gotten from the acid water coming out of the bottom hose when you’re pouring your drinking level alkaline ionized water. You wouldn’t use the disinfectent levels of acid water on your body unless it was for a cut, infection or maybe a mouth wash.

Calcium is also a very popular thing to add to your source water and can be done easily if your water ionizer has a mineral port. Never add table salt or powdered calcium…only slow-disolving chunks or beads [like the bulk coral calcium I sell in my Alkaline Water Plus online store]. Coral calcium assists in ionizing water at drinking levels, but to get the strongest alkaline/acid levels [for cleaning, grease-cutting, stain-removing and disinfecting purposes] the addition of rock salt to the mineral port is probably going to work best.

Don’t forget to check your water ionizer’s instruction manual to ensure you’re not voiding any warranty before adding rock salt to your mineral basket. The only two water ionizers that have mineral ports and baskets that I know of are the Chanson water ionizers and the Jupiter water ionizers. I know you are within your warranty with Chanson to occasionally add the rock salt to get your low acid water [around once a month] just as long as you don’t leave the salt in there when you’re done, and I’m pretty sure the same would be true for Jupiter.

This is a fictitious letter, listing everything we’d love to see in a perfect water ionizer. We’d love it if a water ionizer would live up to all of our expectations! We do have some water ionizers which come very close though. Read on to see which and why. 

Dear Water Ionizer Manufacturer:

I am interested in becoming an exclusive USA distributor for a perfect water ionizer. When I say perfect, I mean perfect in every way. Here are my specifications:

A Wish-List for a Perfect Water Ionizer:

We, we will be very meticulous in choosing the right water ionizer to represent. We insist that this water ionizer has the following:

• is manufactured with UL, ISO and CE standards and we will want proof that your water ionizers are built to the standards we have agreed upon [which the ISO, CE and UL certificates will help to do]. We will visit the factory regularly to make sure the standards are met perfectly.
• the electrodes are platinum coated titanium plates in which the plates are coated AFTER all cutting is done and the coating is applied and baked to the standards of a sufficient thickness to last a lifetime.
• the filters must be able to filter out fluoride, chlorine, chloramine, arsenic, lead, and all other common contaminants and be certified as safe filters. We will want certified independent laboratory proof that the filters do this — we will not just take your word for it. We will want to offer a lifetime warranty on these water ionizers and will want assurances that the water ionizer we choose will perform well for this time period. I
• the water ionizer we choose will have to test well [with a comparible or better pH and ORP to the other water ionizers we sell]. So whether the design has mesh or solid plates or whatever the number and size of plates it has — we insist it tests the best.
• we insist on is that the water ionizer we choose has an automatic self-cleaning of the electrode plates without stopping the water-flow production [in other words a system similar to the Jupiter models' DARC system].
• the water ionizer we choose will have to look nice in the kitchen and be a reasonable size [similar to the other water ionizers we sell].
• this water ionizer will have to have the capability to regulate water flow and turn water on/off via a dial or knob on the water ionizer itself, so that it can be hooked up to the main water line.
• we’d like to be able to produce 30 gallons [@9.5 pH with a -400 or better ORP] per day of ionized water with this water ionizer
• it must come with stainless steel diverters that can hook up to a faucet [and have adapters so that the most common faucets are easily adapted to fit the provided adapters. In addition it must have included a fitting that will allow the direct water-pipe connection giving the customer all he/she needs to choose either option for water supply connection.
• it must come with 1/4 inch food-grade water input hose at least 4' in length to accommodate the easy installation for the customer and we prefer a 1/2 inch grey rubber acid water drain hose, because it rests better on the sink.
• we would like a suction-cup attachment to the bottom of the acid water hose which keeps the acid water hose out of the way of the dishwater in the sink.
• this water ionizer must be easy to use and come with an easy to read manual and installation DVD, so there are no questions or confusions about how to set up and operate the water ionizer.
• the warranty card and other contact information also must be to our specifications and included in the kit.
• this perfect water ionizer needs to be packed in a box that has Styrofoam fitted to the form of the water ionizer and all of its parts, so as to ensure it will withstand the potentially rough handling of shipping. Also, it should include a pH testing kit.
• the water ionizer should also include pH & ORP meters which show the actual pH and ORP of the water output. In addition whatever instructions to keep the meters clean and stored properly should be included too. [This option can come separately at an extra price for those who want it]
• we’d like a calcium insert basket, like the Jupiter water ionizers have, as part of the design of the water ionizer, because some customers living in soft-water areas have been able to use this instead of having to put a remineralizer & housing in their water ionizer input line.
• we’d like a saline port, like the Enagic has, so customers who want the strongest acid are able to get it.

We will want to sell these at a reasonable price. We want to try to keep the price down around $1500. We want the best though, so we’ll need an engineer working on this who has ingenious capabilities and who has a mind for economy, luxury and excellence all in one design.

We will look forward to your speedy response. In the meantime, we do have several practically perfect water ionizers now, so you should be aware we are very picky.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Cathleen LoGrasso

This was a ficticious letter, but we’d welcome a reply from a real manufacturer who could live up to our perfect expectations. Most water ionizer manufacturers wouldn’t and couldn’t live up to these standards. What I was asking for costs a lot of money to do!

First of all, the platinum alone is going for $1350.00 per ounce right now! I’m asking to have the plates at least double-coated with pure platinum!  Manufacturers who cut corners on this [by using platinum alloys] are sprouting up all over. It’s not safe to substitute platinum for a platinum alloy. The platinum alloy may be safe for many years, but will eventually break down and the alloying metals will potentially leach into your water as well as exposing the titanium to your water-flow. The main point I’m making here is…

You just can’t cut corners on the platinum!

Actually, I can afford to be picky in my water ionizer standards, because…

I already offer nearly all of the things on my Wish-List for a Perfect Water Ionizer !

… with the Jupiter Melody and Jupiter Athena water ionizers! Most of my other water ionizers also are close to this good as well. If you read my letter [above] you will see everything that comes standard with the Jupiter Melody and Jupiter Athena water ionizers. 

If you’re considering the purchase of a water ionizer you are making a wise choice!

I spent the morning at the Chanson water ionizer company testing the Chanson Miracle and Chanson VS 70 water ionizers against the Jupiter Melody water ionizer. Here are the videos:

In this 2nd video [above] you can also see a demo of the G2 Faucet!

What are the conclusions? These are all three good water ionizers! I figured they’d all test out great. I already knew from watching Ronnie test the VS 70 that the Chanson acid water was going to test out so low. I’ve never seen the Miracle actually tested before, so this was nice to know that it gets such a great low-acid as well. A 3.0 acid level is fantastic in my eyes…and the other pH tester showed it down to about 2.7 on the VS70! At that low-acid level you could definitely kill germs. According to Nedalee the tests are in and the low-acid water from the Chanson water ionizers are killing staff and e-coli. The next test they’re going to do is for salmonella. 

I was very happy for the experience of going to the Chanson water ionizer company! The Chanson company is new to the US, but they’ve been making water ionizers for a long time in Taiwan. They are state-of-the-art water ionizers and the compact size is quite an advantage if space is an issue for you. These tiny water ionizers have 7 plates in them and the power gets up to 150w [which is as high as it needs to get.]

I’m re-posting this because my wrist, which broke a year ago, is feeling better after wearing my new Negative Ion gloves…I wanted to alert and update people to this interesting new healing fabric: Negative Ion Fabric [or otherwise known as Nefful]! After a year of stiffness and some numbness in the area of a break to my wrist, I am happy to feel some more pliability come back to this area. My ultimate goal is a full return of sensation and flexibility to the area, and an elimination of all stiffness. It’s only been 3 weeks, so this is good progress. I’ll continue to keep you posted as time goes on. 

I actually have felt it helped my wrist so much that I’m getting my husband some negative ion socks for Christmas. He’s had a sore heal [causing him great pain at times] for over a year. I hope the negative ion [Nefful] socks help! I’ll keep you posted!

If you’re interested in getting more information sent to you about the negative ion clothing or talking with me personally about it, please contact me: support@alkaline-water-plus.info or 1-888-MY-ALKALINE.

The Value of Negative ORP, Water Ionizers & Nefful Clothing to Your Health

I’m trying a new product, which has a high potential for me to sell on my website [in my Other Products section], because it’s related to ionized water. It’s called Nefful Clothing. You can find out more about this clothing at http://www.neffulusa.com/. Here’s a chart comparing the benefits of both water ionizers and Nefful Clothing.

So, what’s the relationship between a water ionizer and Nefful clothing? Both provide your body with negative ions, which are healthy for your body.

Here’s how I’m using the Nefful clothing myself. I broke by wrist a year ago, and it is still kind of stiff and a little numb in the area. I bought some Nefful wrist-band/gloves and in wearing these I’m hoping to provide more negative ions to the area of my wrist and thus help it to loosen up and feel better. So far I can say my wrist feels better when I’m wearing these. I’ve only been wearing these Nefful gloves for a few days, so it’s probably too soon to evaluate. The numbness and stiffness are still there, but seem reduced.

I also do a lot of work on the computer and my fingers and hands do not like the effect of the positive ions bombarding them. For the past three days I’ve been wearing the Nefful gloves [mainly to see if it would help my wrist]. I have noticed my wrist feels better, but also as a side benefit I noticed that my hands don’t feel bombarded when I’m on the computer as long as I’m wearing the Nefful gloves. I think I’m not going to want to part with these Nefful gloves [so I better get another pair], because I’ll need to wash these and I just hate to part with them for even a few hours. Here’s a video of me with my Nefful gloves.

Would I suggest one over the other [water ionizer vs Nefful]? Yes, if you are short on cash, start with the water ionizer. A water ionizer is going to do more than just provide your body with negative ions. Your body is made mostly of water, and so it is important that your water source is a healthy one. The right filtration, pH and ORP are all equally important to your health. A water ionizer will last 20 years or so, and when you break it all down it is an inexpensive way to provide yourself and family with what I’ve found to be the most awesome preventative health benefits around.

From what I can see, it looks like the Nefful clothing is a nice addition to a health-conscious line-up of preventative health measures. It is expensive though. If money is no issue, I’d of course suggest both. Try the Nefful. I’m trying it. It feels good to wear.

I have signed up as a Nefful dealer, and because of that I’m able to get a 20% discount on my purchases. Of course, being an MLM, there are all kinds of dreams of making mega-bucks with this clothing line, but for me, I’m just happy with my 20% discount. If you are interested in signing up as a Nefful distributor, call or email me and I’ll get you started…or at least get you more information. Or if you just want to purchase something, contact me and I can get it to you.

I’ll keep you posted from time to time about how the Nefful gloves are helping my wrist and/or anything else that I learn about this interesting material as time goes on.

All quality water ionizers use platinum coated titanium plates.

Is titanium needed in a water ionizer electrode? And Why?

Titanium is a very hard, heat-resistant, non-magnetic, durable metal and it’s also abundant on this planet. So, it’s the perfect choice for use in a water ionizer.

Is the use of titanium electrodes in a water ionizer safe?

Yes, titanium is non-soluble and stable in water. It will last for many years [20, 30 or more] without corroding. Its durability, strength, and non-toxicity make it the choice of material to doctors and medical scientists use for their implanted medical devices such as artificial joints and pacemakers. Also, because it’s so durable and non-magnetic it makes it the best choice of metal to construct a water ionizer electrode with. And, as a side-benefit, it’s cheap.

What if a little gets into the water you drink?

It won’t, because it’s stable and insoluble, also the titanium plates are completely coated with platinum, but even in the odd event it did get into the water, the human body doesn’t react to Titanium as a poison. The body can tolerate high doses before any toxicity would occur and it doesn’t accumulate. Plus, remember, if people have titanium placed in their bodies by doctors [artificial joints, pins, rods, pacemakers] I’d say that indicates a high level of safety has been determined for this material.

For those wanting a more in-depth explanation of titanium’s properties here’s a good link: http://www.lenntech.com/periodic/water/titanium/titanium-and-water.htm

If it’s safe, then why is platinum needed to coat the electrodes?

Platinum is a catalyst, and is needed to speed up the electrolysis. With the water ionizers changing [electrolyzing] the water so drastically just by passing the water over the electrodes, the ionization process wouldn’t occur without a “speeder-upper”. That’s platinum. 

Side Note:

Why are Enagic Dealers Saying that other Water Ionizers have titanium plates which will corrode, leach into your water and poison you?

They are misinformed. Plus they may find it convenient to scare people into thinking they have the only water ionizer that meets safety standards. It obviously works as a sales technique. Look at how many Enagic reps are saying this. They have been sold on this idea. This simply is not true though. It’s a sales technique which I find very suspicious, and I will continue to look into and debunk all the Enagic scare tactics that are unfair and untrue.

A lot of people love having their water ionizer right there on the counter-top, but don’t like the hoses showingl. The G2 Faucet has a luxurious look to it, and for only $120.00 you can have this on your sink.

The G2 Faucet works as a hose attachment port. Instead of hoses going here, there and everywhere, you simply attach your two [water input and acid water output] hoses to the back of the G2 Faucet. Then you can turn on your water supply to your water ionizer right there at that faucet. Also, the acid water from your water ionizer dispenses from the spout of the G2 Faucet.

The G2 Faucet is attractive, easy to use and inexpensive! It can be used with any countertop water ionizer. The G2 Faucet can be used with Life, Enagic, Jupiter, Chanson, Tyent, and KYK water ionizers, and it makes a very luxurious addition to your water ionizer set-up.

Here are some videos showing the G2 Faucet:

Cancer & Disease

Most Researchers Will Agree that Diseases are Preventable. You do NOT have to become a Statistic!

 Dr. Otto Warberg (Nobel Prize Winner, 1932) stated that “Cancer is caused by the lack of oxygen and the fermentation of sugars.” This is due to a low pH acidic environment.

Believe it or not, the kind of water you drink could be the single most important measure you could take to prevent a multitude of diseases. The water I’m referring to is Alkaline Ionized Water. By drinking alkaline, ionized water, you can help counteract the acids in the foods and drinks you consume. By having more balancing pH buffers within your body, you can then increase your chances for maintaining optimal health.

Every day people drinking alkaline ionized water are changing their lives! They’re slowing down the aging process, promoting healthy weight loss, detoxifying their bodies, boosting immunity against disease and increasing the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals!

The benefits of reducing your body’s acidity has long been recognized in the medical profession even in the United States. Researchers believe that disease is caused by excess acidity in our cells which weakens all body systems. Caused by our high stress lifestyles, diets and pollutants, it affects virtually everyone. Excess body acidity forces the body to rob minerals [calcium and magnesium] from the body’s reserves in the bones and joints. Once the body’s reserves are depleted the body is vulnerable to bone density loss, heartburn, indigestion …68 conditions in all. A healthy body has sufficient alkaline reserves to balance itself.

Alkaline ionized water is possibly more powerful of an anti-oxidant than any single food or vitamin supplement, because it contains active hydrogen which supplies huge amounts of extra electrons to your body.

Why are antioxidants so important? Charged atoms called “free radicals” damage healthy cells, causing the process of oxidation. It’s what makes cut apples turn brown and iron rust. Researchers believe free radical damage plays a major role in heart disease, premature aging, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and many more.Antioxidants stop oxidation. There is clear evidence that they counter-act the onset of degenerative disease.

What is all the fuss over drinking lots of water daily? For starters, our bodies are 2/3 water. Dehydration is a factor in many major health problems. Common effects of dehydration can include: low energy, migraines, type II diabetes, hypertension, weight gain, low back pain and colon problems.

This powerful alkalizing, anti-oxidant water provides superior hydration to your cells. Dehydration usually appears to be something else and is treated with drugs instead of water. Proper hydration is critical to good health and vitality. Alkaline ionized water filters [water ionizers] reduce the size of the water molecule clusters, resulting in significantly more hydration per glass.

America is #1…for Colon Cancer and Disease!

This is an area where one does NOT want to come in at first place. Sadly though, recent statistics reveal that at least half of all Americans are suffering from 1-5 chronic illnesses. This alarming situation is largely due in part to the Western diet that full of acidic foods and beverages.

This video examines the colons [through colonoscopies] showing before and after drinking alkaline ionized water and eating a prescribed alkaline rich diet.  

Here are some more facts that are sure to get your attention:

• Cases of Colon Disease have never been more Prevalent. According to the highly reputable Merck Manual, colon degeneration and disease is on the rise. More specifically, the incidence of diverticulosis, a type of hernia, has increased dramatically over the past 40 years. In 1950, only 10% of Americans had this disease, but that number had already grown to nearly 50% by 1987.
• Colon Cancer Kills 400% more People than AIDS. It also kills even more American men and women than breast and prostate cancer.
• Just this year alone, 60,000 Americans will Die from Colon-Rectal Cancer. An additional 125,000 cases of the disease will be diagnosed, as well.
• Up to Half of All Americans have Polyps in their Colon. The majority of these polyps will eventually mutate into malignant cancer tumors.
• It is widely recognized in the medical profession that a healthy & clean colon is one of the most important precursors to good health and that the great majority of body ailments and diseases originate in an acidic and dirty colon.

You have a Choice – You do NOT have to become a Statistic!

Some of the popular uses for a water ionizer are:

• Medium Alkaline Water: Used for drinking, cooking and obtaining the health benefits described above.
• Strong Alkaline Water: Used for cleaning pesticides off of fresh vegetables. Also, with grease-cutting properties strong alkaline water can be used as a mild chemical-free detergent for your fine clothing. It even will break up stubborn stains.
• Medium Acid Water:Used as natural a skin toner. Also used as final rinse water for your hair [to add that extra bounce and shine to your hair]. Also used to water plants [plants love this!]
• Strong Acid Water: Used for killing germs on contact

I recorded these videos a week ago when I was getting ready to bring my Melody water ionizer to California with me [to give to one of my sons]. This series is a tribute to this fantastic water ionizer , the Jupiter Melody Water Ionizer, which my family and I have been enjoying for about the past year. I’ve decided to do one last series of comparison tests, because it may be a while before I get to test the Melody against the KYK, Athena and Tyent again. In this series, I’ve tested Level 3 and Level 4 of the Melody vs. Tyent water ionizers; the Melody vs. KYK water ionizers; and the Melody vs. Athena water ionizers. What’s amazing is how well the Melody has done in comparison with these other great water ionizers. The Melody @1495.00 is less expensive than the other three water ionizers AND has a lifetime warranty. It’s also made by one of the oldest & most trusted names in water ionizers…Jupiter! Also, no matter which is your personal choice of water ionizer …for a limited time, if you mention this blog post, I’ll give you $100.00 off your purchase price for a brand new Water Ionizer! Wow! What a bargain! Here are the videos:

Melody vs Tyent Water Ionizers 

Melody vs KYK Water Ionizers 

Water Ionizer	PH	ORP	Comment
Melody Level	10.4	-390
Melody Level 4	11	-410	A Little Better
Melody Low Acid	3.4		A Little Better
KYK Level 3	10.0	-428	A Little Better
KYK Level 4	10.0	-474
KYK Low Acid	4.0

Melody vs. Athena Water Ionizers

Water Ionizer	PH	ORP	Comment
Melody Level 3	9.7	-366	A Little Better
Melody Level 4	11	-328
Melody Low Acid	3.1		A Little Better
Athena Level 3	11	-358
Athena Level 4	11.1	-360	A Little Better
Athena Low Acid	3.9

As you can see [above] the Melody tests right up there with the more expensive water ionizers. I would not hesitate to recommend a Melody water ionizer to anyone looking for a great water ionizer. My personal opinion is that the Melody is better than the Enagic, and if I had the equal option to have and use either one, I’d choose the Melody!
