New and Improved Water Ionizer Comparison Chart

As some of you might have noticed we have recently updated our water ionizer comparison chart. The new and improved Alkaline Water Plus Water Ionizer Comparison Chart includes many common questions about the various water ionizers that are regularly asked by water ionizer customers. This chart is made for YOU, to enable you to make a water ionizer choice that you are happy with. After all we are very motivated to ensure our customers are very happy. For one, we’re trying to help you, but because we pay your restocking fee, if you’re not happy with your water ionizer purchase it’s in our financial best interest as well to make sure you are satisfied with your water ionizer once you get it.

In this video I give a thorough and clear overview of the comparison chart. I clarify most if not all questions you might have concerning the water ionizer comparisons being made in each section of the chart. I also give insight into the key points that water ionizer customers would or should be looking for in any water ionizer they’re going to buy.

Before startiing the video I suggest you click this link to pop up a new window with the new and improved Alkaline Water Plus Water Ionizer Comparison Chart on it. http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/water-ionizer-comparisons. You can then read the chart and follow along with the video.

Keep in mind that I don’t sell the Enagic water ionizer at Alkaline Water Plus. I do sell all other water ionizers featured on this chart. I only include the Enagic water ionizer for comparison purposes.

Some Key Things to Pay Attention to When Thinking About Getting a Water Ionizer are:

How Thoroughly is the Water Ionizer Ionizing the Water at Drinking Levels? [ORP at the Lower Levels]

ORP Per Unit of pH: ORP [antioxidant levels] in water is an important water ionizer comparison feature. At an 11 pH, though, the ORP is irrelevant, because it is too high of a pH to drink. Regardless of this fact, most water ionizer comparison tests are done at the highest settings for each water ionizer. Alkaline Water Plus believes that the ORP should be tested and compared at each level of pH, especially the lower levels. That way the various drinking levels of ionized water are checked for their ORP levels. Some water ionizers are great at getting a good ORP at their highest settings [such as the Enagic] and not at the lower [drinking level] pH settings.

Do the Water Ionizer’s Plates and Electrolysis Chamber Design DO the JOB?

Plate Design Quality: Many water ionizer companies brag about the size of their plates and/or number of electrodes in their water ionizer brand, when the real test of quality in a water ionizer is the ORP per unit of pH [as described above], and that has more to do with the efficient use of electricity than the plate size or quantity. It’s not particularly good to put too much electricity through your plates, however whenever you increase the size or mass that the electricity must go through, it requires more power to do it.

How Well Will the Water Ionizer Perform into the Future?

Plate Cleaning Quality: Very clean platinum coated plates are very important to any water ionizer design. What happens in a water ionizer is the hard minerals in the water want to stick to the plates in the alkaline side of the water cell. Continuous cleaning is the best design for a water ionizer, because it keeps any hard minerals off the electrodes. Platinum is necessary for efficient electrolysis. It catalyzes it [speeds it up]. If the plates are continuously cleaned, the platinum can then touch the water and do its job of catalyzing [speeding up and making more thorough] electrolysis.Mesh plate designs on a water ionizer is a newer, more efficient design, but beware of any water ionizer which does not have continuous cleaning [in which case the mesh would be a bad idea, because there would be more grooves for hard minerals to clog up.]

How Well will the Water Ionizer Clean the Water?

Overall Filtration Quality: With all of the junk in our US water today it is an important feature that every water ionizer offers pretty good to great filtration. Chlorine, for instance, is filtered out by every water ionizer I sell. Some water ionizers, however, offer better filtration than the others. A good example is the Jupiter Biostone Plus filter, which has over 9 layers of filtration with sophisticated [and expensive I might add] filter media which gets out tricky things, such as chloramine [a compound of chlorine plus amonia...very hard to filter out], fluoride [which reports are coming in droves of the health risks of consuming fluoride] and pharmaceuticals [

As you can see this chart is very comprehensive and thorough. Keep in mind that we, at Alkaline Water Plus, are REALLY testing each water ionizer. We are not a fake water ionizer review site. Each point on the new water ionizer comparison chart is something important for a water ionizer customer to know, especially the above four points, which I think are the qualities most important to look for in a water ionizer.

After over 16 years of drinking alkaline ionized water, I can say with conviction that the very best thing I could give to myself or a loved one is a WATER IONIZER! Give yourself and your family the gift of health this year!

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!

It is rare that you will ever see the Enagic water ionizer in a comparison water ionizer test. Most Enagic dealers are reluctant to even want to see comparison testing. So I feel priveledged to bring these videos to you.

We tested and compared the Enagic SD 501, the Melody, the Athena, the Tyent Turbo, & the KYK Genesis 7-Plate water ionizers!

Throughout this testing there was an overall trend toward the…

Enagic not having the best quality of drinking water, but having a better ability to get the highest/lowest pH for non-drinking water [used for cleaning]. 

*See below for a good explanation of how the best quality of drinking water  for water ionizers is determined. 

I couldn’t test them all at once, so I split the testing up into two groups of three water ionizers. Each group was focused on testing two water ionizers against the Enagic [since I don't often get a chance to test the Enagic, I wanted to make sure all four of my water ionizers had a chance to be tested with the Enagic].

I’ve highlighted in red the winning water ionizer score from each group of tests. Please note: You can’t very well compare a water ionizer from group 1 to group 2, unfortunately, because of too many variables, but if you look at the Enagic as the focal point you can get an idea of how they compare. 

Comparing the Enagic, Athena, Melody, Tyent & KYK Water Ionizers

Level 3 – Drinking Water

Group 1: the Enagic, Tyent & KYK @ Level 3 or Kangen Water 9.5

Group 2: the Enagic, Athena & Melody @ Level 3 or Kangen Water 9.5

Level 3 – Drinking Water [Cathie’s Analysis]: In the above video and chart for Ionized Water at Level 3 it can be seen that the winner for healthiest [rH] drinking water [ionized water at Level 3 for Group 1 is the Tyent, and for Group 2 it’s the Athena. The 11.05 pH, however, is probably too high to drink for most people.

Level  4 – The Extremes

Group 1: Enagic, Tyent & KYK @ Level 4 or Strongest Level

Group 2: Enagic, Athena & Melody Level 4 or Strongest Level

Level 4: You can see in the above video and charts that the Enagic for these tests is getting the  “Low Acid”  in both videos and the Enagic gets the “High Alkaline” in the 2^nd video [with the Tyent beating the Enagic in Highest Alkaline in the 1^st video]

Level 2 – Drinking Water

Group 1: Enagic, Tyent & KYK Level 2 or Kangen Water 9.0

Group 2: Athena & Melody Level 2 or Kangen Water 9.0

Level 2: Please Note: Unfortunately the battery ran out at the end, so we tested Group 1 on Levels 2 and 1 off-video and have the results here. We were using a faster flow rate. As the testing went on, the Enagic would not accept slow flow rates and the voice would tell us to increase the flow rate. We increased it for the three we were testing at the time. You can see that flow rate makes a big difference in the outcome of the testing, and because of that we really can’t compare the ionizers using one flow rate with the ones using another. This is a good example of how tricky this testing is!

In this group of tests the Tyent wins for best rH in Group 1 and the Athena wins for Group 2’s best rH at drinking water Level 2

Level 1 – Intro-Level Water

Group 1: Enagic, Tyent & KYK Level 1 or Kangen Water 8.5

Group 2: Enagic, Athena & Melody Level 1 or Kangen Water 8.5

Level 1: Please Note: Unfortunately the battery ran out at the end, so we tested Group 1 on Levels 2 and 1 off-video and have the results here. We were using a faster flow rate. As the testing went on, the Enagic would not accept slow flow rates and the voice would tell us to increase the flow rate. We increased it for the three we were testing at the time. You can see that flow rate makes a big difference in the outcome of the testing, and because of that we really can’t compare the ionizers using one flow rate with the ones using another. This is a good example of how tricky this testing is!

In this group of tests, the Enagic wins for best rH in Group 1 and the Athena wins for Group 2’s best rH at drinking water level 1.

One Day Later:

After 20 hours: After 20 hours of storing the Level 3 ionized water from Group 1 [above] the following videos were done. This video shows how all of the water ionizers lost a great deal of ORP in just 20 hours.

    Group 1: Enagic, Tyent & KYK

[Level 3 Stored/Refrigerated for 20 Hours]

[Reference to video, above] How did you like that container I showed you at the end of that last video? I think I might start selling those on my website…they’re so cool!

If you have ever heard that Enagic, Kangen Water, stores better or longer than the other ionized water, I’d say this video debunks that.

Note: These water ionizer comparison tests were conducted in St. Peters, MO, which has a tap water which is 8.46 pH and +195 ORP
*The rH of a solution is based on a formula applied to the pH and ORP to arrive at the relation between the level of ORP to the level of pH. It is the best measure of the healthiness of that ionized water. I always consider the rH to be the most important measure to look at in any water ionizer comparison test.

• Here’s an example: if you have two water ionizers producing water at a pH of 9.5, and one has an ORP of -300 and the other has an ORP of -400, then the one with -400 is producing water at a healthier overall quality. Most people testing water ionizers don’t get the exact same pH readings for all the water ionizers tested. So the rH formula is necessary to really see which water ionizer is producing the healthier water. The formula is a very simple one, and anyone comparing water ionizers should look at the rH of the water at the drinking water levels if they are trying to figure out which water ionizer is best. Because ORP is a very tricky measure to get and ORP meters can vary from test to test [depending on how well or frequently they're cleaned, source water and other factors] it’s important to only compare the ORP or rH of water ionizers tested in one setting by the same tester. RH is measured on a scale of 0 to 42, with 0 being the healthiest and 42 the unhealthiest. Tap water in St. Louis is usually around 30 – 35 rH. Any water under 28 rH is considered “reducing” and so is healthy for you.
• “The relative hydrogen scale was first proposed by Clark in 1923 to the scientific community (mostly inorganic chemists) as a means of measuring the true reducing power of hydrogen present in an aqueous solution…”* Go to this website to see this article and get a more thorough and scientific explanation of rH: http://h-minus-ion.vpinf.com/rH-score-1.html

Here are some more water ionizer testimonials! I just came across these. They’re audio testimonials from people drinking ionized water from Enagic [Kangen Water] water ionizers

Fantastic Water Ionizer [also called Kangen Water] Testimonials!

CP 5-7-09
CP is a stage 4 cancer survivor, who was diagnosed 10 years ago with breast cancer and had an aggressive treatment for it at the time. Then a year later had another bout of breast cancer and had more chemo, and then 4 years after that it had spread. She started the chemo treatments back up, but because it was taking longer and longer for her to recover from each treatment, and it was making her too sick to function, she quit the treatments. Then 2 months later she discovered Kangen water [the Enagic term for ionized water].

She felt tired all the time and everything hurt prior to drinking Kangen water.

• Here’s what happened after drinking Kangen [ionized] water:
• constipation stopped
• blood pressure lowered
• no more sugar cravings
• felt 20 yrs youngerlot of energy
• MRI & scans are showing up nothing so far!

G: 2-12-09
Last year in Nov…G had a tumor in his jaw. He underwent traditional radiation treatments & surgery. Then a few weeks later some lymph nodes had spots cancer in them … so had more radiation on them. As a result, G had a lot of ulcers & sores in mouth, loss of taste & lot of discomfort. When he started drinking ionized water [Kangen water] here’s what he did:

• He sprayed 11.5 pH water on the sores
• He drank 8.5 water

In amazement to the doctor, in about three days the ulcers were just about completely gone. However after a few weeks some of the cancers returned, and he continued the treatments.

So he continued drinking the water and in addition went to the full 33 treatments [completed last treatment]. Maintained weight and health all the way through the treatments, and didn’t even miss a day of work.

K: 07/08
K was a 25 year cancer survivor, but in 2006 had an onslaught of after effects including traditionally untreatable [due to her former extensive treatments] breast cancer, neuropathy, installed pacemaker, and was put on disability [virtually could do nothing and that would make her tired]. She started a natural treatment program including drinking ionized [Kangen] water.

K has been drinking Kangen water for a year.
Here’s what happened when she started drinking ionized [Kangen] water:
increased vitality
back to being able to do things
skin, hair, well-being returning to her

K’s Son: 07/08
K’s son has had a condition since birth of lymphatic malformation. He had sever excess fluids in chest and extreme learning disabilities. He drank the water for one week and she saw extreme benefits in his learning abilities. His story ideas were actually legible, and he was able to do math [when he couldn't do any math on his own before]. His chest fluids are now able to be maintained at normal acceptable levels now! He has no more acid reflux. He doesn’t need speech and occupational therapy anymore!

D: 05/08
D, an eleven year breast cancer survivor has used a combination of medical and natural treatments all these years. The pain re-appeared about 18 months ago, but the cancer was not showing up on scans. D was introduced just about that time to the ideas of pH and acidity and tested herself as acidic. So, she started drinking ionized [Kangen] water in Oct. ‘08 The pain went away in 3 weeks and has never returned.

DS 6/07
DS didn’t actually believe the stories about Kangen water, but brought some of the water to friend’s son who had lymphoma cancer. He thought if it helps Jason [his friend's son] then he’ll become a believer. His friend even bought a unit for Jason to get fresh water. When the cancer from Jason’s lips, nose and legs all started going away in two weeks of drinking the water, DS started becoming a believer. So he got his own machine. Here’s what has happened since then:

• His Mom’s arthritis is gone.
• His father can sleep now [had insomnia-hadn't slept well for years] &
• his father’s arthritis disappeared.

DS started to tell all neighbors. One lady next door had hepatitis C…gave her water and 3 days later she came to tell how great she felt [she demanded more water]…in few days after that she wanted her own machine.

E: 6/07
E had a family history of breast cancer, and she watched her aunts go through much struggle with surgery and treatments on their breast cancer. Because of this, she didn’t want this invasive surgery for her own cancerous tumor. So, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she called a friend who was into health and nutrition and he told her about Kangen [ionized] water. Started drinking 5 – 7 liters of the water per day and got her own water ionizer. Soon, she started to feel really good. Her surgery was postponed for a month so she could give this water a chance to work on its own. Her tumor had shrunk from 8cm to 2cm in that time. Two and ½ months later her tumor markers are all normal and she is essentially cured. She says, “The body will heal itself if it’s provided with the proper environment”.

M: 3/22/07
Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease started chemo, and it was so awful she stopped the treatment. She began a natural alternative treatment: she drank Kangen water and started eating alkaline to treat herself. She also read books and started filling her world with a positive attitude. After four months, she had another Kat scan and other tests which all verified that the lymphoma was completely gone.

I’m passing the time right now [I'm waiting for UPS to bring me the KYK Genesis 7-plate water ionizer that I plan to test this week] and I was thinking of something a customer asked me earlier today. She asked…

Do People Get the Same Kind of Great Benefits from the Melody, Tyent, KYK, Enagic or Life Water Ionizers?

There are many different water ionizers…do they all give great benefits [similar to the other water ionizers]? The answer is, “Yes.” From my personal observation and years of experience, a water ionizer is a water ionizer. It ionizes water…and ionized water has certain health benefits for people who drink it.

I’ve heard customers say some of the most fantastic things. It’s not only my Melody water ionizer customers, or my Tyent water ionizer customers….or Enagic, Life, KYK, Chanson. These are great testimonials from people who have bought any and all of these water ionizers.

For example, a lady who JUST STARTED drinking ionized water maybe 2 weeks ago told me it is helping with her allergies and sleep ALREADY and she made a big point to tell me she didn’t have to take alka seltzer anymore! She said she’s been taking alka seltzer for years at night because of heartburn. And since she started drinking ionized water she hasn’t had to do this!

Another example is this lady who bought an Athena water ionizer & she has a daughter who has been cured at this point from the same rash [extreme dry skin] condition that the babies on my research videos page had. Within just a few weeks her little baby girl was so much improved that it changed the family’s lives.

Another customer has had her new Tyent Turbo water ionizer now for a few weeks, and has noticed a difference in her asthma [seriously reduced wheezing].

Another customer who has been drinking ionized water from her new Melody water ionizer thanks me constantly [every few weeks] for giving her a payment plan to help her buy her new water ionizer. She doesn’t think she can live without it anymore…she just didn’t have any energy before [and now she does!] and she is energetically telling all her friends about it.

A lady I spoke with today, said that since she’s been drinking ionized water from her Chiropractor’s Enagic water ionizer, she has been feeling so much better! She sleeps better and has fewer aches and pains and things wrong with her digestive system. A different lady [same water ionizer] says after she started drinking “Kangen Water” she started urinating more…and with that came increased energy [every single time]!

A couple who bought the Chanson Miracle water ionizer are feeling healthy and energetic. They say they like the water very much!

My Life and KYK water ionzer customers are extremely satisfied too!

Those are just a few short testimonials that I’ve heard in the past couple of weeks. But I bring them up to make a point. People who are drinking ionized water [no matter which water ionizer they get it from] are having great health benefits! I have been collecting lots of testimonials on my website. So check it out!

Take it from someone who knows! After 17 years of drinking ionized water, I can definitely say that drinking ionized water is a very, very healthy thing to do!

Which Water Ionizer is Best? How Do the Melody, KYK, Life, Enagic, Chanson and Tyent 7070 Water Ionizers Compare?

I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to study and compare water ionizers for a long, long time now, and I’m going to share some insight with you along with my latest video comparing the Melody and Tyent 7070 water ionizers at the level 3 alkaline drinking water settings. I’ll follow this with comparing all the major water ionizers [briefly]: the Tyent, KYK, Melody, Athena, Chanson, Life, and Enagic.

For your benefit, I let the water ionizers flow for a minute or two before I started the video. I did this for three reasons: first I needed to get the water flow regulated so that the glasses were being filled at the same rate. This could impact the results, so I wanted to rule that out. Secondly I wanted to simulate frequent use and thirdly, I wanted to ensure that the level of water selected was in fact what was coming out of the water ionizer’s spout.

So here’s the video:

I flipped the tester back and forth to ensure my readings were correct and fairly stable. They were. The results are in the chart below. My interpretation of the results is this: these are both FANTASTIC WATER IONIZERS! Plain and simple. They are built differently, obviously, and by different companies, using different plates, different water cell designs, different power wattage, etc., however the designers must both be doing something right. The reason I say this is that the designers in both companies obviously know how to make water ionizers really well if they can get these results! These are far better results than I got with my old Japanese Ange water ionizer for 15 years. The differences in pH/ORP are negligible and the rH is slightly better in the Tyent, but really too close to really  say there’s much of a difference.

A similar thing happened to me when I compared the Melody and the Enagic water ionizers. Though they were built very differently, they were both obviously designed really well — because they tested out almost equal.

In video comparisons around the internet, I’ve noticed this about certain water ionizers that are often compared with each other [because they are evidently the most popular and reliably made water ionizers available in today's highly competitive water-ionizer market]: namely the Tyent, Life, Chanson, KYK, Melody and Athena water ionizers — they all test pretty close to each other in pH/ORP and when you do the rH calculation to determine the true healthiness of it…they really look close!

Well, that’s my take on it. Hope it helps!

Research shows that the consumption of alkaline ionized water reverses the acidity in the body tissues and organs which leads to disease and as such leads to reverse-aging. It is a well-known fact that diseased organs are acidic. Therefore, it follows that to reverse the acidity of the organs and tissues in the body could reverse the course of diseases.

 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.

Why does ionized water help the overall health of both animals and humans? There are several reasons:

• Alkaline ionized water is alkaline (obviously) and therefore enters more alkalinity into the body cells, tissues and organs. This allows the buffering effect to take place. This further allows toxins (acids) to leave the cells, tissues, and organs and be flushed out of the body. Thus, alkaline ionized water produces in the body a healthy state of slightly alkaline pH, and research shows that fungus, cancer and other disease pathogens do not thrive in an alkaline state, they do well in an acidic state.
• Alkaline ionized water, being water (and not having calories), does not require digestion, and thus bypasses the digestive system and goes straight to the cells, tissues and organs needing hydration. An example of this: If a person who is constipated is directed to drink 16 to 32 ounces of alkaline ionized water and wait about 20 minutes, they will see a dramatic effect in hydrating the tissues in the rectum which will in turn allow the elimination process to occur. 
• Alkaline Ionized water is reduced in cluster size to about half the size of what comes out of your tap. This contributes to the cells, tissues and organs ability to absorb that water and thus achieve the hydration needed to reverse the diseased condition.
• Alkaline ionized water is run through a sophisticated filter which removes the harmful chemicals and substances from the water, but allows the good minerals (such as calcium and magnesium) to pass through.
• Alkaline ionized water produced by a water ionizer which is certified (such as the Jupiter Melody, Enagic SD501 [Kangen Water], Tyent, Life, Athena, Delphi, KYK, or Chansen) will reduce the ORP of the water and thus your water will have an anti-oxidant effect in the body (in such a way as orange juice does).
• Alkaline ionized water has been reported as having a more pleasant taste and contributing to a refreshed feeling after drinking. Thus this water is more likely to be enjoyed by consumers.
• Alkaline ionized water is shown to be far superior to any other water, especially tap, reverse osmosis, or bottled waters. The alkaline ionized water is exclusively reported as having the qualities listed here, while other waters do not.
