Alkaline Water News [Water Wellness]

I did some intensive testing of two KYK Generation II Water Ionizers today. What happened is, I had two returned KYK Generation II water ionizers in a two-week period [extremely unusual] and wanted to find out what was going on with these water ionizers.

What I did find out was

…neither of the KYK GII water ionizers were programmed correctly.

Both Generation II water ionizers were putting out basically filtered water at levels one, two and three [in other words...not ionized water] and then strongest alkaline ionized water at level 4.  This initial testing and analyzing of the KYK GII water ionizer is all in the first video, below.

I proceeded to program the Generation II to what I thought was the best settings I had discovered when I re-programmed another Generation II water ionizer a short time earlier. I was sure that using the “already known” best St. Louis-source-water settings would do the trick. But what I discovered was this Generation II water ionizer’s programming was not producing like the other KYK G2 I programmed, so in other words,

…these KYK Generation II water ionizers were not performing reliably despite my hardest efforts.

In the following videos, you can see that I programmed, re-programmed and re-programmed some more until I finally found the right number to set each level at for optimum water ionization. [You can also see the results on the charts below the videos].

The bottom line is that I don’t see average customers being able to do what I did. First of all, average water ionizer customers don’t have ORP and pH meters. Secondly, if they did, it still wouldn’t mean they would be able to operate the ORP and pH meters proficiently. It took me over a year to develop my level of expertise in handling these meters. I’m afraid I have to advise you that…

KYK Generation II Water Ionizers are definitely not easy to use for the average consumer.

If you are considering a KYK G2, or if you are already a KYK G2 owner… I suggest that you call me for assistance in programming if you have any difficulty with this water ionizer.

Many customers think that the KYK Generation II water ionizer has a pH and ORP meter built in, because there are pH and ORP readings on the LCD display. However this is not so.

The KYK G2 display only shows estimates of what the pH and ORP will be at that level of power.

This is confusing to a lot of customers. KYK water ionizers are not the only water ionizers that show pH and ORP on their LCD screens. Plenty of others do this as well. Enagic shows pH estimations on their screen while a voice says “Kangen Water Level 8.5″ or similar statement. All this means in every single case is it’s an estimation. To get the exact information you would need a set of external meters.

There are a few other reasons I think the KYK Generation II water ionizer is difficult for the average customer. It has a computer chip in the filter, which has to be connected via wires from the water ionizer that end with a teeny-tiny plastic clip. I’ve posted a picture of this toward the bottom of this article. If I have trouble with removing or re-inserting these little clips then I know the average customer will too. Also the filters are hard to turn and remove, because there is such a tiny amount of room to get a good grip. Plus, when you lift them up, you need to be ready for a water-spill, since the water-line connects at the bottom of the filter.

Here’s the picture of the tiny little plastic alligator-clip [which you have to pinch and hold steady] that has to be inserted and removed with every filter-change form the KYK Generation II 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!

Wishing You Water Wellness!
Sincerely,
Cathie LoGrasso

I’ve been conducting some tests of the KYK Genesis 7-Plate Water Ionizer and have some more videos and charts to share with you. Click here to read my first videos & blog post, which is of Levels 1 - 3 [both alkaline and acid waters are tested].

In this video I just wanted to re-do the testing at level 3 for the KYK Genesis, because in my last videos…though the results were good for the Genesis, the Melody did equal…or maybe even a little better. This didn’t make sense to me [because the Melody only has 5 plates and the Genesis water ionizer has 7 plates. So, in this re-test, the KYK Genesis had about the same results as in the previous test. pH =  11.04 & ORP = -809.

Here I have another video showing the KYK Genesis water ionizer at levels 2, 3, and 4. The data found is reported in the chart below the video. I have to say I'm disapointed that the KYK Genesis does not have the cleaning cycle that I thought it had. I will have to double-check this with the technicians on Monday, but as you can see in the video, the Genesis water ionizer does go into an acid wash cleaning cycle which requires the user to wait while the water ionizer is cleaning itself. This is probably no big deal for most people, but I like it when I don't have to be inconvenienced with waiting for my water ionizer to clean itself. I think that when children are around [pouring their own water] it’s a good idea to have a water ionizer that cleans itself well without making you wait for an acid wash.

Here’s the Chart:

Water Ionizer Comparisons at Level 2, 3, & 4

My thoughts on this KYK Genesis water ionizer so far is that it has a fantastic rH [ORP for the level of pH] at levels 3 and 4. Why level one is not good, I’m not sure. I need to call the technicians anyway to find out why the literature says no waiting is needed for the Genesis water ionizer to clean itself but in fact you do have to wait for the traditional acid wash. I’ll fill you in on the answer to this when I find out. At the same time, I will find out if there are other settings I should have done in the set-up.

Overall, though, this is an awesome water ionizer, and I think it’s better than the Enagic. It appears to be about equal to the Tyent 7070 and Life 7600.

I will be doing more testing of the Enagic [who call themselves the Kangen Water Machine] as soon as I return to St. Louis on about the 1st of Sept. Next week I’ll share a little blurb about the KYK in Florida, and then I’ll do some extensive testing and comparisons of the KYK and Tyent Turbo in South Caronina. I can’t wait to see the differences with different source water! So stay tuned!
