Let’s take a close look at the Kangen Water System, the SD-501 water ionizer sold by Enagic USA corporation. This is their top of the line product, which costs an impressive $3980. It’s been out for a few years now, and the price has stayed the same, while other competitor companies have been releasing newer, updated models that produce better results. But we can claim all day that the Kangen Water System isn’t as strong as the others - let’s actually take a look at its three biggest drawbacks, and why some of them might actually leave you a little bit concerned…
The Kangen Water System Has Flat Plates
All the advanced machines today use plates that take advantage of either mesh or slotted plate technology. By breaking up the surface of the plates, the machines create a greater total surface area that comes in contact with the water, and thus filter more thoroughly.
To understand this concept, consider this: Would you rather run on a flat track, or on a track that requires you to run up and down a series of hills? Obviously, the flat track will be easier because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. The Kangen Water System offers water a flat track, whereas the more advanced machines require the water to run up and down the hills, for a more effective filtration.
The Kangen Water System Uses A Preservative Filter
Their filter contains the chemical “calcium sulfite” which is a common food preservative. Some people believe this chemical is bad for your health, and though we haven’t read anything conclusive, we prefer to stay away from most preservatives in general.
The Kangen Water System Uses An Undisclosed Chemical Solution
This is probably the worst part about their machine. In order for their machine to reach the pH levels they advertise, you have to insert a liquid that they call an “electrolysis enhancer” which has a warning label right on the bottle which states “Do Not Drink.” Uhhh… why would I put a substance I’m not supposed to drink into my water?
But it gets worse. They claim that the liquid is just a salt (saline) solution. However, when asked if salt water or homemade saline solutions would be acceptable replacements, they will tell you no. Furthermore, the ingredients list more than simply salt. So on top of the annoyance of having to regularly purchase these bottles in order to use the Kangen Water System, you have no idea what you’re actually putting in your water. All you know is that it’s a bottle of something that says Do Not Drink.
If you’re not convinced by now that the Kangen Water System is a complete ripoff, you might be a lost cause. If there’s anything that the majority of water ionizer dealers can agree on, it’s the scam they’re running over at Enagic USA.
Now that you are aware of that scam, let’s take a look at one of the reputable companies in the industry - Tyent USA. They’ve got some terrific products at much more reasonable prices!
