Choosing a Water Ionizer

Want help in Choosing a Water Ionizer?

Buying a water ionizer can be very confusing.? Every manufacturer claims that their water ionizers are far superior to all others, they state contradictory claims, list various key reasons why everyone should buy their machines.?

So, who should you believe??

At Water Ionizer Authority, we have spent countless hours doing the research so you don’t have to, we’ve gathered all the facts and present them in a way that is easy for you to compare and understand the differences between the machines.? You? can read through our product comparison and product rating charts to see this information and compare it side by side.

The information is entirely objective.? We are not trying to promote any one brand, we want to give you the facts so YOU can make the best choice for yourself and your family.??

However, after reading our comparison charts and reading our reviews, we still have people calling us and asking, so which machine should I buy?? Don’t they all just make alkaline water?? Why should I care about plate surface area, voltage, etc ?

This article will help you understand what the actual difference is between the machines.

The Technical Explanation

There are very detailed, scientific explanations about why?such things as chamber design and plate surface area matter.? If you are interested, please call us and we can give you this information. ?But the average reader wants the cliff notes version, which is what we will discuss here.

The process of electrolysis is what creates alkaline and acidic water.? The level of acidity and alkalinity is determined by how powerful the electrolysis engine is.? A powerful engine that has plates with greater surface area and uses high wattage during the actual electrolysis process, produces water with greater alkalinity and lower ORP.? Most importantly, a greater percentage of the water molecules are processed when a powerful electrolysis engine is used.

Plate surface area and wattage are the two most important factors that determine how powerful the electrolysis engine is.? Greater surface area and wattage mean that a larger percentage of the water is electrolyzed, and the water will have a higher pH and lower ORP.

Making a Decision

The best way to describe the difference is to compare a Mercedes Benz with a Nissan Sentra.? If you are simply looking for the most inexpensive vehicle that will take you from point A to point B, you may be quite happy to buy the Nissan Sentra as it fits the size, needs, and budget of your family.? However, most people know that Nissans run very well but may crumble easily in a crash.? They do not have powerful engines and won’t?perform well when going up hills.? They dent easily and do not have many of the bells and whistles found in a Mercedes.? The Mercedes, on the other hand, has much greater quality, components, a powerful engine, etc?

Any?So the?most important thing is for you to determine?whether you need a Nissan?or a Mercedes.? Here are a few questions to ask yourself:?

* How many people will be drinking the water daily?
* Do you or one of your family members have a health condition?
* How many years do you want your machine to last?
* What is your budget?
* Do you want the water ionizer just for health and personal reasons, or are you interested in finding a way to generate extra income?

Here is why these questions matter:

If many people will be drinking large quantities of water every day, you need to make sure you get a water ionizer that produces a higher ratio of liters per second, and that can consistently produce water with a high pH and low ORP even if it is being used heavily.? Some ionizers dispense the water very slowly and it may be an issue if many people are trying to use it throughout the day.

If you have a health condition such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, acid reflux, or others, you may want to consider buying one of the more expensive models that have greater plate size and wattage.? Even though the investment would be greater, it would be of tremendous benefit if it helps you improve your health.? You would also quickly and easily recover this investment merely by reduced medical expenses.? The more powerful the ionizer, the quicker your health will improve.

Some people may prefer to pay less up front for a decent water ionizer, knowing that it will last fewer years.? For example, they may decide to spend under $1,500 and buy? a water ionizer that will last 1-3 years, knowing that in that time, new machines will be out with technological enhancements.? So by the time their machine stops producing good alkaline water, they can simply invest in a new one.? Other people may decide to make a one-time investment in a machine that they know can/will last a very long time.? The smaller the plates and wattage, the less time the machine will last.? So calculate the yearly cost of the machines based on the life expectancy.? Do not rely entirely on the life expectancy given by the manufacturers, judge for yourself based on plate size and plate types.?

Budget seems to be the primary concern for most people.? What is the best machine for a decent price?? As we mentioned above, this varies for everyone.?? The best machine for someone that is very ill would be Enagic’s Leveluk SD501, as the investment would be cost effective when you compare medical expenses versus the cost of the machine.? Others who live in a small household and are interested in alkaline water merely for preventive issues may be satisfied to have a mid-value machine such as the KYK Genesis that they know will last at least 10 years.? Finally, others may really want or need alkaline water but can’t afford an expensive one, in which case the choice is simple between buying a lower priced water ionizer or not drinking alkaline water at all.? You would know you’re getting a KIA, but when you can’t afford a Mercedes, it’s better to have a KIA than no car at all!

Finally, there are several water ionizer manufacturers that offer business opportunities by paying referral fees for people who share the water and get other people interested in water ionizers.? If you know health conscious people or have friends or family that would be interested in owning a machine,? you may want to consider buying a machine? where you can make money simply by sharing the water and encouraging others to own a water ionizer.?

So which machine should I buy?

Once you figure out what your most important considerations are, we encourage you to read through our product rating and comparison charts, as well as our product reviews.? If you still need some guidance, here are some recommendations based on budget:

Budget is not an issue:? Enagic’s Leveluk SD501

$2000 - $2500: Tyent MMP 7070

$1500 - $2000: Life 7500

$1000 - $1500: KYK Genesis
