Choosing an Ionizer

Do you have portable water ionizers?

We have 2 portable ionizing pitchers.  These are used by pouring water into the units, and the water is alkalized and made available for drinking within minutes.  The way they work is similar to Brita units.  However, the whatever contains a high pH and a low ORP, plus it contains suitable minerals.  The structure of the water is not changed as this can only be done by the process of electrolysis, but we believe this is the best method to be used when you’re “On the Go”.

I Have heard about 'sticks' to use in water bottles for away from home use (school/work) as well. Anything there?

Yes, these do work well but we typically recommend a "pitcher" product - either the Waterman Pitcher or the Phresh pitcher.  These can be used with regular unfiltered tap water and both effectively eliminate bacteria, chlorine and other chemicals as well as VOC's.  The Waterman Portable Pitcher sells right now for $55 and the Phresh Pitcher for $159.

If we go with a unit for the home

If we go with a unit for the home we prefer someone who has been in the business for more than 5 years and has a good local (US) presence"

The companies who have been in the water ionizer business in the United States the longest are Watershed - owned by Bob McCauley, author of "The Miraculous Properties of Ionized Water," and Jupiter - also known as IonWays/IonLife and the first company to offer service and repair in the United States.  Both of these companies have excellent customer service and wonderful reputation for the safety, quality, and support of their products.

What are the most popular alternatives to Enagic’s SD501?

The 2 most popular alternatives to the Enagic SD501 are the KYK Genesis and the Tyent 7070 followed by the KYK Harmony and the Jupiter Athena. The customers find minimal or no difference in the taste and texture of the water and they are all achieving the same personal results as they were when they were drinking Enagic water.
