Power, Performance & Just Plain Pretty

The Genesis is KYK's top-of-the-line water ionizer. Genesis' advanced automated cleaning system runs automatically after each use so that you never have to wait for a cleaning cycle to end before you are able to get a glass of water. The Genesis is also the first water ionizer to offer a six item auto-diagnosis system to help you troubleshoot any problems it may be encountering.

The KYK Genesis is a dual filter water ionizer operating at 150 watts regulated by a SMPS power system. When you factor in the mesh texture of the plates, the Genesis offers close to 170 inches of total plate surface area. While the actual size of the plates used in the Genesis and the KYK Harmony are the same, the mesh texture actually creates a greater surface area which is why the "total plate surface area" figure is larger for the Genesis than the Harmony despite the same size and number of plates.

Premium Filtration

The KYK Genesis dual filtration system is made up of one eight-stage specialized media filter and a premium activated carbon filter. The Premium Activated Carbon filter is structured to improve the reduction of heavy metals and fluoride found in many city water sources. The silver activated carbon portion of the filter kills bacteria and keeps them from growing within the filter and being passed through to the electrolysis chamber. The three-stage sediment filter reduces additional sediment particles in the water maintaining the life and performance of your water ionizer.

Settings & Output

The Genesis has a PH range of 10.5 on the alkaline side to 4.0 on the acid side. These are the PH levels the unit is designed to achieve however actual PH levels can always vary depending on your source water. Your max negative ORP on the Genesis will top out at about 500 but again, this will vary on your source water and conditions. Anyone using a water ionizer should remember some health professionals recommend NOT consuming water with a negative ORP over 350 (that's -350) on a regular basis.

The Genesis offers 76 programmable PH and ORP levels all easily set using the touch sensors on the face of the unit. You will have nine pre-set levels including 4 alkaline settings, a "purified" or "filtered" setting which is the setting you will use when taking medications or dispensing water to have with a meal, and four acidic settings.

LCD Display

Your PH, ORP, Filter life level and diagnostics are all displayed on the LCD screen on the front of the unit. As you make changes to your PH or ORP settings or switch modes, you'll see your changes on the screen as you work. The LCD also shows your remaining filter life. Should you have any issues that are affecting the performance of your KYK Genesis you'll be alerted on the screen as well.

Warranty & Money Back Guaranty

The KYK comes with a full 5-year warranty on parts and labor. Should you have a problem with your KYK Genesis during the warranty period, the company will send you a shipping label and instructions for sending your product for repairs. KYK assures us that customers will typically have their water ionizer back water ionizer within three to five days as all warranty repairs on KYK products are done here in the United States.

Should you decide for any reason that you want to return your KYK product, you have 60 days from the date the package is signed for to return the product. You will be responsible for the return shipping charges and asked to pay for replacement filters for the unit. In most cases this is less expensive than the restocking fees charged by some companies.

Summary & Conclusions

All in all we like the Genesis unit. When you compare the amount of machine you get for your money, KYK products often come out right near the top. A nice 170 inches of total mesh plate surface area and 150 watt SMPS power system allow the unit to consistently and effectively produce ionized water at the selected levels. The automatic self-cleaning system means that you will never have to wait for a cleaning cycle to end as is the case with some water ionizers. The KYK Genesis automatically runs a cleaning cycle after each use so that when you're ready for your next glass of ionized water the Genesis is ready to give you what you want.

The company does all repairs in the United States within a reasonable amount of time and certainly well within the warranty repair policies of most companies.
