Chart Analysis:
Number of plates: The KYK Harmony offers
five double sized plates. The plates in the Jupiter models are standard sized.
The Gold Fox has six larger plates but they don't use pure titanium. The
Alkablue Variable Flow has 5 and the SD-501 has 7.
Adjusts electrical current? The KYK Harmony
is the only water ionizer that adjusts its electrical current to
match the mineral content of your input water, making sure you always get
stable, consistent water at the pH you choose. Every other ionizer will give you
a range of results based on the mineral content of your source water, making for
inconsistent, unstable water.
Uses Transformer? The KYK Harmony is the
only water ionizer to use the SMPS electrical system instead of a
transformer. A transformer produces heat that will cause stress and slowly
break a unit down.
pH and ORP Measurement? The KYK Harmony
measures the pH and ORP of the water as its making it. No other ionizer does
this except for the Gold Fox.
Mineral Port: The KYK Harmony, Jupiter
Melody, and SD-501 all offer mineral ports where a user can add mineral to
their water to enhance ionization.
Number of pH levels: The KYK Harmony has
customizable pH levels. By pushing either the "+" or "-" key, users can program
in the exact pH or ORP that they want and the KYK Harmony will create it, giving
users the ability to drink consistent pH water as part of their diet. All other
water ionizers offer between 4 and 8 alkaline and acidic levels.
Color changing screen: The KYK Harmony, the
Jupiter Aqarius, and the Gold Fox offer color changing screens that display the
color of the pH or ORP of the water.
Measures water used? The KYK Harmony
measures the exact amount of liters used and tells users the exact time to
change their filter (7000 liters). All other water ionizers use a timer
based on how long the unit has been turned on.
Water flow control: The KYK Harmony comes
with a water flow control valve that you can install anywhere that's convenient
for you. The Jupiter Melody has one built into the unit and so does the Alkablue
VF.
Carbon Activated Filter: The KYK Harmony has
a seven stage .01 micron carbon activated filter. Most other filters range
between 1 micron and .01 micron and usually offer between 3 and 7 filtration
stages.
Why is the
SD-501 So Expensive?
"Kangen" water is just a term used by Enagic to market their ionized water. It
means "return to origin", which is what all water ionizers strive to do to
water. In fact, Kangen machines are basic 3 plate, 5 plate, and 7 plate water
ionizers. The water produced by these machines is no better than most other
comparably plated machines.
The reason why Kangen machines are so expensive is because of the
business structure of Enagic. They pay out $285.00 eight levels deep each and
every time one of their machines are sold. In other words, they pay out
$2280.00 per machine sold.
Kangen water machines are also missing many of the innovations of the KYK
Harmony Water Ionizer such as double sized plate, SMPS electrical system,
automatic pH and ORP measurement, and more.
Kangen water machines also claim to be the only machines capable of producing
super acid water. This isn't true either. They use a separate container on the
machine to house saline solution. Salt is a strong conductor of electricity and
enhances the ionization. The machine isn't better, it's the salt that makes the
difference. And you can add salt to the mineral port of the KYK Harmony if you
need strong acidic water.
If you really want to compare products -- do as I did, look over their
technical specifications. When you do you will see that the KYK Harmony has the
most sophisticated electrical and ionization system on the market.
I was so impressed that I became a dealer/affiliate in order to provide a
very effective alternative to colon hydrotherapy and/or cleansing
supplements for detoxifying the body.
