Water Ionizer Comparison between
Enagic, Tyent, Life and Jupiter.
By: Ed Johnson, J.D., Environmental Attorney
Focusing On and Advocating Health By Hydration
As I believe the SD501is the best water ionizer on the
market, I have placed the facts regarding this product as
well as the company (Enagic) on this page.
The reason I choose to lay out the facts regarding this
ionizer, is to address some of the miss-representations by
dealers of other ionizers (of mostly Korean origin).
The Enagic line of ionizers are the
Gold Standard of the industry!
When it comes to your health, you shouldnt compromise quality for inferior materials and design on
account of dubious claims. And yes, for better health you will need to pay a somewhat higher price that
may at rst appear to be relatively more costly prior to having investigated all of the facts.
Once you have done a thorough investigation, you will then be able to make a better decision. However,
If price is the deal breaker, then our lower price machines are still a far superior choice over ionizers from
other makers.

Enagic and The SD501
First off, The company, has been in the business of water ionization for the
past 35 years.Listed below are some bullet point truths about Enagic and The
SD-501:
Enagic is LICENSED AND CERTIFIED.
1. The rst license is issued by Osaka Prefecture, a governmental agency
responsible for the province of Osaka, Japan.
2. Enagics Second license was issued by the Minister of Health, Labour and
Welfare, Government of Japan. ( This is equivalent to our F.D.A.)
The license # is 27B2X00070 and recognizes the SD-501 as a MEDICAL
DEVICE.

The Company Enagic operates as a O.E.M.(Original Equipment Manufacturer), which
means that Enagic does not outsource any components with the exception of the electrolysis plates,
which are outsourced from a company by the name of Kobe. Everything else, including the shipping
materials are made in-house.
One craftsman is responsible for building every water ionizer from start to nish
that increases the quality control signicantly.
The only device in Japan that is recommended and recognized by a non-prot organization (The
Japanese Association of Preventative Medical for Adult Diseases.) made up of
over 7,000 Doctors and Surgeons in Japan.
Enagic is recognized because its products are high quality and relevant for hospitals.
Enagic has been awarded Certicate # ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 for its most environmentally
friendly products as well as for its rigerous quality materials and construction. Additionally, these two
prestigious awards recognize Enagic as a leader in REDUCING MEDICAL COSTS IN JAPAN.
(ISO9001) (ISO14001)
On April 18, 2004 Enagic received the International Earth Environment University(IEEU) achievement
for outstanding Achievement in the environmental sciences and the Linus Pauling International Earth
Environmental Roundtable (IEER).
Awarded ISO 13485:2003. This award certies that Enagic uses the Management System
Standards of the Design and Manufature of Electrolysis Water Generators for MEDICAL
and General use.
Recognized by The Geriatric Disease Prevention Association.
Recognized as a member in good standing for the year 2007 by The Direct Selling Association.
The SD-501 has a FULL and COMPLETE WARRANTY based on one condition- that the
electrolysis chamber is kept clean with a citrus cleaning cartridge, applied twice yearly. The rst one
comes with the machine. (Many companies claim to have a full 5 year warranty but are either limited
or have a number of exclusions.)
2

There are no daily, weekly, monthly or yearly limits set as to the amount of water that can be produced
from the Kangen Water machines. You can produce an unlimited amount of water.
Enagics Ionizers do not shut down from overheating because these machines
dont overheat. (All of the competitor machines have a safety shut off feature that prevents their
machines electrolysis generator from receiving electricity and thus producing ionized water. Most
will automatically shut down after 5 to 10 minutes of use. This so called safety shut off feature
prevents their machines from overheating and thus causing damage to the electrolysis chamber. In
other words, the display panel remains on, yet these Ionizers are not producing
alkaline water past a certain point because the auto shut-off activates and
stops sending electricity to the chamber. Yes, ALL of the ionizers have this safety
shut off feature except Enagics line of ionizers.)
Enagics Ionizers have twice the ow rate of our nearest competitors. As a matter of fact,
The SD-501 will produce 8-liters/ minute which is almost 3 times the ow rate of the Jupiter. The
effective ow rate of the SD-501 is right around 5 to 5.5 liters/minute. Effective ow meaning the
ow rate when the -ORP and alkalinity are not compromised.
Hard Water is a huge problem with ionizers but not a problem with Enagics line of Water Ionizers.
Usually, Hard Water is NOT a Problem. In the event that it is a problem, Enagic will
disassemble and clean the electrolysis chamber for $40.(That is a great deal when you consider that
some of the competitors charges upwards of $800 to replace their chambers).
100% Organic Citrus Acid
E-Cleaner for Electrolysis Plates!

The Enagic Water Ionizers are designed to use a 100% Organic Citrus
Acid E-Cleaner that is ideal for cleaning and removing the built up
calcium off of the platinum/titanium plates. No other ionizers have this key
function. Do not overlook this feature. This is a HUGE benet of
ALL of the water ionizers that extends the life many years to come.
According to the manufacturer, one e-cleaner pack (see picture above
should be used once every one to two weeks for optimal performance of
your Kangen Water Ionizer. The process is simple enough! Just replace your lter with the
e-cleaner lter, add a fresh pack, ll with water and let it set for 4 to 6 hours.
Run your machine, and you will notice the white akes exiting! This is a great way
to keep your machine at its optimal level. It is recommended to use your best judgement. In very hard
water areas, use this cleaner once a week and in soft water areas, use once a month.
The cost of this e-cleaner is $34 and should last at least one year when the recommendations are
followed; However, this process needs to be followed at least twice yearly in order to satisfy the ve
year warranty.
Please remember that hard water on the electrolysis plates will destroy any effort from any water
ionizer in producing alkaline water or even more importantly, alkaline water with a high -ORP.
Again, this is a huge advantage over other non-Enagic water ionizers. Every water ionizer will start
accumulating hard water deposits from their water source.
Unless you live in an area of very little hard water deposits, choosing the right water ionizer with this feature
should not be overlooked.

The Enagic ionizers have a Minimum Life Expectancy of 15 to 20 Years and possibly
beyond. This is based on Engineering and Results!
The SD-501 is self-cleaning and will clean after every 15 minutes of use but will not start self
cleaning if you are using the machine. I have experienced this many times while lling up 20 to 30
gallons at a time for people who are drinking the water.
Enagics SOLID, DIPPED platinum / titanium plates have a surface area that is 445% larger
than that of Jupiter Aquarius / Orion alone.
1. As an example, The SD-501 electrolysis chamber( see the picture above ) has 7 SOLID plates with
a total surface area of 490 sq. in. (7 plates x (7x 5) x 2 sides). This requires a large 230-watt
transformer. A greater surface area requires a greater heating element.
2. As a comparison, the Jupiter ionizers have a total surface area of 110 square in. ( 5 plates x (2.75
x 4) x 2 sides) and have a inferior heating element that requires a maximum of 80 watts of electricity to
run.

Also, notice that the chamber has 7 wires that are attached to the side as well as the screws on the front
of the chamber that can be removed for easy cleaning. Enagic charges $40 to clean the hard
mineral deposits off of the electrolysis plates in the event that the mineral deposits cannot be
removed.
The Enagic Solid Titanium Plates are DIPPED IN HIGH QUALITY PLATINUM. The titanium
is purchased from a company by the name of Shinnittseu and they are the highest quality supplier of
titanium in Japan.
Additionally, the platinum that Enagic uses is of the highest quality in the world.
Whereas, standard titanium sells for around $1,000 per ounce, the platinum used by Enagic in making
their electrolysis plates is twice the price at around $2,000 per ounce. This platinum is known in the
industry as Medical Grade Platinum simply because hopitals and health institutions demand this
type of quality. Keep in mind that the leveluk ionizers are in over 200 hospitals throughout Japan.
The special process by which they make the plates results in a high quality alkaline water known as Kangen Water. Kangen
Water is able to hold ionized water at its elevated state longer compared to other ionizer machines using inferior plates and
heating elements. Please remember that hard water on the electrolysis plates will destroy any effort from any water ionizer in
producing alkaline water or even more importantly, alkaline water with a high -ORP.
Again, this is a huge advantage over other non-Enagic water ionizers. Every water ionizer will start accumulating hard
water deposits from their water source.

Taking apart the Jupiter Athena and
Platinum Series.
A group of us recently managed to take apart the two ionizers pictured below. This was our chance to
compare the inside of the Jupiter Athena and another competitor known as the Platinum Series.
Notice the above pictures. The Athena mesh plates were compared to the SD501 plates.
Take a notice of the size difference.

A Greener Approach -Oily Pesticides and
Insecticides Removed.
The SD-501 makes
medical grade true 2.5 pH
Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)
and true 11.5 pH Sodium
Hydroxide (NaOH) water as
a result of the saline solution
stored in the removable
electrolysis enhancer tank.
Enagic takes this very
seriously as this high acid
water is used for medical
reasons within the various
hospitals in Japan.
The other competitor water ionizers are not capable of making these types of waters because they
do not use a salt or saline solution. It is the salt that gives these waters its incredible dissinfecting and
cleaning properties. This feature should not be overlooked:

2.5 pH is 50,000 times as acidic as neutral 7.0 pH and will kill 99.9% of all bacteria, pathogens,
viruses, the Aids Virus Topically and salmonella.

11.5 pH, (otherwise known as Strong Kangen Water) on the other hand will emulsify oil-based
pesticides and insecticides off of fruits and vegetables. 11.5 pH water is also great at cleaning ordinary
everyday items such as counter tops, glass, windows, oors and the list goes on and on.

Be sure to read the L.A.Times article and watch the KTLA News video regarding strong acid and strong
alkaline waters.
How Important is Your Health and Your
Families Health?
This seems like a silly question, yet some are willing to compromise in the hope of receiving the same
results from an inferior water ionizer.

What is the value of 2.5 Acid Water to a person who is ghting some kind of skin disorder, psoriasis,
gangrene or MRSA as well as killing the e-coli pathogens or samonella from your foods? ( Food
Poisoning!)
Likewise, how valuable is 11.5 pH water that effectively strips the harmful insecticides and pesticides of off
fruits and vegetables?

Note: The amazing power behind these solutions is the SALT or saline solution that is added to the water during the electrolysis
process. Only Enagic produces water ionizers that use the salt solution. The saline solution is necessary in order to produce
hypochlorous acid (strong acid) and sodium hydroxide (strong alkaline).
.

All of the Kangen Water ionizers use transformers. Transformers are used because they are the most
reliable on the market. The SD-501 uses 230-Watt Transformers.
Enagic will refurbish and rebuild your titanium/ platinum plates for only $40. This is made available
to those who live in very hard water states and who do not use the citrus cleaner at least twice a year.
Very rarely needed but a good insurance policy from the company just in case.
The Enagic lters will last up to 3,000 gallons of use. Service centers in 4 U.S. Cities.
Compare that to the competitions lters that last only 1,000 to 2,000 gallons on average. Much like
cheap personal home ink printers, many ionizer companies make their money by selling replacement
lters.
The Truth about Life, Tyent & Jupiter Ionizers.
READ THIS BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER PURCHASING A WATER IONIZER.

Not all have a full 5 year warranty but Instead have a 3 to 5 year LIMITED WARRANTY based on
the fact that certain conditions are met.
Their LIMITED WARRANTY is based on a few conditions. In the case of Jupiter and Life,
THE WARRANTY IS VOIDED IF USED IN HARD WATER AREAS. THAT IS GREATER
THAN HALF OF THE UNITED STATES ALONE.
In the case of Life Ionizers, they have recently changed their warranty and now reads,
ALL MACHINES THAT ARE USED FOR HIGH VOLUME APPLICATIONS SUCH AS
WEIGHT LOSS/ FITNESS, ECTS...WILL VOID THEIR WARRANTY. How many gallons is
considered High Volume? A few months ago it read,THE WARRANTY IS VOID IF MORE
THAN 2.5 GALLONS/ DAY ARE PRODUCED.
Very few ionizers produce 2.5 pH high Acid or 11.5 pH strong Alkaline water even though some
websites claim they do. It is simply not true. When you research the companys websites (as an
example Tyent), they admit that there water ionizers produce up to 11.0 pH and 3.0 pH water. 3.0
pH acid water will only kill a certain percentage of viruses, salmonella, etc. The minimum pH level
needed in order to kill 99.9%, needs to be 2.6 or less and 11.5pH is needed in order to strip oil
pesticides off of fruits and vegetables. Life, Tyent, Jupiter and the other water ionizers cannot reach
these necessary pH levels.
All of these ionizers are built from assembly companies. In other words, the parts come from
different parts of the world and assembled at one location. Most ionizers today are assembled using
this method.
7
Overheating is a problem and will automatically shut down their machines. The manufacturers
claim that this is a benet; however, in reality it is a aw in design. Their heating elements use 80 to
90 watts max.
The same manufacturer, Emco Manufacturing (Korea), builds all of the mesh titanium/ platinum
plates by rst SPRAYING a large titanium sheet with platinum ( Platinum is expensive $1,000/
ounce) and then cutting into smaller baseball card sizes. The company then stamps these plates that
result in an inconsistent and thin layer of platinum on the mesh plates.
Their titanium/ platinum plates are stamped mesh. STAMPED MESH PLATES ARE AN INFERIOR
PRODUCT and is a cost savings to the manufacturer. There are websites claiming that mesh is
superior which is untrue.
These ionizers are not designed to handle hard water and do not have an ability
to effectively clean off the hard water minerals off of the plates such as a corrosive
citrus acid-cleaning lter. Having the ability to clean the hard mineral deposits is absolutely key in
sustaining the life of any water ionizer.

Over time, if this problem is not dealt with, these ionizers will not effectively produce the life changing
ionized alkaline water, that they are designed to do.
These companies charge upwards of $800 to replace the platinum/ titanium electrode
plates. Remember, It is not necessary to replace the electrolysis plates on the Enagic Ionizers. In a
worse case senario, Enagic would be able to clean these plates to new like statues for only $40.
Their meshed plates are small in surface area. In the case of Jupiter, the surface area is only 110 sq.
inches

The Facts About Life Ionizers!
In a competitive marketplace some companies will do anything, say anything
and stoop to any level in order to make a buck. A water ionizer company,
Life Ionizer, has been plastering all sorts of information on the Internet,
claiming that their products are the best around and telling consumers that
they should specically stay away from the Enagic SD501 water ionizer.

Comparison Report $3,980 vs. $2,000!
Life Ionizer Corporation uses a new technology incorporating
a mesh plate design so they can use a smaller plate design and
purportedly achieve the same contact surface area with the water
to achieve the same ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) as Enagic.
(In fact, when I spoke to a Life Ionizer representative, I asked about
the plate size and he laughed, saying that was one of the questions
everybody asks - his answer
was he did not know, but that
their contact surface area is the

Back Down To Earth with Jupiter Ionizers!
Recently a mudslinging type campaign, the likes of which are usually reserved for unscrupulous politicians,
was unleashed by Jupiter water ionizer distributors against Enagic, Inc., a Japanese based water ionizer
company. While these Jupiter representatives have spent countless hours trying to discredit Enagic, very
little is being said about Jupiter. After a bit of research, it was discovered that Enagic refuses to degrade
themselves by even responding to these ctitious and unfounded claims. In an attempt to uncover the
real truth and the real facts about these claims and the credibility of those making them, an independent
investigation has been conducted. ... If you are interested in reading this independent

The Case for Solid Plates.
One of the primary reason for solid plates
is that it is durable and will handle many
years of usage. Also, water tends to
erode and break down what it comes in
contact with. The Grand Canyon is a
great example of this force.
A large surface area of the electrolysis
plates is necessary in order to produce
high quality alkaline water as it is
necessary to elevate the active hydrogen
to a higher elevated state. (Refer to Doctor
Carpenters video.)
It is more difcult for mineral deposits to
attach to smooth solid plates thus
improving the performance of the
machine. On the other hand, with mesh
plates, the calcium binds in the peaks and
valleys (holes) of the plates making it very
difcult for the calcium and other deposits
to be removed.
Over time, (this will depend on the hardness of your tap water) it becomes very difcult to remove
these mineral deposits off of mesh plates and your ionizer will become less and less effective and
eventually will no longer produce alkaline water.
Again, only Enagic Ionizers comes standard with a 100% Organic Citric Acid
Cleaner precisely for cleaning the hard mineral deposits from the electrolysis
plates.

An Announcement from Enagic USA
Headquarters

It is well known to the company, as well as our Distributor Network, that there have been scores of internet
websites created by other companies that attack and criticize our company, Enagic. They have existed as
long as we have been in operation and have been quite unfounded, ignorant and more or less relatively
harmless.
Just recently however, these websites are becoming more numerous, thought-out and damaging. Enough
so that in defense of the honor of our Company & Distributor Network, letters of protest are being formally
sent from our legal counsel due to defamation and criminal business obstruction.

Kangen Water is our trademark, and it is illegal for other companies to copy or use it. Enagics line of
business is now expanding globally and because of the huge market being cultivated by our distributors,
our competitors from countries around the globe are trying to copy our product.
Competition is good for business and is welcome, but we feel it is with childishness and malignancy that
our company is criticized. The claim made by other companies that their products are equally certied or
of equal quality is extremely questionable, if not an outright fallacy. Furthermore, Enagic USA is a proud
member of the very prestigious DSA (Direct Selling Association) and as such, follows closely the stringent
and non-negotiable ethical standards established by the DSA.
Our policy is to expand our business with honor and fairness with our competitors in this quickly
expanding global market. In spite of the less than honorable ethics and business practices used by our
competition, Enagic will continue to be the premier and paramount manufacturer of water ionizers and
health supplements in the world. Staying true to the philosophy of President Oshiro will ensure that Enagic
will continue its rapid growth and amazing success for decades to come.

In Conclusion

In Conclusion, you get what you pay for. The difference between The SD501 and the other ionizers is
the difference between an overpriced appliance that may last a year or two or a certied Medical Device
that was designed to last 15 to 20 years and is used in hospitals and restaurants all across Japan.
Make no mistake! The Kangen Water Ionizers are the top Ionizers on the market!
