Weaknesses Of The Kangen Water System

All the advanced machines today use plates that take advantage of either mesh or slotted plate technology. By breaking up the surface of the plates, the machines create a greater total surface area that comes in contact with the water, and thus filter more thoroughly.

To understand this concept, consider this: Would you rather run on a flat track, or on a track that requires you to run up and down a series of hills? Obviously, the flat track will be easier because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. The Kangen Water System offers water a flat track, whereas the more advanced machines (particularly KYK Genesis and Tyent 7070) require the water to run up and down the hills, for a more effective filtration.

The Kangen Water System Uses One Filter
All the top systems these days use at least two filters to be sure to clear all the contaminants from your water before it reaches your family's lips. One filter just doesn't do the same job as two. Top water filters will have a carbon filter as well as a more complex media filter in order to remove fluoride, chlorine and any other heavy metals. You really don't know how effective the Kangen Water System is going to be with its single filter, and that's a chance you're taking by buying their machine.

On top of there being only one filter, their filter contains the chemical "calcium sulfite" which is a common food preservative. Some people believe this chemical is bad for your health, and though we haven't read anything conclusive, we prefer to stay away from most preservatives in general.

The Kangen Water System Uses An Undisclosed Chemical Solution
This is probably the worst part about their machine. In order for their machine to reach the pH levels they advertise, you have to insert a liquid that they call an "electrolysis enhancer" which has a warning label right on the bottle which states "Do Not Drink." Uhhh... why would I put a substance I'm not supposed to drink into my water?

But it gets worse. They claim that the liquid is just a salt (saline) solution. However, when asked if salt water or homemade saline solutions would be acceptable replacements, they will tell you no. Furthermore, the ingredients list more than simply salt. So on top of the annoyance of having to regularly purchase these bottles in order to use the Kangen Water System, you have no idea what you're actually putting in your water. All you know is that it's a bottle of something that says Do Not Drink.
