If you do your research on Water Ionizers you will find Enagic is not the only one. There are other lesser known copycats from  countries such as Korea, Taiwan, and China as well.   Enagicdoes not compare itself to these competitors, much like "Lexus does not compare itself to Hyundai or Kia". However Everyone is trying to compare themselves to  Enagics SD501. One of their marketing methods is circulating an article entitled, "Kangen Water Myths and Facts". They use the Kangen (Trade Mark) to draw people to their sites, and then insinuate that their units match up the same as Enagic's dollar for dollar and feature for feature. The article is a cleverly written piece of ad copy and unfortunately some have been convinced into buying inferior units without having all the facts. Side Note:   It is not the corporate head offices that are running these types of campaigns, but rather independent agents and small time dealers. Most Asian companies run their businesses very honorably and do not engage in these kind of tactics. . So..... Since Enagic the company will not engage in these frivolous debates, we as Independent Dealers have decided to take up the cause.( Welcome to America.) So Lets do some Analogies..... Of the 2 cars below, which one would you pick?   Ok, How about the Boats below?   Which House? Be honest now! Ok, I think you might see where we are going? Obviously the Pictures on the left are what most people would pick. But believe it or not when it comes to our own bodies, there are many people who will cheat themselves and go for the perceived bargin.   If you look at water ionizers one of the most important components is the water cell. This houses the Platinum Coated Titanium plates that the water flows through. This cell is also known as the "Engine" or "Heart" of the unit. Look at the size of the units below, and keep in mind that Platinum is $1250 dollars and ounce. Does it seem reasonable that these units are exactly the same?   Enagic Unit is on the Left, Jupiter Unit is on the right. Why would Enagic put so much more material and cost into their units? Just for the Heck of It? How about performance, longevity, power, durability, and quality. Enagic on the Left, Dwarfs other competitors as well.   Enagic is the Number #1 Seller of Water Ionizers in Japan Out Selling #2. Nihon Trim (Owned by Mitsubishi) #3. Panasonic ( #2 and #3 are not sold in North America) Why is That? Do you think they might know a thing or two about Water Ionizers in Japan?     (Award from the Japanese Medical Association) ONLY 1 is handed out in any given category, and only Enagic was chosen.   I could go on and on, but here is the point..... Enagic is a medical device that no other machine even comes close to. And we can prove it.
