Produced and manufactured in Osaka, Japan, each and every Kangen® ionizer's plates are hand-dipped in platinum, producing medical grade titanium ionizer plates coated with platinum, the finest quality in its class. Simply the “Rolls Royce” of water ionizers.

Enagic Kangen sales reps claim that it is because of the amount of platinum used on the plates. But there are other water ionizers, such as the 13-plate Life Ionizers M-13, that have more platinum on their plates than the Kangen Water machine – and they still cost less!

For more than 40 years, Kangen Water® has been used in Japan to help restore the body to its original, alkaline state. These machines can transform your ordinary tap water into healthy, fresh tasting alkaline drinking water.

Life Alkaline Water Ionizers make better alkaline water than Kangen does for about half the price. Life's MXL-15 water ionizer can make alkaline water with a pH of over 11 (compared to 9.5 for the Kangen machine) and charge water with an –ORP potential of over -900 mV (the Kangen system can only reach -350 mV).
