What toxins do water ionizers filter out?

What toxins do water ionizers filter out and why?

Most water ionizers use granular activated carbon (GAC) filters which reduce levels of chlorine, heavy metals, and even Monsanto’s glyphosate herbicide. The notable exception is the Kangen Water machine, it’s single filter does not filter out heavy metals or glyphosate. Life water ionizers come with far more extensive filtration than all other brands of water ionizer. Every new Life Ionizer comes with a 3 filter customized filtration system that is configured by our technicians to filter the toxins found in your water.

All Water Ionizer Filters are NOT created Equal

There are many thousands substances that can contaminate your drinking water. No one-size-fits all filter stands a chance at protecting you from them. That’s why most water ionizers come with multiple internal filters. Using two filters instead of just one enables an ionizer to effectively filter a wider range of contaminants than you could with just one filter – but it’s still not enough.

Everybody’s water is different. If you live in a major city, you’re likely going to have completely different water quality problems than somebody who lives in the country. to protect yourself, you need your ionizer to be equipped with the right filters for your local water quality.

Life Ionizers is the only water ionizer that equips every new water ionizer we sell with the right filters for our customer’s water quality. Life Ionizers takes the time to find out what exact contaminants are in your water by obtaining and analyzing a copy of your local Federal water quality report. The report is filed annually by your local water utility with the EPA. It lists all of the contaminants that were found in your water over the course of a year. Life has the largest inventory of water filters in the water ionizer industry, so we have the right filters for your water in stock. The filters you need for your water quality are included free with your new Life Ionizer.

No other water ionizer company researches your water quality. No other company customizes your filtration system. They give you one-size-fits-all filtration, and you have to hope for the best.

Alkaviva – Come with two internal filters, but filtration system isn’t customized, so it doesn’t cover all of the toxins in your water. Instead, alkaviva offers some limited options, such as an anti-fluoride filter instead of their standard sediment filter. Their standard filter system comes with their ultra-filter, which is listed to reduce levels of:

• Chlorine/chloramines
• Metals
• VOC’s
• Other chemicals which aren’t listed

Alkaviva not set up for hard water: Hard water usage may void your warranty.

Warning: Alkaviva is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with Alkaway, another water ionizer company. Customers of both companies have had difficulty obtaining replacement filters and getting service for their ionizers. You should avoid both brands until their legal dispute is settled, because one of those companies is probably going out of business.

Enagic Kangen Water Ionizers

The Enagic Kangen Water machine is the most expensive water ionizer on the market, and it has one of the worst filtration systems. The Kangen Water machine has only one filter, and that filter doesn’t remove heavy metals or salt in your water. It’s only good for reducing the taste and odor of chlorine – nothing else.

You can add an external filter to the Kangen machine to address the thousands of toxins that it doesn’t protect you from – but that external filter is very expensive. Unlike Life Ionizers, Enagic doesn’t research your water quality – they don’t care whether you have the right filters for your machine or not. Once you buy a Kangen machine, you’re on your own.

Enagic Kangen Filtration Facts

• Single filter system
• Does not filter heavy metals or salt
• Does not do water quality research – you’re on your own
• Does not work with hard water
• Sulfite Warning: Persons sensitive to sulfites should avoid Kangen water
• Additional filtration only available at substantial additional cost

Sulfate warning: The Kangen filter contains calcium sulfate. If you are sensitive to sulfates, you should avoid drinking Kangen water.

Chanson

Chanson ionizers only come with one small internal filter, and it’s only rated to reduce the taste and odor of chlorine, some metals, and little else. The filter is too small to be effective – even Chanson admits this! If you have any contaminants in your water – at all – Chanson recommends you buy a prefilter system (about $200 extra) because the filter that the ionizer comes with will not protect you!

Chanson Filtration Facts

• Single filter system
• Only rated to reduce the taste and odor of chlorine
• You must purchase a pre-filter system if you have any toxins in your water
• Does not do water quality research – you’re on your own
• Filter is too small to be effective

Chanson not set up for hard water: Hard water usage may void your warranty.

KYK

Has dual internal filters, one addresses chlorine, some heavy metals, and VOCs. The other filters addresses chloramines. Life Ionizers and KYK are the only major brands that filter chlorine and chloramines

KYK filter facts

• Addresses chlorine and chloramines, VOC’s and some metals
• Does not do water quality research – you’re on your own
• You must purchase a pre-filter system for other toxins in your water

KYK not set up for hard water: Hard water usage may void your warranty.

KYK comes in second to Life Ionizers in most water ionizer filtration comparisons. They are the only company other than Life to address chloramines. It is still recommended to purchase a pre-filter system with KYK units. KYK does not customize your filtration, or research your water quality. Like the other ionizer companies, you’re on your own.
