W(9)_DI_ COMPARASING WATER IONIZER MACHINES

1.     Problem recognition, definition and evaluation

Nowadays ionized water became very popular not only just for drinking water but also have a lot of benefit for health. This kind of water has alkaline, anti oxidant, & good structure (hexagonal/micro cluster) as a water properties. Ionized water is the product of mild electrolysis which takes place in the ionized water unit. Ionized water is treated tap water that has not only been filtered, but has also been reformed in that it provides reduced water with a large mass of electrons that can be donated to active oxygen in the body to block the oxidation of normal cells.

A lot of water ionizer machine has sold in global market and every maker claim that they are the best product. So we need to figure out the fact and truth before we buy this machine. In this blog we will evaluate which one is the best and recommended ionizer machine.

2.    Development of the feasible alternatives

We will take some brands examples that very popular in the market and most people bought.

1.       Jupiter Athena

2.       Alive Water 7.0

3.       Enagic SD501

3.    Development of the outcomes

We will use Non Compensatory Model from Engineering Economic Book to analyze each machine.

4.    Selection of the acceptable criteria.

The acceptable criteria in this topic are:

a.       Company à Capability of machine manufacturer, good company will certainly produce good products.

Parameters: certification / acknowledgment

b.      Water Quality à Core of ionizer machine is made by platinum and titanium. Quantity and quality of ionization is a function of how much electricity is applied (watts) and how much water comes in contact with the electricity (surface area of the electrolysis plates).  This metal is very hard and dense, will note break down, leach into water & use last forever.

Parameters: number of plates, dimension, & wattage

c.       Cost à Parameters: Purchase cost

d.      After sale services à Parameters: Satisfaction guaranty & warranty

Generally every maker has same facilities such as: easy to use, using control panel & LCD viewer, difference range of pH, & cleaning/filtering system.

5.      Analysis and comparison of the alternatives

Step 1. Summary information for each alternative

Step 2. Comparing ordinal ranking

Step 3. Application of Lexicography

6.       Selection of the preferred alternative

Base on above analyzes, show that the best choice for Water Ionizer machine is Enagic SD501 with totally 6 points.

7.       Performance Monitoring & Post Evaluation of Result

If we are looking at the other website regarding comparison ionizer machine, most of distributors declare their product as the best product. They support with a lot of data and experiments that we don’t know the truth and legality. But the one important thing that people cannot deny the truth is certifications and recognitions that endorse by credible institutes. Other important factor that not every manufactures told to us is regarding the core of the ionizer machine which is the platinum & titanium plates. Every products claim that they can produce the best high pH, best molecule, and anti-oxidant water, but they forget that key factor to produce these kinds of properties is electrolysis process which is influenced by number of plates, dimensions, and wattage supply.

Other recognition comes from Dr. Hiromi Shinya (Professor of surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, chief of endoscopy department on Beth Israel Medical Center New York City and the founder of technique of colonoscopy “Shinya method”) that said “Kangen Water™ is considered the very best drinking water because of its incomparable powers by hydration, detoxification, and anti oxidation” in The Best Seller books “The Enzyme Factor” pp 159.
