Enagic does not compare itself
to its competitors, just like
Mercedes or Lexus does not
compare themselves to KIA or Hyundai.
Everyone is
trying
to compare themselves to
Enagic's machines and trying to proof
that they are as good as them.
|
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.

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 an 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's water cell is on the
Left, the two cells on
the Right are from other competitors, and Jupiter
is smaller then both of these.
