What is so unique about Water Ionizers?

The KYK 9040 HARMONY Water Ionizer is far, far more than just a filter.

It offers four great benefits for the body's health: Antioxidants, Alkalinity, smaller water clusters offering excellent hydration and continuous detoxification, while the water is delicious and easy to drink.

Additional Benefits

Alkaline water ionizers improve the taste of food beyond that of normal filtered water. It very often allows users to modify their diet naturally and without stress as the user’s basic pH balance changes. Weight loss is a common free bonus of drinking alkaline ionized water.

Users commonly report positive health changes, especially for chronic conditions including skin complaints.

The byproduct acid astringent water is beneficial for skin complaints, may be used as a hair rinse, eye-wash, gargle, and for mild antibacterial cleansing. Users have also reported excellent results for Tinea and eczema.

Is this a new product?

The KYK 9040 Water Ionizer is not a new product. KYK has been selling for fifteen years in the Asian markets, selling over US $ 15 Million in 2007. Many Asian and American families now use this amazing, proven product. Way back in 1992, for instance, 130,000 domestic ionizers were sold in Japan alone.

Why is it expensive?

Frankly, it isn't. Compared to bottled water solutions, it is both economical and environmentally acceptable. The total cost per liter of ionized water produced is approximately 5 cents per liter.

Just what is the magic in a Water Ionizer?

The ‘magic' is really a simple process called electrolysis, or ionization. Ionized water has four qualities that are great for the body's health: plenty of Antioxidants, Alkalinity, excellent Hydration, continuous detoxification.

A custom designed motherboard controls all aspects of the process of ionization, including flow rate, water temperature, and a range of customizable pH output settings.

Will my Ionizer fit my kitchen tap?

Although your water ionizer comes with an adapter kit for the sink tap, Family Water USA does not support the direct connection to a multi temperature tap. The water ionizer needs to be securely connected to the cold water source only. Any chance to turn on accidently the hot water tap and run hot water through the unit must be eliminated.

Do I need any special fittings?

This depends on the type of installation that you want to have. Generally bench top and undersink installations are quite straight forward.

Can it go under my counter?

Yes it can. We supply an undersink kit with a brushed chrome filter tap that needs to be mounted adjacent to your sink.

What can I use the acid water for?

The acid water is a ‘free' bonus. It is excellent for all manner of skin complaints. It can be used as an astringent face wash, used to fill fountain reservoirs reducing algal growth, it's excellent for hair care, acne, sores, bench top sterilization, general cleaning and more.

Why does it ‘split' the water into acid and alkaline?

The ‘splitting' of the H2O (water) is the proof that the Ionizer does what it says it does. The process of splitting causes the following:

1. Approximately 70% of the H20 (water) input is molecularly rearranged into OH-, or alkaline, negatively charged water.
2. Approximately 30% of the input H2O is molecularly rearranged into HO, or acidic water.

Why can't I just drink water?

You certainly CAN just drink water. Ionized water from water ionizers is light water. It has a smaller molecular cluster and you can drink it all day hydrating the body really effectively.

Ordinary water does not penetrate your cells like alkaline ionized water, and this is why ionized water with its bounty of Antioxidants is able to rid you of acid wastes in the cells. It can go where ordinary water cannot, and it has the capacity to neutralize free radicals, and to balance acidity in the body.

How do I know if I have acidosis or an acid-overloaded system?

Many people do. The pace of life, the state of our foods, the concentration of acid-producing items in our diet means that the majority of people are overloaded. You might know individuals who seem to be calm all the time, there's a very good chance that he or she isn't acid overloaded.

You can use a litmus urine or saliva test to give you some idea of your acidity. This is not foolproof, however, because your body is always attempting to balance your acid and alkaline levels and could well be getting rid of a lot of acid at the time of the test. It is a good idea to give consideration to your diet. There are many sites that will give you a list of acid and alkaline-producing foods.

Is the Ionizing Water Filter just another new, unproved fad?

Water ionizers have been in use worldwide for more than 20 years. The same concept has been used for home and industrial applications. In Korea, KYK 9040 Harmony water ionizer have been approved by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. Hundreds of thousands are already in use in Korea and Japan.

Why did it take so long to introduce water ionizers to some countries?

KYK Water Science Company made a decision to concentrate its design and marketing efforts in its domestic area before moving internationally. In the last few years KYK has started to market internationally in Japan, USA, Great Britain and now New Zealand and Australia.

What maintenance do water ionizers require?

The new KYK 9040 Harmony Water Ionizer has a fully automatic cleaning cycle that occurs every 12 hours. The filters have a counter that alerts you to the need for replacement towards the end of the filter life.

How can an Ionizer treat skin rashes and acne?

Acid water kills bacteria and keeps our skin clean naturally. It is also a natural astringent that will tighten as it cleans. It won't irritate skin like chemical based acne and rash treatments.

I know what I should eat and drink to be healthy, but I can't seem to keep to a consistent program. How will an ionizing filter help me?

Drinking ionized water and your interest in health are a good match. By default, drinking the ionizer water, you will get lots of antioxidants into your body thereby consistently detoxifying your body on a cellular level. Provided you drink the water you will hydrate your body well. Ionized water also assists you to increase alkalinity in the body helping to balance the effects of acidity accumulated from food, stress and other acidifying factors.

So what if water is easier to absorb?

With the increased solubility of the water, it is more readily absorbed into your body. Your skin and hair becomes significantly softer. In addition, it can enhance the absorption of vitamins and minerals into your body. It also may help clear up some digestive problems.

Why is some water healthier than others?

People located in the Hunza Districts of Pakistan, Shin-Chan areas of China, the Caucasus in Azerbaijan, and in the Andes Mountains live longer with less health problems. Researchers believe that these waters are very pure and have a negative ORP (oxidation reduction potential) potential caused by either intimate contact with certain native volcanic materials/minerals or by cascading over certain igneous rocks. It is proven that KYK Ionizers are able to produce the same effect.

Shouldn't we be drinking water as close to our blood pH as possible?

In a perfect world, we would have perfect pH input to our bodies. Unfortunately this is not a perfect world and the reason Ionized alkaline water is so popular is because the majority of people are excessively acidic. The pH of our blood is the supreme commandment of the body. All systems work to support its stability, most often to the detriment of ‘lower order' body systems such as pancreas, kidneys, bones, and pH buffering system. The lower intestine suffers with leaky gut syndrome when the stomach can't digest properly. The stomach cannot digest properly if the blood pH is being supported first by robbing the stomach of its alkaline pH buffers. We are not an unlimited system, and our bodies are forever shunting resources around to the place of most need. When we have an excess of acid entering our bodies, and a scarcity of alkaline foods or water, we can drink water that is more alkaline than the blood pH. Scientists at Shiga University in Japan have determined the best pH for drinking water to be between 8 and 9.5.

Where are the Ionizers made?

All KYK ionizers are made in Korea.
