<p>When ever talking about alkaline water with my friends and family, at least half of the time, they mention that they purchase their alkaline water from bottling companies.  I am astounded when they say this, as the price bottling companies charge for alkaline water is astronomical.  Maybe your idea of astronomical and my idea of it are different.  Below I point out a few examples, where you will probably agree with me.</p>
<p>First, let me mention that I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, where water is a premium.  Whether you&#8217;re drinking it, swimming in it, or using it to water your lawn, there never seems to be enough.  With that said, the examples I will be giving are based off a bottling water company in Las Vegas (their name will be with held).  I will say, I do not know how companies who bottle alkaline water in other cities conduct their business.  These examples are from one company in Las Vegas.</p>
<ol>
<li>Did you know, to produce <strong>5 Gallons</strong> of water from your tap, it only costs you <strong>ONE PENNY</strong> ($0.002 a gallon).  Said Las Vegas company charges <strong>$9.00 for 5 Gallons of water</strong> and $7.00 for 3 Gallons of water.  $9.00 for 5 Gallons of water, which you could produce yourself, in your own home, for ONE PENNY.  Hmmmmm.</li>
<li>Said company charges <strong>$18.00 for 24 16.9 oz bottles</strong>.  That equates to 405.6 oz, which is 3.17 Gallons or 12 Liters.  So, let me get this straight, the company charges <strong>2.5 times</strong> what they charge for 3 Gallons, just so you can have it in smaller bottles.  Interesting.</li>
<li>If you you get the 5 Gallon or 3 Gallon, you&#8217;ll probably need a <strong>water cooler</strong> to hold those large jugs.  So, not only does said company charge astronomical rates for the water they sell, but if you need to rent the water cooler from them, you&#8217;ll pay an additional <strong>$3.50 to $8.00 a month</strong>.</li>
</ol>
<p>I have a water ionizing machine in my home, which I use for virtually everything.  I can adjust the PH level of the water to suit my particular needs.  I cook my food with it (8.5ph water), make my tea and coffee with it (the 9.5ph water), use it for MY drinking water (the 9.5ph water), use it for my dog&#8217;s drinking water (the 8.5ph water), and water my plants with it (the 5.5ph water).  <strong>Why do I use alkaline water for all of these purposes? </strong>Because it only costs me <strong>ONE PENNY for 5 Gallons</strong>.  Would you use the bottled alkaline water for all of these purposes?  Not at <strong>$9.00 for 5 Gallons</strong> you wouldn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, then there&#8217;s the whole environmental issue about plastic water bottles.  But, we can save that for another post.  <img src='http://blog.why-alkaline-water.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>There really is no price you can put on achieving a healthy body.  I have met too many people who just want a cheap fix.  Unfortunately, it&#8217;s these people who will always put off until tomorrow those things which they can do today.</p>
<p>Some of the people I&#8217;ve run into have told me, &#8220;I can buy another brand for half the price as the one you&#8217;re talking about (the SD-501), and it does &#8220;the same thing.&#8221;  Once I point out to them the follow statements, they soon realize that the machine that is half the cost is like comparing a Lexus to a Kia.  I think we all can tell the difference between the two once we become educated.  Enagic is truely the GOLD STANDARD when comparing water ionizing machines.  Here are 17 reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Medical grade</strong> deemed by Japanese government</li>
<li><strong>Endorsed</strong> by Japan’s most famous doctor and is one of the world’s foremost gastroenterologists. He prescribes Kangen Water™ and states his preference in his best selling book, The Enzyme Factor. You can learn about it on this on our “recommended reading” on the homepage. This book is a ‘must have’ tool for every Enagic owner and every Enagic distributor.</li>
<li><strong>Awarded</strong> the Linus Pauling award for ecology.</li>
<li><strong>Qualified</strong> for ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications in quality and environment (these certifications are very difficult to come by and manufacturing companies have to meet stringent criteria for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO">International Standard of Organization</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Endorsed by 6500 member non-profit doctor’s group</strong> in Japan. The Japanese Association of Preventive Medicine for Adult Disease only endorses one product in a given industry thus the Enagic ionizer is the only ionizer they recommend.</li>
<li><strong>Licensed as Manufacturer</strong> of a medical device by Osaka Prefecture, License Number: 27BZ006010. Enagic manufacturers all their own parts and hand assembles and tests each machine individually before it leaves the factory in Okinawa. No other ionizer in Japan, Korea or U.S. meets or comes close to this standard.</li>
<li><strong>Dispenses water at an unlimited rate.</strong> There is no rest or wait time required between specified amounts. Absolutely no wait time. No limit on the amount of water you can take from the machine in a 24 hr period. The device is a work horse.</li>
<li><strong>Quality construction</strong> that lasts for 15 years and beyond with proper care.</li>
<li><strong>All hand assembled.</strong> Enagic is an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO">ISO</a> manufacturing factory that doesn’t buy pre-made parts from suppliers.</li>
<li><strong>All parts manufactured by Enagic</strong> at solely owned factory in Okinawa. They buy no parts from suppliers.</li>
<li><strong>Excellent service</strong> should the equipment, in rare circumstances, require attention.</li>
<li><strong>Plates are designed</strong> to an easy access standard and are made to be looked at and serviced one at a time if necessary. Whereas other brands solder all the plates into a case that does not allow for individual repair or service thereby making it a costly repair.</li>
<li><strong>A warranty for 5 years</strong> that can be counted on. No gimmicks.</li>
<li><strong>7 Solid Titanium Plates – coated in platinum.</strong></li>
<li><strong>230 watts</strong> of electrical power driving the ionization process- verses most competitor models which have 100 watts or less.</li>
<li><strong>The Only Machine that makes 2.7 or below Strong Acid water for disinfecting.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Designed with a cleaning cartridge</strong> to prevent scaling.</li>
