In India, water changes from one street to the next. Borewell, tanker, municipal and RO water all have different TDS and minerals, so one factory setting cannot give the same result in every home. That is why AlkaFresh has pH calibration: our engineer measures your water and sets the ionizer for it, so the pH you select on the display is the pH you actually get in your glass.

Read moreYour ionizer connects to your home Wi-Fi and to the AlkaFresh service platform. With your permission, our engineers can test the machine, review its readings, update operating parameters and push firmware updates remotely. Most issues are resolved the same day without an engineer at your door.

Read moreBoth machines split water by electrolysis across platinum-titanium plates into alkaline and acidic streams. What differs is where it is built, how it is sold, whether it is set for your water, and what happens when you need service. We are happy to put an IonX next to any imported machine in your kitchen.
Kangen water is the brand name Enagic uses for alkaline ionized water made by its Leveluk machines. It is produced by electrolysis, the same process every water ionizer uses, including AlkaFresh. The water itself is not unique to one brand.
Based on listings and distributor quotes, Kangen machines in India cost roughly ₹2,00,000 to ₹4,50,000 depending on the model (JRIV, SD501, K8) and promotions. Prices vary because machines are imported and sold through distributors.
AlkaFresh makes alkaline, hydrogen-rich ionized water using the same electrolysis principle, with its own platinum-titanium plate platform. We do not use the Kangen trademark; Kangen is a brand of Enagic and we are not affiliated with them.
We design and build in India, sell directly, and do not pay import duty or multi-level distributor commissions. The saving goes to you. The plates, power supply and controls are built to the same engineering standards.
