Beware of Deception With "Fake" Water Ionizer Reviews and Other Tricks
Water ionizer review websites only look independent. Their aim is apparently to look more official, or non-biased, or somehow philanthropic. However, it's all a trick.
After I started selling water ionizers, back in 2008, it didn’t take long before I realized how much deception existed when comparing brands of water ionizers. With all the tricks and fakery, it was hard for me to find the best water ionizers to sell my customers. For instance, companies used water with a pH level too high to drink to test the ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) and antioxidants. This was ridiculous because you don’t drink at that high of a pH level.
I also noticed that many companies use deceptive pricing and other tactics to sell their water ionizers. Deceptive pricing occurs when a company marks its product at a significantly higher price than its actual value. The purpose of deceptive pricing is to make the customer feel that the product they are about to buy is much higher-priced on average, so they perceive it as a great deal. In fact, the product is likely worth comparatively half or less of the discounted price.
I searched high and low, and all the review websites were dishonest, hiding their identities. They created the appearance of poor reviews for their competitors and good reviews for their brand of water ionizer, just like a magician makes illusions.
Deceptive Water Ionizer Reviews...Websites
The following is a sampling of water ionizer review websites that claim to be authentic. They give fake reviews about how "great" their own water ionizers are. It is an unprofessional trick and they keep their identity hidden so you don't realize it. I uncovered their identities years ago.
- Water Ionizer Pure Reviews for Pure Water: (waterionizer.com) This site belongs to Tyent
- Water Ionizer Buyer's Guide: Property of Tyent
- Ionizer Research: (ionizerresearch.com) This water ionizer review site belongs to Tyent

- Alkaline Water Ionizer Reviews: (alkalinewaterionizerreviews.com) This water ionizer review site belongs to Lifeionizers
- Best Water Ionizer Reviews: This water ionizer review site belongs to AirWaterLife
- Water Ionizer of the Year: This is another gimmick is to pretend that a particular type of water ionizer has won the “Water Ionizer of the Year” award. There is no such award, but many customers fall prey to this technique. These phony award-review websites all belong to Tyent.

Example: Here is an illustration from ionizerresearch.com (an example of one of Tyent's fake review sites). There are many more.
TYENT hides its identity on its various fake review sites (by a private proxy).

Tyent Deceptiona: Tyent puts their machines on sale every single day of the year. It's normal for them to slash prices by 50 percent.
The Federal Trade Commission has a full article on deceptive pricing. They detail in full what deceptive pricing is and how unlawful it is.
Tyent also uses cover sites to host a variety of "Water Ionizer Awards". They display gold medals and other banners on their websites about this phony scheme.
On one of Tyent-owned cover websites "the ionizer guy" does a false pretense of a fair comparison. It's almost comical, because he doesn't even test the ionizers he's comparing.
Laws on Deceptive Pricing
Several water ionizer companies (mostly Tyent) are involved in "Deceptive Pricing". Deceptive pricing is a term defined by the Federal Trade Commission.
Here is what the law says: "...he should be reasonably certain that the higher price he advertises does not appreciably exceed the price at which substantial sales of the article are being made in the area."
In other words, it's against the law to pretend the retail price is much higher than it is. It deceives the customer to make up falsely high prices under a veil of daily "price-cuts". Customers often think they got a great deal on a very high-quality water ionizer. But, in fact the machine was just an average one with a falsely high price tag.
Kangen Water Reviews
Enagic dealers use a different type of deception. My first introduction to Enagic water ionizers and Kangen Water reviews was about 12 years ago. A friend told me about her Enagic Kangen water machine (the Enagic SD-501).
She was sure her Enagic machine was the only safe and medically beneficial water ionizer. Even though her information was false, she was quite convinced. It turns out she had heard many lies like this in a sales presentation given by someone she trusted.
I found an actual phenomenon of a type of brain-washing (peer-convincing) existed in her mind. Every Enagic dealer I have ever come across has this same phenomenon.
- The closed-door meetings use verbal and unverified data. They pass it from friend to friend, or in a lot of cases a trusted authority presents these things to you.
- We live in a day and age where many of us leave our opinions at the doorway of trusted authorities. There is so much information out there and too little time to absorb it all. It is beyond the capability of most people to do their own research.
- Sometimes greed hurts a person's integrity, and so shuts off their ability to observe truth from falsehood.
- Fear tactics are a very persuasive factor as part of this peer-convincing.
This is exactly what my friend experienced. She believed what the authority told her because she had no time to research it herself.
I bought an Enagic SD-501 to test it and determine the truth for myself. Drinking Enagic Kangan Water was no different than drinking ionized water from the other water ionizer I had at the time. Even I thought her water ionizer must be better, though, since it was twice the price of my water ionizer.
But what I found on testing was that the Enagic water ionizer was not as good as my water ionizer. I tested pH and ORP (antioxidants). I also examined the quality of filtration and internal parts, and my machine was better on that too.
The Enagic machine also didn't have continuous-cleaning so required a special cleaning cartridge every 3 months or so. Read more about Enagic Kangen water ionizers.
Air Water Life Deception
The AirWaterLife company claims to be the only company that uses safe plastics. This is a false statement. They also give other false or misleading information on their website. They also have a couple of fake review sites; this is one of them
The Life Company Deceptions
For many years the Lifeionizers company falsely claimed that they were the only USA-made water ionizer. They changed their misleading claim over the years. They use machines made in Korea, but altered by an engineer on their staff in the US. It is very misleading to call these water ionizers "Made in the USA".
At the present Lifeionizers gets their machines from Prime Water Company LTD in Korea. Prime Water manufactures have only been in business since 2013.
To top it all off, in Jan '25 I received an email from Brian@lifeionizers.com, who was trying to sell me their mailing list of 5,000 disgruntled customers. It's shameful to try to sell off customer information and it's also shameful to have so many disgruntled customers!
Beware of Deception: Lifeionizers posts a fake test of their H2 antioxidants using H-Blue drops. They put five times the proper amount of water in the test tube. I notified them about this error five years ago. There is no mistake that they intend to deceive.
Natural Alkaline Water
This company compared their water filter system to water ionizers when there was simply no comparison. I bought their system to test and compare myself.
I thoroughly tested this water filter vortex system, and it produces no (zero) antioxidants. Also any alkaline water that you get with this system is likely to be the same as your source water. The company overstepped the bounds of proper comparisons. Read more: Natural Alkaline Water
