Water Ionizer Reviews - Helping You Buy Your Water Ionizer

AlkaFresh™

With the increase in awareness for Alkaline Water, more and more companies are springing up, sourcing various water ionizers from China, Korea, Malaysia, and Japan. One such company is the AlkaFresh™ brand, currently offering a high quality, well engineered compact ionizer – the AlkaFresh MiniMAX™. This product does fill a void in the market place and initial tests have yielded positive results. This company is from South Korea where all the latest ionizer innovations have come from.

They do have a number of years in the manufacturing business and are very experienced. The water industry is a competitive industry and this product will have to stand the test of time, but with the company’s background and engineering experience we think it is a safe choice. They offer a direct sales business model and are distributed by a well-known world-wide distribution company. They are not based upon the Enagic® MLM business model. This is a positive step in the right direction. A huge plus with the MiniMAX™ is the small foot print. The MiniMAX™ is great for smaller kitchen counters, where surface space is limited.
