Costs of Kangen and Comparissons

Kangen Drinking Water Cost Analysis/Cost Comparison

When you are anticipating the purchase of a water ionizer, there are many considerations.  Of course one of the important factors is cost.  But it is not just the immediate cost that should be a factor, but also the long term projections. There is also a logic to looking at these figures over a long period of time, since the Enagic SD501 is expected to last approximately 15 years or more with good care and maintenance.

In order to put this in perspective, let’s view the quote from the EPA about the average price of tap water for an average household.  With this as a starting point, then a comparison can be calculated, using the cost per gallon of popular bottled waters. 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Quote:

“We generally pay much less for our drinking water than we do for most other goods and services…On average, tap water costs are slightly more than $2 per 1,000 gallons…Each of us, on average, uses over 100 gallons of water per day for everything from drinking and bathing to watering our gardens…This equates to an average annual water bill of about $300 per household…”

A 15 Year Cost Projection:  Kangen Water Versus The Price Of Various Popular Bottled Waters

The 15 year Kangen Water™ information is based on the Enagic SD501, with a retail price of $3980.00. It also includes the cost of a high-grade filter, replaced annually; e-cleaner for a normal year’s cleaning, 5 cleaning services, once every 3 years, performed by Enagic Technicians and the average cost of tap water, as indicated by the U.S. EPA, at the rate of $.002 per gallon.

NOTE: Figures were calculated based on a family of four, using a recommended daily water consumption formula of ½ the body weight of each individual in ounces of water. Father – 190 lbs, Mother – 160 lbs, 13 year old son – 100 lbs, 10 year old daughter – 75 lbs. Weights based on National Center for Health Statistics for average weights of individuals living in the United States. This family should consume 262.5 ounces, or 2.05 gallons, of water each day. The calculations above have been figured using 2 gallons of daily consumption.
