Enagic® LeveLuk SD 501
The Enagic® Leveluk SD 501 is one of the most popular machines on the market. This machine is able to reach pH readings that would be expected by a high-end Ionizer. The ORP is fine, but there are other machines that produce a higher ORP. Unfortunately,chemical enhancers* are necessary in order to achieve these pH levels. We do like the fact that this unit has larger plates and a fast flow rate. It also has a fair amount of power at 230 watts.
Although this machine is able to achieve great pH and ORP levels, we found the filtration aspect of the machine to be sub-par, as there is only one internal filter that is carbon based. This really limits the range of contaminants that the filtration system is able to remove. In order to really increase the effectiveness of their filtration they will need to implement extensive pre-filtration to remove a wider range of contaminants and we have just not really seen Enagic® make a strong effort to do so.
It should also be noted that Enagic® is an MLM (multi level marketing) structured company. In their current structure, when a machine is sold there are 8 people that make a commission. Despite claims otherwise, we have found this to be the reason for the Enagic® SD 501’s high price tag of $3,980.
*We have recently learned that these enhancers contain chemicals that are poisonous if consumed while not diluted in water.
