Let’s Start With ALL The Problems With Tyent Ionizers
Alkaline water is very popular because people believe a high level of acidity in the body is the cause of chronic illness and serves as a breeding ground for unhealthiness.
Tyent produce ionizer machines that will generate alkaline water on tap but here are some problems you should be aware of before you buy:
The countertop version (ACE) will require you to have enough space around faucet. If this is an issue go for the under-counter version (UCE).
The benefits of alkaline water can not cure illnesses or fix a bad diet/lifestyle no matter what anyone tells you.
Tyent products are very expensive as is the case with all other ionizer machines.
The manufacture’s warranty and guarantee ONLY applies if you buy direct from Tyent (NOT through Amazon etc.)
Tyent vs Kangen
What is “Kangen Water”?
In Japanese, the word Kangen means “return to origin”.
However, the most important thing about Kangen Water is that it’s not just another alkaline water machine but an MLM business. Multi-level marketing businesses are often criticized as “pyramid schemes”.
Although many people don’t specifically complain about the Kangen machines themselves, however, the business model means that the prices are vastly inflated.
Tyent, on other hand, just produce ionizer’s and do not work off any multi-level based business models. This means their prices are typically cheaper than Kangen.
Why is Kangen a Problem?
Aside from being an MLM company that is geared towards recruiting and enriching more sales people, there are other business problems too.
For instance, the Japanese consumer protection agency once closed down the company Enagic (the company behind Kangen) for 9 months.
This is after the company was convicted of deceptive and unethical business practices.
One of the biggest problems are lower value machines sold for unreasonably higher prices. Enagic Japan government scandals revolve around advertising campaigns and scientific claims that are not based on evidence.
Tyent on the other hand is an accredited member of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) that comes with an A + rating. Unlike Kangen, Tyent offers all customers a LIFETIME WARRANTY if you buy direct from Tyent.

Tyent Water Ionizer
More and more people are thinking about water quality now more than ever before. Especially now as tap water seems to have so many potential problems – despite still being relatively safe in most Western countries.
New reports show that it’s possible for tap water to be contaminated with a number of different impurities, hormones and chemicals.
Water ionizers like the one from Tyent provide a sophisticated solution to this problem.
They not only filter and purify your water, they also offer options to create water full of antioxidants.
Who are Tyent?
It is an Asian-based company established more than a quarter of a century ago but widely available in the US market through Tyent USA dealers.
They produce high tech equipment for producing alkaline water. They particularly specialize in water that is said to provide health and wellness benefits.
This is why they have a fan base that includes many athletes and celebrities.
Do Tyent Water Ionizer’s ALSO filter the water?
Yes, they do.
Tyent ionizer’s use multi-stage filtration processes to remove hundreds of poisonous toxins. This includes things like pharmaceuticals, herbicides, pesticides and much more.
Where are Tyent Water Ionizers Made?
Republic of Korea.
This is why the vast majority of their accreditations come from Korea.
Tyent also talk about being against ionizers from China and Taiwan. But they heavily praise machines manufactured in Japan and Korea which are pretty much the birthplace of alkaline water.
That said, Tyent USA is based within the states and a large percentage of its customers are in the US. This means you will be dealing with a US based customer service team and may even be able to find a local office in the US.
It’s also important to know that the USA design team is heavily involved in the design, feature set up, and quality control of all Tyent units.
Under Counter Water Ionizer (UCE-13)
Unlike many other water alkaline machines that you buy direct from Tyent, the UCE-13 PLUS is a water filter and alkaline machine. It fits easily under your kitchen sink.

This under sink alkaline water ionizer means that you will not see it most of the time but instead left with a high tech touch tap that allows you to program the device.
Made from high quality stainless steel and connects directly to your water pipes meaning that it treats your water on contact.
This is probably the only touch screen water ionizer tap available today. The user interface is user friendly and colorful. In fact the interface looks more like a smartphone.

Tyent Water Filters
As already discussed in the previous sections, the Tyent ionizer uses a double filter. This system can eliminate 99.9% of water contaminants. This includes the types of things that typically appear in tap water.

For instance, heavy metals, chlorine, mercury and lead.
Tyent Warranty
One of the best things about the Tyent is how there is almost no risk in buying it because of the generous warranty.
First of all, you effectively get a 75 day trial because you can easily return it in this period.
In addition to this, you get what the company calls the “Platinum Lifetime Warranty”. This essentially protects you from any future system errors and a life long protection from the machine breaking.
To make sure you get the LIFETIME WARRANTY buy direct from the Tyent website and use coupon code: WaterGeek.
Tyent UCE Installation

The first concern that anyone will have when looking at this as a possibility for their home is how easy is it to install?
The video below shows that you don’t necessarily need a plumber or electrician to do it.
Simply having some basic plumbing skills (and knowing where to turn off your water at source) means you can install it yourself.
The video below goes through a step by step process of how to install one of the UCE (under counter) models.
How To Install An Under Counter Water Ionizer
Detailed Tyent UCE-13 Under Counter Water Ionizer Review
The Tyent UCE-13 PLUS is a water filter that also creates alkaline water on tap. All of this is done through a very sophisticated high tech touch interface.
It offers three performance levels for the production of both acidic and alkaline water. Each of these levels has 99 pre-set settings that allow you to configure the ionizer as needed. You can set your preferred water selection at the touch of a button.
It is capable of generating alkaline water with an ORP of -1150.
This level of antioxidant is the best you can find with water ionizers. Combine this with the wide range of pH levels, and you will have one of the most powerful alkaline machine’s available today.
Another good thing about the Tyent UCE-13 PLUS Under Counter Water Ionizer is that it only weighs less than 6 kilograms and has a variable voltage between 100 and 240 volts. This results in an adjustable energy consumption, making it cheaper to run so that your electricity bill is not crazy high. This also allows the generation of water with a pH range between 1.7 and 12.5.
The device measures 385 square inches, so it should fit well with most types of kitchen countertops. This is important since the Tyent UCE-13 PLUS is an under-the-counter solution so will not use up precious space on your countertop.
How To Use Tyent Water Ionizer?
The good news is that once set up, using a Tyent water ionizer is very easy. This is because everything is operated through its electronic touchscreen controller.
The controller allows you to select different water options that include:
- 3 levels of alkaline water – 1 representing light alkaline and 3 representing the strongest alkaline setting.
- 3 levels of acidic water – again, this goes from the lowest setting of 1 to the highest setting of 3.
- H2O – which is regular neutral pH water.
- Turbo – this is the strongest possible alkaline and acidic settings.
Don’t worry about making a mistake because the control panel confirms your selection with both audio and visual alerts.
The most important thing to remember is that alkaline water will always come from the top spout and acidic water will always come from the bottom one.
UCE-13 PLUS Problems.
Very expensive.
Needs some installation to get it to work. So you either need some basic plumbing knowledge OR need to hire a professional plumber. Also note that EVERY alkaline machine of this sort will need some sort of plumbing installation.
The manufacture’s warranty and guarantee ONLY applies if you buy direct from Tyent (NOT through Amazon etc.)
Tyent 13-Plate Water Ionizer Best Features
Fast flow rate.
Forever lifetime warranty.
Dual ultra filter that removes 99.9% many contaminants.
The large unit fits under the counter so it doesn’t take up precious countertop space.
BPA free, lead free and only makes use of FDA approved plastics.
Fits in with the design of high end kitchens.
As the name suggests, it comes with 13 huge platinum plates, which means superior effectiveness.
Rated “Water Ionizer of the Year” in 2012, ’13, ’14, ’15 (source: waterionizer.com).
Countertop Water Ionizer (ACE-13)
If the under-counter version of Tyent is not right for you then they also have counter top versions.
This is a lot easier to install when compared to the under counter water ionizer’s. The ACE-13 offers all the same features as the UCE-13 PLUS.
Tyent ACE 13 Review
This machine produces a water pH level between 2.0 pH to 12.5 pH this is along with a negative ORP up to -1150 mV, which is very good.
However, you can select the exact setting that you want through the smartphone style touch screen.
As you can see in the picture above, the Tyent has 2 easy load filters.
The “smart spout” means that it’s easily adjustable so you can choose to install this alkaline machine ionizer on the right or left side.
The “13” part of the ACE-13 means that it comes with 13 platinum coated medical grade titanium electrode plates. This currently is the highest in the industry.
It’s much smaller than almost all other bulky alkaline water machines. And it’s nice to have this on the counter top because of the luxury material finish, which means it will fit in the most lavish kitchen decor.
Small compact size: 5.3″ Depth x 11.8″ Width x 13.9″ Height.
Comes with a hydrogen boost option.
Tyent Water Benefits
The biggest reason for anyone to buy this very expensive machine are all the potential health benefits. I personally don’t like repeating some of the most fantastical health benefits such as anti – ageing, better sleep, radiant skin, immune boosting, increased energy and so on. However, I take the view that it’s worth it if even 50% of these claims are true.
The Tyent machines include powerful water filters. This means you will get purified, fresh and crunchy delicious tasting clean water direct from the tap.
Getting alkaline water on tap is a lot more convenient and environmentally friendly than constantly buying alkaline water bottles.
You can be very picky and specific about what level of alkaline water you want.
Water tastes better and lighter without all the unhealthy toxins and contaminants usually present in regular tap water.
It has tons of certifications from external agencies that confirming that Tyent products meet international health, environmental and safety standards. It is BBB (Better Business Bureau) accredited with a CE insignia and has lots of awards from Korea including from the KFDA (Korea Food & Drug Administration).
Tyent Water Filtration System
It’s worth repeating that Tyent units come with separate, replaceable internal filters.
The filters put the water through multiple stages and the result of this is that it can treat lots of contaminants. These contaminants include things like herbicides, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and hundreds of other poisonous toxins.

Best Water Ionizer?
Yes, this is the best water ionizer that I’ve seen on the market today, I just wish it wasn’t so expensive.
The Tyent UCE-13 PLUS is better than my previous favorite water ionizer (the ACE-13) because it can be kept under the counter and comes with a user friendly touch screen tap.
This means you don’t have a big bulky machine on the counter next to your sink (as is the case with almost all other alkaline machines). All you will see is a high tech tap on the counter top.
The biggest problem however, is the high cost.
But then again the prices are similar to high end alkaline water machines and the others don’t come as under counter units or work directly from the pipe (instead of just connecting to the tap).
The Tyent ionizer machine also has a lot of different levels of alkaline and acidic water settings which means that you can be very picky about getting the exact level that you want.
It’s water filters are powerful enough to treat heavy metals like lead and mercury so you really get the best drinking water possible. But like I said, it’s not cheap.

Your website provides misinformation. Oxidation causes acidity and disease. Oxidation-reduction increases the body ph not decreases it.
Alkaline water is also rich in antioxidants. This is because it causes oxidation (antioxidant don’t cause oxidation) that can help prevent the destruction of cells(NOT TRUE – oxidation is the destruction of cells). And it does all this without calories, unlike alkaline foods.
Hi I have checked the warranty on the site which you mentioned is lifetime however they only mention 2 years?
Hi Maria
I just checked and they are still offering lifetime warranty, there is more information here.
