Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

We have had this machine for about a year and it worked great. Only problem I have now is that the main valve is leaking. It would be great if it could be repaired.
The description sounds great, well too good to be truth, it does not make any acid water, it never worked. Don't buy this product from WFW, the seller will not accept returns and you are stuck with a machine that doesn't work and have to contact the manufacture.
Before buying my alkaline water machine, I devoted an entire month to learning about the reasons for drinking alkaline water and looking into the various features and benefits of all the top-rated models. I recommend everyone considering one of these do the same. It was well worth the time and I learned a lot. I decided on the Living Water because I thought it was the best value and also the easiest one to use and lowest maintenance. The Living Water is the only one I came across that uses the single plate design, and the manufacturer has a patent on this and worked with the original inventor of the plate ionizer system to develop the new technology for the Living Water, which they call "DDI". The plates are what make the machines able to ionize the water, and they are covered with costly precious metals like gold and platinum which are needed for the ionization. The more plates there are, and the bigger they are, the more it costs to produce. The others use at least 7 or more (I saw as many as 10) plates, and they are larger than the plate used in the Living Water. From my research, I came to the conclusion that the extra and/or larger plates don't do anything better, it's just the older form of the technology that has been around for a while, and the Living Water is the only one to have the patent on the new single-plate system. The Living Water seemed to have all of the features of the most expensive water machines, some costing as much as $4-5,000.00, without the high price tag. We thought it would give us the best value for the price, which is around $2,000.00 at retail (but you can find it online for less so it's worth taking the time to look). Also, the Living Water is the only one I could see that allows you to use hot water without damaging the inner construction of the machine. The replacement filters are very reasonably-priced. We have experienced some great benefits from using the Living Water. We have it installed on our kitchen counter right next to the sink. We use it for all drinking, cooking and cleaning, and it is very easy to change the pH settings to get the one you want for whatever particular purpose you have at the moment. I like the sleek design, too, and it looks very attractive in my modern kitchen. So far we have had no problems, but there is a 5-year warranty which was another important consideration when we made our decision. The alkaline water tastes great and you can make wonderful iced tea without even heating the water. Love it!
I had been buying bottled alkaline water for almost a year and had decided to take the plunge and buy a machine. I didn't want to spend $5000 on a machine so thought this one was more reasonably priced. Much easier than dragging gallons of water home each week. I know it has helped me maintain a 20 pound weight loss for a year (which hadn't happened in prior years) Also, my husband has been drinking it for the past few months and has had no acid reflux that he usually got...so no Tums... I will always drink alkaline water and I am telling everyone to drink it.

5 Years Ago...I was gifted this machine after realizing I could not drink the water in my new gated community. I was seriously going to move. THIS WAS LIKE THE GIFT OF LIFE...because I have used it every single day ever since. It's now on sale at the company website. Be sure when you buy elsewhere it has all the pumps and products with it...because filters and cleaning solution etc are not cheap. Runs you about $250 per 10,000 gallons but worth it...
I studied ionizers for a few months. I had one all picked out when I encountered a salesman who was demoing this machine - along with two other products. I was offered the bundle for $2000. I didn't pass it up, and I'm glad. I hate going anywhere now and having to drink other water. I used to be on Prilosec for gastric reflux. After using my machine for a short time, I went off that medication cold turkey, hoping that I could get by without suppressing my stomach acid with that junk. I'm not sure alkaline water did the trick or not, but I've gotten along quite well without medication. I'm a happy camper!

My wife bought one from her trainer. I thought she had been ripped off. I was wrong. The water taste so much better then the city water I bottle it to take to work every day. I also notice I feel better over all physically and am drinking much more water then I use to and less or no soft drinks and coffee. This just happened and was not planned. Highly recommend!
