HOW TO IDENTIFY THE HG-N FILTER TYPE | |

This filter will fit these models
The HIGH PERFORMANCE Cartridge filter represent a quantum leap over the filters that come with the existing line up of Toyo, IE Series or Kangen Water ionizers. The HIGH Performance HGN filter has two triangular indent along the circumference of the center hole on the bottom of the filter as seen in the image and diagram above. The regular HIGH filter has a perfect circle no indents. The HIGH PERFORMANCE HGN cartridge filter is made right here in the United States by Sanastec International. More important it is made with higher quality filtration media than the filters coming from even Japan. See Sanastec filter comparison chart below for more details. We feel confident that if you try one of these filters, you WILL NOT want to ever use your old filter again!
Fully Kangen Compatible: Our replacement cartridge filters are 100% compatible with all Leveluk brand Kangen Water ionizers including the Enagic SUNUS, Leveluk DXII, Leveluk JRII, Leveluk SD501, Leveluk SD501 Platinum, Leveluk SUPER 501, and Leveluk SD501U kangen water ionizers. What's more they are made right here in the United States of America by Sanastec International. Here are some other compelling reasons why you should consider trying our filters. We feel confident that our filters are much better and here is why:
1) Carbon Block: For starters our filters are carbon block filters. Carbon block filters simply does a better job at water filtration because it is more densely packed than Granulated Activated Carbon GAC filters like the ones produced by Enagic or even some of the GAC filters that we still carry. Being more densely or tightly packed, they will capture more sediments than the GAC filters do. The only down side is that if your tap water has heavy sediments they will clog up faster than the GAC filters. This is why we recommend that customers install a pre-filter depending on which of our filters you get. Generally speaking you will not need a pre-filter if you use the HIGH Performance cartridge filter, but you may need a pre-filter if you use either the PREMIUM Performance cartridge filter or the ULTRA Performance filter. We have several customers who use the PREMIUM and ULTRA without a pre-filter and they do just fine, but some do need a pre-filter.
The water in New York City which supplies the five boroughs is not filtered; it is only treated with chemicals. A new billion dollar filtration facility is being planned, but until then you can expect sediment in your NYC tap water, and so we recommend a pre-filter for NYC customers who use our carbon block filters. However most customers seem to do fine without a pre-filter and the filters still last about 5 to 6 months. In fact many customers use the filters for almost a year before needing to change it. We do not recommend using any filter beyond one year. GAC filters on the other hand will allow more sediments to flow through the filter and end up in the glass you will drink. The advantage of using a GAC filter is that it will last longer under the same source water conditions because it is filtering out less sediments and contaminants. These are basic facts of the technology used. If you prefer to use a GAC filter like the one sold by Enagic, you can get the CleanSweep cartridge filters from MicroWaterMan.com. The CleanSweep cartridge filter will only fit Kangen Water (Leveluk) models made before 1/1/2011.
2) Micron Rated: Our replacement cartridge filters are micron rated. This is a significant advance that you should consider. We are not aware of any GAC filter of the type that can work in the Leveluk, IE Series, Ange or Pure Porte II water ionizer models that have a micron rating. To our understanding Enagic doesn't publish a micron rating for any of the filters they sell, and neither does the GAC filters that we carry such as the CleanSweep carry a micron rating. The micron rating helps consumers understand what contaminants they can expect to be excluded by the filter.

3) Made with FDA Compliant & NSF Certified Materials:
Our filters are manufactured using a proprietary process with FDA compliant materials. The materials and components used in these filters are certified by NSF International against NSF standard 61. The components used for chlorine, VOC and TOC reduction are based on laboratory testing conducted using test protocol contained in NSF standards 42 and 53 respectively. It is important to make clear that our filters are not NSF certified in and of themselves but the ingredients used are NSF certified.
