Nikken Water Filter Review – PiMag Aqua Pour
In this article we take a look at the Nikken PiMag Aqua Pour Water Filter, and compare it with other similar commercially available countertop water filtration systems. Nikken is a Japanese network marketing, or MLM, company founded in 1975. One of their distinctive product line features is the Nikken magnets. These magnets are used in the water filtration process, as well as the many other wellness product lines provided by Nikken. We were interested in both the technology and how a network marketing product compared to others in the marketplace.
We discovered the Nikken PiMag Aqua Pour Gravity Water System listed on Amazon.com in both new and used condition. The Nikken website lists this product at $299.00 and includes a short video overview as well as information about dangers present in both tap water and bottled water. We certainly agree on these statements.
Other related Nikken water filter products include the Deluxe Countertop Water System, the Deluxe Under Counter System, Optimizer II, and Ultra Shower System. The company video claims that its magnetic technology doesn’t remove beneficial components during the filtration process as does reverse osmosis technology and other purification techniques.
Although having no personal experience with the Nikken water filters, rather we sought to discover the independent evaluations of others that have actually used them. To accomplish this, we analyzed customer ratings available on Amazon.com and other Internet websites.
In addition to the PiMag Aqua Pour, we compared consumer ratings and comments of two very similar products, albeit using unlike technology. First, we review the Nikken water filter product:
Nikken PiMag Aqua Pour Rating – 3.5 Star Rating – The reviews of this product were mixed.. One comment that is of concern is that the company will apparantly not publish independent lab test results (the Nikken website does have a statement that the PiMag water system “meets or exceeds the standards specified in ANSI/NSF 42 and 53″).
New Berkley Water Filter System
Big Berkey Water Filter System – 4 Star Rating – All reviews are highly favorable. One comment included a reference to independent testing: The Black Berkey® filter formulation has been tested by State & EPA accredited laboratories to exceed EPA & ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) protocol, and included a link to see test results from the University of Arizona, Spectrum Labs and the LSU Department of Toxicology and Environmental Science.
Multipure Countertop Water Filter
Multipure CBVOCSC Countertop Water Filter – 4.5 Star Rating – All reviews extremely laudatory – Only concern mentioned was: “I wish the flexible pipe was a little longer, so I could position the filter further away from the sink.” According to product description: “Complete lab tests and California certifications are available at the company’s web site.”
In summary, the Nikken PiMag Aqua Pour Water Filter and other Nikken magnetic-based technologies seem to be very popular. If the company would publish independent test results we could advocate this product without reservation. Competitive produt evaluations are somewhat better, although a small sample size is available.
