Hyundai Wacortec is a Korean OEM that manufactures alkaline ionizers under multiple brand labels worldwide. Decent specs on paper (9-plate, claimed pH 10.4, ORP −680 mV) and a 2-year warranty. The catch: not officially distributed in SG, so anything you buy is grey-import — no manufacturer-warranty path locally.
