There are various websites offering water ionizer "comparison". Each provides their own “ratings” and a version of a test video .
These water ionizer “comparison” sites try to make you think they are unbiased, but in reality they tout the water ionizer brand they directly sell or get a kickback on. Worse, they hide this from you. They provide few real water ionizer comparison facts that you can verify. They only focus on pH, ORP and the size of the electrodes.
However,there is so much more to consider on a water ionizer beyond just the "facts" that outline each brand's strengths. When buying a water ionizer one must consider the overall characteristics of that water ionizer and the overall performance of the water ionizer!
The Solution: Consider the Water Ionizer Comparison FACTS!
This site is different. We do not hide who we are or what brand of water ionizer we want you to buy. We want you to know THE most important fact: Jupiter Science by Emco Tech has been the leading water ionizer brand in the US market since 1994 and in the world for over 20 years.
As Jupiter water ionizer manufacturer,have more experience, expertise and years in the ionization business than all our competitors combined.
As Jupiter water ionizer manufacturer, we provide you FACTS that you can believe in and trust. We even provide verification.
There are other important considerations, rather than simply pH, ORP and electrode size.
We are the Associated Jupiter Water Ionizer Dealers and we want you to buy a Jupiter water ionizer!Search no more.
Here are the reasons why a Jupiter Water Ionizer is your best choice:
Water Ionizer Comparison Facts You Won't See Advertised
1. The above details were gathered from data research in January, 2009. For more clarification on any water ionizer brands please contact us. 2. Copycat water ionizer models from China/Taiwan are beginning to show up in the USA. Be careful of products that have not been made for the USA market and have no track record here. These water ionizer models can disappear as quickly as they have appeared, leaving customers without any backup service, filters or parts. Jupiter Science produces 90% of all water ionizers in Korea with a production plant capable of over 100,000 units a month.
3. * Most water ionizer units use only genuine Platinum -Titanium. This is because Platinum is by far the most effective and stable element for water ionization. Some water ionizer models made in Taiwan are using Platinoiridium or Platinum mixed with Iridium. They don't use platinum titanium because platinum titanium is 7 times more expensive than iridium. The Japanese and Korean governments does not allow any company to sell iridium for drinking water applications because it is bad for your health. The EP units made for the US market do not use iridium while the same models in Taiwan/China do use iridium. Also there are new models on the market using 'white gold' for their plating. This is very misleading as there is no such thing as "white gold" since goldis always yellow. "White gold", in fact, is actually an amalgam and contains at least 62% silver and other minerals. Platinum is about $1250 an ounce while Silver is about $12 an ounce. Obviously all the Japanese manufacturers and Jupiter Science etc would use "white gold" if it was any good.
4. ** The Enagic (Kangen Water)is very expensive not because it is a better than an average model but because it is part of a multi-level marketing (MLM) company. MLMs require huge markups in order to be able to pay out all the levels of sales representatives.Read more on the subject
5. A few manufactures make a lot of profit from replacement filters.While most brands have reasonable filter prices there are some that don't.
6. Some manufacturers are employing larger plating and claiming they are superior. They hope to fool the consumer into thinking "bigger, is better".With electronics quite the opposite is true (consider how the radio, camera, computer and TV have evolved). The larger electrodes draw 3-4 times more power decreasing the electrode life with no additional benefit to the water quality.
7. The BionTech is different from other water ionizers in that it is a batch system that uses 4 liters of water to produce 2 liters of alkaline water about every 15 minutes. The disadvantage is that it is slow to make alkaline water and needs to have the water added in manually. Advantages is that you can use it anywhere there is power and you control your input water. It is also capable of making super acid water of 2.5 pH.
8. When looking at what brand to buy look also at the level and quality of ongoing support you will be getting.
9. By US tested we mean that the company have been selling in the USA for at least one year. It takes a number of years to show that a water ionizer is reliable (less to show it is not).
10. We do not recommend models that use UV lighting as a means for moving bacteria or viruses. UV light has to shine through a clear surface but in time these surfaces tend to become opaque or dirty (especially where there is hard water). Also the UV bulb may stop working and UV light may not work well with fast water flow. In comparison anti-bacterial filters will always work at optimum strength as long as they are replaced in time. All ionizers that use filters have a filter counter inbuilt.
11. Some new companies from China, Taiwan and Korea claim to have an inbuilt ORP meter. Although a good idea this is still only at this stage gimmickry. It is very hard to get an accurate ORP reading and an ORP meter needs to regularly recalibrated and cleaned (since its points quickly gets oxidized). In our tests using ionizers with inbuilt ORP we found that the readings were very inaccurate and misleading when compared to the results from a proper ORP meter.
