Portable vs Regular Alkaline Water Ionizers: How do the Melody and Waterman Compare?

In my last blog I showed you the videos comparing the Waterman Portable Water Ionizer and the Melody Water Ionizer for pH and ORP. Pretty impressive, huh?

I promised I’d show you the comparison chart, and calculate the rH for both, so here it is:

 The big news here is that the Waterman tiny little portable water-ionizer pitcher did so well in these tests! I’ve tested the Melody water ionizer so many times, I knew that would be great, but the little Waterman? Wow! That’s great news, because you can buy the Waterman for under $60.00. And the cartridges last for 800 liters! Also, replacement cartridges are only around $20.00 each! Nice!

Comparing the pH and ORP of the Waterman Portable Water Ionizer Pitcher with the Melody Water Ionizer after 2 1/4 Hours

There were a few things I was still wondering about after I did my last testing, video and blog about the Waterman Portable Water Ionizer Pitcher.

First of all, I wondered if my ionized water from my Melody water ionizer would be improved by pouring the already ionized water through the Waterman pitcher to ionize it some more. My prediction was that it would be improved by this, but maybe only a little (because the Melody already ionizes my water really well!)

Secondly, I wondered if over time (around an hour — give or take) the pH and ORP of the water ionized with the Waterman Portable Water Ionizer Pitcher would drop just a little or would the ionization effect drop considerably. Also, since I was setting up a third test of pouring the Melody ionizer’s ionized water into the Waterman ionizer-pitcher, I wondered how this pH/ORP would hold up over time as well.

Here are the 4 videos that show the testing and the results…with a brief statement about what you’ll see on each video:

Video 1: melody ionized water vs waterman1of4 …This video (part 1 of 4) shows the rH and ORP testing of both the Melody at level 3 and the Waterman (freshly filtered and ionized).


Video 2: melody ionized water vs waterman2of4 …This video (part 2 of 4) I am killing some time while watching the Waterman filter work by sharing some of my own personal testimonials about drinking ionized water. It’s an interesting historical perspective on water ionizers & a good story.

 

 



Video 3: melody ionized water vs waterman3of4 …This video (part 3 of 4) shows the rH and ORP testing of the Melody ionized water poured through the Waterman [double-water-ionization).

 

 



Video 4: melody ionized water vs waterman4of4 ...This video (part 4 of 4)  shows the pH and ORP testing of all three [the Melody at level 3, the Waterman, and the Melody ionized water filtered through the Waterman water ionizer] after 2 1/4 hours have elapsed.

 

 

I’ve run out of time to evaluate this with a chart. I’ll include a chart in the next blog. But, the bottom line is…The Melody (as I suspected) is far better than the Waterman. The Waterman is far, far, far better than tap water. And to get the convenience of a water ionizer wherever you go, I would suggest you get yourself a Waterman Portable Water Ionizer to bring with you. It is impressive to me and is something that, now that I know how great it is, I don’t want to be without.

Why are Water Ionizers so Expensive?

May 24 · by Cathleen LoGrasso

Why are water ionizers so expensive?

First of all, if you compare water ionizers to medical equipment, they’re not expensive at all. But I’ll explain how the expense breaks down. The most cost is in the platinum coated titanium plates. Platinum is right now selling for over $950.00 per ounce! Each plate in the water cell (which is the heart of the water ionizer) is coated with this expensive platinum. Water ionizers have between five and seven of these plates. The reason for using platinum is that it, of all metals, will not break down and leach into your water… even over time. So it will virtually last indefinitely, and as long as your water ionizer has a good cleaning cycle it will produce as healthy water 20 years from now as it does today. The second greatest cost for water ionizers is in the research, development and production of the water ionizer. These are very scientifically developed and intricate machines and the researchers don’t typically receive grant money for it either.
It’s so true that people will not usually question the cost of medical care, however this is after-the-fact treating something that more than likely could have been prevented. It’s high time we start investing a little into the field of prevention!!!

Finally, I wanted to add a statement made by a friend of mine yesterday, “If I would have known all I know today 7 months ago when I bought this machine, I would have been willing to pay $20,000.00 for it…or even more.” My friend attributes being alive today to the fact that she started drinking Kangen water from her Enagic machine.

A Real Quick Look at the Major Strengths of the Tyent, KYK, Chanson, Melody, Athena, Enagic and Life Water Ionizers

I make it my business to really understand the features of every water ionizer I sell. All of the water ionizers I sell are great and produce fantastically healthy (filtered, ionized, great drinking pH and ORP, & micro-clustered for best absorption into your cells). Of course with all water ionizers you can add prefilters for specific things like hard water scale blocking, soft water remineralizing, fluoride, bacteria, lead, arsenic, etc, All of them are UL (safety) certified or meet the specifications & have pending certification. The biggest differences, then, are in the electrode plates (all are platinum/titanium but differ in design), filters, and SELF-CLEANING systems. I’ll highlight these where the water ionizer is exceptional in the feature. I didn’t mention it if the water ionizer was ordinary in that specific feature (filter, self-cleaning or electrode plate design). I also added a few other points in this article for each water ionizer that had a feature I thought users/buyers might be interested in.

Tyent MMP 7070 Water Ionizer: The Tyent Water Ionizer’s 7 large mesh plate design appears to be exceptional, especially since they stand behind it with a 20-year warranty on the plates! No one else has this kind of warranty. They also extend their 5-year water ionizer warranty to 10-years for very little cost (or if you buy it from me — no extra cost!) They also have a model that’s stainless steel (for a small extra cost — or if you buy it from me — no extra cost!) They also use SMS power instead of transformers, which is a more efficient, high-tech technology…and is needed in the Tyent water ionizer, because otherwise the unit would overheat I think. The Tyent water ionizers use variable voltage, so you can customize your water ionization, and I would caution you though to use this option with care, because jacking up the voltage too high for extended periods may wear out your water ionizer. However, that being said, they do offer a 20-year plate guarantee and an extended 10-year water ionizer full warranty as I said before. The Tyent MMP 7070 works well when hooked directly into the plumbing, so that makes your sink area more attractive, I think. It shouldn’t be placed under the sink, though, because it’s not designed for that. The Tyent company will include a Waterman Portable Ionizer Pitcher free of charge with every water ionizer purchase. Actually, if you order from me I will include this portable water-ionizer pitcher for free with any water ionizer I sell…just mention this article in the comment section of the order form or if you call your order in, just mention this article on the phone. By the way, this Waterman pitcher filters out fluoride too! Pretty good!

KYK 7-Plate Genesis Water Ionizer: The KYK Water Ionizer’s 7 large slotted plate design (like the Tyent) looks exceptional. They also have a better cleaning system (better than the Tyent, Life, Chanson and Enagic) in that they self clean the water cell AFTER each use, so as to keep the plates clean and not inconvenience the user. Another thing that’s about this water ionizer is the filter has an extra-long (50% more) life AND filters out the majority of the fluoride, which I think is exceptionally good. The KYK Genesis works well when hooked directly into the plumbing, so that makes your sink area more attractive, I think. It shouldn’t be placed under the sink, though, because it’s not designed for that. The KYK 7-Plate Genesis is also on sale right now.

Chanson Miracle & VS70 Water Ionizers: The Chanson water ionizers both have 7 large solid & grooved plates with adjustable amperage for customizing your ionized water with your source water (similar to the water ionizers above). The water ionizers’ filter system removes lead (but no mention of fluoride removal). There’s an extra opening in the water ionizer design to allow for things like adding extra calcium to boost pH when you have soft water, and occasionally adding something acidic like white vinegar to periodically give the plates an extra cleaning in the event you have hard water. The Chanson water ionizers also are much smaller than the other water ionizers, which I think makes them more attractive to people looking for a water ionizer that takes up less space in their kitchen. They will also extend their plate warrantee to 10 years for anyone who purchases the Protection Plus Ionizer Armor which is supposed to permanently keep the water (even hard water) from scaling up the plates. [I'd suggest anyone purchase this gadget -- it's only $82.00 plus shipping [and if you order any new water ionizer from me I'll throw it in for free if you mention this article in the "comment" section of the order form or call in the order & mention this article.]

Jupiter Melody Water Ionizer: The Jupiter Melody water ionizer is a very efficient design, because at it’s small price of $1395.00 it comes very close (if not beating) the bigger 7-plate models in the various pH/ORP/rH testing that’s out there. The Emco Tech researchers are PhDs (many of them) and from my observation are very good at the design end of making an efficient water ionizer for a better price. The Melody’s filter also uses Biostone (which is a mineral, tourmaline) that causes a FIR, far infrared, negative charge reaction just by passing the water through it. This means that just by filtering the water (with the unit unplugged) the water comes out with a negative ORP (similar to the portable water ionizer pitchers I sell). The ORP isn’t as good as when the water undergoes full ionization, but it gives the ionization process a boost. The thing I like best about the Melody water ionizer, though, is the exceptional self-cleaning design. It self-cleans after each use for the user’s convenience, plus it reverses the polarity mechanically after each use, so it never has a constant stream of alkaline over the same plates over and over. This alternate polarity with each use is very cleaver in my opinion, and contributes to the reason the Melody water ionizer continues to test well compared with other water ionizers even after many years of use. I want my water ionizer to maintain its high quality for the entire life of the water ionizer, so the self-cleaning design I think is very important.

Athena Water Ionizer: The Athena water ionizer has a self-cleaning system even more advanced and better than the Melody. Also, the Athena uses mesh plate technology (three of their 5 plates are mesh) and this is probably a big reason why the Athena comes out #1 winner in so many of the water ionizer comparison tests out there. Of all the water ionizers I sell, the Athena water ionizer is the best one overall when it comes to rH (overall water ionization quality) and predicted long-lasting consistent quality due to their exceptional self cleaning features.

Enagic Water Ionizer: The Enagic water ionizer (Kangen Water) is exceptional in their large expense. If someone wants to pay the highest price, for esteem reasons or to make money with their MLM, than this is the right choice. It has 7 large plates and uses almost as much voltage as the Tyent 7070’s new Turbo-Charge option. Other than that, the Enagic is not an exceptional water ionizer.

Life 7600 and 8100 Water Ionizers: The Life 7600 and 8100 are the same water ionizers, except the 8100 comes with an under-sink kit and electronic water faucet (with all the choices and complete operation) at the sink. It has 7 large plates, adjustable voltage and an option to get mesh plate technology added (for an extra $100.00) for better water ionization.

There are several things you can do to extend the life of your water ionizer.

  • You can purchase a gadget called “Protection Plus Ionized Armor” @ $82.00 (& never needs replacement) which magnetically causes the water to become negatively charged BEFORE it enters your water ionizer. This inhibits the elements in the water from sticking to the internal tubes, channels, electrodes, and spouts of the water ionizer. Negatively charging the water is also going help the water ionization process without adding any elements or chemicals into the water, so it’s a win-win-win situation.
  • You can purchase what’s called an “EOS Anti-Scaling Device” @ $160.00 (to be replaced about every 2000 – 3000 gallons). EOS stands for “Environmentally-Friendly + Omits + Scaling”. This is perfect if you have any kind of hard water that you’re concerned about. Hard water is HARD on water ionizers, because the water ionizer concentrates the alkaline minerals (i.e. calcium) into one stream inside the water cell, and this concentration of calcium tends to cause a calcium build-up (otherwise known as lime) which if it coats the plates (electrodes) even a small amount, you can lose some of your pH and ORP values. The EOS is an environmentally friendly way to reduce the amount of scale in your water ionizer! Calcium normally occurs in a crystalline structure which makes it adhere to virtually any surface creating a hard scale deposit that can accumulate as time goes on.  The EOS works by using a process to dramatically change the crystalline structure of calcium to a smooth, soft, spherical structure that does not create damaging scale build-up in your water ionizer. If you already have scale, guess what? It will dissolve the existing calcium carbonate scale build up (de-scaling effect!).
  • I also sell two specific prefilters for water hardness on my website, but honestly you don’t need this if you have the two devices I’ve described above! That’s great news, because these devices don’t take up any extra room and are not unsightly on your counter-top!

Purchasing the Athena with the Biostone Filter 0.01M, Is that Enough to Filter out the Flourine, Chorine, Parasites, etc. from City Water?? Is that Enough to Make Our City Water Safe? 

This question is a big one…and important too. The Athena water ionizer is the best water ionizer in the test results I’ve seen so far. But it really depends on your source water whether or not the .01 Biostone & Athena water ionizer will be enough to make your water safe. If your city water company or health department has a water test report you should look at that. But here’s the info I have [there’s more explanation in my blog: www.alkalinewaterplus.info/blog

  • All the ionizers I sell do a good job of filtering out & eliminating the chlorine.
  • If you’re using city water, it’s not likely you have parasites, because the cities focus a lot of attention & money on eliminating them through chlorination and filtration, but if any get through, running the water through electrodes destroys them…at least most. It would be rare for parasites to get through all this.
  • All ionizers will eliminate about 85% of the fluoride, because fluoride is acidic and will be pulled toward the acidic poll and out the bottom hose. I think more research needs to be done before we can know if this little fluoride left in the water is completely safe or not.
  • If you add a arsenic/lead/fluoride prefilter @ 59.95 every 1,000 gal. of use you will get up to 95% or so of the fluoride out.
  • If you have very hard water, you’ll need an EOS anti-scaling device @ 160.00 every 3,000 gal. to keep your ionizer from clogging up with calcium deposits…otherwise your pH & ORP may drop over the years.
  • If you have very soft water, you’ll need a calcium remineralizer (@ $55.00) to be added to the #2 filter slot of your Athena water ionizer.

The only way to guarantee that 100% of the fluoride, toxins and parasites are out of the water is to use a Reverse Osmosis/Remineralizer (Re-mineralization cartridge contains 70+ organic minerals and trace elements)  + water ionizer set up. This, by the way was recently developed by IonLife for well-users and others who want their water purified of every harmful element –100%. Prior to this system, there was nothing good enough, because reverse osmosis without a special remineralizer designed specifically for water ionizers produced far less healthy water than by using ionized tap water and prior to this there wasn’t a good enough remineralizer. Now the experts at IonLife are saying that this system produces the best healthiest ionized water, because it takes EVERY harmful element out and puts back ample amounts of calcium and magnesium (the GOOD alkaline minerals) to ionize it well (along with 70+ organic trace minerals) into the water, so after ionization you have a perfection of the ionized healthy-water result.

Can You Hook Up a Water Ionizer When You Have a Whole-House Water Softener?

Yes, you certainly can AND SHOULD get a water ionizer if your house is set up on a whole-house water softener, but you need to read this article first. The problem with a whole house water softener system is that it removes the good minerals (for human consumption), such as calcium and magnesium and replaces it with sodium or potasium. This actually makes your water slightly alkaline, but it’s alkaline minerals are the wrong ones for your overall health. Sodium, in particular, is an alkaline mineral that you don’t need more of! Running softened water through a water ionizer will make your drinking water too concentrated in sodium. Since the nature of a water ionizer is to concentrate the alkaline minerals into your drinking water and sodium is alkaline, it follows that all the sodium in the softened water will be pulled over to the alkaline pole within your water ionizer and then come out the drinking water spout. This means that you’ll have double the concentration of sodium in yout ionized water than you have in your softened un-ionized tap water. This wouldn’t be healthy for your body. Some sodium is fine, but softened water has too much of it and is void of the good alkaline minerals, like calcium and magnesium.

I’ve seen some of what hapens to people who drink softened water, my parents for instance. It most likely contributes to health problems like osteoporosis and blood-pressure issues. It’s not in my opinion healthy to consume softened water on a regular basis, no matter what the water-softener people tell you. What’s good for your household plumbing does not mean it’s the right thing for human consumption. I understand that some people have to soften their water or they’d have rust-colored toilet bowls or clogged-up water heaters all the time, however when you make the choice to “save the life of your appliances and fixtures” with a water-softening system, you should also consider saving the lives of the human inhabitants of that house with a special RO Combo Water Ionizer system I will describe below.

There are two ways you can get healthy water for human consumption if you have a whole-house water softener.

One way is to tie right into your hard-water water line (prior to the softener). This may take some plumbing knowledge to do. It may not even be very expensive to do if you know a good handy-man (or family member) who can do the plumbing cheap. One more thing is you would need to get an EOS anti-scaling device to protect your water ionizer from the hard water. The cost for an EOS is around $160 every 2-3 years.

The other (possibly even better) alternative is to set yourself up with a reverse osmosis system, tank, presurizer, & remineralizer all under your sink [which all of that, total, costs only about $375.00] and then tie the water ionizer in the line right after the remineralizer. By the way, the remineralizer is designed especially to put back 70+ trace minerals plus plenty of calcium and magnesium for excellent water ionization! Then you can either get an undersink kit so all you see is the double alkaline/acid spout above the sink, or set the ionizer on the counter and drill a small hole in your sink or counter-top to run the water feed line directly in-line — just after the remineralizer).

If you have your water report (from your water company) and see your water hardness is caused mostly from clacium or magnesium, I think the best choice is to try to tie directly into your hard-water line (prior to it being softened). However if your hard water is coming from a variety of undesirable minerals, such as iron, lead, etc. the best choice is to get the RO Combined with Remineralizer and Water Ionizer system described above.

No matter what the source water, if you are using a whole house water softener system, you need to do something to make your drinking water healthy. Some people might think it’s better or easier just to drink bottled water. DO NOT DO THIS! Bottled water is not good, and is the subject of thousands of other blogs. I can’t think of a single brand of bottled water that is a desirable alternative for your health. If you have to drink bottled water for some odd reason, and you can’t yet do what I’m suggesting with an RO + Remineralizer + water ionizer combination, then buy only the bottled water that comes from high altitude mountain springs. It will be more expensive, but it will be the only bottled water that’s even remotely healthy for your consumption. The better choice, though, (and cheaper in the long run) is to go ahead and take the plunge and get yourself the system I’m describing in this article: Reverse Osmosis + Remineralizer + Water Ionizer which can go directly under your sink.

If you mention this article you can get the whole system [Reverse Osmosis System, 6 Galon Storage Tank, Pressurizer, Remineralizer, Melody Water Ionizer, and Under Sink Kit] all for $1650.00. Keep in mind we can get you set up with a customization of exactly what YOU want and need. Give me a call at 314-452-9560 or email me at support@alkaline-water-plus.info.

Chanson Water Ionizers Has a Great New Gadget that Promises to Extend the Life of your Plates!

The new gadget is called the “Protection Plus Ionizer Armor”. Here’s what it does:

  • Uses magnet technology to reduce or eliminate scaling and hard water build up on your water ionizer electrodes. This technology has been used in factories for years.
  • Extends the life of your water ionizer’s performance. 
  • Gives the ionized water a silky smooth, delicious taste.

One thing I like about this (other than the things listed above, of course, is the fact that it doesn’t add anything to the water. Here’s the video:

I like this new gadget and hope you do too! I’m buying mine today. It works with any water ionizer. I want to make sure my Melody water ionizer has the best advantage to last 20 or so years [which most water ionizers are designed to last], and I think this will help ensure it does that.

You can find this new gadget for sale on my website: http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/product/Armor  Mention this blog post in the comment section of the order form and I’ll give you a 10% discount on your Ionizer Armor order.  Enjoy!

Will Reverse Osmosis and Distilled Water Kill You? And, Why is RO So Much Worse than Alkaline Ionized Water?

If you consider your body slowly rotting away from over-acidity, then I will say yes, you’re being killed by RO or Distilled water if you don’t properly remineralize your water. Why? Well, the key is the lack of beneficial alkaline minerals in RO and distilled water. Sixteen years ago I was introduced to the concept that the pH (not the purity) of the water was the most essential thing to consider when looking at maintaining a natural healthy life style. If you take all the good alkaline minerals out of the water, what is left will be or shortly become acidic because it will leach acids from the air. 

This is something that can be easily tested (by me, you or anyone with or without a water ionizer) with a simple pH test kit.

Go buy a bottle of RO or distilled water and test it. It will be acidic. Probably pH 6.0. Not healthy!

Water distillers and RO machines operate on very different techniques, but have one thing in common. That’s the elimination of all minerals from the water (the good and the bad). The Japanese call this “dead water”, because it’s unnatural and unhealthy to have water with no minerals in it. With a water ionizer, the alkaline minerals all get pulled toward the alkaline electrodes and the acidic minerals and elements get pulled toward the acidic electrodes. What comes out of the bottom hose of a water ionizer is acidic water, virtually void of alkaline minerals. It tests between 3 pH (highly acidic) and 6 pH (somewhat acidic). Out the top spout, comes the healthy, fresh, filtered, ionized alkaline-mineral-rich water.

Your body gives off more than enough acidity …the end process in each cell is acid wastes.

What your body needs is more alkalinity to buffer the excess acids, so your blood doesn’t need to rob your joints and bones of the alkaline minerals it needs to maintain the proper pH. Therefore the answer to finding good healthy water is NOT in reverse osmosis machines or water distillation…it’s in water ionization! If you have to use something like reverse osmosis, you should properly remineralize your water then you can ionize it and get fantastic healthy water!

What makes water ionization healthy when RO and water distillation are not?

  1. First of all, the water ionizer filters the water and rids it of the undesirable elements while at the same time allows the good elements (alkaline minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, potasium, etc.) to pass through into your healthy-drinking alkaline ionized water. RO and water distillation just indescriminately get rid of everything (the good and the bad).
  2. Secondly, the process of ionization forces the harmful acidic elements, such as chlorine and fluoride, out the bottom (non-drinking water) spout. Further protection for you.
  3. Water Ionization also splits the water molecules, making the cluster-size smaller and more easily absorbed into cells.
  4. Water Ionization increases the hydrogen (OH-) in the ionized water, making it an effective antioxidant free-radical scavenger. RO and distillation do not do this.
  5. If there is a hard-water or contamination concern in your area, there are prefilters and devices you can get to go with your water ionizer to handle those problems. Or if you do need to use RO, then you should go the extra mile and remineralize it and then ionize your purified, remineralized water with a good water ionizer. This will likely add years and years of health and beauty to your life!

I have spoken to many people who used to use RO or distilled water, and made the switch to an alkaline water ionizer.

These people make some of the most profound changes (more proof of how unhealthy the RO or distilled water was for them). Just yesterday, a friend of mine who just made this switch (she used to purchase RO water in big 5-gallon jugs but felt something was wrong with it…it didn’t feel quite right). About a week ago she installed her new Melody water ionizer that I had sold her. She had purchased some pH test strips at the health food store and had been testing her saliva and urine before purchasing her water ionizer. Her urine and saliva were acidic (that’s with drinking the RO water for over 2 years).  After one week of drinking ionized water the urine and saliva tests showed up green (alkaline) for the first time!!!!! That’s after one week of switching to the right water. Here’s another thing she told me. After drinking water from her new Melody water ionizer for one day, she has had much more energy and has actually at the same time needed less sleep! Needless to say, she’s flabbergasted. I just love hearing stories like that, and I hear them a lot in this business. Alkaline ionized water is the real McCoy! I’ve experienced nothing else, health-wise, that tops it! Find out for yourself!

Just exactly how does the Jupiter Melody Water Ionizer compare with the Enagic LeveLuk SD501?

I’ve personally tested both the Jupiter Melody water ionizer and the Enagic water ionizer and found that in many ways the Melody water ionizer [at about 1/3 the price of the Enagic water ionizer] was superior to the Enagic water ionizer. How is this possible? The Enagic people boast so much about being the best, and how is it possible that they really only compare averagely? Here’s an observation I’ve made:

Enagic water ionizer sellers are not showing you their tests!

Is that because the Enagic LeveLuk SD501 doesn’t test better? That’s exactly why. Of course they say they test better. How would they get those high prices if they didn’t? But the fact is, that the only testing I have seen of the Enagic [and I've looked high and low for every water ionizer test on the internet] is by independent non-biased sellers (like myself) or distributors from other companies. And the Enagic has never performed better than the other water ionizers in any of those tests!

I’m going to show you my own tests of both the Melody water ionizer and the Enagic water ionizer (in videos below) and the complete comparison between the two water ionizers in this comprehensive water ionizer comparison chart.

Some of the things I like better about my Melody water ionizer are:

  • The self-cleaning design of the Melody water ionizer makes the water ionizer plate-cleaning within the water-cell automatic –after you turn off the water ionizer, rather than interrupting the water ionization process
  • The polarity of the water ionization plates shifts after each use, so you never get calcium build-up [which can be the biggest trouble down the line with any water ionizer investment].
  • The Melody water ionizer isn’t a new design and it’s been tried-and-true for many years. As far as water ionizers go, this is not a light statement to make.
  • The price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s a video I did 2 months ago where I tested the flow rates of the Melody water ionizer. This is a good sample video to show how great the ionized water quality consistently is in my Melody water ionizer.

I also did complete testing of the Enagic LeveLuk SD501 water ionizer at about the same time, and you can see in these 2 videos that the Enagic water ionizer does not produce as good ionized water quality as the Melody water ionizer. I’d say according to my tests today, that the Enagic water ionizer [at a price of $3,800.00] produces the equivalent level of water ionization quality as the new Venus water ionizer though. This is not to put down the ionized water produced by the Enagic water ionizer! I love the quality of water the Enagic water ionizer produces! And I think it’s a pretty machine too. I also love the water quality produced by the Venus water ionizer and the Melody water ionizer. Here are the Enagic water ionizer videos:

If you’re looking for more comparisons between the Melody and the Enagic water ionizers, see this: http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/melody-enagic-athena-water-ionizer-comparisons .  It’s a water ionizer comparison chart accompanied by videos that really go into depth on the Melody, Enagic, and Athena water ionizers. It shows how you have to look past just the pH and the ORP to judge the quality of a water ionizer. You have to do all that, but then take it one step further and calculate the rH (relative Hydrogen).

Also, If you’re looking for objective and scientific testing done by a laboratory of the Melody, Enagic, Tyent, Athena water ionizers, here’s the video to see:

How do both the water ionizers compare? They are both great…but one’s just a whole lot more expensive! People need to learn about water ionization for their health, because ionized water is top dog in my book [of what to do to keep your body healthy]. I think the everyday-person will be happy to know that you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to get this healthy, superior quality, ionized water into your body — cleansing your cells — every day of your life!

Also, with the payment plan I offer on my website, more and more people will be able to have daily access to nice, fresh, high pH and ORP, alkaline ionized water!
