In this post I have listed out some tips to help you compare water ionizers.

My water ionizer comparison page, http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com/water-ionizer-comparisons , is about the best tool you can use to help you buy the exact water ionizer for you.  In addition to looking at my water ionizer comparison page with this guide in mind, I also suggest you watch some comparison videos to see all of the water ionizers in action. This will help you see all those unspoken things about each water ionizer that may make a big difference to you. After all, a water ionizer is an appliance you will have for many years…you want to be happy that you got the best one for you.

Water Ionizer Comparison Guide

Here are some of the main points people look for in purchasing their water ionizer. Keep these points in mind while you’re studying mine or any water ionizer comparison page.

• The first thing to look for is the ability of that water ionizer to get the best ORP [antioxidant quality] per unit of pH. In your drinking water levels of ionized water the ORP is significant. With the highest quality water ionizers you will get a greater negative ORP and more antioxidant protection for you.
• Quality of plates is a very significant comparison point. Water ionizer plates should be made of pure titanium [no alloys] and coated with pure platinum [no alloys] and baked and/or cured properly.
  • Solid plates vs. mesh may be significant: Mesh and electro-coating [computerized peaks and valleys]  increases surface area without increasing plate size. This can get you a better pH and ORP. If mesh or electro-coating of platinum coating to increase the surface area of platinum without increasing the plate size] is used it could be an attractant to scaling unless the water cell itself is cleaned continually. A company using mesh plates should also have, as part of their design, the continual cleaning of their water cell or some other means [i.e. ionizer armor, EOS...] to ensure no scaling of plates occurs.
  • The number and size of the plates is significant only in the fact that each water ionizer needs to be designed well: to get a high pH and ORP at a flow rate that is convenient for customers to use and will endure many years [20 or so] of continual use without faultering. There are pros and cons to more and bigger plates.
    • Cons: More and bigger plates means you have to put more electricity through the plates. This could wear them down faster than the smaller more efficiently designed plates. You also may be stopped from pouring water sometimes [to prevent overheating]
    • Pros: More and bigger plates could get you a better pH and ORP [but not necessarily] and you could also get a better flow rate for pouring your water faster.
• The internal self-cleaning of the water ionizer’s plates is important.
• The highest pH and lowest ph [pH range] is another comparison point I like to look at.
• The company itself [its integrity, stability, duration, organization] is another significant point
• The price is a significant comparison point
• The filtration [onboard filters] capability and quality is significant.
• The warranties offered is significant.
• The ease of use is a significant point.
• The versatility [can it go under and/or over the counter] is a point that some customers will care about.
