Coming Soon! The New Jupiter Water Ionizer Lifetime Warrantee! Starts August 15, 2009!!!

I just found out that as of August 15th the Jupiter water ionizers will come standard with a LIFETIME WARRANTY! This is the best news I think I’ve had all year! Wow!!! This is big NEWS!!!

Let me explain why I think the Jupiter water ionizer company is able to do this:

• The Jupiter Water Ionizer manufacturing and design company has been around for ages. It is the oldest existing company for making water ionizers. They have mastered the technology of making water ionizers, and do it very well. Their water ionizers are top-line work-horse water ionizers. The internal cleaning systems are triple good, because they reverse the polarity of the water cell with each use [in the Melody water ionizer] and every 15 seconds of use [in the Aquarius, Orion and Athena water ionizers], while at the same time you are never inconvenienced by having to wait while your water ionizer is doing an acid wash cycle.
• Most water ionizers are designed to last for over 20 years. I’ve had my original Ange water ionizer for 17 years and it still ionizes water like a charm! It’s never even needed repair. I’m guessing that the Jupiter company has enough experience with very few returns, repairs, etc. over the many years that they have it calculated to not be too much of a risk to them to offer this.
• The main reason why a water ionizer might break down is due to hard water damage. Jupiter is making it clear with this new lifetime warrantee that you, the consumer, are expected to take measures to prevent hard water damage. I recommend a simple magnetic natural hard water solution gadget which is called the Ionizer Armor. It will last indefinitely and is only $82,00. Even if you already have hard water scaling inside your water ionizer this Ionizer Armor will de-scale it!!! By the way magnets are a great and natural solution to hard water problems, and I recommend them for whole house water softening as well! Magnets are a much cheaper and HEALTHIER solution to your hard water problems! Beyond this, if you were to see signs of hard water scaling on your spout for instance…you would be expected to get a scale-block prefilter to prevent this. Those are very reasonable expectations, and only benefit you, the water ionizer consumer, because scaling reduces your pH and ORP over time…and good maintenance ensures you have the best ionized water always.
• Another big reason a water ionizer might break down is because of being dropped or otherwise abused by the customer. The warrantee does not cover this kind of damage.
• Of course another reason they are doing this, I’m sure, is to dominate the water ionizer sales market…and sell more water ionizers! The length of warrantee is certainly an issue for anyone wanting to make a big purchase like a water ionizer.

This lifetime warranty covers parts and labor for a full 5 years. Then after 5 years it covers parts forever and limited labor forever. Specifically, if the labor were to exceed $195.00, they would cover the excess for any given repair job. If at the time of the repair there were no available parts, due to the model no longer being made, they reserve the right to replace your water ionizer with a comparible one. Rest assured on this, the Jupiter company wants to keep all of their customers happy. IonLife right now has an A+ BBB rating, so I don’t anticipate any tricks related to warranty issues from them.

So that’s the big news of today, and I just couldn’t be more excited! The new warranty does not apply to water ionizers purchased before August 15th. If you purchased your water ionizer prior to this date, don’t be too sad. Your Jupiter water ionizer will probably never need repair anyway…especially if you properly care for it [see above].

If you want to pre-order a Jupiter Melody water ionizer or any other Jupiter water ionizer [order to be placed on the 15th] let me know. I have a special surprise for anyone pre-ordering their Jupiter water ionzer between now and August 13th! You’ll find out what it is when you call [1-888-420-1420].

Water Ionizer Demo: Melody & Tyent Ionizing Water for Over 12 Minutes

I heard that some Enagic dealers were claiming that every other water ionizer [except Enagic of course] overheats when you run the water ionizer for 10 minutes or longer. This video series debunks that. The first two parts demonstrate continuous flow for over 10 minutes for the Tyent 7070 water ionizer and the Jupiter Melody water ionizer. There is an intentional overlapping of certain parts so you can see that this flow was in fact continuous. As you can see, I’m testing the ionized water [both alkaline and acidic] throughout the videos. This is to ensure I’ve got correct comparisons between the Melody and Tyent water ionizers throughout

Therefore, there are two things happening in the videos. The first is that both water ionizers are being tested to see if they can run continuously for 10+ minutes and continue to be ionizing the water with a high pH and ORP throughout. They both can do this…so this debunks the Enagic statements that no other water ionizer [other than Enagic] can do this I want to make a strong point here that I DO NOT suggest to continuously flow water from your water ionizer without any breaks. However if there is a need to do this once in a while, this video series shows you that you can.

If you hear other fabricated stories from Enagic dealers like this one, let me know and I’ll be happy to test it. You can find my # and email on my website: http://www.alkalinewaterplus.com

The other thing I’m testing with these videos is I’m doing a continual comparison of the Tyent and Melody throughout the entire 12-min. period [also the part 3 video does a final comparison about a minute after]. Usually when you see comparisons, you see one reading for each water ionizer. You don’t get the benefit of continual observation over an extended time. So I’m going to say this testing should be about the most valid comparison of two water ionizers for pH, ORP and rH of any testing you’ve ever seen.

Here’s the videos:

I hope this demonstration sets a new standard in water ionizer comparison testing!

How do the Jupiter Melody water ionizer and the Tyent 7070 water ionizer compare?

Close to the same!!! …as I knew they would! This is one more example of why I say “find the water ionizer and company you like and buy one!” These water ionizer manufacturers know how to manufacture great water ionizers!

This is so much better than what I had for my first 15 1/2 years of drinking ionized water…and I thought that water ionizer was a miracle worker!

Some things I think are good things to consider, other than the pH, ORP and rH are: the integrity of the company and manufacturer, how much you trust them & know about them, the internal cleaning systems…how well the water ionizer cleans the plates, the warranty, the BBB ratings, the certifications, how long the company has been around, how the water ionizer looks to you, and of course the price! Hope this helps!

Which Water Ionizer is Best? How Do the Melody, KYK, Life, Enagic, Chanson and Tyent 7070 Water Ionizers Compare?

I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to study and compare water ionizers for a long, long time now, and I’m going to share some insight with you along with my latest video comparing the Melody and Tyent 7070 water ionizers at the level 3 alkaline drinking water settings. I’ll follow this with comparing all the major water ionizers [briefly]: the Tyent, KYK, Melody, Athena, Chanson, Life, and Enagic.

For your benefit, I let the water ionizers flow for a minute or two before I started the video. I did this for three reasons: first I needed to get the water flow regulated so that the glasses were being filled at the same rate. This could impact the results, so I wanted to rule that out. Secondly I wanted to simulate frequent use and thirdly, I wanted to ensure that the level of water selected was in fact what was coming out of the water ionizer’s spout.

So here’s the video:

I flipped the tester back and forth to ensure my readings were correct and fairly stable. They were. The results are in the chart below. My interpretation of the results is this: these are both FANTASTIC WATER IONIZERS! Plain and simple. They are built differently, obviously, and by different companies, using different plates, different water cell designs, different power wattage, etc., however the designers must both be doing something right. The reason I say this is that the designers in both companies obviously know how to make water ionizers really well if they can get these results! These are far better results than I got with my old Japanese Ange water ionizer for 15 years. The differences in pH/ORP are negligible and the rH is slightly better in the Tyent, but really too close to really  say there’s much of a difference.

A similar thing happened to me when I compared the Melody and the Enagic water ionizers. Though they were built very differently, they were both obviously designed really well — because they tested out almost equal.

In video comparisons around the internet, I’ve noticed this about certain water ionizers that are often compared with each other [because they are evidently the most popular and reliably made water ionizers available in today's highly competitive water-ionizer market]: namely the Tyent, Life, Chanson, KYK, Melody and Athena water ionizers — they all test pretty close to each other in pH/ORP and when you do the rH calculation to determine the true healthiness of it…they really look close!

Well, that’s my take on it. Hope it helps!

A Good Explanation of the Melody and Athena Water Ionizers’ Internal Cleaning Systems is in the video, below.

I came across this video yesterday, and thought I’d share it with you. It’s over a year old, but just as applicable today as it was when it was made!  It’s amazing to me how much better the Melody and Athena are than any other water ionizer for their water ionizer water cell internal cleaning systems. I’ve seen this kind of thing in action with real-live electrodes and the amazing difference this kind of internal cleaning, flow-chamber-switching system makes!

When doing water ionizer comparisons, don’t forget to look at each water ionizer’s internal cleaning system!

It is so important to clean your water ionizer’s electrode plates, that I’m surprised so few water ionizer companies are taking this point seriously enough. I’d imagine that competitive pressure will eventually force all water ionizer manufacturers to address this issue. But in the meantime, we do have the Jupiter water ionizers which have adequate cleaning of electrodes…along with adequate everything, really! It appears that KYK is also a close runner-up or equal…now with their automatic clean-as-you-use electrode cleaning system and new draining system!

Actually KYK has another feature I think beats out the Jupiter ionizers, and that’s the fact that their filters get rid of the fluoride! That’s something that all water ionizers do up to 85% or 90%, but to get more than that, you usually need to prefilter or do RO…which just adds another thing buy and attached to your line.

Chanson has an exceptional looking product that all water ionizers can use, and that’s the “Ionizer Armor“. It’s a strong magnet that puts a temporary charge on the input water, so that when the hard water passes through the water ionizer it won’t tend to stick to the insides of the plumbing and film up the plates with what is called scale build-up.

With the big deal people are making these days about making sure they purchase the water ionizer with the best pH/ORP/rH on testing, I think it will be only the next evolution for all the companies to jump in there and do what it takes to prove their cleaning systems will keep those pH/ORP & rH scores high well into the future with consistently well-cleaned plates.

Lots of testing has been done on brand-new water ionizers. I say it’s time to start testing older models …after months or even years of use! Good idea!

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.

There are several videos on You Tube with Rob Gray concluding that Tyent is the best water ionizer. Rob doesn’t list his web-store, and maybe he doesn’t have any affiliation. Rob tests several water ionizers and concludes that Tyent is the best in each of his several videos. The Tyent is a good water ionizer, but not better than the Athena, Melody or Life water ionizers. I’d say, it’s about the same, because it produces about an equal rH (relative Hydrogen, see below).  These are all great water ionizers!

I always appreciate knowing who I’m talking to, though, and what their stake is in it (if they’re proclaiming themselves to be objective they still have a reason they’re producing this video). Rob appears objective, but I wish he would tell us who he is (i.e. which water ionizers he sells and what the name of his webstore is).

In this video, Rob is obviously trying to show the Tyent as the winner, when in fact all three water ionizers in this video are winners. And, if you look at the rH (relative Hydrogen: the actual health value of the water [omitting the effect that jacking up the pH has on your test results), you see how close all the water ionizers in this test group came to each other. When compared with regular tap water as ranging between 32 and 38, the ionized water at a level of 21 rH is very good. Here’s the results:
