The Top 10 things to Look for in a Water Ionizer

These are the 10 most important things you must consider when looking at a water ionizer:

1.      Space

2.      Health

3.      Beauty

4.      Budget

5.      Local water conditions

6.      Ease of use

7.       Flow rate

8.      Certifications

9.      Warranty

10. Technology

 

1. Space – Decide where the water ionizer will go, and measure the space you have to put it in. For under the counter installations, make sure the ionizer has in-faucet controls so you don’t have to go under the sink to operate your ionizer.

 

2. Health – Buyers who want to drink alkaline water for health reasons need to ensure ionizer pH and –ORP levels meet their requirements.  High-end Life Ionizers® with GRID plates should be favored for health needs, because they are able to reach high -ORP levels while producing water with moderate pH levels for long term health maintenance needs.

 

3. Beauty – Hair and skin benefit from an ionizer that produces acid water in the 3 – 3.5 pH range. The best machines for this use are high-end machines since they can produce acidic water in the right range without chemicals. Life Ionizers® provides the perfect pH rinse for hair and skin.

 

4. Budget – Cutting costs does not mean cutting quality. Buyers on a budget should look for modern technology and value. Life Ionizers® features all of these things:

 

• SMPS power supply
• High power system
• Multiple internal filtration
• GRID plates
• Options like UV Light Technology
• Pre-filter system included free

 

5. Local Water Conditions – The water going into the ionizer affects the quality of the water coming out. Most companies have pre-filters available, but only Life Ionizers® provides you with a free pre-filter system that is matched to your local water conditions..

NSF/ANSI certification is considered to be the mark of excellence within the water treatment industry. Life Ionizers’ full lines of water treatment systems meet NSF/ANSI standards.

 

6. Ease of Use – Ionizer controls should be easy to understand and accessible. The best way to check is to enlarge an image of the ionizer you are looking at and see what the controls look like. If the controls look self explanatory, they probably are.

 

The design and appeal of the faucet and access to the ionizer controls are the important factors to consider with an under the counter installation. Make sure the ionizer controls are part of the faucet control, and that they are easy to use and the displays are easy to read.

 

Warning: Some manufacturers’ under the counter conver­sion kits may not be legal for use in some states. Be sure to check if the ionizer’s conversion kit is legal for use in your state! Life Ionizer’s faucets are WQA NSA/ANSI Certified.

 

Life Ionizers faucet controls set the standard for ease of use in under the counter ionizers, and are certified for use worldwide.

 

7. Flow Rate – Flow rate is not a very important consideration when choosing between ionizers. Most home ionizers sold today flow between ¾ and 1 gallon per minute, and will fill a glass or a water bottle in about the same time.

 

8. Certifications – Industry certifications ensure the ionizer that you buy and the company that you do business with meets the highest standards for:

 

• Health
• Safety
• Quality
• Reliability
• Sound business practices
• Environmental
