Why Bigger is NOT Better

A Call to End the Water Wars

Ian Hamilton is the author of The Untold Truth about the Causes of Disease and a well respected authority on water ionization.
He comments on the recent shift in the USA from looking at how best to serve and educate others - to promoting what company has the biggest and most electrodes in their water ionizers.
“The fact that size and the number of electrodes is even important reflects a failure in the marketing of alkaline balance, taking it into a very macho frequency of comparison.”
“We all know (especially in electronics) that bigger isn’t necessarily better and that the cost in power and wear for a bit more pH and flow rate is absurd, especially when the high pH means the b….. stuff is undrinkable.”
“I believe the discerning health market is ill served and needs more acid/alkaline balance and feel-good marketing. Most of the better smaller ionizers with 4-5 electrodes can easily get the 9-9.5 pH and ORP of -300 to -400 that is the ideal range recommended by alkalizing experts such as Dr. Ted Baroody (Alkalize or Die), Sang Whang (Reverse Aging) and Dr. Robert Young (The pH Miracle).“

“So lets help steer the conversation back to what it was before it was controlled by a number of Enagic™ representatives and a couple of internet sellers riding on their bandwagon.
Let us again focus on relevant questions such as what is healthy water, how long has a company being in business, do they import from a true manufacturer or from just an assembler, what is their return and warranty policies, how well do their ionizers perform under different conditions, how competitive and real is their pricing, how efficient do their ionizers work after 5 or 10 years and how do they look after their customers?“

Where are examples of size increasing as electronics improve?

Comment:
The "bigger electrode is better" conversation is one created by some importers trying to justify the high price of their antiquated ionizers, which side-by-side independent lab tests show to be false. Specifically what is better from these machines with more electrode surface area, other than flow rate? The answer is; NOTHING! Bigger is just bigger, not better.
Jupiter Science/ IonLife electrodes are manufactured in Japan. Do you know where Tyent and Life Ionizer etc cells come from?
Side by side testing of competitors machines in the field is often showing a marked decrease in ability to create good alteration to the water over time due to the higher heat from the high wattage, inefficient and outdated self cleaning system (see below) and the use of caustic chloride solution to make acidic water.

Please consider the following facts:

  • All companies boasting about the size of their electrodes are either buying from assemblers (not manufacturers), using outdated technology from another company or importing ionizers that use cheap Chinese or Taiwanese copy-cell technology.
    One importer, for example, who is retailing an 11 plate ionizer for about $5000, and claims a flow rate of 4-5 liters a minute, fails to mention that only half the cells are used on a rotating basis and that the flow rate needed to get decent pH and –ORP is no more than 3 lpm. So for all that money, extra size and about 5 times the power of a Jupiter Science/ IonLife ionizer you get no better pH or ORP. In the 30 years that Jupiter Science has been manufacturing water ionizers their cells have DECREASED in size through improving the quality.
    Why gamble on a newly imported ionizer using cheap electrodes from China or Taiwan?

  • Jupiter Science is a true manufacturer and their ionizers are chosen by companies such as Hyundai, Samsung, LG and Toyo Industries. All the cells in Jupiter Science ionizers are manufactured by Jupiter Science in Japan then assembled in their Korean factories.

 

  • For years Jupiter Science/ IonLife ionizers have been the ionizer company of choice for the best known alkalizing diet professionals in the USA Experts such as Sang Whang ( Reverse Aging), Dr. Ted Baroody (Alkalize or Die) and Dr. Robert Young (The pH Miracle). We think having experts choose our products without incentives rather than pay celebrities to endorse our products is more relevant and hope you do too.

  • The Tennant Company (trading as TNC) is one of the largest manufacturers of commercial cleaning machines in the world. Tennant spent over $200,000 just researching what company manufactured the best quality and longest lasting cells. They choose Jupiter Science/ IonLife as their supplier then went on to win the 2009 European Innovation Award for their cleaners that use electrically activated water for cleaning instead of chemicals.
    See our News Section for more details.

  • Large size ionizers use at least twice the power of Jupiter Science/ IonLife ionizers yet fail to create water that has better pH or –ORP than the more efficient, more green, more compact, more durable and more affordable ionizers from Jupiter Science/ IonLife.

  • The only true testing of different models using a certified independent laboratory, showed that Jupiter Science/ IonLife ionizers outperformed other brands more than twice as expensive (using outdated larger electrode technology). Please Click Here for more information.

  • Only Jupiter Science/ IonLife ionizers use a patented 1:1 cleaning ratio that ensures your ionizer electrodes are kept clean and will be working at top efficiency for many years to come. Other brands have a 15:1 or worse cleaning ratio which means that there will be more calcium and mineral build-up over time, reducing efficiency.

  • IonLife was the first company to offer 5 years warranty and now limited life time warranty on their ionizers. Also compare our satisfaction and return policies to other companies. We lead and others follow.

  • Jupiter Science/ IonLife have been selling water ionizers in the USA longer than any other existing company. In this time we have seen many companies come and go, leaving customers without any place to buy filters or get warranty work done.

  • All the major importers that retail or wholesale water ionizers were at some stage selling Jupiter Science/ IonLife ionizers (for example Tyent, Life Ionizers and KYK). All these importers (before selling Jupiter/ IonLife ionizers) were internet sellers selling a variety of other products and were without any prior training in water technology.

  • IonLife has an A+ ranking with the Better Business Bureau and continues to offer professional and caring advise, plus after sales service, that is second to none. We guarantee that in buying through IonLife you will be buying the best quality ionizers without the hype.

  • IonLife was the USA first importer to have NSF certification and UL for its ionizers (this ensures that our ionizers have been shown as safe to use under existing USA and Canadian conditions). There are also a number of other certifications including one for Jupiter Science (Emco Tech) having an ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certificate. More details Here.

  • Only filters for Jupiter Science/ IonLife ionizers are manufactured in the USA using NSF certified ingredients.
    See why our filters outperform the other brands Here.

  • As well as putting out misleading information about electrode size, some importers claim to have inbuild pH and ORP meters but these are nothing more than gimics and we guarantee are incapable of giving accurate readings. Jupiter Science/ IonLife guarantee best performance at honest prices.

It is so easy to pay web developers to create an attractive site and so easy to say almost anything to get a sale (especially if you have little to lose).
We hope the information above will help you become more empowered to make the best choice possible for you, your friends and family. And please be very cautious about sites that claim to be making independent comparisons of different brands. These all cost money to make and money to get into search engines and all are there to trick visitors into buying a particular brand or brands.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
