Choosing a Water Ionizer for Your Family

A water ionizer is a long-term purchase, so it is worth comparing a few things before you decide.

Number of plates

Plates do the work of ionizing the water. Home models usually have 3, 5, 7 or 9 plates. More plates give stronger and more stable performance, especially where the source water is hard.

pH and ORP range

Check the range of alkaline and acidic water the machine can make, and ask for a live demonstration with your own tap water.

Filter cost and life

Ask how often the filter must be changed and what a replacement costs per year.

Cleaning system

Hard water leaves scale on plates. An automatic cleaning system keeps performance steady without manual work.

Service and warranty

Look for a service network in your city and a clear written warranty.

Price

Compare the total cost over five years, including filters and service, not only the purchase price. A free home demo is the best way to compare machines side by side.
