TyentTM Ace, Edge and UEC
Design - Prince or frog? You decide. Will it grace my kitchen and be a welcome addition? How large is it? How refined is the design?
| Feature | Alkaviva | TyentTM |
|---|---|---|
| Color Options | Two-tone Dark Charcoal & Metallic Silver | Metallic Gray |
| Size | Compact | More compact than 'Life' / larger than AlkaViva |
| Overall Design | Refined European design. High-end finish works well with a variety of décor / appliances. | New model is their best looking Ionizer. Competitive, high-end quality like AlkaViva. |
| Do NOT overlook filtration. Healthy water starts with clean. Ionizers filters are not all created equal. The scary part? Unfiltered contaminants are ionized and made more bio-available. | ||
| How Good Are Filters? | The result of 3 years and $500,000+ in R&D. UltraWater's proprietary impregnated carbon block technology uses 16 medias to target broad based contaminants - as shown in independent test results. Unmatched performance. | Granulated Activated Carbon plus a .01M membrane for microbes only. Filters do not remove broad-based contaminants like heavy metals etc. |
| Are the Filters Tested? | (Yes) - EPA / NELAP certified lab tests show a 99.9% reduction of 172 contaminants (including arsenic) across a broad range of contaminants. | (YES) - but with questionable caveats. Done in unrealistic parts per billion and missing tough to remove toxins like arsenic, chromium etc. |
| Contaminants: Heavy Metals | ✓ | Some |
| Contaminants: Chemicals | ✓ | Some |
| Contaminants: Glyphosate | ✓ | Some |
| Contaminants: Pest/herbicides | ✓ | Some |
| Contaminants: Pharma | ✓ | Some |
| Are Filters Biodegradable? | ✓ | ✗ |
| Extra External Filters Required? | Not Needed. Plus if you have a unique situation, AlkaViva has a complete range of specialty filters to handle anything. | Not Needed. And they offer a reasonable choice in external specialty filters. |
| Filtration Gimmicks? | NONE. Just credible, verifiable testing, with clear protocols, showing high reductions of even the toughest things like arsenic, cadmium etc. | .01M FILTER. This filter only removes microbes (killed by chlorine) in treated water. Useful for wells, but does NOT reduce broad-based contaminants. |
| Power for Top Performance | 150 Watts; 1.25 Amps | 800 Watts; 6.7 Amps |
| Wattage Needed For Top Result | 130 Watts | 750 Watts |
| Warranty | Limited Lifetime | Lifetime |
| 6 pH Range (No Additives Used) | 3.5 pH to 11 pH | 4 pH to 11 pH |
| H2 Capacity | 1.0+ ppm | .8 ppm |
| -ORP Capacity | -850 ORP | -850 ORP |
| How Long Selling Ionizers | 17 years | 14 years |
| When Accredited With BBB? | 2007 | 2009 |
Power: too much of a good thing is bad! Inefficient large plates require higher power. High power creates more heat and stresses the plating, shortening lifespan.
Regular cleaning of the cell greatly reduces risk of damage and scaling. Most models clean regularly in the background as you use, but others do not. The cell is the most expensive and critical part of an ionizer.
Be sure to carefully look at the 'fine print' when checking out warranty.
What is critical is how powerful is the pH, -ORP and H2 at drinkable levels. Ideal drinking range is 9 - 9.5 pH. Measurements should also be taken at full flow.
AlkaViva is the oldest importer of water ionizers outside Asia. Owners of Tyent and Tyent companies were AlkaViva dealers before importing themselves.
