LIFE IonizersTM MXL Series

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	LIFE IonizersTM
Color Options	Two-tone Dark Charcoal & Metallic Silver	Black / Graphite
Size	Compact	Larger size - taller and wider
Overall Design	Refined European design. High-end finish works well with a variety of décor / appliances.	You better like black! Very square and boxy. Unrefined.
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 with Vitamin C (that targets only chlorine). Life sends a “customized” three external filter set (actually same filter set no matter where you live).
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.	None posted on website.
Contaminants: Heavy Metals	✓	✗
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.	REQUIRED. Life’s answer to their limited internal filter is to send you three more external ones. You must replace all 5 filters annually, or void your warranty.
Filtration Gimmicks?	NONE. Just credible, verifiable testing, with clear protocols, showing high reductions of even the toughest things like arsenic, cadmium etc.	UV LIGHT. UV is unnecessary in an ionizer using treated water since chlorine kills microbes.. It is also ineffective due to lack of adequate treatment time (due to fast flow rate).
Power for Top Performance	150 Watts; 1.25 Amps	800 Watts; 6.7 Amps
Wattage Needed For Top Result	130 Watts	800 Watts
Warranty	Limited Lifetime	Limited Lifetime* Must install and maintain external pre-filters / housing to be valid

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 Life Ionizers and Tyent companies were AlkaViva dealers before importing themselves.
