Overall Design

Alkaviva

Refined European design. High-end finish works well with a variety of décor / appliances.

LIFE IonizersTM

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?

Alkaviva

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.

LIFE IonizersTM

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?

Alkaviva

(Yes) - EPA / NELAP certified lab tests show a 99.9% reduction of 172 contaminants (including arsenic) across a broad range of contaminants.

Extra External Filters Required?

Alkaviva

Not Needed. Plus if you have a unique situation, AlkaViva has a complete range of specialty filters to handle anything.

LIFE IonizersTM

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?

Alkaviva

NONE. Just credible, verifiable testing, with clear protocols, showing high reductions of even the toughest things like arsenic, cadmium etc.

LIFE IonizersTM

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: 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.
