Nexus X Blue Water Ionizer

Today I am going to review the Nexus X Blue Water Ionizer for you. It is an excellent machine and I am going to go over its features.

Nexus X Blue

The Nexus water ionizers are manufactured in Korea, which is great. Korea considers water ionizers medical equipment and so have very strict quality control on all of their ionizers. You won't get a shoddy product from Nexus. I would steer clear of water ionizers from China. China does not have the same quality controls as Korea or Japan.

Nexus X-Blue Features

In the video I made I compared the different levels of ionized water the Nexus X provides.
I took samples from all 4 levels, the acidic water and some ordinary tap water. Here were the results:

pH
Acidic water 3.3 (anything below a pH of 4 is great for killing germs, by the way.)
Tap water 9.0 (St. Louis, Missouri, USA has pretty decent alkaline tap water)
Level 1 9.3
Level 2 9.9
Level 3 10.7
Level 4 11.0

ORP (measurement of antioxidants)
Level 1 -183
Level 2 -400
Level 3 -612
Level 4 -770

(I didn't test the ORP levels of the acidic or tap water because ORP meters, when they're used to measuring negative numbers, don't like to switch to positive numbers, which is what we would've gotten from the acidic and tap water samples.)

Cost and Warranty 

The Nexus X Water Ionizer is THE best water ionizer for the money. You can purchase one through my store for less than a thousand. And it comes with a 5-year warranty on parts and Lifetime on labor! That is a steal for the levels of pH and ORP demonstrated above and in my YouTube video I posted.

My customers who have purchased this water ionizer have had nothing but good things to say about this ionizer and you won't be disappointed in it at all.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Nexus Smart 7P vs. Enagic SD501

Today I’m reviewing each of these high-end water ionizers and comparing their pH and ORP, along with their features. While they are both very good, quality machines, one of them edges out the other in features and warranty.

pH and ORP

The pH levels of both machines were very similar. I tested the Enagic at the 9.5 level and the pH of the water was 10.0, which is very good. The water I tested on level 3 of the Smart 7P, a comparable level, registered at a pH of 9.7 when I tested it with my pH meter.

These similar pH readings should give similar ORP measurements (ORP measures the antioxidant level of the water – the lower the number, the better. A good ORP will be a negative number, so -100 would not be as good as, say -500.)

The Enagic SD501 had an ORP of -239, while the Smart 7P had an ORP of -271.

The Smart 7P has a better ORP measurement, which I attribute to the continual-cleaning feature.

Features of Each Water Ionizer

The Smart 7P water ionizer has a very important feature that I mentioned earlier – continual cleaning. This means that at every moment the machine is cleaning its plates, keeping build-up from collecting. This build-up affects the performance of the machine and reduces its efficiency.

The Enagic does an acid wash on its plates every so many liters of water processed by the ionizer. This leads to a build-up of minerals on the plates that affect the pH and ORP of the water. I always highly recommend a water ionizer that has continual cleaning.

The filter port on the Enagic is located on the front of the machine. While it is fairly easy to pop the filter out of the compartment, there are two washers you need to make sure you don’t lose. They can’t be found at a regular hardware store and will need to be special ordered directly from the company itself. It is also slightly difficult to put the filter back in; not horribly hard, just a little more difficult than other models I sell. You also have to ensure you get the filter in there completely otherwise it will leak.

The Smart 7P ionizer has its filter compartment located on the back. It’s very easy to snap the filter in and out and it is designed to be leak proof.

The warranty on the Enagic is a 5-year warranty on parts, whereas the 7P has a lifetime warranty on parts.

Pricing

The pricing of the Enagic is roughly $4000.

The price tag on the Smart 7P is $1500.

Why such a huge price discrepancy when the two machines are fairly comparable, with the Smart 7P actually having better features? The Enagic is sold through a multi-level marketing system and you have to increase the price of the product in order to be able to afford paying the seller of the machine, as well as their immediate upline.

The Smart 7P you can buy through my store and I get them directly from the manufacturer. There are no middle men to pay.

Bottom Line

While there is no doubt the Enagic is a quality machine that will provide you with great ionized water, I still highly recommend the Smart 7P based on the data I have presented you here. Save yourself $2500 and purchase the Smart 7P.

Below is a short video I made of my testing and demonstration of these two ionizers. Let me know if you have any questions.

A Review of the Jupiter Melody Water Ionizer

Today we are going to review the Jupiter Melody water ionizer.

The Melody has been around for years and is a very efficient and reliable water ionizer. It is also compact and easy to move and transport.

Features of the Melody

The Melody has a little port on the top of the ionizer that has a place for you to add additional minerals to your water. You can add little balls that will add extra magnesium or calcium to your water, if so desired. You can also add scale guard to this port. These are small crystals that fit in the basket that aid in keeping calcium from building up on the plates of the water ionizer.

Another feature of the Melody ionizer is the ease with which you can change the filter in the back. The plate in the back easily comes off and the filter comes out very easily, making changing the filter hassle-free. Other water ionizers are more complicated when it comes to changing the filter. Then to reset the filter, there is a small button you press and hold down. It will ding when it has been reset.

There are 4 levels on the Melody ionizer. At level 3 the pH of the alkaline water is about 10. The ORP reading for level 4 is roughly -700, which is very good.

The acidic water has a pH of about 2.8 at level 3. You can use this for cleaning and other uses I’ve talked about here.

The Jupiter Melody has continuous cleaning built in. It continually cleans the plates so that you don’t lose ORP in your drinking water.

Another nice feature of the Melody is that each time you turn it on it will remember the settings you used last. So, if you had the music playing last time and you had it set at a level 3, when you turn it on next, it will automatically use these settings. This will save the hassle of having to select the settings you wish to use each time.

Here is the video demonstration I posted on YouTube so you can see the Melody in action.

Here is another article I wrote a while ago on the Jupiter Melody.

The Enagic SD501 vs. the Jupiter Athena

Today we are going to go over the results you get in pH and ORP in both the Enagic SD501 and the Jupiter Athena water ionizer. The SD501 retails for $4000 and the Athena can be purchased here for $2395 ($1600 cheaper!)

Now, one would think that you would get a better result from a machine that costs $1600 more, but you’ll be surprised to see that’s not always the case.

ORP

Measuring the ORP of the water output of each machine is measuring the antioxidant level of the two waters.

The SD501 has three levels of alkaline ionized drinking water, each level was tested with a slow and fast water flow. The ORP measured at its three levels and each water flow was as follows:

Level 1

Slow water flow: -87 ORP

Fast water flow: -122 ORP

Level 2

Slow water flow: -121 ORP

Fast water flow: -137 ORP

Level 3

Slow water flow: -168 ORP

Fast water flow: -481 ORP

The Jupiter Athena has three levels of alkaline ionized drinking water, too, but was only tested at the slow water flow [1.5 liters per minute]. The Athena's ORP measurements were:

Level 1: -112 ORP

Level 2: -566 ORP

Level 3: -806 ORP

As you can see the Jupiter Athena out-performed the Enagic SD501 by quite a bit. This is due to the fact that the Athena has continual cleaning of the platinum plates. Every 15 seconds the plates are being cleaned to give you the best water ionization possible.

The Enagic doesn’t have this feature and so can’t maintain a high ORP with a build-up of minerals on the plates. The Enagic has intermittent cleaning, which means it cleans itself after so many liters of water have passed through it.

Now, let’s look at the pH of each machine.

PH

The pH of the highest alkaline ionized drinking level of the Enagic was 10.9 and the pH of the highest drinking level of the Jupiter was 10.8. With the pH-levels so similar, there really shouldn’t be such a huge discrepancy in the ORP. Note: the pH of both the Enagic and the Athena can get higher, but the higher level is for cleaning, and not drinking, purposes. The higher pH-levels weren't being tested for this post though, because my focus is on healthy alkaline ionized drinking water. 

One of the main reasons there is a greater ORP per pH-level of the Athena, is because of the fact of no build-up on the plates and therefore no losing performance. The Athena cleans its plates constantly, non-stop, so maintains high ORP-readings at each pH-level. Visit my Jupiter Athena page to learn about the other reasons that make the Athena so much better than the Enagic. https://alkalinewaterplus.com/our-products/jupiter-athena-water-ionizer

So, there you are. It’s pretty easy to see that not only will you save $1600 on the Jupiter Athena, but you will also get better water supplied to you and your family. You really can’t beat that.

Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Cathie LoGrasso. I have created this blog to review and compare different electronic water ionizer machines, as well as related products.

I have been using a water ionizer for over 20 years! When I saw the dramatic effects this water created I never went back to tap or bottled water and my family and I have been drinking it ever since.

I was a teacher/principal for 24 years and after retiring I wanted to continue helping others. I decided to educate people on the wonderful changes brought about by switching to alkaline ionized water. I opened my online store 8 years ago and have since accumulated a massive website with articles, blogs, products, etc, all related to ionized water. I have studied, tested, inspected, analyzed and been vigorous in my goal to become very learned in this subject so I may then impart this knowledge to you. I have 100s of videos on YouTube and have written many blogs and articles on this subject. This has been my second career and I enjoy it!

This website will be here to further educate and enlighten people on the subject of water ionizers and the related products. It will be a frank and straight-forward look at the different products on the market so you can more easily make the decision on which ionizer is right for you and your family.

I sell a wide array of water ionizers and am not paid by one specific company so there is no bias or prejudice. There are obviously water ionizers that are of a higher quality than others, but there are many factors that go into choosing the right one, such as finances, quantity of water consumed, what you'll be using it for, your level of health, etc. However, all of the ionizers I provide to my customers have been tested personally by me and provide a high standard of water I would be willing for me or my family to consume.

Please drop by often and comment on the articles. You can share them with your friends and loved ones, too.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments, or even suggestions on what you would like to read about.
