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.

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.
