If I am interested in a subject or product, I do a lot of research as I am a ghost writer by profession for numerous authors. My clients depend on me to do my homework.To begin with, we have had this water ionizer working in our home now for about a week and we love it. There are a multitude of benefits listed for drinking alkaline ionized water and you can find articles all over the web. You can also find a lot of overpriced machines. Most units appear to be well made, and there are many reasons given by each company why they are the best, but value and price do not add up in this fairly "new" emerging industry. As a case in point, I remember when my neighbor bought his plasma TV after the technology had just been launched and he paid nearly $10K for his TV. Water ionizers appear to be very much the same.After considerable study, the two things we determined that were common among all alkaline water ionizers were pH levels and ORP. We read all the specifications on all the web sites for all the brands. One thing we did not want in our water was additives. So the machine we wanted to purchase needed to be chemical free. We also wanted to be assured that the plastics were BPA free or FDA approved. We found both these features with the Aqua Ionizer Deluxe 7.0.We decided to buy a tester for ORP. I'll warn you that there are many of these ORP testers and most are tricky to work with according to people I have spoken with. They need to be cleaned in a solution and brushed with ultrafine sand paper. When I explained to some of the makers what we were testing, they were honest and told me that their devise would not work at its best for ionized water.After speaking with a rep, I chose the "Pinpoint" ORP meter, which cost was about $120. Our goal was to reach a standard drinking water at about 9 to 9.5pH and get a negative (-) ORP of about -250. From what we have read about the antioxidant factor ORP, this would then be a great level for our drinking water. I don't necessarily recommend you purchase an ORP meter to prove that the Aqua Ionizer Deluxe 7.0 works, but I did and it does. Remember, I do research for books for a living.ORP and pH TestingI can tell you that we were more than happy when our tests revealed that our standard Los Angeles tap water (our water started at about a pH of 7 and the ORP was a positive +135) flowing through the Aqua Ionizer Deluxe 7.0 shifted to a 9.5 on the "daily drinking" setting and gave us a negative -450 to -475, better than what we had hoped for. We then tested the highest setting, which is for "cooking," and got an 11pH and -815 ORP. Yes, we didn't get the advertised -850 ORP, but these meters are never 100 percent correct, so that was good enough for us.When speaking with the manufacturer, they recommended that since we are on LA city water that the internal activated carbon filter would be adequate. We found the filter to be fine for our source water. However, they do have other filter options if we need them. We also found out that the Aqua Ionizer Deluxe 7.0 can be set up under the sink with a low-cost kit. We may consider that for the future.SummaryIf you're like me, looking for a good value, good product support (from the manufacturer), Amazon Prime benefits and want to trust someone who does his research, then I highly recommend this very user-friendly Aqua Ionizer Deluxe 7.0 water ionizer. Enjoy!

I researched the numerous machines offered and wanted one that was portable, could move between houses. I selected this because of reviews and price point. When the machine was delivered, the first thing I noticed was that the water connection was for a "standard" faucet - all mine are designer with the faucet head convertible between stream and shower - so the connection provided didn't allow me to connect to any of the faucets I have in my house. (I later learned there is an "under sink" adaption but for about and added $85 but I didn't want that because of my needs for portability.)I called the 800 number provided and the rep, Greg, patiently tried to talk me through alternative connections - which, while very clear, didn't make any sense to me. But then, the rep noticed that my source call was from Reno. Greg, the rep, told me the company was moving to Reno the next week and that he would come by my house to look at the situation and see if he couldn't offer a solution.I was concerned that this time frame would not allow me to return the machine to Amazon within the 30 day return period and Greg indicated that if the time went beyond the return period, the company would accept the return for the full price. WOW, that was an assurance.Anyway, I put a notation on my calendar and the following week, busy with other demands, was pleasantly surprised when Greg called. Said he had made the move to Reno and the company was in transit but that he was available to meet with me and get the machine up and working.Long story short. Greg was able to thread the hoses through a soap dispenser hole in the sink (I gave up the dispenser which I rarely used anyway), connect the water to the existing hose under the sink with the standard connections the company had provided in the packaging, and with the addition of a shut off valve (about $8 at Lowe's) in the water line above the sink, had the unit in working order.While most of you won't get the personal service because of the unique situation I had, I was so amazed that Greg, as a representative of this company, went so far beyond the excellent instructions he offered over the phone, to make sure that I was able to connect the machine and start using it. Moreover, he assured me that if there were any questions or problems, to call and they would do their utmost to address them.So, if there were more stars than simply the five here, Greg and the company would get all of them for the service.Now for the machine. It's great too. I have it on a counter and it takes up very little space. The controls are fool proof, simple to understand and simple to select. I was concerned that in generating the various degrees of ph water that the converse of the selection drained down the sink. (This is the case with all the ionizer machines on the market.) This was particularly concerning since we live in a very high drought area. But not to worry - I found that I can collect the discharge water (in this case the lower ph or acid water) and use if for a number of purposes - like rinsing my hair and removing all the residual product (actually gives my hair more body) using it as an astringent, brushing my teeth, cleaning mirrors and wine glasses to give them more sparkle, watering plants, washing my dogs. So I use the alkaline was for internal and the acid water for anything external.I'm a neophyte to ionized water, only aware of the anecdotal comments, and looking forward to discovering the benefits.This machine is about a quarter of the cost of other machines and offers the same range of highs and lows for the ph levels. So it is so well worth the investment and the savings.Kudos to the company for the service and the product.

First I can tell you that my experience with this item may be different from many others but if we are talking about an honest review then I will have to base my review off of my own experience. The install wasn't too bad. I would say if you have ever put together Legos before then you can probably do this. Given of course that your sink and faucet is compatible with this unit. The interface is pretty good and simple to use. I do wish it had a longer hose where the water comes out but it was good enough. Also, I noticed there is a distinct taste with the alkaline water, I'm not sure if that is normal.So everything worked as normal for about 3 months then one day I come home from the grocery store and noticed the unit's screen was blinking like it was low on power or something. So I unplugged it and checked my outlet to see if it tripped but it did not. I plugged it back in and it wouldn't even turn on anymore. So yeah, it was good while it lasted. I will be looking somewhere else when I'm ready to buy again. You should probably think hard before making a decision to buy.
