Hi, my name is Cassandra Sterling. I'm a nutritionist and life coach. Earth Trade Water asked me to create a non-biased buying guide that will help people make an informed decision when shopping for a new water ionizer. This video shows you the eight things you need to know when buying an alkaline water ionizer. First, let's look at what an ionizer needs to make safe, clean healthy water that meets your requirements. Will the water ionizer fit your healthy needs? If you're looking for detoxification, sports performance or using alkaline water to treat the effects of body acidity - you'll want to make sure your machine can make strong alkaline water. Look for a machine that can make water with a pH of over 11 and a high negative ORP antioxidant level, such as negative 600 or greater.
For regular daily use, you want your machine to make alkaline water with about a pH around 9.5 with the highest negative ORP possible at that pH level. Remember to start at about a pH of 8 and work your way up from there.
Another very important thing to consider is filtration. Did you know that even if there is the smallest amount of chlorine in your water, it can sabotage your health efforts? Avoid an ionizer that has just a single filter. Water conditions carry all over the US. It is not possible for a machine with just one filter to reduce the levels of contaminants like chlorine and chloramines to safe levels.
Now that you understand what it takes to make healthy water, lets look at the quality of the machines. Ionizer plates are where all the action happens in a water ionizer. There are actually three things to look at here: Look at how many electrodes or plates the machine has to ionize the water. For stronger antioxidant water, you should buy an ionizer with as many plates as possible and a high power output. The quality of the plates matters. Make sure the plates are made of a high-grade titanium and dipped, not sprayed in platinum. Sprayed plates have a very thin coating of platinum, so they wear out easily. Double-dipped is best. The type of plate also matters. Mesh plates are better than flat plates. In fact, testing shows mesh plates increase the antioxidant power of alkaline water by as much as 15%.
Next, ensure it has the right power supply. Look for ionizers that use an SMPS power supply, instead of a transformer power supply. These will not only optimize the pH and antioxidant levels, but will also last much longer.
Also, the warranty an ionizer comes with is an excellent indicator of the machines overall quality. The best companies will offer machines with life time warranties. Avoid buying a machine with a very short warranty, such as five years. A machine with a short warranty usually means the company believes it will last.
Look for industry certifications on the company's website to find out what sort of safety certificates the company has and who they are registered with. Quality ionizer companies have taken the time to have their machines certified by the Korean FDA or the Japanese Ministry of Health.
Top companies are also WQA Certified. The last couple of things to look are how the company sells its ionizers. One is testimonials and endorsements. Review the people who endorse the company's ionizers. Look for top professionals in sports and for doctors and health practitioners that support the company's specific ionizers, not just doctors that support alkaline water in general.
And watch out for multi-level marketers. It's no secret that multi-level marketing companies tend to inflate their prices because they have large amounts of commissions to pay out to their reps for each sale. Your best bet is to buy factory direct, directly from the manufacturer or through one of their authorized dealers. This will ensure that the value is passed on to you without a large mark up. Essentially, you get more water ionizer for your money when you go factory direct. Make sure you test a company's customer service before you buy as well. Find out if they answer their phones. Ask them where their service center is. Some companies don't have their own in-house warranty service centers.
One more thing I want to mention before we close. And this for people who are really serious about wanting to change their health for the better. There is only one company that actually cares about your health enough the support you after the sale. With a purchase of a Life Ionizer they offer you a one year Gold Membership the the Alkaline Lifestyle, which includes an exclusive one year optimal health course with the support of a doctor, a licensed counselor, nutritionist, personal trainers, and a video series to keep you on track - giving you the tools to create a healthy alkaline lifestyle. They even have a six book series that guides you through the transition of the alkaline lifestyle.
Thanks for watching this buying guide. I hope this has been helpful to you in your search for the best water ionizer company.
