Features of water ionizer and finding the right one!

Considering the various benefits of alkaline water, many different companies and types of alkaline water ionizer exist in today’s market. In order to choose the ideal water filter for you, you need to put in some research and understand the basic features of a water ionizer. The price of an alkaline water ionizer machine ranges from 14000 to more, depending on which brand you choose.

Since this is an essential investment for your health, make sure you choose an ideal and long lasting water ionizer which fits both your budget and utility.

The basic features of a water ionizer are-

1. A good quality ionizer consists of solid plates made from titanium. Do not purchase an ionizer with any other metal or slotted and mesh plates. The reason being, that these risk the entry of unwanted metals in the water and decrease the life of the ionizer.
2. The plates of the ionizer are coated with platinum. Platinum is a costly metal, so water ionizer machines that are made entirely using platinum will be costlier. But, coating the plates with platinum is essential since the titanium plates should not be directly exposed to the water.
3. More the surface area of the platinum plate, more the amount of water that comes in contact with electricity. An increased surface area also ensures the water to charge for a longer period thoroughly, as a result of which the quality of water is not compromised for long periods of time. The quality of the output must also be checked, because many outputs produce a small quantity of water at a time. Some might also switch off early automatically, for ensuring protection against overheating.
4. If a water ionizer machine has overheating protection, it implies that the machine has a tendency to get overheated.
5. The power, in watts of the alkaline water machine should be checked. Higher the wattage, better the production of ionized water.
6. The power supply must be switched mode (SMPS) and not transformer mode. Using a SMPS has benefits such as smooth and constant electrical delivery to control the PH and ORP levels, thereby reducing the stress put on plates.
7. While purchasing a water ionizer it is essential to check the warranty of the machine. Many brands might not provide a warranty if the nature of water in your house is hard.
8. Make sure you thoroughly read customer reviews of the product you buy and do a complete price comparison of the various products.
