I went to this web site and they are sooooo in favor of the Jupiter Orion or Aquarius.   I don’t know if you know Dr. Young but he is very well respected. I spoke to one of his breast cancer survivors this morning.   Wow what an inspiration she is.   I am so confused.  What are your thoughts?

I just want to buy a great machine but I certainly do not want to spend money that I do not need to spend.   I have a 4 year old and a busy life so I need convenience as well.

I checked out the website and saw that they only sell Jupiter products.  Everyone who chooses to offer only one product line does so for a reason – it is usually a combination of belief in the product and the business end of it.   The Jupiter/IonLife/IonWays products are good water ionizers and I have seen no serious issues which would cause me to recommend another brand.  That being said, let’s take a closer look at the company’s two most popular models in comparison with others in the same price range.

First of all, Jupiter discontinued the Jupiter Orion & Aquarius earlier this year.  I have used the company’s Melody and Athena models for comparison here.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of Jupiter’s two most popular models next to the KYK Generation II & the Watershed EC550 which are comparable in price, features & functions.

I chose the EC550 for comparison because this product’s growing popularity based on price and performance.   Bob McCauley, author of “Honoring the Temple of God – A Christian Health Perspective,” “Miraculous Properties of Ionized Water,” “Achieving Great Health,” and “Confessions of a Body Builder” (as in one building a healthy body, not an in-the-gym-type body builder) imports and sells the EC machines and is obviously well respected in the field as well.

KYK was the top selling water ionizer brand for many dealers in 2009 and has been a reliable product for our customers.

The Melody has long been the best selling Jupiter/IonLife water ionizer based on price and performance.  The Athena model is a popular choice for “Jupiter fans” looking for more machine.  The Athena is a dual filter water ionizer and has a more user-friendly interface than the Melody.

You can find more detailed specs about each of these water ionizers in our product comparison charts or by visiting the store pages for each of these brands.  The Product Comparison Charts will offer side by side comparisons of these water ionizers along with all of the major water ionizer brands.
