Features Comparison |
Basic 5-level alkaline output plus pure water setting. 1 micron filter. |
The Microlite is a solid reliable and proven unit. It has nice features
including automatic cleaning, state of the art electronics, patented
polymer ion separation technology. It is convenient to use and is a
popular affordable choice. |
The advantage of Tourmaline BioStone means that your Neptune (and
Melody) are supercharged in all functions. The Neptune is the new,
upgraded version of the Microlite (now 2 years old).
The Neptune has nicer features, state of the art electronics and
patented polymer ion separation technology with calcium port and
stronger plating. Has Built-in newest flux sensor unique to 2005+
models. |
The advantage of Tourmaline BioStone means that your Melody is
supercharged in all functions. Built-in newest flux sensor unique to
2005 models. State of the art electronics and patented polymer ion
separation technology. Very user friendly - ask us why. As well as
offering all the features of other models it also has patented
ability to allow user to continue use while system is self-cleaning.
Guaranteed to be the most reliable, durable ionizer on the market. ORP
has been tested to -800 (an industry record).
More Melodys were sold last year than all other brand nmodels combined!

The advantage of Tourmaline BioStone means that your Aquarius or Orion
is supercharged in all functions. As well as having all that Melody
offers, the Orion/ Aquarius offer new mesh coating on cells giving even
stronger ionization, automatic flow adjustments to ensure same pH with
different water and the patented DARC system for ultra cleaning. These
are the first models to be designed to look good in Western rather
than Asian kitchens. Guaranteed to be the most reliable, durable
ionizers on the market.
In all ways the most user friendly and superior models on the market
- regardless of price.

Summary |
If value is what you are looking for, the Technos is the least expensive
quality water ionizer sold on the market. It is a good, no-frills
workhorse unit that will provide you quality water at an affordable
price. |
It has a few bells and whistles that the Technos does not have: a better
filter, stronger Ionized Water and more modern features.
A very popular model sold in US for about the last 2 years. |
As the latest model from Jupiter, the Neptune is worth the extra
money. It replaces the Mavello (on market 5 years) and has the features
that earlier models do not have - a better filter, stronger ionized
water, modern features, fully-automatic cleaning and impeccable, updated
technology. If you don't mind spending some extra money, then the
Neptune is the way to go. Very easy to use push buttons and quality
design. |
If you are shopping for the best value ionizer available then the Melody
is for you. This unit sells for over $US 2000 in Japan. Enjoy the
exceptional filtering capacity, and constant alkaline water even when it
is cleaning. Uses the most advanced patented output technology, LED
display and micro-technology. Can be connected to faucet or directly
plumbed. High quality finish upgraded in 2007. The Melody is simply
excellent in all ways and we believe it is the best value water
ionizer available anywhere, regardless of higher prices elsewhere. |
If you shop for and expect the best of the best then the Orion or
Aquarius is for you. Same quality Jupiter Science technology inside -
different look outside. Enjoy the exceptional filtering capacity, and
constant alkaline water even when it is cleaning. Has all that other
models on market offer plus much more. We guarantee you will not find a
better ionizer anywhere and this is why there are more Jupiter Science
models sold than all other brands combined. High quality finish to suit
any kitchen. The Orion/ Aquarius are simply excellent in all ways and we
are confident they are the best water ionizer available anywhere,
regardless of price. |
