The advantage of Tourmaline BioStone means that your MicroLite (and
Melody) are supercharged in all functions.
The Microlite has nicer features, state of the art electronics and
patented polymer ion separation technology with true automatic
cleaning. It is also more convenient to use with LED display and
automatic cleaning. It produces 15-20% stronger Alkaline and Acid Water
than the Masterpiece. Built-in newest flux sensor unique to 2004 models. |

Summary |
If value is what you are looking for, the Masterpiece is the least
expensive quality water ionizer sold on the market. It is a good, basic
workhorse unit |
Neptue has
a stronger ionizing unit than the Microlite with more user more settings
and alarms, a calcium port and cleaner more contemporary styling. |
As the latest model from Jupiter, MicroLite is worth the extra
money. It replaces the Mavello (now on market 4 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 the extra money, then the
MicroLite is the way to go. You can easily fill a 5 gallon bottle from
the stainless steel spigot on top of the unit. |
If
you want the best then the Melody is for you. Enjoy the exceptional
filtering capacity, alkaline water even when it is cleaning using
patented output technology, LED display and its ability to be directly
plumbed into the mains. It is 5% stronger than the MicroLite and 25%
stronger than the Masterpiece. Also great compact size for bench top.
The Melody is simply excellent in all ways and we believe to be the best
water purifier available anywhere, regardless of price. |
