Aqua Ionizer Deluxe 9.0 Aqua-Ionizer Pro Alkaline Water Ionizer Machine

I love the versatility of this machine. From drinking water to cooking, washing produce to household cleaning there's so many things the Air Water Life can do. It's convenient and easy to use, plus it always makes for a great conversation starter anytime someone new comes over (tee-hee!). Best of all, if you're on a mission to drink more water this will help, because you can chug 20oz and not get that bloated feeling.

I have owned the Aqua Ionizer deluxe 9 for approximately two weeks. I found the equipment and the company to perform very well. I found the installation of the Aqua Ionizer to be understandable. My wife and I have been enjoying the great tasting water and some slight positive changes. We notice that our coffee and tea tastes better and my acid stomach has not been happening. I don't expect changes to happen overnight. My wife and I ordered the water bottles and carry our water daily. The Real Spirit company is just great; our Ionizer arrived in short order and in great condition. I will recommend this product and Real Spirit company to my friends.Update 8/14/16Good news, I get my blood tested every three months. The results this time showed great news, all of the levels were in the normal range or showing great improvement; the change that I made point back to Aqua Ionizer 9 ☺

This looked like a great machine, especially after seeing all the 5 star reviews. For 1400 though, the drinking water it made tasted horrible and metallic. I have normal city tap water, I even have been drinking from a water pitcher filter for several years, yet the water from this machine tasted worse than my pitcher. For 1400 I expected more, but the filter that they claim is so "efficient" and "purifies so many liters" of water, is nothing more than a water pitcher filter. For 1400 you get a machine with a 30 dollar water pitcher filter inside! and some plates and what not to make the ph alkaline. Well I do not know if the ph was alkaline or just metallic, but I could not drink it the taste was so bad. The carbon filter inside this thing is tiny, and carbon filters only really remove chlorine and a some other chemicals in the water. I read an article online by some ecologist, he said these machines are dangerous if the water is not properly filtered, since they can concentrate chemicals and metals in the water into the alkaline drinking water stream.For 1400 I thought these guys would have worked that out with a good filter! especially since they hype up how good the filter inside their unit is. I cut it open, and my water pitcher filter, they have the same filter material inside. So this thing is using the same filter as a 30 dollar pitcher! Its curious why the water does not taste the same, it must be something with ph, who knows!I also read some statements in the warranty, on the very last page of the user manual, that did not make me fell comfortable. It states in the user manual, as you can see in the picture I took of it, that the warranty does not include unusual wear damage resulting from accident or unreasonable use further the warranty does not cover damages in regard to installing the water ionizer units.The paper work also states IN BIG BOLD LETTERS SHOW IN THE ATTACHE IMAGE: that all installations should be approved by a nationally recognized P.I.P.E or other certified contractor.I do not know what a P.I.P.E contractor is, but it seems like if I do not get a certified contractor to install my air water life water ionizer, and something breaks, they can claim the damage is not covered under "improper or unreasonable use". These clauses in the fine print of the warranty look like loopholes, easy ways for them to get out of the warranty and claim that I somehow voided the warranty?I fell like there pulling a fast one on me, cheap filter, dubious warranty terms, back in the box and back to amazon I will send this for a refund.

It’s been working great for a year now! No issues. Great customer service!

The media could not be loaded. I have a few notes for you if for some reason you are not installing this Ionizer machine inline with your water hook up. In that case you will need a pump that can feed the water from your source through the machine.Regardless of your need, if you use an external pump you have to get the right pump, and, you need to be very careful with the hose and fittings used along the whole chain to avoid adding toxic materials. Another reviewer published a 2016 study on the safety of garden hoses and it is eye-opening. A number of so-called "drinking water safe" hoses are not). The study found a wide variety of hoses and fittings contained toxic elements such as lead, bromine, antimony, tin, Phthalates, and other unwanted chemicals. What's the point in optimizing the PH of the water and increasing its anti-oxidant capability (Oxygen Reduction Potential or ORP) if the water isn't pure to begin with?Let's start with the pump. I must have purchased, and returned, every impeller style pump Amazon offers (all AC units that plug into a wall outlet). For example the "Goplus Water Transfer Pump" and the "TACKLIFE Water Transfer Pump". All impeller type pumps seem to have two disadvantages when pumping drinking water from a container, First, most of them need to be primed by pouring water directly into the pump cavity via the inlet connection. That's a nuisance. More importantly, the pumps need to be occasionally lubricated with vegetable oil. Yech. The oil is needed to help seal the impeller where it touches the pump wall. I found that the pumps all lose pressure over time if you don't lube them.After trying one pump after another I finally decided to spend the bigger bucks on a diaphragm type pump. The AC version of the SEAFLO pump is well rated (SEAFLO 33-Series Industrial Water Pressure Pump w/Power Plug for Wall Outlet). This pump works! Make note of the following:1) The pump produces just the right amount of pressure to run the Ionizer machine. The machine will read "Moderate" on its LCD pressure indicator (as oppose to "Low" or "High").2) The pump fittings are not standard 3/4" garden hose. You must adapt them to fit a garden hose. But unlike several reviews stating otherwise, the pump fittings are standard, and adapters are at the hardware store; Tapped 1/2 FIP to 3/4 MH (see photo).3) Although there is no "drinking water safe" claim, the label on the pump reads it is "UL tested to FDA standards", and "Tested to NSF 372 standard", which is a standard for dangerous amounts of lead.Now as for the garden hose, to make a long story short we purchased an ELEY garden hose. These hoses are made from Polyurethane, as opposed to PVC (Danger Will Robinson) or rubber. The brass fittings are lead free. This is an expensive hose, but 'what price good health', right?
