I went to a “water class” that an ionways distributor put on in New Port Richey, Florida. The main thrust of the class was about the importance of pH, ORP, and alkaline ionized water.
The class was quite informative and there were some different tests on popular bottled waters that were very eye opening. However, my reason was to see the difference in the machines.
The most popular model of the Ionways, is the Athena. Prices are kind of all over the board in some cases, but it is basically a $2500 machine by the time all is said and done.
It has good pH and ORp range, and is an attractive unit, and there was nothing really bad to say about the unit other than it seems very pricey.
There is a higher end machine that does all the same stuff, but it is an under sink mount, so installation is a little more difficult and some people who are not handy would want to hire someone to install it. It is attractive on the sink top and is very compact.
Personally, I like the portable units so I can take them with if needed, or just move them around the house.
The one big turn off of Ion ways, is that it is an MLM company, and they were as focused,if not more focused on getting you to be a distributor as they are to get you to know the benefits of the machine. I also know, that typically mlm products are more expensive because of their marketing plan to have to pay all the commissions to distributors.
I drank water from the Athena for over 6 weeks, and it was very good but I am confident there are better value machines.
