The Jupiter Aquarius Water Ionizer and the Jupiter Orion Water Ionizer are the EXACT same machine, just with different shells and different names. Despite any possible confusion, this is a very high quality machine, and the best model that Jupiter has to offer. So, we decided to shed some light on the differences between it and our other top ionizer picks - the IonQuench 8080 and the Tyent MMP-7070.
Plates: The Jupiter Aquarius / Orion Water Ionizer offers “super-fine mesh plate” technology in order to maximize surface area. This results in a more effective filtering than you will find with the flat plates that come on older machines such as the Enagic SD-501 and Jupiter Melody. They only use 5 plates, whereas many of the other top models today offer 7 plates. However, the CEO informed us that they are able to obtain similar results with 5 plates, and that they will soon be releasing a 7-plated model intended for light commercial/restaurant use.
Power Source: This machine uses a Transformer power source, the same as the Enagic SD-501. This is older technology which has been replaced with an SMPS power supply in the IonQuench and Tyent MMP-7070. A transformer requires more energy to achieve the same output as the SMPS, and is thus is a bit less green-friendly.
pH Settings: The Jupiter Aquarius / Orion offers 9 different pH settings. The Ion Quench offers 76 programmable pH settings, and the Tyent 7070 offers 55. However, anything more than the 9 is rarely needed.
Filters: The Jupiter Aquarius / Orion has a single 9-stage .01 Micron filter. This is the same filter that has been available as an upgrade in their cheaper models, including the Jupiter Microlite and Jupiter Melody, for years now. These work to remove everything from chlorine and fluoride to heavy metals.
Acid Water: This machine is able to produce acid water, which you can use for anything from sterilizing your dishes and counter-tops to washing your hands, or even as an antiseptic for cuts or an astringent to take the sting out of bug bites.
Certifications: Jupiter, IonQuench, and Enagic are all UL certified for their models. Their filters are also built to NSF standards. Jupiter is definitely a dependable company.
Price: The Jupiter Aquarius / Orion costs $1795, the Tyent MMP-7070 costs $1995, and the IonQuench is regularly sold for $1695.
So there you have it. This is a very high quality machine, which sits among the top tier of water ionizer technology. It comes highly recommended to anyone who is looking to improve their lives with the addition of a water ionizer.
