Biostone Plus vs .01M Ultra Biostone – Which one do I need?

Every day the Technical Department runs into people who really don’t know the difference between the .1M Biostone Plus and .01M Ultra Biostone, and therefore could possibly be purchasing the wrong one for their water conditions. First of all, it is interesting to put a micron into perspective. A micron is a unit of measure equivalent to 1/25,000 of an inch. Our .01 micron filter provides filtration down to 1 /2,500,000 of an inch!

The primary benefit of the .01 micron filter is for bacterial and viral protection. Typically, municipal tap water is void of these contaminants because high concentrations of chlorine (or chloramines) are used for disinfection purposes. Someone on a well may be more likely to need this level of filtration due to an increased potential for bacterial or viral contamination, and reduced disinfection capabilities/reliability when compared to municipal supplies. The .01M is effective at helping to remove chlorine and many other contaminants, but is not effective at removing chloramines. Also the .01M, which uses the finest fibers to trap micro-organisms, does not contain as much carbon as the .1M Biostone Plus.

The new Biostone Plus filter is specifically formulated using Catalytic Carbon to address the chlorine and chloramines issues that people encounter on a city or municipal water source. For that reason, it is recommended to use just the Biostone Plus with a city or municipal water source – especially if treated with chloramines instead of chlorine. Like the .01M Ultra Biostone, the Biostone Plus is also effective at helping to remove other water contaminants.

It is also important that our water ionizers are not meant to be used with unsafe water. If using well or untreated water it is necessary to have a water test done and then send us the results so we can advise of any further filtration needs. This will help protect your ionizer as well as your health and warranty!

Finally – although the filters in Jupiter ionizers are the best ionizer filters in the market, they are still general filters. If you have an unusually high amount of any contaminant then you may wish to advise your customer to also get a specialty pre-filter installed under the counter. IonLife has a full range of specialty pre-filters available and staff that are trained to help you with your filter needs.

Earth Day Tips and Facts

Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd, and we would like to share some tips with you for helping conserve our environment:

-Take shorter showers and skip baths. A 5 minute shower takes 15-25 gallons of water, rather than 40 gallons used to take a bath.

-Grass and leaves can be turned into compost instead of trash.

-Laptops can save almost 50% more energy than their desktop counterparts.

-Recycling an aluminum can uses 95% less energy than making a can from new materials.

-Prevent 300 pounds of CO2 every year by buying fluorescent light bulbs.

-Wear organic fabrics like cotton and linen that are less harmful to the environment and are better for your skin.

-Capture all the acid waste water from your water ionizer and use for house plants or cleaning etc.

Don't Forget Your AOK!

With summer just around the corner, don’t be caught without your alkaline water while traveling! The AOK portable ionizer is a great and highly effective portable ionizer that raises the pH of tap water up to 2 points and lowering the ORP down approximately 200 points.

It’s a wonderful alternative when you have to be away from your ionizer. Its compact design makes it easy to pack and take along with you. If possible, keep your AOK in the refrigerator when not in use.

Pets and Alkaline Water

Don’t forget that it is perfectly safe to give Fido or Felix alkaline water to drink. Just remember that the rule is the same with humans: always start them at a lower pH and gradually work them higher. If you notice your pets having any signs of detoxing, you can always go back down a level.

We recently received the following happy story:

"I am excited to share with you about how the alkaline water has helped with our animals. As you know we run a small farm and I have already talked about how much the cows love this water.

Our son came home to visit and was filling up his empty water bowl when I told him to stop because our dog Donna does not like tap water any more. He said do not be silly - dogs cannot tell the difference. So I said, dogs are a lot smarter than most humans so try and get Donna to drink it and see for yourself. Donna would not touch the tap water so I used water from my Jupiter and she instantly drank. My son sure was very surprised and now drinks that water also thanks to Donna."

Many thanks for bringing this into our lives, Claire

Plastics and the Environment

Having an ionizer is not only beneficial for your health, but also beneficial for the environment. Use this to encourage people to stop buying water in bottles that pollute and harm the environment when you can achieve clean AND healthy water straight from your tap.

According to the New York Times, the EPA is set to start new testing into potential adverse effects of EPA on the environment and humans. You can read the entire article here:
