Explanations of Melody JP104 Features

Automatic Reversed Cleaning
Every water ionizer in the world, worth investing in, has an inbuilt cleansing routine. This ensures that any particles that may find their way past the filter are not 'caught' in the ionizing cells. The method is simple - the magnetic field in the chamber is reversed so that any mineral that has energetically adhered to a Titanium plate is repelled and flushed away. It's a clever system, and assures the user of a long, trouble free life, but it isn't perfect - except on the Melody. Before, during the cleaning cycle, the water flow was changed from alkaline to acid. Now, for the first time ever, the Melody delivers only alkaline water from the alkaline sprout. No more waiting even when your Melody is cleaning!
Return

Extra levels of pH
means greater choice for you and other users. It also allows you to take advantage of higher alkaline pH levels when cooking, to make greens greener, rice fluffier and coffee and tea more flavorful.
Return

Varying levels of acid water
output means you can avail yourself of all of many ways you use acid water; for your skin, for your plants, for your home hygiene and more.
Return

Pure water selection
can be important if you or visitors are on an acid-based drug regimen. Although alkaline micro clustered water helps the absorption of many supplements and reduces the dosage requirement, it may affect drugs that are designed to be taken with acid or neutral water.
Return

The .1M (or optional 0.01 micron) 3-stage filtration
plus BioStone Infrared means that not only is your water filtered of impurities to the very finest possible degree, but it is also preconditioned by reduction of surface tension for maximum negative ion production during ionization. The 3-stage filter also adds calcium to the water automatically. There is no substitute for a quality, replaceable filter. Imagine what your sink would be like, after a year, if you only used hot water to clean it!

.1M Biostone Filter
The Melody comes with a standard .1M Biostone filter.

Large 5-plate polymer ion plated platinum coated titanium ionizing plates.
Some older design water ionizers still use stainless steel plates, which were found to emit nickel. Jupiter Science and Toyo Water of Japan collaborated to produce the finest system of polymer bonded platinum coated Titanium plates. These totally overcome this leaching problem and radically enhance the lifespan of the plates, which are the heart of your Melody system.
Return

A stainless steel top spout
may seem a small thing until you actually use and Ionizer without one. Some ionizers output their ionized water via plastic hose back to the tap and out. The kitchen tap is one of the most bacteria-laden zones in the kitchen. Furthermore, a top-mounted spout allows you to pour water anywhere; a real boon when the sink is full of dishes, or when you want to fill a large bottle.
Return

Integrated computer circuitry means CHOICE.
Some units on the market try to make out that they are ionizers but do not use computer controllers. This means that you are restricted by the pH of your incoming water and not able to adjust to the optimal pH for your own needs. Computer circuitry also allows hot water and low pressure protection to be an automatic function.
Return

Post-operation Auto Cleanse System
means that every time you use your 'Melody', it will undertake a silent, automatic cleanse of the Titanium ionizing plates in the heart of its system. This auto clean ensures continued maximum performance by removing any particles that may have gotten through the filter into the ionizing chamber.
Return

Voice confirmation
means you are alerted to any change of pH. This safety feature can also be reduced in volume or turned off once you have learned how to use the Ionizer properly. it's like a 'learner-driver instructor' on board.
Return

Filter usage Liquid Crystal display
means you can see at a glance how much filter life you have left. Although not an actual measure of filter life, it's a handy indicator off longevity that you can use to assess when to order a new filter.
Return

Optional ability to connect direct to mains
means you really don't even need your Melody attached to your tap. With a 1/4" hole in your bench, it can attach direct to your mains. All you need do to have a glass of water is to turn it on at the convenient front flow valve.
Return

1/4 inlet tube;
better visually in your kitchen that the 3/8" tube on other models. Why? Smaller is less obvious, and even though you may not want to connect your 'Melody' to the mains, and hiding the inlet hose completely, the 1/4" tube looks far better than the bulky 3/8" hose on other models.
