Jupiter Athena Water Ionizer
The Athena represents the best of performance, features, functionality and
modern styling available in a countertop water ionizer today - all backed by
the dependability and certainty of Jupiter/Emco Tech, the world leader in
ionization.

Why Ionize?
You want two things from an ionizer: clean and health - promoting water. To understand the outstanding performance of the Athena, please read the basics of how an ionizer works. Other considerations in performance are durability (how long the unit will perform) and functionality.
pH and ORP
Research shows that the ideal level for drinking alkaline water is between pH8.5 – pH9.5 with an ORP of -250mv. It is unimportant if an ionizer creates big -ORP numbers at really high levels of pH. For most people, water over a pH10 begins to acquire an unpleasant taste due to the heavy concentration of minerals. What is important is drinking water at the mildly alkaline levels of pH8.5 to pH9.5 with good -ORP values. Of course the Athena will create the big -ORP numbers at the higher pH ranges, but it is designed to give you the best ORP at the lower levels of pH. These are the levels that will give you the delicious taste for which ionized water is renowned.
Filtration
The Athena is the only Jupiter ionizer that offers on-board dual filtration capability. It cleans your water to be 99.9% contaminant free. The Athena incorporates a pre-filter and the revolutionary Biostone Filtration System. The pre-filter makes the Athena the only ionizer that gives you the ability to quickly and easily add a specialty cartridge to your system --
onboard! No filter housings to hook up or difficult/extra connections to make. If you have a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system or a unique filtration requirement, such as needing to remove lead or arsenic, you can order and install these specialty cartridges -- directly into your ionizer. Specialty Cartridges will be available in the 2nd quarter of 2008.

Electrode Technology
The Athena offers you the absolute zenith of cutting-edge electrode technology. It employs the new mesh electrode which effectively increases surface area. When a cross section of an electrode is examined at 700 times magnification, you can see that the electrodes are now covered in a super
fine mesh with very distinct high points and valleys. They are electro-plated platinum, providing the highest level of conductivity and durability. The cutting edge design and proven durability of electro-plated platinum electrodes ensures you get the best Oxidative Reduction Potential (ORP)
alteration year in and year out.
| The new mesh design on the plates also allows for the Athena's compact size. Don't be fooled by other manufacturers who claim that a large plate size is vital to ionization. Effective conductivity is the key. These manufacturers make this claim because their plates need to be larger to get the same conductivity as Jupiter's top-end ionizers. Rest assured you get the absolute best combination of time-tested, proven materials and the benefits of Emco Tech's cutting edge research and development. This is the technological advantage of the Athena. |  |
Durability
An ionizer is an investment, and of course you want your investment to last. The electrodes are the crucial operating component in your ionizer. Other units on the market clean themselves using a simple "reverse polarity" system -- which not only allows some scale buildup, but also prevents you from using your machine during the cleaning cycle. The Athena offers the patented new DARC (Double Automatic Reverse Cleaning) system. It completely eliminates the mineral scaling from collecting on the electrodes, ensuring that you can enjoy many long years of healthy water. The DARC system cleans as you ionize, so you never have to wait for a cleaning cycle to complete.
You will also want your ionizer company to be around to take care of your needs many years after you actually make the purchase. This key value point cannot be emphasized enough. In the last two years alone, approximately 8 new manufacturers have come and gone in the market, and many more companies have fallen short attempting to sell their wares. With Best Water and Jupiter/Emco
Tech, you buy with the absolute certainty that your company will be around to support you long after other companies have left their customers "high and dry" without support. Our combined 34+ years of experience and track record is unmatched.
Functionality
The Athena offers a flow control valve that allows you to fine tune its performance by giving you complete functional control of the water pressure moving through your ionizer. There are no gimmicks or additional circuitry, just the time tested advantages of true flow control, which also provides the possibility of alternate installation options. The Athena is one of the only ionizers that can be installed three (3) different ways : 1) At your sink with a diverter from the tap, 2) At your sink plumbed directly to your cold water line. There is no diverter and you can operate the Athena while running the hot water out of your tap, and 3) Undersink completely out of sight with a
small dedicated faucet (optional undersink kit required).

Mesh Plate Electrodes
Five of the most advanced mesh platinum-titanium electrodes in the world --
backed by Emco Tech's reputation.
DARC Cleaning System
Eliminates mineral scaling from the ever-important electrodes – increasing the
life of your ionizer. You never have to wait for a cleaning cycle to finish
before you get another glass of delicious ionized water.
Biostone Filter
The enhanced performance and functionality of a dual filtration system (2
filters) which includes the revolutionary and patented 9-stage Biostone
filtration system.
MICOM Electronics
The MICOM control panel optimizes the pH and ORP of your water and helps keeps
your ionizer in top working condition. An indicator light alerts you if
service is needed on your ionizer.
Flow Control
The Athena has a flow control valve that allows you to fine tune the
performance and gives you true functional control of the water pressure
through your ionizer.
LCD Flow Rate Indicator
This beautiful color Liquid Crystal (LCD) Displays flickers faster or slower
to indicate the rate of water flow through your Athena.
Calcium Port
This port allows you to add extra calcium to your ionizer. It is important to
note that the Athena is a very strong ionizing unit and will not require the
use of extra calcium in most areas of the country. Some areas however have
soft water or water that is low in naturally-occurring calcium and other
dissolved minerals. This feature is intended to boost ionization performance
in those areas when necessary.
Protective features
Low Pressure Alarm
Not enough water flow can damage any ionizer. Emco Tech has built in an LCD
alarm that will illuminate when there is not enough water pressure into your
Athena to operate it safely. This feature safeguards the water cell and
protects your investment.
Temperature Shut Down
The Athena employs a thermal switch in the water cell to shut down the
ionization process if the temperature in the cell gets too hot. This small but
valuable feature gives you peace of mind.
Electrical Protection
The Athena has a glass tube fuse that protects expensive circuitry in case of
power fluctuations or surges.
Hot Water Alarm
Hot water can damage your filters. This LCD alarm will illuminate to safeguard
your Athena against damage.
