The Melody Is The Best Selling Ionizer In America For The Last Decade
Best Model In Its Price Class, Great Performance And Functionality!
Best Model In Its Price Class, Great Performance And Functionality!
The Melody (a.k.a. the "Jupiter Melody") is the best selling ionizer in America due to its long time reputation as being a time-tested workhorse. The JP-104 is extremely reliable, has great functionality, and produces an excellent range of pH and ORP. This machine is the best water ionizer on the market within its price range, hands down! This is the model to purchase if you don't want to break the bank, but still want a great time-tested, powerful water ionizer.
Performance
The Melody JP-104 is the proven leader in performance results in independent EPA certified testing, coming in second only behind the Athena JS-205 (see video to the left).
Research shows that the ideal level for drinking alkaline water is between pH 8.5 - 9.5pH with an ORP of -250mv. It is unimportant if an ionizer creates big -ORP numbers at really high levels of pH. Water over a 10pH begins to acquire an unpleasant taste due to the heavy concentration of minerals. What is important, is drinking water at the ideal alkaline levels of pH 8.5 - 9.5pH with a good consistent -ORP.
The Melody can achieve some pretty high and low pH and ORP levels, but it is designed to give you the best ORP at the lower levels of pH. The levels that you will actually enjoy drinking, and will be the most healthy and beneficial.
More Installation Options
The Melody offers an onboard flow control valve that allows you to fine tune the performance and gives you true functional control of the water pressure through your ionizer. There are no gimmicks or additional circuitry, just the time tested advantages of true flow control. The flow control also provides for the possibility of alternate installation options.
The Melody is one of the only ionizers that can be installed three different ways:

What exactly is a water ionizer?
Water ionization, or water electrolysis, is the method of producing a concentration of alkaline and acidic minerals - separating the oxygen and hydrogen found in water (H2O). The alkaline water provides an antioxidant and electron rich medium for consumption, and the acidic water provides oxidizing water that works like an antibacterial and cleanser for external use. A water ionizer is an electronic device that achieves the separation of water into alkaline and acidic streams, straight from your tap water, by a method of electrolysis.
How does a water ionizer hook up to my tap water?
A water ionizer sits neatly on your countertop near your sink, can be mounted on your wall, or can be put below the sink (with an optional undersink kit). It hooks directly up to your faucet with a diverter valve that allows you to alternate between running water through the ionizer or running water through your faucet. It is a flow-through unit so your water is filtered and ionized instantly. There are no tanks to fill. The water travels through the filters and then the ionizing chamber quickly, producing about 3 liters of water per minute. The water ionizer also has to be plugged in, so you will want to make sure you have an electrical outlet near the water ionizer.
What can I use the acidic water for?
The skin is naturally an acidic organ. People who regularly use acidic water to wash their bodies tend to have a younger looking skin than those who use hard water. Hard water is water that is alkaline usually due to the presence of excess calcium. By applying acidic (soft) ionized water to the skin it will help to clear up excess bacteria (reduce acne and other blemishes) and will work like an astringent to tighten up the skin and remove wrinkles. In Japanese hospitals acidic water is used to help sterilize wounds, treat diabetic ulcers and keep hospitals clear of infectious bacteria and viruses. Acidic ionized water can also be used to reduce inflammation and itchiness caused by insect bites.
Why do water ionizers have different levels of pH that can be selected?
Water ionizers usually have at least 3 levels of intensity to choose from. This is mainly because ionized water is extremely detoxifying; people who have toxins built up in their system can suffer reactions such as headaches or diarrhea. This is especially true of the elderly because they often have built up many toxins in their bodies over the years. Also those who have a very poor diet or have taken a lot of medications over the years. Having different levels of pH available simply allows people to build their tolerance for ionized water more slowly if they wish.
Is a water ionizer difficult to install?
Absolutely not. Installing a water ionizer is relatively easy, and only takes about 5 minutes. There is no special plumbing skills required, and can be installed by almost anyone. The only problem people encounter with installing a water ionizer, is trying to get that rusted aerator off of the faucet that probably should have been changed years ago. Other than that, installing an ionizer is no more difficult that hooking up a new coffee maker.
Why is the Melody the highest sold ionizer in America?
When the Melody first began selling in this country, it was the "top-of-the-line" machine... the premier water ionizer. It was a powerful machine and had more functions that any machine before it. As newer more sophisticated ionizers began to be manufactured, the Melody's price stayed relatively low compared to the newer water ionizers. People still knew that the Melody was a great ionizer... AND, the price was right. Over the years, the Melody has been known as the old "workhorse" because it continued to put out a great pH and ORP results, with little to no breakdowns or need for repair. That could be because the Melody didn't have so many new electronics that could fail over time, as do the newer ionizers. It's just a water ionizer that keeps going and going and going.
I am thinking about getting either the Melody of the Athena. What's the difference?
The Athena is a dual-filtered ionizer. The Melody has only one filter. Also, and the bigger difference, has to do with the electrolysis system. The Athena has a more technologically advanced electrolysis system than does the Melody. The Melody JP-104 has been around for many years, and is still the highest selling unit in America... but it has an older plating system which is not as advanced as the Athena. The Athena's plating system allows it to utilize the DARC system (double auto-reverse cleaning) which allows the electrolysis system to stay cleaner, longer. If your tap water is fairly clean and isn't at all hard, then the Melody is an excellent alternative to the Athena. But, if you have higher than normal hardness then you will want to go with an Athena since it has a much better capability of reducing any scale buildup on the plating system. Or, if you have a higher-than-usual contaminant load in your tap water, the Athena can address those concerns better by having two filters.
What levels of pH and ORP can I expect from the Melody?
On average, the Melody will produce a 3.5pH and +600mV on the low side, and a 10.5pH and -600mV on the high side. Remember, it is the quality of your tap water that will ultimately decide the highest and lowest pH and ORP ranges of your machine. The Melody can only do the best job it can with the water that you are putting through it. If you are not achieving very good levels from your Melody, it is not the machine that is malfunctioning, it is your tap water. But, rest assured that almost every condition of tap water can be addressed beforehand, so that you can get the best output possible from your Melody.
I don't have very much room on my countertop. Can the Melody be installed under the sink?
Absolutely. The Melody JP-104 is one of the few machines that can be installed under the sink with our optional Undersink Conversion Kit. With the conversion kit, you'll be able to put the Melody under your counter, while having a dual faucet on top of your sink, next to your main sink faucet. The only thing you have to make sure, is that you have an electrical outlet under your sink so you can plug in the ionizer.
Why does the internet show different colors for the Melody, and what is the difference between the newer Melody and the older Melody?
When the Melody first came out it was beige, with a sparkling blue center-stripe. The LCD screen only lit up in one color (green) and the cleaning cycle would display a set of rotating lights after the Melody stop processing water. About 5 years ago, the Melody took on a new modern color that you see now (steel gray sides with a dark gray center-stripe) to match better the new "stainless steel" type kitchens. Also, the Melody's LCD now has three backlight colors; red for acidic water, blue for alkaline water, and green for "Purify Only" water. The older Melody's LCD panel only lit up with a green backlight, no matter the setting. Also, the Melody no longer shows rotating lights when it goes through a cleaning cycle... it just cleans itself in the background with telling you. Lastly, the new Melody has a water flow "fine-tune" adjustment knob on the underside of the machine. This allows you to fine tune the flow rate of the main control knob on the front of the machine.
What is the "Isis" ionizer, and why does it look like the Melody?
Because the Isis is the same machine as the Melody. Since IonWays (now known as "AlkaViva") became a multi-level marketing company, they changed the name of the Melody to the "Isis" to distinguish it from the Melody before, which was always sold as a regular retail product. AlkaViva has since went back to the old name of Melody (partially because of my input) because the name "Jupiter Melody" is what people were looking up on the internet to find and buy this machine. They realized that they should just keep the name that had been around for so many years.
There are many online retailers that sell this machine. Why should I buy it from SnyderHealth.com?
SnyderHealth.com is owned and operated by Dean Snyder (that's me... the guy writing this answer). I have been selling water ionizers since 2003, since before most people even knew what a water ionizer was. Unlike almost every dealer you will find online, I actually do this full-time, for a living; I don't have another job and only sell ionizers on the side to make some extra loot, like most online retailers. This is what I do all day long, 7 days a week, and have been doing for ten years (at the time of writing this). Before this I was a video engineer in the film business for 13 years... and so I am no stranger to electronics. I understand how the ionizers work and can discuss every aspect of the electronic components. I have an insatiable urge to teach, and to make sure people understand stuff before they buy anything from me. If my customers are properly informed, they will be happier with their purchases. And, a happy customer is a customer for life. So, my attention to detail with dealing with customers is extremely important to my future business since, unlike most online dealers, I intend to still be in this business for many many years to come. Oh yeah, I'm also a veteran (Persian Gulf War, Military Intelligence 98C, Regular Army), if that means anything to you vets out there. All I know is that if you're not happy, then I'm not happy. My business depends on your satisfaction, and so I promise to be here whenever you need me. Hopefully, that's something you can appreciate.
I have more questions. How can I learn more about water ionizers?
For all of you "detail freaks" out there, we have a section of our web site entitled "About Water Ionizers" which goes into more depth about how an ionizer works, the health benefits, the differences, etc. It's a great place to learn everything you need to know about water ionization technology.

I was originally going to buy a more expensive machine by another company but Dean talked me into getting the Melody instead. I am so happy he did!! I love my Melody, and didn't have to spend even a third of what the other machine would've cost me! Thank you Dean! I'm a happy camper.
