Standard Position #1 Replacement Filter For The Athena Water Ionizer

With 1 micron absolute filtration the new and improved AlkaViva Sediment Filter is capable of filtering out sediment and other particulate matter down to 1 micron absolute filtration.  It also will extend the life of the filter in position #2 by keeping sediment away from the second filter.

This filter replaces the the filter in position #1 of your Athena.

If you are using your Athena with fluoridated city-supplied water, you will want to use the Jupiter Ionizer Fluoride Filter For Athena in filter position #1 of your Athena, instead of this filter.

Capacity: 500 gallons
Best Used For: All water types
Filter Media: 1 Micron Fiber (Absolute)
Estimated Life (1-2 people): 5-6 months
Estimated Life (3-5 people): 3-5 months
Fits Models: Athena JS-205
Dean's Bottom Line: If you have standard tap water, this filter will do a great job of protecting the filter in position #2 by removing sediment before the water enters filter #2.
How do I know when my filter needs to be replaced? For the most part, this filter was intended to be used in the filter #1 position of your Athena (left housing door). The filter indicator on the front of the Athena can show either filter #1 or filter #2 filter life numbers... so you want to be looking at the filter #1 indicator. When the filter indicator reaches 9999, it's time to replace the filter. Make sure you are looking at the filter #1 filter life indicator, and not filter #2 filter life indicator. Also, remember to reset the filter life indictor back to 0000 once you install the new filter. What is the adapter that comes with this filter? The AlkaViva Sediment Filter comes with its own filter adapter, to be used inside ionizer's that currently use filter adapters. Some machines do NOT use adapters (i.e. the Melody JP-104), and so you would not use the adapter that comes with this filter. But, if your machine uses filter adapters, you want to use the included adapter with the filter. How do I install the adapter? After removing your old filter and adapter, insert the included adapter into the spring-loaded baseplate FIRST (before you install the filter). Then, after the adapter is in place you can then install the filter (inserting the top of the adapter into the bottom of the filter first). Can this filter be used in any other machines? The AlkaViva Sediment Filter For Athena will indeed fit other models of water ionizers, but there is only a rare occasion where you might want to use only a sediment filter in a one-filter machine. Therefore, this filter is generally not used in any other water ionizer than the Athena. Should I use this filter if I have fluoridated city-supplied water? No. If you have city-supplied water that has fluoride, you will want to use the Jupiter Ionizer Fluoride Filter For Athena in filter position #1 of your Athena, while using the AlkaViva UltraWater Filter in filter position #2.
