UltraWater Creates Ultra-Clean Alkaline Ionized Water
Uncompromising Filtration Results.  99.9% Contaminant Reduction!

AlkaViva's UltraWater has raised the bar on the water filtration industry with 99.9% reduction of an exhaustive list of the toughest to remove contaminants. Don't settle for less.

Features
Built upon almost two years of research and development, AlkaViva's exclusive and patented new UltraWater technology provides an environmentally sustainable way to create the cleanest and healthiest water available, any time any place. UltraWater technology is now available in breakthrough products that reduce virtually all contaminants in tap water to non-detectable levels. These include notoriously difficult to remove industrial and agricultural chemicals, heavy metals, VOCs, and pharmaceuticals, while allowing the healthy minerals to pass through. Once cleaned, the healthful properties of the water are enhanced through natural alkalization and ionization.

The AlkaViva UltraWater filter has taken our years of experience, knowledge, and expertise and combined technologies in a proprietary process to provide the ultimate protection from drinking water contaminants.

The UltraWater uses the highest quality medias available and then transforms them into solid forms to literally block contamination from passing through and ending up in your glass. This creates a greater contact time with the water and removes much higher percentages of contamination than traditional loose media beds. The UltraWater Filter offers superior removal of chlorine, chloramines, disinfectant byproducts, VOC's, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals such as mercury, lead, nickel and iron (most to non-detectable levels in laboratory testing). In addition it greatly improves taste and odor giving you a great tasting and clean glass of water.

AlkaViva is proud to offer you the opportunity to take back your tap and use the most advanced ionizer filter available in our industry.

Only AlkaViva offers UltraWater Technology that removes most contaminants to nondetectable levels.

Dean's Bottom Line: AlkaViva spent two years in the devlopment of the UltraWater technology... and it is WELL worth the extra money.
How do I know when my filter needs to be replaced? All machines that use this filter have either a digital numeric readout or a progressive bar indicator. When the numeric readout reaches 9999 (or 999 on 3-digit readouts) or if all of the filter bars are lit up, generally a filter light will begin to blink letting you know that you've reached the maximum capacity of the filter. This can also be accompanied by the ionizer playing a constant tune. This can happen anywhere between 6 to 12 months, depending on the amount of water your family uses. When that occurs, it's time to change the filter. Also, you should change the filter at least every 12 months, whether the filter use light is blinking or not. It has been two years since I changed my filter last, but I don't use the machine that often. Do I still need to change the filter? Yes. Even though you may only be using the water ionizer once in a while, the filter media and housing is filled with water. The integrity of the internal filter media will begin to diminish over time, and the inside of the filter will degrade. Therefore, it is imperative that you change your filter at least once every 12 months. What is the adapter that comes with this filter? The AlkaViva UltraWater 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). Has this filter been laboratory tested for contaminant removal? Yes, UltraWater filtration technology has undergone extensive lab testing at Silverstate Analytical Laboratories (http://www.ssalabs.com) - an NELAC/EPA accredited lab - to EPA/ISO government standards. You can view the laboratory test results here. How can such a small filter remove so much? Filter technology has advanced to the point where we can remove more contaminants using a smaller footprint because of the greater "surface area" of the internal media. The proprietary media used inside the AlkaViva UltraWater filters are much "finer" than any previous traditional filter media, and its proprietary design forces ALL the water through the media before it can enter the water ionizer. Other water ionizer filters contain "gaps" that allow water to pass through the ionizer filter with making any contact with the filter media - allowing contaminants to pass untreated. This is not true with the AlkaViva UltraWater filters. ALL water MUST pass through the media before it can exit the filter housing. That is why it took AlkaViva two years of production to get the incredible results, inside of a filter small enough to go inside your ionizer. Does this filter contain tourmaline, like the Biostone filters? Yes, AlkaViva is still adding a small amount of tourmaline to their new Ultrawater filters. Does this filter remove fluoride? By itself, the UltraWater filter will not remove fluoride. The lab test results for the UltraWater filter is based on the use of the UltraWater filter coupled with the Fluoride Shield (for the Athena and Vesta machines only). Fluoride is one of the hardest contaminants to remove from drinking water, and requires its own very specific media for removal. There just wasn't enough room inside the regular UltraWater filters to fit the fluoride media as well as the other media. Therefore, AlkaViva created an UltraWater Fluoride-Aresnic Shield, which is an internal filter that can be used in conjunction with the regular UltraWater filter, in machines that have two filters. If you have an Athena, you would purchase the Fluoride-Arsenic Shield for the Athena, and there is another Fluoride-Arsenic Shield for the Vesta (the Vesta has its own filter size). If your ionizer has only one filter, then you would use the AlkaViva UltraWater filter as the main filter in your water ionizer, and then add the external fluoride-aresnic pre-filter between your water source and your ionizer.

    I'm glad to see that theres a filter that removes more than just chlorine. I usually get the biostone plus filter, but i'm going to give this one a try.

    Would you recommend this product to a friend? Definitely
