Although priced high at $2097.00, the Jupiter Athena should be looked at as a mid-range quality ionizer. It is solidly built and has proven to be a reliable ionizer over the years. However, it’s lack of power and plates cause for not quite as strong an ionization as some of the other machines in this price range like the LIFE 7600 and Tyent 7070 Turbo. It is important to remember that the strength of ionization is dependent on a ratio between the amount of power and power type, plate size (amount of time the water spends on the plates) and flow rate. So with only 5 plates and 105 watts that is ultimately what led to only a two star rating. The Jupiter Athena does have a strong company backing though.
