The Biostone-Plus Water Filter is the absolute best water ionizer filter ever made, and it's improved in 2011!
What's really exciting is that this new Biostone Plus Filter is designed to literally do the job of several water ionizer prefilters! It will actually filter out the chloramine, fluoride, lead, arsenic and more! [See the pdf files attached.]
It includes layers of calcium with magnesium, tourmaline [See PDF on Tourmaline, and additional data below], as the original Biostrone Plus filter had. Plus now the Biostone Plus filter has a layer of super catalytic carbon to help remove chloramine (the best media known to man to remove chloramine, lead and pharmaceuticals is super catalytic carbon), another layer of carbon block, which forces the water through and chemicals to be removed, a layer of EOS [elimination of scaling] media (so you should't have to get a separate EOS device now), and a layer of special media to filter out Fluoride. These features are all unique to Jupiter Biostone Plus filters and can only be used in Jupiter water ionizers.
This new Biostone Plus water ionizer filter can fit into any of the following Jupiter water ionizers: The Microlite Water Ionizer, The Neptune Water Ionizer, The Venus Water Ionizer, The Melody Water Ionizer, The Orion Water Ionizer, The Aquarius Water Ionizer, The Athena Water Ionizer, and the Delphi Water Ionizer. So if you own one of these water ionizers, you'll be able to order the new Biostone Plus as a replacement filter.
The new and improved Jupiter Biostone Plus filter is the one to use if your source water is from a municipal water company [vs. well-water].
Another unique property of the nine-stage Biostone Plus filter is that it incorporates the amazing natural properties of “vortex hydraulics” in its filter body design which reduces channeling and ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your filter.
The calcium layer consists of Japanese premium grade, and is added to assist in the thorough filtration of chlorine and other chemicals. It also naturally sweetens the water and helps change volatile fluorine molecules into a benign compound (calcium fluoride).
The Biostone Plus is manufactured in the USA with NSF certified components.
The addition of bioceramic, semi-prescious Tourmaline reduces surface tension in the water and aids in the ionization process. Tourmaline crystal is known to be a beautiful, semi-precious gem. Now as a mineral it also became a focus of scientific research. One of the reasons is that infrared Tourmaline is the only mineral on earth to show permanent electricity. It was found by researches in Japan that even broken into pieces, Tourmaline crystals always maintained a positive and negative electrodes. The stone is known to be used for improving circulation, relieving stress and its anti-bacterial qualities. Inside your filter it transforms water into a mild alkaline water. Other qualities of Tourmaline crystal are used in your Biostone filter to reducing water cluster size and minimizing odor. The tourmaline in this patented, state-of-the-art filter really makes a difference to the ability of the water to carry an ionized charge naturally. As the water passes over the tourmaline crystals the ORP is naturally decreased and the water made more bio-available. What this means is if water passes through your Jupiter - even with the power turned off - the water will come out a little ionized!
This quality filter is unique to only Jupiter Science water ionizers and helps to both naturally ionize and clean the water, before the water enters the ionization chamber.
The Jupiter Science Advantage:
All Jupiter ionizer water-cells are manufactured in Jupiter's state-of-the-art factory in Japan. Their research department has existed since the early 1980s and employs about 20 Engineers with Doctorates ensuring that Jupiter ionizers continues to out-perform and out-last the competition. This quality control also extends to the new Biostone filters.
No heavy metals etc. are released from these filters [see pdf docmentation].
The activated carbon in the filter comes from the UK and is NSF certified.
The super catalytic carbon comes from the US and is NSF certified.
The calcium in the filter comes from Japan and is certified by the Japanese Government
The Ceramic in the filter is produced in Korea and comes with Korean FDA certification
The fluoride & arsenic filter media are added in the US and are complying with USA FDA standards.
All ingredients are put into the filter housing where sealing is achieved by using high motion heat friction thereby avoiding the need for any harmful chemicals.
Multiple sediment filters between the various stages remove the suspended solids of one micron or greater.
All of the Biostone filters remove chlorine, bad taste, Guardia, cryptosporidium, all other common water micro-organisms and other contaminants. What remaines is good tasting, clean healthy water with the essential alkalizing minerals remaining.
Compare this to Reverse Osmosis, Distilled Water and most Bottled Water where you get clean water with all the essential minerals removed!
Silver is also impregnated into the carbon to make sure that bacteria do not grow there. Because it is embedded, or impregnated, into the carbon, the silver does not leach into the water. Tests done by the Seoul Department of Health show that no silver is released from these filters. Periodic testing of this filter is done in a US lab [in Reno, NV] and you can email support@alkaline-water-plus.info for a copy of the latest lab results to be sent to you! [You can also see links to lab test results, below.]
Which filter do we recommend? The new Biostone Plus filter is now recommended for municipal, treated water, and the Biostone .01 is recommended for well-water.
All the latest Jupiter Science ionizers have a digital readout that shows how long before you need to change your filter. A filter typically lasts 1000 gallons [a family of four probably between 6 to 9 months]. Water filter change recommendations are variable, depending on water usage and the quality of your source water. In any event, we recommend changing the filter at least once every 12 months, if not sooner, to ensure quality performance. If you smell or taste chlorine in your water after it passes through your Ionizer you should change your filter. In some city water supplies the amount of chlorine now used is at higher levels than before due to increases in contaminants. Also if you notice that the flow rate through your filter has decreased to a slow rate then it is probably because it is full of particles and now needs replacement.
