Athena
Water Ionizer
with Revolutionary BioStone Filter
and
Dual Filtration Capability
Why Ionize?
- You want
two things from an ionizer: clean and healthy water. To understand the technological
advancements you'll find in the Athena, which create its outstanding
performance, you should read the basics of how an ionizer works.
Other considerations in performance are durability, or how long
the unit will perform, and functionality.
- Research
states that the ideal level for drinking alkaline water is between
pH8.5 pH9.5 with an ORP of -250mv. It is unimportant if an ionizer creates
big -ORP numbers at really high levels of pH. For most people,
water over a pH10 begins to acquire an unpleasant taste due to
the heavy concentration of minerals. What is important is drinking
water at the mildly alkaline levels of pH8.5 pH9.5 with
good -ORP. Of course the Athena will create the big ORP
numbers at the higher pH ranges, but it is designed to give you
the best ORP at the lower levels of pH. These are the levels
that you will actually enjoy drinking.
Features:
- Mesh Plate
Electrodes
Five of the
most advanced mesh platinum-titanium electrodes in the world
~ backed by Emco Tech's reputation.
- DARC Cleaning
System
Will completely
eliminate mineral scaling from the ever-important electrodes
increasing the life of your ionizer. It also means you
never have to wait for a cleaning cycle to finish before you
get another glass of delicious ionized water.
- Biostone
Filter
The enhanced
performance and functionality of a dual filtration system (2
filters) which includes the revolutionary and patented 9-stage
Biostone filtration system.
- MICOM Electronics
The MICOM
control panel optimizes the pH and ORP of your water and helps
keeps your ionizer in top working condition. A new indicator
light alerts you if service is needed on your ionizer.
- Flow Control
The Athena
has a flow control valve that allows you to fine tune the performance
and gives you true functional control of the water pressure through
your ionizer.
- LCD Flow
Rate Indicator
This beautiful
color Liquid Crystal (LCD) Displays flickers faster or slower
to indicate the rate of water flow through your Athena.
- Calcium Port
This port
allows you to add extra calcium to your ionizer. It is important
to note that the Athena is a very strong ionizing unit and will
not require the use of extra calcium in most areas of the country.
Some areas however have soft water or water that is low in naturally-occurring
calcium and other dissolved minerals. Find out more. This feature
is intended to boost ionization performance in those areas when
necessary.
- Low Pressure
Alarm
Not enough
water flow can damage any ionizer. Emco Tech has built in an
LCD alarm that will illuminate when there is not enough water
pressure into your Athena to operate it safely. This feature
safeguards the water cell and protects your investment.
- Temperature
Shut Down
The Athena
employs a thermal switch in the water cell to shut down the ionization
process if the temperature in the cell gets too hot. This small
but valuable feature gives you peace of mind.
- Electrical
Protection
The Athena
has a glass tube fuse that will protect the expensive circuitry
in case of power fluctuations or surges.
- Hot Water
Alarm
Hot water
can damage your filters. This LCD alarm will illuminate to safeguard
your Athena against damage.
- Voice Confirmation
This feature
audibly tells you (the machine actually speaks to you) what type
of water you have selected each time you use the ionizer. The
volume is fully adjustable, allowing you to turn it up, down,
or completely off.
- Alkaline
and Acidic level indicators
The Athena
has an LCD indicator which will numerically display the level
of ionization you have selected. It also has LCD image icons
that display the most typical use for any given setting.
- Dual Filter
Life Indicator
The Athena
offers you a way to track the filter life in each of the two
filters. It counts actual filter use it is not just a
timer like on less expensive models.
- Change Filter
Reminder
An LCD display
will flash on the control panel as extra insurance that you know
when to change each filter.
- Methods of
Installation
The Athena
provides you with the right installation options. It can be installed
at your sink with a diverter from the tap, plumbed directly to
your cold water line or undersink (optional undersink kit required).
- pH test kit
This kit
contains test tubes, reagent liquid and a pH color chart to help
you understand the ionizer's performance and so that you can
be sure you are drinking the right level of pH.
- Installation
DVD
The Athena
comes with a step by step short, but very informative DVD movie,
showing you everything you will need to know to install, optimize
and maintain the performance of your ionizer.
- Fantastic
Owners Manual
This beautiful
manual was written by the folks at IonWays it's a great
tool!
- Installation
kit
Comes
with everything you will need to perform a standard installation.

The
Athena Water Ionizer represents the
BEST AVAILABLE in water ionization technology today:
Performance,
Features,
Functionality and
Modern Styling
All backed by the dependability and certainty of
Emco Tech, the world leader in ionization.
- Filtration - Dual Filtration
Capability
The Athena
is the only Emco Tech ionizer that offers on-board dual filtration
capability. It
cleans your water to be 99.9% contaminant free. The Athena incorporates
a pre-filter and the revolutionary Biostone Plus Filtration System.
The pre-filter makes the Athena the only ionizer that gives
you ability to quickly and easily add a specialty cartridge to
your system onboard ! No filter housings to hook up
or difficult/extra connections to make. If you have a Reverse
Osmosis (RO) system or a unique filtration requirement such as
needing to remove lead or arsenic, you can order and install
these specialty cartridges directly into your ionizer.
- Electrode Technology
- The Athena
offers you the absolute zenith of cutting-edge electrode technology.
It employs
the new mesh electrode which effectively increases
surface area. When a cross section of an electrode is examined
at 700 times magnification, you can see that the electrodes are
now covered in a super fine mesh with very distinct
high points and valleys. They are electro-plated platinum, providing
the highest level of conductivity and durability. The cutting
edge design and proven durability of electro-plated platinum
electrodes ensures you get the best Oxidative Reduction Potential
(ORP) alteration year in and year out.
- The new mesh
design on the plates also allows for the Athena's compact size.
Do not
be fooled by other manufacturers who claim that a large plate
size is vital to ionization. Effective conductivity is the key.
These manufacturers must claim this because their inferior plates
need to be larger to get the same amount of conductivity that
ours do. Rest assured you get the absolute best combination of
time-tested, proven materials and the benefits of Emco Tech's
cutting edge research and development. This is the technological
advantage of the Athena.
- Durability
- An ionizer is
an investment, and of course you want your investment to last.
The electrodes are the crucial operating component in your ionizer.
All other units on the market clean themselves using a simplistic
reverse polarity system which not only allows
some scale buildup, but also prevents you from using your machine
during its cleaning cycle.
- The Athena
offers the patented new DARC (Double Automatic Reverse Cleaning)
system. It completely eliminates the mineral scaling from collecting
on the electrodes, ensuring you can enjoy many long years of
healthy water.
The DARC system cleans as you ionize so you never have
to wait for a cleaning cycle to complete.
- Functionality
- The Athena
offers a flow control valve that allows you to fine tune its performance
by giving you complete functional control of the water pressure
moving through your ionizer. There are no gimmicks or additional
circuitry, just the time tested advantages of true flow control,
which also provides the possibility of alternate installation
options.
- The Athena
is one of the only ionizers that can be installed three (3) different
ways : 1)
At your sink with a diverter from the tap, 2) At your sink plumbed
directly to your cold water line. There is no diverter and you
can operate the Athena while running the hot water out of your
tap, and 3) Undersink completely out of sight with a small dedicated
faucet (optional undersink kit required).

Another Great Emco Tech
Advantage
The Biostone Plus Filter
The Emco Tech quality extends
to the revolutionary Biostone Plus filters.
BioStone Plus: This filter
may be used in the Athena or the Delphi. The nine stage Biostone
Plus incorporates the amazing natural properties of vortex
hydraulics in its filter body design which reduce channeling
and ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your filter.
Its superior cutting edge filtration media is a uniquely treated
type of super carbon. This is media designed for
ultimate chlorine and chloramines filtration. Also, a special
heavy metal reduction media reduces lead, aluminum, copper and
other heavy metals. It also provides you extra protection against
chlorine and chloramines. The addition of Bioceramic Tourmaline
reduces surface tension in the water and aids in the ionization
process. Multiple sediment filters between the various stages
remove the suspended solids of one micron or greater. The Biostone
Plus is manufactured in the US with NSF certified components.
If you upgrade your Athena to employ two Biostone Plus filters,
you will have 18 stages and the very best filtration system available
in an ionizer anywhere.
