Number of plates: |
| |
The KYK Harmony offers five double sized plates. The plates in the Jupiter models are standard sized. The Gold Fox has six larger plates. The Alkablue Variable Flow and Kagen have 5. |

 |
Platinum or white gold? |
| |
The KYK Harmony is the only water ionizer to use white gold instead of platinum to cover its plates. White gold is much cooler so it won't slowly break down or pit your plates from heat. It is also quieter and ionizes better. The manufacturer estimates the KYK Harmony's plates will last a lifetime. All other ionizers offer between 10 and 20 lifespan estimates for their plates. |

 |
Adjusts electrical current? |
| |
The KYK Harmony is the only water ionizer that adjusts its electrical current to match the mineral content of your input water, making sure you always get stable, consistent water at the pH you choose. Every other ionizer will give you a range of results based on the mineral content of your source water, making for inconsistent water. |
| |
|
 |
Uses Transformer? |
| |
The KYK Harmony is the only water ionizer to use the SMPS electrical system instead of a transformer. A transformer produces heat that will cause stress and slowly break a unit down. |
| |
|
 |
pH and ORP Measurement? |
| |
The KYK Harmony measures the pH and ORP of the water as its making it. No other ionizer does this except for the Gold Fox. |
| |
|
 |
Mineral Port: |
| |
The KYK Harmony, Jupiter Melody, and Kagen all offer mineral ports where a user can add mineral to their water to enhance ionization. |
| |
|
 |
Number of pH levels: |
| |
The KYK Harmony has customizable pH levels. By pushing either the "+" or "-" key, users can program in the exact pH or ORP that they want and the KYK Harmony will create it, giving users the ability to drink consistent pH water as part of their diet. All other water ionizers offer between 4 and 8 alkaline and acidic levels. |
| |
|
 |
Color changing screen: |
| |
The KYK Harmony and the Gold Fox offer color changing screens that display the color of the pH or ORP of the water. |
| |
|
 |
Measures water used? |
| |
The KYK Harmony measures the exact amount of liters used and tells users the exact time to change their filter (7000 liters). All other water ionizers use a timer based on how long the unit has been turned on. |
| |
|
 |
Water flow control: |
| |
The KYK Harmony comes with a water flow control valve that you can install anywhere that's convenient for you. The Jupiter Melody has one built into the unit and so does the Alkablue VF. |
| |
|
 |
Carbon Activated Filter: |
| |
The KYK Harmony has a nine stage .01 micron carbon activated filter. Most other filters range between 1 micron and .01 micron and usually offer between 3 and 7 filtration stages. |
