LIFE Ionizer™ 8000 is a dedicated under-the-counter ionizer. It comes standard with a stainless steel brushed faucet that will show no fingerprints or watermarks. When we reviewed this product, we liked the fact that the unit comes standard with a custom pre-filter and 2 interior filters that do not use calcium sulfate. Instead, the unit uses an organic vitamin C compound for chlorine and chloramine removal. By itself, this vitamin C compond takes out 99.09% of the methane gas that is given off when chlorine and chloramines purify the water of bacteria. We also like the fact that the unit has up to 220 watts to power the 7 plates in the unit. We also like that the LIFE 8100 is powered by a Switch-mode Power System, also known as SMPS. This will allow the unit to avoid overheating and a consistent flow of power from the moment you plug it in, to 10 years of use. Also, the unit is the only one on the market to use Ultraviolet light, which is a widely accepted form of killing up to 99.99% of bacteria and viruses.
