If you are looking for an affordable Japanese water ionizer that has virtually the same alkaline water making capacity as the IE-500 but without the fancy LCD screen then you should consider the IE-400 Microwater ionizer. The IE-400 is a close relative of the legendary Pure Porte II Microwater unit. It has an improved computer on board a front panel face plate. It has three solid electrolysis plates like the IE-300 and the Pure Port II. With several new machines on the market today with five and even seven plates you might not think much of a three plate machine, but that would be like forgetting history. Three plate machines were used in Japanese hospitals before there were five and seven plate water ionizers and they achieved outstanding results. My friend if you are on a tight budget, not faced with a life threatening illness, and don't need a machine that talks don't let anyone talk you into spending thousands more than you need to just to fatten  their bank accounts. The IE-400 all you need to provide alkaline water for 10 or more years. I have personally witnessed a three plate machine (the Pure Porte II) normalize a diabetic condition in less than three months. Results like these were what led so many people to acquire the Pure Porte II in the 90s and early 2000s and the current explosion of the water ionizer market today. We still sell filter cartridges to these customers who are forever thankful that they purchased this miraculous water filter. The IE-400 is an improvement over the Pure Porte II. What you get with the IE-400 is a system that works reliably to produce alkaline water that has miraculous health benefits.  If you want a little more style for only a few more dollars then check out the IE-500 or any of our other models.
