How does the ionSpa compare to the cheap units?
There is no comparison! The $500 or less units are, unfortunately, often non-working ionic footbaths. Most of the cheap units utilize a 12-volt power supply. Bohr’s Law of Physics demands you have 13.6 volts across the plates to ionize water. Even the 24-volt Chinese manufactured units that we have tested don’t deliver 13.6 volts to the arrays in the bath! In addition, the foreign footbaths may be easier on the pocketbook initially, but the consumable parts that must be replaced periodically are several times more expensive than the same items for the ionSpa (see our Comparison Chart for details!). You end up paying more over the life of the unit. At $995, our Personal unit is priced to give you the best value coupled with the ability for us to provide service to you for years to come.
