Electric Ionizers

We invite you to try out our incredible, life-changing electric ionizers. We are so sure that you will be satisfied that, for any electric ionizer purchased through this website, we offer you a 60* day money-back guarantee. If at any time in the first 60 days, you wish to return your ionizer we will give you a full refund if your ionizer is new, unused and in the original packaging. If you have used the ionizer and it is in “as new” condition (unlike other companies who charge 15% – which can end up costing you many hundreds of dollars) we charge you a simple $99.95 flat fee. “As new” condition means that the electric ionizer is not scratched, damaged or broken in any way and is returned in proper working order in the original box with all the hoses, connectors, parts, manual, DVD, etc. The original shipping charges will not be refunded and return shipping charges must be prepaid by the purchaser.

As new condition means that the electric ionizer is not scratched, damaged or broken in any way and is returned in proper working order in the original box with all the hoses, connectors, parts, manual, DVD, etc. If you have NOT used the ionizer, and NOT opened the box, you can return the ionizer within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. The original shipping charges will not be refunded and return shipping charges must be prepaid by the purchaser

The AlkaViva Invitation – Non-electric ionizers (elita US, elita CT and elita Pure)

For non-electric ionizers (elita US, elita CT and elita Pure), we offer a 30 day money back guarantee. If at any time in the first 30 days you wish to return your non-electric ionizer, we will give you a full refund (less 15% restocking fee) as long as your non-electric ionizer is returned in as new condition and in its original packing. As new condition means that the ionizer is not scratched, damaged or broken in any way and is returned in proper working order in the original box. If you have NOT used the ionizer, and NOT opened the box, you can return the ionizer within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. (Refunds are made once the unit is received and inspected.) The original shipping charges will not be refunded and return shipping charges must be prepaid by the purchaser. All requests for warranty service must be accompanied by a valid sales receipt.

The AlkaViva Honest Warranty

Our electric ionizers have the lowest return rate in the industry. If something does go wrong with your electric ionizer, you can be confident with your AlkaViva Honest Warranty and our top-notch customer service. This warranty applies to all AlkaViva electric ionizers purchased AFTER August 2009. (Please refer to your individual warranty card for purchases prior to September 2009).

Details about the Honest Warranty:

The warranty on AlkaViva electric ionizers begins on the original purchase date. The AlkaViva Honest Warranty covers all electric ionizer parts (not accessories) for life and 100% of labor costs in the first 5 years. After the first 5 years, the purchaser is responsible for any labor costs. In no event shall AlkaViva or its dealers be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or special consequential damages to property whatsoever, arising from use of its products with improperly treated or untreated hard water.

AlkaViva will cover all shipping costs for any return under warranty in the first 30 days. After that date, the purchaser is responsible for all shipping. Items that have not been assigned an RMA number will not be accepted. The warranty expressly excludes environmental damage including (but not limited to) mineral build-up due to hard water or high levels of iron, poor source water quality, infestation, or electrical surges. Warranty is also excluded if non-genuine filters (sold by other than anyone other than an authorized AlkaViva Dealer) are used in an ionizer. Any authorized site will state clearly that they are an “Authorized AlkaViva Distributor.” Non-genuine filters have been shown to not only impair performance, but also to leak out media that has and can damage ionizers. AlkaViva is not responsible for any shipping costs on repairs outside of the United States.

The Honest Warranty is valid for the life-cycle of each ionizer as long as parts are still being manufactured and/or available, but not discontinued. AlkaViva reserves the right to substitute, discontinue, alter or modify any product or part thereof, at any time, without prior notice. Warranty is voided if repairs are made by anyone other than an AlkaViva repair technician.

Note: Warranty does not apply if the ionizer has been used for selling or vending water commercially. If a commercial warranty is required, please contact Customer Service.

The AlkaViva Warranty on the elita Countertop and elita Undersink models.

The warranty on the AlkaViva elita products is for 3 years and begins on the original purchase date. The AlkaViva elita warranty covers all parts and 100% of labor costs due to manufacturing defects only. Customer is responsible for shipping costs both ways unless unit is bad out of the box and returned within 30 days of purchase. The warranty expressly excludes damage caused by environmental factors including (but not limited to) mineral build-up due to hard water or high levels of iron or poor source water quality. No need to register your elita for warranty as proof of purchase is sufficient.

The warranty on the AlkaViva Perfect Pitcher is for 1 year and begins on the original purchase date. The AlkaViva Perfect Pitcher warranty covers all parts and 100% of labor costs due to manufacturing defects only.

Limited Warranty (Revised 10/1/2018)

NOTE: AlkaViva LLC’s warranty covers the components of its UltraHome Whole House Systems. The length of warranty for parts is a period of 5 years for control valves, 10 years on media tanks, and there is no expressed warranty on media or other consumable or wearable items.

AlkaViva LLC warranty begins on the date of purchase to end customers. The AlkaViva warranty does not cover damage incurred during transit. AlkaViva LLC warranty covers that its products and components will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of 5 and 10 years as outlined below. All warranties are subject to the terms and conditions, exclusions and limitations detailed herein. AlkaViva LLC does not make any warranty or implied warranty as to the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. AlkaViva LLC does not warranty any filtration medias capabilities, as all filtration medias capabilities will be dependent on source water chemistry.

Media Filtration Tanks 13” diameter and smaller used for cold water, influent applications only, are warranted for a period of 10 years. Media Filtration Tanks 14”and larger are warranted for a period of 5 years. Media Filtration Tanks must be adequately protected against excessive water pressure (not to exceed 125 psi), water hammer, freezing, hot water (120F maximum), impact damage and vacuum failure. The installation must incorporate flexible connections to prevent failure caused by tank expansion. Outdoor installations must be protected from UV exposure.

Tanks must be installed on a solid, flat foundation.

Control Valves and related valve accessories are warranted for 5 years. Damage or failure of “wearable parts” (e.g. pistons, o-rings, quad rings, seals, spacers, gaskets, circuit boards and other parts) caused by friction, wear, chemical attack and debris are not covered.

Filtration media is highly dependent upon and susceptible to application and influent water chemistry and is not warranted. When properly used filtration, medias will last up to 10 years, or 1,000,000 gallons, depending on water quality. Systems must be installed and maintained by a licensed, bonded contractor with substantial knowledge and experience with the system in question. Installation and maintenance must comply with all applicable ordinances and plumbing codes. Items in water sensitive areas must include a dedicated pressure regulator, anti-hammer device as appropriate and a leak protection device to mitigate any potential damages.

This warranty does not apply to consumable items, media, sediment pre-filters, products or components that are damaged due to neglect, misapplication, accident, modification, freezing, acts of God, damage, water temperature in excess of 120F, vacuum or any other factor outside of normal operation and source water issues. Contact AlkaViva LLC in advance for advice as to the suitability of a product for a specific purpose, concern and desired result.

Warranty does not extend to items built wholly or partially to the Purchaser’s design or specifications. This AlkaViva LLC warranty is in lieu of any other warranty, expressed or implied. Warranty is void by failing to fully comply with installation, product label, operation or maintenance instructions including the use of incompatible lubricants or sealants.

Warranty applies only to the specific failed component part(s). Items for warranty consideration must be sent freight insured, pre-paid and appropriately packaged to AlkaViva LLC in Reno Nevada with a formal Service Authorization (SA) reference number.

Returns / Exchanges / Refunds

Please contact Customer Service to initiate a return of any type. Returns will not be accepted without our prior authorization and a valid Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Once your return has been processed, you can expect a refund within 7 business days. Electric ionizer returns need to be completed within 60 days of purchase and other purchases within 30 days*.

*Does not apply to any financed ionizer. Finance contracts require a 72-hour right of rescission, after which you become liable to the finance company for the contract value.

Repairs / Technical Questions / Troubleshooting

Please complete and submit the Water Ionizer Technical Support Form. Please avoid calling. You will receive faster service completing the online form than by calling (since you will still have to complete the form).

International Retail Ionizer Orders

A flat $250 fee added onto any order for delivery outside the United States and/or Canada which covers the cost of shipping and the cost of conversion to 220v (the flat fee is $175 if your country does not require conversion). Shipping is by USPS or FedEx International Shipping and includes tracking and insurance. The terms of the AlkaViva warranty as outlined above applies to all international retail orders. However, customers who purchase any AlkaViva ionizer for delivery outside the United States shall bear any and all shipping costs to and from an authorized AlkaViva repair center (as decided by AlkaViva) for warranty work and for any duties or customs fees resulting from transit for repair. We suggest that any customer on an untreated water source (such as well or catchment) provide a water quality report to AlkaViva so that we may determine if pre-filtration is recommended.
