The Athena represents the
best of performance, features, functionality and modern
styling available in water ionization technology today -
all backed by the dependability and certainty of Emco
Tech, the world leader in ionization.
Filtration
 The
Athena is the only Emco Tech ionizer that offers
on-board dual filtration capability. It cleans your
water to be 99.9% contaminant free. The Athena
incorporates a pre-filter and the revolutionary Biostone
Filtration System. The pre-filter makes the Athena the
only ionizer that gives you ability to quickly and
easily add a specialty cartridge to your system –
onboard ! No filter housings to hook up or
difficult/extra connections to make. If you have a
Reverse Osmosis (RO) system or a unique filtration
requirement such as needing to remove lead or arsenic,
you can order and install these specialty cartridges –
directly into your ionizer.
The Athena
offers you the absolute zenith of cutting-edge electrode
technology. It employs the new “mesh electrode” which
effectively increases surface area. When a cross section
of an electrode is examined at 700 times magnification,
you can see that the electrodes are now covered in a
“super fine” mesh with very distinct high points and
valleys. They are electro-plated platinum, providing the
highest level of conductivity and durability. The
cutting edge design and proven durability of
electro-plated platinum electrodes ensures you get the
best Oxidative Reduction Potential (ORP) alteration year
in and year out.
 The
new mesh design on the plates also allows for the
Athena's compact size. Do not be fooled by other
manufacturers who claim that a large plate size is vital
to ionization. Effective conductivity is the key. These
manufacturers must claim this because their inferior
plates need to be larger to get the same amount
of conductivity that ours do. Rest assured you get the
absolute best combination of time-tested, proven
materials and the benefits of Emco Tech's cutting edge
research and development. This is the technological
advantage of the Athena.
Durability
 An
ionizer is an investment, and of course you want your
investment to last. The electrodes are the crucial
operating component in your ionizer. All other units on
the market clean themselves using a simplistic “reverse
polarity” system – which not only allows some scale
buildup, but also prevents you from using your machine
during its cleaning cycle. The Athena offers the
patented new DARC (Double Automatic Reverse Cleaning)
system. It completely eliminates the mineral scaling
from collecting on the electrodes, ensuring you can
enjoy many long years of healthy water. The DARC system
cleans as you ionize – so you never have to
wait for a cleaning cycle to complete.
You will also want your
ionizer company to be around to take care of your needs
many years after you actually make the purchase. This
key value point cannot be emphasized enough. In the last
two years alone, approximately 8 new manufacturers have
come and gone in the market, and many more companies
have fallen short attempting to sell their wares. With
IonWays and Emco Tech, you buy with the absolute
certainty that your company will be around to support
you – long after the other “inferior” companies have
left their customers “high and dry” without support.
Their combined 35 plus years of experience and track
record is unmatched…...period.
Functionality
The Athena offers a flow
control valve that allows you to fine tune its
performance by giving you complete functional control of
the water pressure moving through your ionizer. There
are no gimmicks or additional circuitry, just the time
tested advantages of true flow control, which also
provides the possibility of alternate installation
options. The Athena is one of the only ionizers that can
be installed three (3) different ways : 1) At your sink
with a diverter from the tap, 2) At your sink plumbed
directly to your cold water line. There is no diverter
and you can operate the Athena while running
the hot water out of your tap, and 3) Undersink
completely out of sight with a small dedicated faucet
(optional undersink kit required).
Performance Features
Mesh Plate Electrodes
Five of the most advanced mesh platinum-titanium
electrodes in the world ~ backed by Emco Tech's
reputation.
DARC Cleaning System
Will completely eliminate mineral scaling from the
ever-important electrodes – increasing the life of your
ionizer. It also means you never have to wait for a
cleaning cycle to finish before you get another glass of
delicious ionized water.
Biostone Filter
The enhanced performance and functionality of a dual
filtration system (2 filters) which includes the
revolutionary and patented 9-stage Biostone filtration
system.
MICOM Electronics
The MICOM control panel optimizes the pH and ORP of your
water and helps keeps your ionizer in top working
condition. A new indicator light alerts you if service
is needed on your ionizer.
Flow Control
The Athena has a flow control valve that allows you to
fine tune the performance and gives you true functional
control of the water pressure through your ionizer.
LCD Flow Rate
Indicator
This beautiful color Liquid Crystal (LCD) Displays
flickers faster or slower to indicate the rate of water
flow through your Athena.
Calcium Port
This port allows you to add extra calcium to your
ionizer. It is important to note that the Athena is a
very strong ionizing unit and will not require the use
of extra calcium in most areas of the country. Some
areas however have soft water or water that is low in
naturally-occurring calcium and other dissolved
minerals. This feature is intended to boost ionization
performance in those areas when necessary.
Protective
features
Low Pressure
Alarm
Not enough water flow can damage any ionizer. Emco Tech
has built in an LCD alarm that will illuminate when
there is not enough water pressure into your Athena to
operate it safely. This feature safeguards the water
cell and protects your investment.
Temperature Shut
Down
The Athena employs a thermal switch in the water cell to
shut down the ionization process if the temperature in
the cell gets too hot. This small but valuable feature
gives you peace of mind.
Electrical
Protection
The Athena has a glass tube fuse that will protect the
expensive circuitry in case of power fluctuations or
surges.
Hot Water Alarm
Hot water can damage your filters. This LCD alarm will
illuminate to safeguard your Athena against damage.
Convenient
User-Friendly Features
Voice
Confirmation
This feature audibly tells you (the machine actually
speaks to you) what type of water you have selected each
time you use the ionizer. The volume is fully
adjustable, allowing you to turn it up, down, or
completely off.
Alkaline and
Acidic level indicators
The Athena has an LCD indicator which will numerically
display the level of ionization you have selected. It
also has LCD image icons that display the most typical
use for any given setting.
Dual Filter Life
Indicator
The Athena offers you a way to track the filter life in
each of the two filters. It counts actual filter use –
it is not just a timer like on less expensive models.
Change Filter
Reminder
An LCD display will flash on the control panel as extra
insurance that you know when to change each filter.
Functional
Features
Methods of
Installation
The Athena provides you with the right installation
options. It can be installed at your sink with a

color chart to help you understand the ionizer's
performance and so that you can be sure you are drinking
the right level of pH.
