Foot Detox Machine Comparison

All ionic foot detox machines are not created equal!

There are many ionic foot baths available today. Their popularity has been growing along with the number of people who have benefited from their healing sessions. A foot detox machine may well cost you over $1,000 up to $3,000. There are also some very cheap machines on the internet. Unfortunately with them, you get what you pay for!

When comparing ionic foot detox machines, there are a few key questions we ask:

• Is there adequate voltage?
• Does the machine adjust the intensity automatically or manually?
• Does the machine offer a choice in intensity settings?
• Does the machine offer a negative and positive polarity option?
• What is the warranty and who will service the machine?
• Are there proper safety certifications?
• What type of safety features are built in or added?
• Is the machine offered with a full start up kit and what does it contain?
• How long do the arrays last and how expensive are they?

Power: Many of the less expensive spas are not adequately powered, have faulty circuitry or may be unsafe. As defined by the Bohr model of physics, there must be at least 13.26 volts to produce hydrogen ionization. A quality foot spa will have a power supply of at least 19 volts with some having 24 volts. This insures the correct intensity or amperage can be maintained. All machines have some way of monitoring the intensity so that proper ionization will be produced. Inferior machines will produce some ionization but not the amount of desired negative hydrogen ions needed for maximum effect.

Polarity: When it comes to polarity, it is easy to get confused. An array is comprised of 2 sets of plates. One set is connected to the positive side of the power supply and one set is connected to the negative side. Ionization occurs in the water from the exchange of electrical current flowing from one array to the other. Polarity is reversed by changing by simply switching the negative and positive inputs to each side of the array. Most machines operate in one mode not switching polarity. Here is where it gets sticky. The desired effect of a foot detox is from the production of negative ions. Some people claim that by reversing polarity, you produce positive ions and that a user may benefit from an alternating negative and positive session. Science says this is not true. The same ionization occurs no matter which plate is positive or negative. Energy practitioners that use kinesiology or muscle testing prefer to have the option and some machines are preset to alternate a certain percentage, like 70%-30% negative and positive. Some machines allow for the practitioner to set to their own specifications.

More on the Ion Spa

The Ion Spa began in 2004 as Bella Spa. The owner began by purchasing a machine for his own use and benefited greatly from the spa treatments. Unfortunately at the time, his machine broke and he had trouble with the warranty and repairs. Fortunately for thousands of satisfied clients since, Bella Spa and The Ion Spa were born. In 2010 the Ion Spa was purchased by RGV Vibe and Detox Center LLC.

The Ion Spa is a world leader in ionic foot baths. Machines are made 100% in America and carry an industry leading warranty. What some people pay $1000's for you may now own for yourself with 3 models to choose from ranging from $795-$1,395. Aside from the quality components and customer support, the Ion Spa offers cutting edge technology. The two upper level machines offer their own Intellidrive system which actually adjusts the intensity throughout the session where most machines may weaken toward the end of the session.

The Ion Spa has released it's newest version, V-7, December 5th 2009!

The new portable and professional units are packed full of the most features yet!

*** The Cell Spa units are among the cheapest units and are generally only sold online. You will see these units sold under many different names. There are also different looking models produced by the same manufacturer. While working various trade/health shows, we spoke to several people who had purchased variations of these ionic foot detox machines only to throw them away and purchase a better quality machine. You may find these machines at prices below $400 (although we have seen unscrupulous salesmen selling them for as much as $1,000 or more) but buyer beware.

Our goal is to help you, the consumer, make an informed decision and to help you get the best deal possible on a quality foot spa.
