Why Choose the IonChi™ Foot Spa?

Outlined below in detail are the advantages of choosing the IonChi™ Foot Spa over the competition. With the increasing popularity of ionic foot spas and an increasing number of companies touting miracle detox cures, we think it's important to outline exactly what sets the IonChi™ Foot Spa apart from the over-priced foot spa machines and the miracle detox bunch.

1. NO TROUBLESOME WRIST STRAPS, BELTS OR TENS ELECTRODES - This is important for two reasons. The wrist strap, belt or tens wires serve the main purpose of grounding the machine. That said, no person should be acting as a grounding device.

More importantly though, and the best reason to buy a machine without a wrist strap or or other grounding component is convenience. Yes convenience, especially if you are a professional administering ionic footbath sessions to clients. Machines that use wrist straps or other grounding components very often stop working mid-session and will register "CIRCUIT ERROR". Circuit errors happen when the grounding component breaks the current with the user. This can happen for a number of reasons and is very common. Once it happens the session must be started again from the beginning. It is not only a huge waste of time it is UNPROFESSIONAL.

The latest Series #5 IonChi™ Ionic Foot Bath has been re-engineered with a safe internal ground that guarantees safety and provides professionalism and convenience. With the IonChi™ and you will never have to waste time or apologize for a "circuit error" again!

2. PRICE - Do not be fooled into purchasing an expensive ionic foot spa with an inflated and unnecessary 5 year warranty. There are many companies on the web and elsewhere selling ionic foot spas for well over $1000. Most machines carrying a 5 year warranty are sold for upwards of $1500. Some units sold by companies with deep pockets are sold for more than $2900! These machines are not worth this kind of money. They have the same functionality and are based on the exact same scientific principles as the IonChi™ Foot Spa.

Also do NOT be fooled by inexpensive machines being sold on eBay and elsewhere for under $300. At the end of the day the axiom "you get what you pay for" still holds true. These machines are made with inferior parts, come with zero accountability, can be dangerous and will likely end up costing more to replace in the long run.

What to look out for from cheap machines sold on ebay and on "simple sites".

• Wrist Straps - wrist straps, infrared belt or anything else you have to attach to the user is a bad sign! These can be dangerous as they are essentially using the user as a ground for the machine. BE CAREFUL. Steer clear of any machine with a wrist strap, infrared belt, tens patches or any other mechanism that attaches to the user.
• Round black or white inferior arrays/modules. These are really cheap and will usually wear away within a few sessions. They are made of cheap metal wire coils that resemble soldering wire. The wire is usually aluminum. These arrays are sold for a fraction of what a quality array costs but will end up costing much more over time since they almost dissolve in a very short time.

Why such extreme price differences? There are a few reasons you will hear continuously from the sellers of expensive ionic foot spa machines including where they are made, 5 year warranties, safety certifications, voltage, customer service, return policy, replacement parts costs and easy of use & cleanup. While these are all important factors to consider they should not fool you into paying more than you have to for a high quality ionic foot spa.

BEWARE of this phrase. Sellers offering low quality cheap machines will usually say something like "we buy in bulk and therefore can pass the savings to you". What they really mean is they buy dangerous junk and it's yours if you are willing to fall for it.

3. 1 YEAR WARRANTY - Ask yourself this...Why do machines with 5 year warranties need 5 year warranties if they are so good? How much is the seller charging you for those 5 years? Odds are you're paying an inflated premium for no logical reason. With regard to warranties the decision should be based on this...how are you using the machine and how long before you have recouped what you paid for it?

For example, If you are a professional user selling spa sessions for $25-$80 dollars, how long will it take you to earn what you paid for the machine? If it is within 1 year then why do you need to pay for an extended warranty? And if you are considering purchasing a machine for personal/home use, then how long before you recoup what it would have cost you to go to a professional and pay $25-$80 per session? So why do you want to pay for an expensive extended warranty?

Every IonChi™ Ionic Foot Spa & Bath Unit comes with a 1 YEAR WARRANTY. Should the unit malfunction or stop working within 1 year of the date of purchase you may return it for repair or a replacement machine.

4. ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE USA - This is an important factor and should be taken seriously. It is crucial in your decision process to consider who you are buying from. Many sites including major auction sites like Ebay are flooded with poor quality ionic foot spa devices sold by people who frankly do not care once the sale is complete.

*You want to buy from a website or company that offers a secure payment gateway, excellent customer service, an office in the USA and a fair return policy. You also want to avoid sites that sell based on color change and miracle detox promises. Do your research before you buy to make sure you are buying from a reputable seller. If you have questions concerning a specific seller call us first and we can provide you with objective research to help you in your decision process.

5. SAFETY - The CE marking (also known as CE mark) is a mandatory conformity mark on many products placed on the single market in the European Economic Area (EEA). The CE marking (an acronym for the French "Conformite Europeenne") certifies that a product has met EU health, safety, and environmental requirements, which ensure consumer safety. Every IonChi™ Ionic Foot Spa Unit is CE certified and carries the CE mark. Despite safety claims by companies selling overpriced units and using Foot Bath Safety to justify the high price of their machines, the fact is that there has never been a single person caused bodily injury from using an ionic foot spa machine ...EVER. Not electrocuted, not burned, not hit over the head with...no instances of injury ...NEVER.

6. POWER/VOLTAGE - This is important. The Bohr Model of atomic physics states that at least 13.6 Volts needs to be applied to the water to allow for an electron jump in the hydrogen atom to released negative ions. Many machines on the market today do not meet this requirement. Many over priced machines on the market today boast a more than sufficient 24 Volts. The IonChi™ Ionic Foot Spa Unit is 17 Volts. The recommended amperage for all ionic foot baths is between 2.0 and 2.4 amps. This optimal ionization setting is achieved by adding salt to the bath water to increase the natural level of conductivity of the water.

7. REPLACEMENT PARTS - Replacement parts play a crucial role in the ongoing cost of your ionic foot spa unit. The more it costs to replace these parts the more you will have to pay over time to maintain your ionic spa unit. Most popular among the lower quality units on the market are "arrays" with a thin coil of metal inside of a circular plastic shell. These arrays are weak and will tend to wear quickly. One the other end of the spectrum are fancy arrays/modules that consist of ring sets, plates and hard to use clips. These come in various sizes and promise various numbers of sessions. Important here is to purchase a machine that offers an easily replaceable array/module at a reasonable cost.

The IonChi™ Ionic Foot Spa Unit uses a disposable and easy to clean array made of metal alloy bars enclosed in a white plastic oval shaped case. Each array should last a minimum of (40) 30 minute sessions per array (customers report ranges from 40 - 60 uses per array) *This minimum is based on very stringent cleansing in a professional setting. Home users cleaning with less harsh cleansers report an average of 50-60 sessions/uses per array. IonChi™ Guarantees the lowest price on this model array and will beat any advertised price.

8. EASE OF USE AND CLEANUP - Simply put the machine you decide to buy should be easy to use and easy to cleanup after each session. The IonChi™ Ionic Foot Spa Unit has 3 power setting to choose from and runs on an automated 30 minute program by default. The arrays are simple and easy to clean. Each unit comes with an instruction manual which is also available in .PDF format on this site. Customer service is just a toll free call away to help with setup and instruction if necessary.

Best of luck in your decision to buy an ionic foot spa machine! We hope this helps you make a more informed decision. If you have any additional questions please call us Toll FREE: 1-800-367-4082
