Jupiter has made replacing the filter so much easier with the Mavello. One simply opens the filter compartment door, pushes the filter down on its spring loaded pedestal, and pulls the filter out. New filter installation is literally a "SNAP".

The standard Mavello filter contains the same fiber/granulated activated carbon components found in the Masterpiece filter including some special chlorine eating ingredients. Standard filter replacement cost is $62/each at an estimated useful life of 1000 - 1300 gallons. (Consider Bluestone's counter top carbon briquette pre-filter Model BSG-CB10 for triple the life of the standard filter.)

ULTRA-filter

The big change in Mavello filtration is the availability of the new Jupiter ÒULTRAÓ filter. The ULTRA filter is similar to the standard filter in that it has a section of granulated activated carbon. The BIG difference however is that the top section has hundreds of feet of tiny Polysulfone tubular membranes. These membranes are the same as those used in some kidney dialysis machines and are capable of removing particles as small as 0.01 microns! This will include many kinds of bacteria. The ULTRA filter is priced at $79/each and is good for 1700 gallons. (Again, consider BluestoneÕs counter top carbon briquette pre-filter Model BSG-CB10 for double the life.)

(Note: Neither the Ultra-filter nor the Bluestone carbon briquette filter are intended for use on untreated water that is microbiologically unsafe.)

Calcium Infusion

The calcium infusion feature has been a Jupiter exclusive. This feature allows the gradual addition of calcium to water before it goes through the water cell. During the electrolysis process, the calcium is ionized with the water making it much more absorbable - more so than could be obtained from oyster shell tablets or anti-acids. The Mavello's calcium infuser has been improved:

Adjusting Water Flow Through Calcium Receptacle

Adjusting Water Flow Through Calcium Receptacle It has been removed from the filter and onto the top of the machine. This makes it unnecessary to disturb the calcium cartridge during a filter change. The water flow is now adjustable through the calcium receptacle to either raise or lower the calcium concentration.

Aesthetics

AN ATTRACTIVE AND FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCE The new Jupiter Mavello is a beautiful machine that allows form and function to be wonderfully synergized. As you will see, it will compliment any dŽcor. The color is white with just a touch of very light gray shading. The user panel is functional and yet very pleasing to the eye, as is the polished stainless steel dispensing tube.

The fit and finish of the filter door is one example of the attention to detail paid by Jupiter with this new machine. The door opens and closes effortlessly and the seam is all but invisible.

Underneath the machine, there is even a channel to rout the input hose so it doesn't get crimped under the stand or tangled with the acid discharge.

The sum total emotion that these facets of tactile and sensory perfection evoke is the proud knowledge that you have purchased the finest ionizer that Jupiter has to offer. The price you paid of just $ 737 should also leave you somewhat smug in knowing that you didn't spend $900 or more on a lesser machine.
