| Features Comparison | Basic 5-level alkaline output, one level avid. 1 micron filter. Internal coral calcium port. | Mavello is a solid reliable unit. It has nice features, state of the art electronics, patented polymer ion separation technology. It is also more convenient to use but lacks the fully automatic cleaning feature of the new MicroLite. It produces 15-20% stronger Alkaline and Acid Water than the Masterpiece. The ability to fill a 5 gallon bottle from the stainless steel spigot on top of the unit. | The advantage of Tourmaline BioStone means that your MicroLite (and Melody) are supercharged in all functions. The Microlite is the new, upgraded version of the Mavello (now 4 years old). The Microlite has nicer features, state of the art electronics and patented polymer ion separation technology with true automatic cleaning. It is also more convenient to use with LED display and automatic cleaning. It produces 15-20% stronger Alkaline and Acid Water than the Masterpiece.

| Summary | If value is what you are looking for, the Masterpiece is the least expensive quality water ionizer sold on the market. It is a good, basic workhorse unit | It has the bells and whistles that the Masterpiece does not have: a better filter, stronger Ionized Water, nice features. MicroLite updated Mavello model at same price. | As the latest model from Jupiter, MicroLite is worth the extra money. It replaces the Mavello (now on market 4 years) and has the bells and whistles that the Masterpiece does not have - a better filter, stronger ionized water, nice features and impeccable technology. If you don't mind spending the extra money, then the MicroLite is the way to go. You can easily fill a 5 gallon bottle from the stainless steel spigot on top of the unit. | If you want the best then the Melody is for you. The difference is bells and whistles, with the exception of its filter abilities, its non-mixing patented output ability, and its ability to be directly plumbed into the mains. It is 5% stronger than the MicroLite/Mavello and 25% stronger than the Masterpiece. Also great compact size for bench top. The Melody is simply excellent in all ways and we believe to be the best water purifier available anywhere. |
