You might have a pass-through near your sink where you can spare some space. If the ionizer fits crosswise in the opening, the back would face the width of the wall. If not, and the ionizer front faces into the kitchen you might like to put a photo of you and your sweetheart, or even your kids to obscure the back view. Or perhaps a photo of your parents who made you so smart that you got a water ionizer! My mother uses this option.
Many water ionizers come with a wall-mount bracket. These work GREAT and often this installation uses unused space. As an alternative, or if your ionizer didn’t include the wall mount option, a sturdy shelf, securely mounted works too. Be sure to mount either option up high enough NOT to interfere with counter use. I have a wall-mounted ionizer in my kitchen.
You may not be aware that without investing in an under counter water ionizer, you can install the ionizer under the sink. This is what my kids did. This is a bit more complicated than above the sink, but it can work. I carry an Under the Counter Conversion Kit (email or call me) that has an above counter double spout – one for alkaline, with the other just underneath it for acid water. There needs to be an extra hole in your countertop or you’ll need to have one professionally drilled. The ionizer gets mounted on the interior side wall of the cabinet below the sink, or on the door if it’s sturdy enough and the hinges are well crafted. Of course you can always have the water ionizer simply sit on the floor of the cabinet.
A plumber is needed to hook the conversion kit up to your cold water line. (HOT WATER should NEVER be run through an ionizer.) There are several hoses to connect, and depending which ionizer you have, you may need some connectors and/or fittings to make it all work properly. A handy person who knows a bit about plumbing may be able to do this without a plumber.
When it’s all hooked up, you choose your alkaline or acid settings from the unit down below, but the waster comes out on top. Choosing the settings from inside the cabinet is the one drawback of a counter top water ionizer installed to be an under counter water ionizer.
The photo above is the Jupiter Delphi Under Counter Ionizer ($2,645). Email me if you’re want more information. With this true “under counter” water ionizer you can choose your ionizer settings from the stem of the faucet on top of the sink.
Anyway you mount it, ionized water is the water of choice – and drink lots of it!!!

We grew lots of vegetables and fruits, from tomatoes to potatoes, goose berries to goji berries, an enormous amount of strawberries and even free-range organic chickens (although I’m a vegetarian, Justin and Rocky weren’t). We had delicious heirloom tomatoes all winter long in the greenhouse, along with figs and purslane, accompanied by hibiscus, passion vines and geraniums in bloom! We had even started growing dwarf banana trees and papayas in the greenhouse. In the summer we had gooseberries, blueberries, aronia berries, raspberries, blackberries, elderberries and strawberries grown in upright cylinders to get more berries per square foot. We had an almond tree, peach, pear and apple trees, and flowers galore! Over 150 different kinds of iris’ blooming amongst daffodils, tulips, lilies, hollyhocks, dahlias, foxgloves, clematis, and literally, countless others. Here’s a photo of us with the first crop of winter heirloom tomatoes from our greenhouse in winter 2007-08!
