AlkaViva started in Maui, Hawaii over 10 years ago exclusively selling Emco Tech (also called Jupiter Science) water ionizers plus low speed juice extractors along with various heath books. The business name then was Allorganic and orders were mainly sent from a warehouse in Connecticut. Then in 2006 the name was changed to IonLife Inc and finally in 2010 IonLife merged its dealer network into IonWays while maintaining a retailing division called AlkaViva. AlkaViva is an authorized IonWays distributor. IonWays is the North American exclusive importer of Emco Tech water ionizers which are manufactured by Emco Tech in Japan and Korea.
