FULL CONTROL OF AMPERAGE:

- Amperage is adjusted thru current controller instead of salt for differences in human skin resistance, elements in the water, & the electrolyte
- Full control over current ,
- Other Units on the market adjust amperage ONLY 'via salt' with a straight 24 volt current.

CLEAN POWER pure DC power without excessive ripple

STRONGER POWER We have the most powerful units on the market includng our home model which translates in to creating more negative ions for cleansing the body and draws out more toxins from the body

DUAL REGULATION System, featuring a switching regulator with over-current and over-voltage protection, and adjustable regulator with fold-back circuit

FULL DIGITAL DISPLAY, our digital display displays the amperage output on the fly which is important to know how intense the treatment is so it  can be adjusted if needed. Amperage will change during the session which accounts for variables in the water, in the electrolysis, salt and skin resistance

PRACTITIONER CERTIFICATION TRAINING, take our certification training at home at your leisure. Our training is like no other manufacturer and properly trains you giving you the accurate knowledge needed instead of fluff. 

SAFE CONSTRUCTION through 3 levels of safety protection: a fallback circuit that turns itself off if it detects too much current; an external fuse that shuts down the machine if the fuse blows; and an internal fuse that offers overall protection for the entire unit.

DOUBLE INSULATED for customer protection (no need for a GFI certification)

An Optimizer water module that lasts for an average of ~60 OR MORE footbaths and then is completely disposable without the need the replace separate parts

A reputation for delivering a high level of CUSTOMER SERVICE & SUPPORT

We are dedicated to research and sharing of health knowledge with our customers

Our unique COPPER TUB adds conductivity to the footbath; this means less current which helps extend the life of the Optimizer water array. Other brands only use plastic tubs. Another benefit is a higher production of ions since the copper enhances the movement of electrons where in a plastic tub the electrons slow down when moving away from the array. More electrons moving will create more negative ions.

State-of-the-Art Regulator power supply (unlike Transformer Rectifier [TR] technology from 1960s), Clean power supply and discharge, producing more negative ions

OPTIMUM COSTS more due to quality of the parts. Other units on the market are cheaply made & cost less than $100 dollars then sold for $495 to $1900. The old saying you get what you pay for.

ENGINEER TEAM has over 40 yrs experience with power supplies from TR units to 30,000vdc used on the moon & beyond..

Warranty: We have been manufacturing detox footbaths for more than 13yrs beginning w Focus 1000, Focus 8000, Focus 9000 models. We stand behind our products w our 3yr warranty.

(1) Do I need to order anything else?

• OPTIMUM COPPER TUB (Optional & Recommended) OR purchase a 15qt plastic container at your local store however the copper tub increases conductivity giving you more sessions with your OPII water module and increases production of ions.
• OPTIMUM 2 lb. HIMALAYAN SALT (Optional & Recommended) approx 1/2 tsp salt is used per footbath session, can also be used for cooking, OR purchase a high quality salt w trace minerals at your local store

• OPTIMUM CARRYING CASE (Optional & Recommended for Business if mobile)
• OPTIMUM TRAINING MANUAL (Optional & Recommended for Business & Personal use)

(2) What is the difference between the ES1550i & ES8000i?

The ES1550i Standard is perfect for home use (3.00 Amps & 60 watt power supply). The ES8000i Professional is perfect for professional use (5.5 Amps & 150 watt power supply). The ES1550i includes (1) Optimizer water module & the ES8000i includes (2) Optimizers when subtracting the cost of (1) additional Optimizer the true cost difference between the 2 units is only $379.

(3) How long do the Optimizer water modules last?

'Finally feeling'

I am an 80 year old woman with diabetic neuropathy and rheumatoid arthritis. I have been doing footbaths since September 2007. First I did a series of six then continue twice a month until now. In December my bent toes were straight and I finally had feeling back in my feet. I will never stop my footbaths, I can climb a stairs like someone half my age not one step at a time like I did before. Thank you OPTIMUM Focus!. Read Full Testimonial

'Cellulite Dimples'
I decided I needed to be my own test subject for the detox foot bath.
Today I performed a 6th detox bath on myself.
Since starting these treatments I have a good deal more energy.
My skin is prone to breakouts and (knock on wood) it is clearer.
I have age related cellulite I'm under 120 pounds and relatively healthy so the cellulite is not due to weight issues.
After my fifth session I noticed the dimpled skin on my thighs is noticeably lessened and the dimpled skin on my upper arms has virtually disappeared.
I suffer from severe sleep issues and I have yet to experience any noticeable difference in the quantity of sleep but I am sleeping much deeper; going into REM stage. REM is something I rarely experience.
I will be able to get in two more sessions prior to a scheduled surgical procedure (foot surgery) and will have to put off subsequent sessions for approximately two weeks.
Question should I take up with the current cycle or wait an additional week and begin a second cycle?
I will be a walking testimonial to my clients.
I will contact you soon with a few questions.
Thank you for all you help and advice.. . Read Full Testimonial
