Tyent Q-Series vs AlkaViva Vesta H2
The Tyent Q-Series and AlkaViva Vesta H2 serve different budget tiers entirely. The Q-Series is Tyent's sub-$1,000 on-ramp: app-connected, dual ultrafiltration, and lifetime labor for buyers who want the Tyent warranty story at minimum spend. The Vesta H2 is a mid-tier 9-plate flagship with UltraWater lab-tested filtration and 1.4 PPM H₂ for ~$2,800. Buy the Q-Series if your ceiling is under $1,000; buy the Vesta H2 when you are ready for 9-plate performance and contaminant lab data.
