Page 19

When to replace the filter

When the water tastes changes or the water flow volume decreases dramatically, you need to check whether the life span is overdue.

When the filter usage status indicating number becomes 999 , it will blink.

It is recommended to replace the filter even before the end of life span is reached, if the water smells or the water

flow volume decreases, considering the life span can be different depending on the quality of water in individual areas

How to measure the pH value (Ion concentration)

Do not let the pH regent contact the eyes and do not drink it.

- In case of drinking it by mistake, you need to drink lots of water. In case of the test solution contacting the eyes, you need to clean your eyes with sufficient water and then consult a doctor.

Do not place it near any heat of fire. If not followed, fire can be caused. Do not store the regent in a place where it can be reached easily be children. Avoid any place where the temperature or moisture level is high.

The pH test solution is an expendable item. It can be purchased at the sales shop or the main office.

Caution

The pH values (Ion concentration) of the generated alkaline or acidic ionized water can be measured.

Check the generated water after adjusting the water pressure to meet the standard water flow volume (1.5

0.5 /Min.) according to the ionized water generation method. (The pH values can varies depending on the quality of water and the flow volume)

Materials to be prepared: The pH Regent - components How to measure

1. Let the generated water (Alkaline or Acidic ionized water) flow through for about 10 seconds.

2. After filling a transparent glass water cup 1/3 with the water, drop 2~3 droppings of the pH Regent into the

water and shake it.

3. Compare it with the pH colorimetry.

Items that require your understanding

The color of the test solution will change as time goes by.

(Compare the color of the test solution with the pH colorimetry before too much time passes by after dropping the

test solution into the water)

When disposing of the undiluted test solution, you need mix it with water to make it light before letting it flow out.

When the pH concentration is measured, the color of the test solution can come out differently compared with the pH colorimetry due to the effect of various substances dissolved in the water such as carbonic acid gas. The pH color of the alkaline or acidic ionized varies depending on the pH level.

In the following cases, the replacement period can be shortened drastically:

When there is rusty water due to aged pipes Lots of impurities in the water for a short period of time If the product is used in a place where the water pressure is low.

Caution - Precautions for the pH test.

Page 20

Do not disconnect the electric plug.

(When the plug is disconnected, the system can be restored when the reset button is pushed)

How to replace the filter

1.Open the cover and remove the filter. (Picutre1~3) Be careful of the possible water coming out of the filter. (It is not leakage)

2.Replace with a new filter. (Picture 4)

Should remove the sealing sticker of the filter.

Check whether the O-ring is attached well at the bottom of the new filter first. Then, place the filter

into the hole securely and turn it clockwise to insert it into the connection part. If a unbranded filter is installed, there will be a voice guidance saying

Filter rejected, mount correct one. , and the

power will be turned off after 20 seconds.

3.Let the water flow through after selecting the purified water function.

Let the water flow through for about 2~3 minutes.

(Dusts of activated carbon which is the filtering medium may flow mixed together with water during

the initial flow after the filter is replaced.)

Check whether there is any water leakage at the installation section of the filter.

4. Push the reset button. (Picture 5) Check whether the filter usage status indicating number becomes. [000]

5. Close the cover. (Picture 6)

Items that require your understanding

When you get the alkaline ionized water in a cup after the filter is replaced, there can be white bubbles.. That is not abnormal. The ion concentration (pH value) can become slightly higher after the filter is replaced (For about 1 week). That is not abnormal.

Follow the steps mentioned above even when replacing the filter earlier than the time for the replacement.

The filter without our company logo is not a genuine product. When a genuine filter is not used, the quality

cannot be guaranteed and the normal after sales service(A/S) will not be available.

Cleaning Filter

Calcium scale in electrodes may cause…. The reason for the calcium scale on the alkaline side of the water ionizer is because the high

pH of the water causes the minerals in the water to precipitate out of the water and become displaced.

Calcium scale on the electrodes causes the pH data of Ionized water decrease because the source water is not coming in contact with the electrodes. once your water ionizer is cleaned using this metod, the pH of the ionized water will be resume higher because the water is now coming in direct contact with the cleaned electrodes

Symptom of calcium scale when whitish floating substances are found in the alkalized water

when the water output declines significantly when the pH of alkalized water drops significantly

Use of Cleaning Filter Cleaning filter will eliminate most Calcium scale on the plates and inside the chamber of your

ionizer allowing for longer life and better performance. Cleaning filter provides the way to keep your water ionizer. insures that the platinum/titanium plates remain clean and free of calcium.

Answers to questions

Q (Questions) A (Answers)

Can we use the underground water ?

Yes, the ground water can be used

But, the designated pH concentration

level may not achieve depending on areas

and quality of water. Before installing the

system, you need to check whether the

requirements for the drinking water can be met. [Contact the sales shop or the main office for more detailed information]

How to handle the product when we will not use for a long period time (More than 10 days) ?

The filter needs to be disconnected from

the main body, packed into a vinylpackage

and stored in a refrigerator.

Disconnect the electric plug.

When you start to use the system newly after the period you need to replace the filter. Then you need to use water after letting the water flow through for about 3

minutes.

What temperature the flowing water is allowed to keep ?

Only the water temperatures that is below 30

C can be used within the water unit.

For the use of the system

When cleaning the chopping board

When you use the chopping board continuously for a long time, it will be full of knife scars. Then filthy impurities can be stuck in those knife scars. Use the acidic ionized water to clean and sanitize the chopping board completely.

When cleaning the tableware

Considering that the acidic ionized water has the cleaning as well as sterilizing power, it can be used for cleaning the tableware.

When washing the floors

The floorcloth, which is constantly kept wet, is the hotbed for molds. When the acidic ionized water is used for washing the floorcloth, filthy odor can be removed and also the sterilizing effect can be enjoyed. The same goes for the dishcloth.

Page 26

Q (Questions) A (Answers)

When we get the alkaline ionized water in a container, there are white substances forming, or depositing on the bottom. What are those?

This is a rare phenomenon that occurs in purification. If the water contains mineral substances or carboxyl group (CO

), they may become more activated with

electrolysis-ionization, and it may become serious. Adjust the pH level to meet the characteristics of the water.

The white substances are generated

because the alkaline ionized water contains

lots of mineral calcium. Especially when

the carboxyl group

(CO3)

is abundant, it is

bonded with calcium, leading to the precipitation of

calcium carbonate (CaCO

). It shows that the

electrolysis is surely working.

Even though there should be no problems with drinking the water, you need to clean the container.

Fill the water container with the diluted household vinegar and leave it for one hour. Then shake the container for cleaning.

How about cooking rice using the alkaline ionized water ?

Rice can be sticky depending on the

volume of water, kinds of rice and kinds of r

ice cooking appliance.

Use the water after setting the appropriate

stage of ionized water.

Which water would you recommend for the infants?

It is recommended that the infants are fed

low alkaline ionized water. (Alkaline ionized water Stage 1.) (See page 20.)

The red lamp is turned on at

Strong Alkaline

Stage 5

. Is it OK when we use the water for soaking out the puckery or bitter tastes of vegetables or washing them?

There should be no problems with using the water for soaking out the puckery or

bitter tastes of vegetables or washing

them.

Do not use the water for daily drinking.

When we get the alkaline ionized water in a cup, there are white bubbles. What are those bubbles?

The bubbles are generated because, while ions

are generated, the molecules of alkaline ionized water are so tiny and the dissolved hydrogen is

sufficiently available.

The bubbles can be generated highly right after

the installation, or the replacement of the filter.

There should be no problems using the product.

=> Open the water branch pipe and adjust the water flow

volume.

Is the electric cord appropriately inserted?

=> Insert the cord into the wall socket correctly.

Is the fuse cut off?

Check the fuse(Rated fuse 250V/3A)

After inserting the electric cord into the wall

socket, you need to check whether a

beeping

sound is generated when pushing the button

lightly.

=> The beeping sound means that there are no

problems with the fuse.

It is because of the bimetallic safety system for the overheating inside the system in case of long

hours of operation. When the temperature goes

down after the water supply control value is

turned off, you can turn on the valve for the use.

When the water supply control valve is turned off once after [Strong alkaline], [Acidic] and [Purified water] is used, the setting will be restored to the

previously set value of [Alkaline] automatically.

=> Not malfunctioning.

(Contact the sales shop or the main office when the

problem is not solved even after the widest opening of the water branch pipe)

Is the water flow volume too high?

=> Adjust by the water supply control valve.

Page 29

Symptoms Causes and actions

The outflow water volume is low or there is no outflow.

The life span of the filter can be shortened when it is blocked due to the sever pollution of the source water.

The water becomes warm when it flows through the main frame.

The pH of the acidic water is indicated as neutral.

Water leaks from the bottom of the main body.

No water comes out of the acidic water outlet while [Alkaline] or [Strong Alkaline] is used.

=> Replace the filter.

Is the filter wrongly fixed?

=> Fix it right.

Is the water supply suspended?

=> Wait until the water supply is resumed.

Is the hose bent or crushed?

=> Set it right.

When the water flows through initially, the

water can become warm due to the room temperature or the heat inside the main body.

=> Not malfunctioning. Use the water after let the

water flow through.

For about one week after the new filter is

installed, the pH value of the acidic water

may not fall into the range of the

colorimetry (Due to the effect of the activated carbon)

=> Not malfunctioning. Check again one

week later.

If the pH value of the acidic water is 6.5, the value may be not compatible with the samples of the pH measurement sheet.

Dew condensation can occur inside the

main body due to the conditions of temperature

and moisture.

=> Not malfunctioning.

Page 30

Symptoms Causes and actions

Water keeps [dripping] from the outlets (Especially the acidic water outlet) even after the water supply control valve is turned off.

When tested with the pH test solution, it is yellow for the acidic water, but in case of the alkaline water, the color becomes neutral momentarily.

Water smells disinfectants * Various causes can lead to the symptom. If the problem is not solved by replacing the filter, the water purification process needs to be selected to check the problem. When there is still nothing found about the problem, the items on the right side need to be checked.

The power is not turned off when the water supply control valve is turned off.

Water leakage at the water purifier. (Filter socket)

The remaining water inside the outset can

comes out

=> Not malfunctioning.

The rinsing operation is in progress.

=> Not malfunctioning.

(See page 18. )

It is due to the effect of the carbonic acid in the

water.

(Severe in case of the ground water)

=> Use the water after adjusting the stage of

the alkaline ionized water to Stage 5. Considering that the alkaline reaction and

the acidic reaction occur in an opposite way, so it is understood that the alkaline ionized water is generated also if there is acidic reaction taking place.

We can simply say that the symptom is the

result of the vaporization of the test solution

due to the chemical reaction involving the

carbonic acid in the water.

Check whether the storage container is cleaned.

=> Wash the storage container cleanly.

The life span of the filter can be shortened due

to pollution depending on the condition of the water supply.

=> Replace the filter (Refer to Page 18).

The ionized water has less crusts of water,

meaning that the water is highly active for reaction. Extremely low volume of impurities, when spread throughout the water, can cause the water to be activated together and, possibly, the water to smell.

=> Use the water by adjusting the alkaline level

down by 1~2 stages.

Check whether the acidic water hose is higher

than the main body.

=> Install the hose 50~70cm below the level

of the main body.

The system is malfunctioning.

=> After disconnecting the electric cord, you need

to contact the sales shop or the main office for requesting the repair work.

Check whether the filter is appropriately

fastened into the filter socket.

=> After checking the filter packing, you need

to fasten it to the filter base appropriately.
