Emco Tech Delphi IO400U Owner's Manual

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW PURCHASE!

1 2

You have just purchased the finest, most advanced water system in the world!
Your new Delphi undersink ionizer is designed to provide you with many years of the cleanest,
healthiest and most "functional" water available.

Your new Delphi undersink is the only fully remote faucet that allows you to get both alkaline and
acidic water at the sink. There are many specific uses and benefits of this amazing water, so read
this manual carefully to learn how to get both optimum performance out of your ionizer and to protect
your investment.

Your new Delphi undersink produces filtered alkaline, ionized water.
Just exactly what is that? The Delphi undersink employs computer accurate and selectable magnetic
energy to perform electrolysis through patented platinum bonded titanium electrodes inside a water cell.
Inside this advanced cell, the magnetic energy separates the water into an alkaline (high pH) and
acid (low pH) stream without using any chemicals. Ionizing the water in this way re-structures the
molecules and reduces their cluster size, binds extra oxygen molecules, and concentrates ionized,
absorbable and beneficial minerals like Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium.

Your new Delphi undersink also produces Acidic water.
This type of water has a low pH (less than pH6) and has many excellent uses.
You will now have the convenience and benefits of water that "functions" in many ways that ordinary tap,
filtered or bottled water cannot.

Safety Precautions

Warning

Caution

Property damage, serious injury or death may result if these instructions and precautions
are not observed.

Physical injuries or material damage may be caused if the instructions are not observed.

Do's and Dont's

DO NOT

DO

Do not disassemble it.

Disconnect the power cord from
the wall outlet while using.

Do not touch it.

Ground product for protection from
electric shock.

After the adjustment period you can drink the water at this next level.
This level is also great for cooking rice and other grains

- fluffier and great tasting!

Alkaline/acidic electrolyzed-reduced water is "functional water".
This water is first filtered then transformed through electrolysis to be higher in pH, hydrate more
effectively, be highly oxygenated and act as a strong antioxidant.

Some people like this for drinking though it can start to taste strong
It is superb for making tea or coffee as it enhances the taste and reduces
bitterness!

Generally most people find this very strong tasting and with powerful
detoxifying effects.
Great for boiling vegetables! Alkaline water will eliminate the bitter taste
and brings out more of their natural color.

What is alkaline electrolyzed-reduced water?

Some uses for the different levels of Alkaline water

The Acid water has both antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
It also has an astringent effect and can be used for cosmetic purposes.

For initial consumption period
(4-7 days). Let your body adjust slowly to the increase in pH.
Many people find that this lower level is actually perfect for them.

What would I use the Filtered water for?

The pH of Purified water is neither raised nor lowered and would be the
same as your tap water.
This water is simply cleaned of impurities by the advanced filtration system.
You can use it both as drinking water and to take medications with.

Some uses for the different levels of Acidic water

Precautions for use of Alkaline water - don't develop a "drinking" problem!

Use it while brushing your teeth,
gargle with it and use it as a
natural mouth wash!

It is an excellent astringent;
use it for washing your face or
as a natural after shave.

In the kitchen use it to help
clean kitchen utensils.

This setting has sterilizing
properties - use it to sterilize
cutting boards,
dish towels etc…

If you have never consumed alkaline water - do not use a setting higher than 1 to begin with.
Let your body adjust slowly and naturally for 4-7 days. After this initial adjustment period, you
can gradually increase the alkalinity of the water.
Do not take medications with alkaline water. Take medications only with purified water.
Consult with a physician before drinking alkaline water if you have:

- Chronic disease

- A dysfunctional liver or intestines

- Are currently under medical treatment

Do not drink alkaline water if you have achlorhydria.
Consult a physician before using acidic water if you have:

- Sensitive skin

- Allergies

Only use potable drinking water in your ionizer.
Poor water quality may have negative effects on your health and your ionizer! Most municipal
water sources will be fine in your ionizer.
Well water and water from smaller systems should be checked, and may require pre-filtering.
Your ionizer is not under warranty for any damage or required cleaning caused by hard water
deposits.

Please read these pages carefully. They contain very important information to keep YOU and your new ionizer safe!

You remove the filter cover and the spring-loaded filter housing makes it a
snap to replace your filter. MAKE SURE NOT TO THROW AWAY THE FILTER

- If the liquid gets in the eyes, flush immediately and thoroughly
with cool water; call a doctor.

- If spilled or dropped on your body, wash if off immediately.

Make sure to keep the pH reagent liquid tightly closed and out of the reach of children.

Acidic water is effective for washing and rinsing.
In order to clean the product's internal parts and in order to drink clean water, acidic water should
be run through the alkaline water tube 2 or 3 times per week and the faucet pipe should be cleaned
as well.

Some helpful tips

For storing your alkaline water, glass or ceramic is best. Always try and
keep your stored water cool and away from direct sunlight.
You can use plastic, but only use lexan (number7) or poly bottles
(Nalge type). It is always best fresh out of the machine and ideal
if consumed on a day-to-day basis.

Do not store alkaline water in stainless steel, bronze or
aluminum containers.

Save the box and Styrofoam your ionizer came packed in.
This will help if your ionizer needs to be transported at a later date.

Do not use an ionizer downstream of a sodium-based ion exchange
softening system or Reverse Osmosis system without first consulting
your dealer.

Unplug your ionizer if you plan not to use it for an extended
period or turn off the main power switch on the back of the
unit. Filter replacement may be necessary.
