You have just purchased the finest, most advanced water system in the world! Your new ionizer
is designed to provide you with many years of the cleanest, healthiest and most "functional" water
available. 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 Emco Tech Melody produces filtered alkaline, ionized water.
Just exactly what is that? Your ionizer 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 Emco Tech Melody also produces Acidic water. This type water is low in 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.

ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS
※WARNING: Please read these pages carefully.
They contain very important information to keep YOU and your new ionizer safe!
When using your Melody, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS
NEVER attempt to repair or service the unit yourself.
Attempting to do so will void your valuable warranty!
Contact your dealer to arrange service or repair.
If your ionizer becomes submerged in water, unplug the power cord from the wall before
removing the ionizer from the water. Failure to do so may cause electric shock!
NEVER touch the power cord or plug with wet hands
- this may result in electric shock!
Installation Precautions
Protect your ionizer from freezing temperatures.
Protect your ionizer from direct sunlight.
Do not put anything heavy on top of your ionizer.
Do not install your ionizer on an unstable or soft surface.
Install only on a hard and level surface.
Do not wash your ionizer by immersion or by pouring water over the main body;
always unplug your ionizer while cleaning the casing.
Clean with damp sponge or cloth.
Ensure the power plug is firmly and properly inserted into the outlet - failure to do so may result in
electric shock or fire!
Keep the power cord and your ionizer away from hot surfaces or appliances failure to do so may result in electric shock or fire!
Do not operate your ionizer with a damaged power cord or plug or insert into a faulty or worn outlet.
Never insert foreign objects into your ionizer.
Do not use your ionizer at voltages other than specified (AC 110V FOR USA).
Use a GFI outlet. Do not plug in your ionizer where it will exceed the rating of
outlet or electric wiring.
Failure to do so can result in fire, injury and/or damage to yourself, wiring
or ionizer!

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS
During Use
Do not run hot water through your ionizer.
Do not clean by pouring water over or spraying the ionizer.
Do not close, bend, pinch, press or otherwise obstruct
output ports or hoses.
If the appliance makes strange or unusual noises or burning
smells are detected, unplug the power cord immediately and
contact your dealer to arrange service.
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.

Maintenance Precautions
Common Sense Precautions
Always unplug your ionizer when changing the fuse or cleaning your ionizer
- failure to do so may result in electric shock.
Do not attempt to repair or service the unit yourself. Contact your dealer.
Attempting to do so will void your valuable warranty!
Make sure to use your ionizer only with potable water which is
suitable for human consumption.
DO NOT use your ionizer with well water, water with extreme hardness, high sediment or
TDS levels without first consulting your dealer.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an appliance grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
"WARNING - Improper connection of the appliance-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
a) The power-supply receptacle for the appliance shall be installed on a wall adjacent to the counter
space in which the appliance is to be installed;
b) Care shall be exercised, when the appliance is installed or removed, to reduce the likelihood of
damage to the supply cord.

Precautions for use of Alkaline water - don't develop a "drinking" problem!
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
and environmental damage and cleaning.
Please read these pages carefully. They contain very important information to keep YOU and your new ionizer safe!
pH Reagent Liquid Precautions
Do not expose the pH measuring reagent to extreme heat, flames
or fire. It is combustible.
Do not drink the pH reagent liquid, put it in the eyes or apply to the body.
- If the liquid is ingested, induce vomiting immediately and call
a doctor.
- 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.
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 carbonate bottles
(Nalgene 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.
(The sodium based softener needs to include potassium. Potassium chloride
when run through cell membrane electrolysis is an effective way of producing
chlorine and not good in our ionizers.)
