Attempting to do so will void your valuable
warranty!
NEVER touch the power cord or plug with
wet hands.
- this may result in electric shock!
Ensure the power plug is firmly and
properly inserted into the outlet.
- failure to do so may result in electric
shock or fire!
Protect your ionizer from freezing temperatures.
Protect your ionizer from direct sunlight.
Do not use your ionizer at voltages other than
specified.
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!
Do not run hot water through your ionizer.
Do not clean by pouring water over or spraying
the ionizer.

If the appliance makes strange or unusual noises
pH Reagent Liquid Precautions
Some helpful tips
or burning smells are detected, unplug the power
cord immediately and contact your dealer to
arrange service.
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.
Do not close, bend, pinch, press or otherwise
obstruct output ports or hoses.
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-today 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
with your dealer.

Caution
It is better to use UF(Combined hollow fiber membrane) filter initially, with power off,
after making water of 20ℓ(1㎏f/㎠) flow for approx. 5 minutes at minimum without fail,
in order to eliminate hydrophilic substance.
(If water pressure is below 1㎏f/㎠, a time longer than 5 minutes is needed)
Recommended period for changing filter
Effective period of use of filter may differ greatly depending on season and usage
environment (quality and pressure of water and amount of use)
Reference
Change filter when follow phenomena occur even filter change icon does not flicker.
- When water flows little because filter is blocked due to heavily contaminated water
- When water smells because seriously contaminated water is flowed in
- When lots of foreign substance in water (turbid water, invisible substance) is eliminated in a short time
- When reusing it after you do not use it for a long time

Trouble Shooting Guide
ResolutionCause(s) Abnormal condition
The Function Display
Panel does not come on.
pH test shows alkaline water
color as neutral (7) while
acidic water color gets
yellow (6). This is normal
if initial pH is 6.5
Power supply is suddenly
cut off while operating the
unit.
A power plug is not properly
inserted, or it is inserted into a
faulty outlet.
The fuse is blown.
The fuse is not inserted properly.
Faulty or evaporated reagent:
alkaline / acidity are always
produced in inverse proportion.
Therefore, showing an acidic
color means inversely that alkaline
water has to be generated from
the unit.
Lack of alkaline color can result
from a chemical reaction where
carbonic acid in water evaporates
some test reagent elements.
Elevated level of salt in the
water or high TDS; extended
operation at high pH;
sudden change in electrical
current. In these cases your
machine will shut down
automatically to protect the
electrodes and circuitry.
Properly insert power plug into
a correctly functioning power
outlet
Replace the fuse. A spare fuse is
located in the rear-panel fuse
holder. (3A / 250V fuse)
Test pH value on level
3 or 4 water;
replace reagent.
Wait - the unit will become
operational again after about
one hour. Your Machine has a
safety mechanism built-in to
protect the electrodes and
circuitry. This mechanism will
shut the Machine down
automatically. This mechanism
protects the unit from overuse
or excessive electric current.
Low output of alkaline water
from the unit.

Filter is clogged. Premature
clogging may be caused by
sudden drop in water quality and
an influx of sediment or other
contaminants, which stress
the filter.
Low pressure in your household
plumbing.
The input hose is bent, kinked or
otherwise restricted.
Replace your filter.
Clean Pre-filter
Ensure water supply valves are
fully open. The water pressure
