Installation Instructions for LIFE Ionizer
TM
7600
Use Cold Water Only With Your Ionizer
STEP 1: Unscrew the existing aerator from your faucet.
STEP 2: Use teon plumbers tape on the threads. Screw the LIFE
IonizerTM diverter valve onto your faucet. Three dierent sized adaptors are included for non-standard sized faucets.
STEP 3: Unscrew the round nut from the side of the diverter valve. Slide the nut over the end of the 1/4” tubing and then screw the nut back onto the diverter valve. Tubing should now t snugly onto the diverter valve.
STEP 4: Lay the ionizer down on its back and you will see two white elbows extruding from the bottom of the machine. There will be an o-white collar around the base of the elbow. Depress the collar towards the machine while simultaneously extracting the elbow from the machine. Now, holding the elbow in your hands, you’ll see a similar collar near the end of the elbow. In the same way as you extracted the elbow, you can depress the collar towards the elbow and extract the plug from the end of the elbow. It is sometimes helpful to use the back of a butter knife or screw driver to remove the plug. If you ever need to remove the tubing from the quick release, you will use the same process.
STEP 5: Run tubing from the diverter valve to the inlet valve on the bottom of the ionizer. Be sure to push the tubing into the quick connect valve 3/4” until it is rmly seated.
STEP 6: Insert one end of tubing into outlet valve on bottom of unit and run the other end into the sink securing it with the suction cup provided. Some units may contain water. Don’t be alarmed; we test units for quality before shipment!

anode cathode
With electrolyzed water, the cathode (-) produces Alkaline Ionized Water with minerals (pH scope 7.5~10) - such as Ca, K, Mg, Na, etc. because of the hydroxyl ion (OH-) generating reaction. The anode (+) has lots of hydrogen (H+) (pH scope 3.5~6.5) because the oxygen gas (O2) generates a reaction and acid ion water has many ions such as Cl, S, P. The Ionized Alkaline Water and acid ion water made by an electrolytic reduction water generator, has characteristics like those below.

LIFE MESH TechnologyTM – Our MESH technology is designed
so the water moves in and out of the plates thus creating more contact time and better electrolysis. This translates into a higher pH and better ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential = Antioxidant). Better machine = Better results.
Power System- Combine MESH Technology with our new advanced SMPS Power System (the same system used in High Denition Televisions) and your LIFE Ionizer
TM
will outperform any other model. Some systems attempt to convince you that bigger plates are better. The best results (high pH & ORP) are from a combination of the plates and the power provided. The LIFE IonizerTM has a Power 5 Amperage SystemTM that delivers up to 208 watts of power. More Power = Better Results. Your system will also run more eciently providing more consistent power and will last much longer.
UV Light System- We have recently introduced LIFE UV Light TechnologyTM as an optional feature on our Life Ionizers. UV light dissipates bacteria as the water passes around the secure light inside the unit. This helps to further the ltration eects on public water supplies. Major municipal water sources such as New York City and Orange County, CA currently use UV light technology as added treatment to disinfect their water.

Many locations have excessive mineral content in the source water that can build up inside the ionizer over time and cause blockage. A routine acidic cleaning of the ionizer chamber can help maximize the life and performance of your ionizer by reducing the build up of these harmful minerals.
In areas with heavy mineral content, this is recommended once a week. It is also recommended to do this procedure in the evening as it takes several hours to be eective.
• Run the ionizer on acid level 2 for one minute.
• Turn o the source water to the ionizer.
• Let the water “soak” in the chamber overnight (several hours).
• Run the unit again on acid level 2 to rinse the minerals from
the machine.
• Return the unit to normal operation.

Q: What should I expect from drinking Ionized Alkaline Water?
A: This will inially depend on what level of strength you begin drinking Ionized Alkaline Water. Ionized Water provides your body with lots of oxygen, which is why it gives us energy. Ionized Water is much smoother tasng than convenonal water. It makes beer coee, tea, juice, etc. Ionized Alkaline Water is wonderful to cook with because it helps hydrate the food and bring out its avor. However, other changes in your body will be much more subtle. If you have accumulated acid waste in your system, it probably took years for you to get into that condion and it will take some me to reverse it. As the body is slowly brought into pH balance by drinking Ionized Water, it will naturally begin to funcon more eciently and problems will begin to correct themselves.
Q: Who should drink Ionized Alkaline Water?
A: People, pets and animals will all noce benets from drinking Ionized Alkaline Water.
Q: Is there anyone who should not drink Ionized Alkaline Water?
A: Some people must start by drinking very small amounts of Ionized Alkaline Water, such as 8 oz. of strength level 1 (one) per day. This is especially true of the elderly who oen have unfortunately allowed heavy metals and other toxins to accumulate in their bodies. Somemes years of medicaon has accumulated in them as well. Children 3 years and younger should not drink Ionized Alkaline Water. They may only drink the puried water from the Ionizer. Children between the ages of 4 years and 12 years should only drink Ionize Ionized Alkaline Water at strength level 1 (one)

35
and strength level 2 (two). Children between the ages of 4 and 12 years of age should never drink Ionized Alkaline Water at strength level 3 (three) or strength level 4 (four).
Q: Should I take medication or supplements with Ionize Ionized Alkaline Water?
A: You should not drink Ionize Ionized Alkaline Water 45 minutes to 1 hour before or aer taking medicaon or supplements. Use puried water or another liquid or water source.
Q: Can a person become too Alkaline from drinking Ionized Alkaline Water?
A: People have been known to drink as much as 1 to 2 gallons of Ionized Water every day with great benet. Conversely, one of the most common imbalances people have today is that they are too acidic. Our body’s pH should be approximately 7.2 (measured through saliva or urine). It is rare for a person to acquire Alkalosis, the condion of being too Alkaline. We should always drink Ionized Alkaline Water and eat Alkaline Foods such as fruits and vegetables.
Q: How much water should I drink and at what level?
A: At a minimum, you should drink half your body weight in ounces per day. For example, a person weighing 100 pounds should drink 50 ounces. You should start slow at strength Level 1 (one), drinking 1-3 glasses per day for the rst week. You may increase the number of glasses per day during the rst week if you do not noce any side eects. If you do not feel any u-like symptoms at the end of the rst week, move up to strength Level 2 (two). On strength Level 2 (two), drink 1-3 glasses per day for the rst week. You may increase the number of glasses per day during the rst week if you’re feeling good. On average, two to three weeks per level; work your way up to a 10.5 pH (strength Level 4 (four). The higher the strength level of Ionized Water you can drink, the

beer it is for you because the water is more Alkaline, more Detoxifying, and a stronger Anoxidant that provides your body with more Oxygen.
Q: When will I begin noticing the health benets?
A: It varies from person to person. You might start nocing a posive response in as lile as one day or within a few weeks.
Q: Why do some people have u like symptoms when rst drinking Ionized Alkaline Water?
A: If you start drinking Ionized Alkaline Water at to high strength level (high pH level) then you might noce u like symptoms. The Ionizaon process creates water molecule clusters that are half the size of regular water molecule clusters. This is why Ionized Alkaline Water is somemes referred to as “reduced water” because it has become reduced in size from a 12 water molecule cluster to 6 water molecule cluster. This makes the water much more hydrang because it ows through our body ssue more easily, thus pushing toxins out of our system. It is this detoxifying eect that somemes gives people headaches and diarrhea and why there are 4 levels of strength.
Q: How does Ionized Alkaline Water affect athletes?
A: In an extremely posive way, as you might expect. Blood oxygen levels will rise at varying amounts with regular use of strong Ionized Water. This increases stamina, endurance and provides the muscles ssue and organs with high amounts of oxygen, which the human body oen lacks, even in athletes because inadequate diets. Proper hydraon sustains the body’s physiological responses in all acvies, but the physical and mental stresses of athlec training and compeon magnify the importance of hydraon. Numerous studies conducted on athletes since the 1940s have demonstrated that even mild dehydraon impairs performance. Current

thought is that athletes consuming a tradional Western diet have consumed an abundance of salt, so there is no need to replace salt when exercise last less than two hours. Water that has been alkalinized may help neutralize the exercise induced acidosis (lacc acid build up), since the pH of Ionized Alkaline Water is high. Ionized water may help act as a free­radical scavenger to address the issue of accelerated oxygen consumpon. Ionized water is micro-clustered, so it may be absorbed at a faster rate, helping with rehydraon. Dr. Peter L. Kopko, D.C., recommends drinking 13 to 20 ounces (2-3 cups) of water 2 hours before exercise and 5 to 10 ounces (about 1-2 cups) every 15 to 20 minutes of exercise, depending on your total body weight.
Q: How long does Ionized Alkaline Water stay Ionized?
A: The Anoxidant (hydroxyl ions) will last approximately 18-24 hours. The Higher pH (Alkaline properes) will last approximately 1-2 weeks. The smaller molecule cluster size will last approximately 1-3 months. Does Ionized Alkaline Water have any negave eects? Absolutely none, as long as it is used properly. Only the Ionized Alkaline Water should be consumed. NEVER DRINK THE ACIDIC WATER.
Q: Should Pregnant Women Drink Alkaline Water?
A: We at Life Ionizers are oen asked the queson as to whether alkaline, ionized water should be consumed by a pregnant or lactang woman. We believe the prudent approach is to exclude alkaline, ionized water throughout pregnancy and breast feeding. It is our understanding that due to the increased absorpon of water-hydrated caons, like potassium and calcium, coupled with the increased concentraon of the same caons created on the alkaline side of electrolysis, creates a too highly concentrated electrolyte soluon for a developing fetus and breast-feeding infant. Switch to the puried mode during pregnancy and unl breast­feeding is concluded.

Q: How does a water ionizer work?
A: Our counter top Alkaline LIFE Ionizer
TM
7600 can be directly connected to a diverter valve at the end of your faucet. Connecng directly to your faucet takes about 10-15 minutes and enables your water ionizer to use a two step process. The rst task is to help lter out harmful components of the water with our built-in dual lter system, which removes chlorine, trihalomethanes, phenols, sediment, odor, taste, and organic waste. The LIFE IonizerTM achieves this by using mul-stage lters. Then the ltered water passes into a patented chamber equipped with planum-coated tanium plates. Next, an electrical charge is introduced into this water. This is where the electrolysis takes place. The water is separated into two streams (acid and Alkaline) of Ionized water. The acid water (oxidized) makes up about 30% of the water and the Ionized Alkaline Water 70%. The reduced Ionized Alkaline Water comes out of the faucet, which you use for drinking or cooking. The acid (oxidized) water comes out of a separate hose leading into the sink. The oxidaon potenal of the acid water makes it a good sterilizing agent, ideal for washing your hands, cleaning food or kitchen utensils, and treang minor wounds and eczema. Caons, posively charged ions gather at the negave electrode to create Ionized Alkaline Water, which concentrates available Alkaline minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and potassium from the source water. Anions, negavely charged ions gather at the posive electrode to make acid or oxidized water, which concentrates acid minerals such as nitrates, suldes, chlorides, and uorides from the source water. Remember in chemistry class, opposites aract. A range of pH sengs from neutral to very Alkaline or very acid is available at the touch of a buon. The electrodes are cleaned in an automac cleaning cycle or you can also
75
7600/8100/8200

39
run a manual cleaning cycle. The electrolysis process breaks the molecular bonding of water molecules and restructures the water clusters from usual groups of 12 or so down to about 5 or 6 molecules per water cluster. “Clustered” water is typically characterized by smaller groups of molecules, lower surface tensions and thus can more easily penetrate the cellular membrane. This clean, healthy, Alkaline Ionized Water is drawn for drinking and cooking through the main stainless steel spout.
Q: How do I know when the lter needs replacing?
A: An LED or counter indicator on the front panel gives an indicaon of remaining lter life. Generally the 1st lter
will last for about 8 months, the 2nd lter for about 12 months (when 2.5 gallons of water is produced per day),
but this depends on the source of water and the amount of use. For example, if your tap water contains between
0.4 and 1.0 ppm (parts per million) of chlorine, a lter can last 12 months for one person’s use. If greater than
1.0 ppm, the lter may last 8 months. A family of four on a typical North American water supply will replace the 1
st
lter about every 8 months. By changing your lters at regular intervals, you are assured of the inner hygiene of the lter.
Q: Where is the serial number located?
A: On the back of the ionizer, you will see a bar code scker. The serial number is located below the bar code.

Q: What should be done if the machine is not to be used for 7 days or more?
A: Remove the lter from the main body, wrap in plasc wrapping, and store in a refrigerator. Remove the power plug. When ready to use again, install the lter and run in the Ionizer in the ‘PURFIED’ mode for approx. 3 minutes before using the water.
Q: What does it mean when water ows through the
main body and it becomes warm?
A: At the start of water ow, warm water may ow out due to room temperature or heat from the main body during stoppage. This is not a malfuncon. Use the machine aer starng water ow.
Q: There are white substances on the bottom of my Alkaline Ionized water storage container. What are these?
A: This phenomenon is caused by the calcium mineral substances in Alkaline Ionized water. Parcularly, if the carboxyl group (CO3) is present, it will bind to the calcium carbonate (Ca CO3), creang such substances. This is apparent evidence of electrolysis. Although it is safe to drink, wash the container - add one spoon of edible vinegar and water to the container, leave the container for approximately 1 hour, and wash the container.
Q: How do I reset the lter counter?
A: When replacing the lter while on the main menu, press the “1ST FILTER” or “2ND FILTER” buon and hold for 5 sec. This resets the lter counter to 0000. The lter count goes to 9999.

Q: What is hard water?
A: According to the U.S. Geological Survey, more than 85 percent of the United States geography has hard water. Hard water forms when naturally occurring minerals enter water sources. Over me these minerals are absorbed by groundwater. The two most common types of minerals found in hard water are calcium and magnesium compounds. The Water Quality Associaon of the United States denes hard water as water containing dissolved hardness minerals above 1 GPG (grains per gallon). The most common hardness causing minerals are Calcium and Magnesium. Levels of hardness are classied as follows:
So Water - less than 1 GPG, Slightly hard - 1 to 3.5 GPG Moderately hard - 3.5 to 7 GPG Hard - 7 to 10.5 GPG Very Hard - 10.5 and higher GPG
Q: How do I adjust the voice volume on my water Ionizer?

Q: Why do I want to adjust the amperage on my Water Ionizer?
A: As you know, all water sources are not created equal. Your water source plays an important role on how your water Ionizer creates Ionized Alkaline Water. Being able to adjust the amperage will allow you to nd the opmum pH for the best producon of Alkaline Ionized water based on your water source.
Q: How do I adjust the amperage on my water Ionizer?
A: Model 7600, The “Funcon” buon on the top of the unit changes the choices from the main menu. Press the “Funcon” buon on to the top of the unit two mes to get into the amperage menu; you will see on the display panel in ‘white’ leers “Fn2”. Press the “1
st
Filter” buon located on the top of
the unit to lower the amperage. Press the “2
nd
Filter” buon located on the top of the unit to increase the volume. Pressing either of the “Filter” buons mulple mes will increase or decrease the amperage.
Q: Do I need to hire a plumber to install the units?
A: Most people nd it is not necessary to call a plumber for most standard installaons. For custom installaons, a plumber may be needed depending on the individual circumstances.
Q: What do I do if the lters are leaking?
A: It is important to note where on the lter it is leaking. Most leaking comes from ngs that are not seated properly. Reseat the tubing into the lter by pushing in rmly and then pulling back. It may be necessary to re-trim the end of the tubing to get a fresh surface. Make sure to shut o the water before working with the water supply lines.

Q: How do I set up the pre-lter unit?
A: The pre-lter is installed in the supply line on the ionizer. Quick connects are provided for your convenience. Simply push the tubing in the connector and it seals automacally. When installing the lter for the rst me, it is suggested to let the lter ll with water for a few minutes before turning on the ionizer.
Q: How do I know what pre-lter I need?
A: A water report is necessary to determine what type of lter is needed. Most municipal water districts have water reports free of charge on the internet. Well water may need to be tested by an independent water tesng company. If you can not nd a water report for the area the necessary informaon, please contact your sales representave.
