LIVING WATER USAGE AND SPECIFICATIONS
The Living Water is a water ionizer designed for
use on a counter top or other sturdy surface where
there is access to a COLD water supply, a drain,
and an electrical outlet. The water supply to the
water ionizer is attached to a sink faucet using a
faucet head diverter valve. The alkaline water is
delivered through the flexible steel hose on the
unit. The acidic water drain line (3/8” flexible
hose) from the water ionizer is placed in the sink.
The water ionizer power cord is plugged into an
appropriate electrical socket.
NOTE: Begin drinking alkaline water gradually
as it is detoxifying. For example, drink 16 oz.
of 8.5 pH water for several days, gradually
increasing the amount you consume to your
full daily amount of water. Increase one level
each week until you are drinking your full daily
amount of water at 9.5 pH.
Following this gradual procedure will minimize
unpleasant eects of detoxification, such as cold
or flu-like symptoms, headaches, rashes, diarrhea
and/or nausea. You may notice dierences in
bowel habits during the first days at each pH level.
Urination frequency may increase and color may
darken as more water is consumed and your body
detoxifies. Eventually the color decreases as your
body adjusts to the cleansing.
If detoxification symptoms become
uncomfortable, it is suggested that you decrease
to a lower level alkaline water until these
symptoms subside, then gradually build up to
higher pH levels.
We recommend drinking half your body weight in
ounces per day for hydration. One quart for every
30 pounds of body weight is better, and you can
increase further as you are able.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Failure to install
according to the User’s Manual and in
accordance with applicable city, state, and
local plumbing codes can result in leaks and/
or water damage and will void your warranty.
We expressly disclaim any liability for damage
caused by leaks and/or other water damage.
• The water ionizer MUST be plugged into a
grounded electrical outlet that is installed in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not
sure whether the electrical outlet you intend to use
is properly installed. Do not modify the electrical
power cord or plug provided with the water ionizer
and do not use any type of adapter. Improper
grounding can result in risk of electric shock as
well as damage to the water ionizer.
• Do not plug the water ionizer into an electrical
outlet that will result in exceeding the amperage
rating of the outlet or electrical wiring. This can
result in fire, personal injury, or damage to the
water ionizer.
• The water ionizer must operate in a dry location to
prevent risk of electrical shock and/or damage to
the unit.
• The water ionizer must operate on a FLAT, hard,
level surface.
NOTE: The installation information provided
may dier for your specific installation. Read the
installation section thoroughly before you begin
as additional installation parts may be required
beyond what is included. If you are unsure what
parts are required or how to make the physical
connections, it is strongly recommended you
contact a licensed plumber.
• Maximum static water pressure is 70 psi. Operating
the water ionizer above this pressure may cause
damage to the unit. For water pressure greater than
70 psi, use of a pressure regulator may be required.
• Connect the water ionizer ONLY to a COLD
water supply. Do not run hot water through the
unit. Damage will occur to filters and internal
components if HOT WATER is supplied to the water
ionizer.
• DO NOT DRINK THE WATER PRODUCED WHEN
THE WATER IONIZER IS IN ITS CLEANING CYCLE.
The cleaning cycle will automatically activate after
every 12 minutes of use. This feature keeps minerals
from building up on the electrodes.
• Use the FILTERED (7.0) setting when taking
medications. Alkaline water will increase the
potency of many medications. Check with your
physician to make sure prescribed medications for
existing conditions will not be adversely aected by
drinking alkaline water on a daily basis.
SOURCE WATER QUALITY
The quality and content of the source water
provided to the water ionizer has a direct aect
on the quality of the ionized water produced. This
is true of ANY water ionizer. Tap water provided
by municipal water companies typically has a
pH value between 7.1 and 7.3, and a moderate
water hardness of between 80 and 140 parts per
million (these numbers can be determined using
a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter). Such water
6
will generally result in the production of high
quality ionized water. Water supplied from other
sources may vary considerably in quality and
content. Water with excess sediment (typical
of well water) generally requires a sediment
prefilter.Your Vollara Independent Business
Owner can help you decide if additional water
conditioning is required and may suggest a
solution which can then be ordered.
