IMPORTANT NOTES:
 IF YOUR IONIZER IS WET - Some residual water may be present. Water
is run through every machine for quality control and testing purposes.
 WELL WATER - Before using any well water, it is critical that a water test
be done to ensure that your water is potable (safe for drinking). For
testing, please visit: www.alkaviva.net/professional-testing.php.
 UNDERSINK CONVERSION KIT - If you have ordered an Undersink
Conversion Kit, we recommend you USE A LICENSED AND BONDED
PLUMBER. Our Tech Support is available to help answer questions.
 HIRING A PLUMBER - If you do hire a professional to install your Ionizer,
we recommend that you email [email protected] at least 48
hours in advance to ensure a technician will be available during your
plumber’s visit. Our office hours are Monday—Friday, 8am—5pm,
(PST).
Attention: Any and all work done by a plumber or anyone else is at
owner’s sole discretion. Owner bears any and all risk associated with
such installation.
 WATER SOFTENER - Do not use an ionizer with a sodium or potassium-
based ion exchange softening system without first consulting with your
AlkaViva Associate or Technical Support.
 REMOVE THE FILM - The display on your unit comes with a removable
protective plastic film.
 DIVERTER VALVE - your ionizer may come with a different one than
used in the installation DVD. The installation is the same. To operate the
pull-out style diverter, simply pull the actuator pin with the water run-
ning.
Attention: Never push the pin back in to turn off the water. Simply
turn off the faucet and the diverter will automatically turn off at the
same time.
 CHECK FILTER(S) - The filter(s) may have come loose during shipment.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual and check your filter(s) prior to use.
For information on proper filter installation, watch:

 IRON CAUSES MAJOR DAMAGE - Orange stains in your plumbing
indicate iron in your water supply.

Adjusting the Volume on Your Melody Ionizer
The Melody manual says you can adjust the volume by

You can no longer do it this way. To adjust the volume on
your Melody, follow the directions outlined below.
1. Turn on the Power Switch located on the back of the Melody.
2. Hold the “Filtered” button down for 5 seconds until the menu for the volume
pops up.
3. Press the “Alkaline” button to raise the volume. (Each time it is pressed it will
raise one number until maximum at #6.)
4. Press the “Acidic” button to lower the volume. (Each time it is pressed it will
lower one number until minimum at #1.)
5. Press the “Melody” button to Save your settings.
For Athena & Melody Ionizers ONLY!
IMPORTANT! Pages #4 and #9 in both the Athena and Melody
manuals refer to the Flow Valve. This valve is no longer in-
cluded with these ionizers and your ionizer will not match this
photo.. This step is no longer needed.
Your ionizer no longer comes with 2 Calcium Inserts, but with
1Calcium Insert for Soft Water and 1 Scale Guard Insert for Hard Water to be
placed in Mineral Port.
