Quick Connect Tips
collet
Familiarize yourself with ‘Quick Connect’
connection. These are special patented
connection tools that allow ultra-simple
connectionoftubes.Toattachatube,allyou
needtodoispushthetubeintothetting.
To remove, all you need do is push on the collet
(ring)aroundthetubeusingtheQuickConnect
Spanner(oryourngernails),thenpullonthe
tubetoremoveit.
It’simportanttoensuretheendofthetubeiscut
cleanly and at right angles.

We strongly encourage you to read the manual carefully and
keep a copy of this manual for future reference.
AlkaWay is not liable nor responsible for any damage resulting from user
installation contrary to instructions in this manual.
Important Information
Molecular Hydrogen Production ‘The Drip’
Your UltraStream may initially drip or spurt for short time after install. This is the
resultofthemolecularhydrogenbeingcreatedbyourspecialO-Dobialkalizingmediaas
it reacts with water in your UltraStream. This is part of the normal settling in process.
If you decide that you cannot handle the initial dripping before installing the
UltraStream, you can return your unused unit. (Only valid within 30 days of purchase.
Must be in new condition).
The UltraStream Filter Life
WetestedtheUltraStreaminauniversitylaboratoryupto3600litres(950gallons).Under
typical municipal water quality standards, this is more than enough for a family of four
whoeachconsume2litresperday.Weadvisechangingthelterafter3,000litres(or800
gallons)or12months,whichevercomesrst.
Warranty
A3-YearwarrantyisprovidedbyAlkaWayAustralia.
Wecannotguarantee12monthsor3000litres(800gallons)lterlife.Allwaterltersare
dependent upon the quality of your source water and will fail if excessive contaminants
andsedimententerthelter(Unlessthereisamanufacturerdefect).
When installing your UltraStream, please remain in compliance with this manual to
maintain your warranty.
You must use a vented faucet for all undersink installations. Failure to do so will void
your warranty.
This warranty does not apply to any commercial or industrial installations or to any part of
thewaterconditionerwhichhasbeensubjectedtomisuse,neglect,alterationoraccident;
ortoanydamagecausedbyre,ood,freezing,ActsofGod,oranyothercasualty.
Safety Tips
DonotrunhotwaterthroughyourUltraStream.
UltraStreamisnotdesignedforusebyyoungchildrenwithoutresponsibleadult
supervision.
UltraStream is constructed of EPA approved BPA-free plastics. All media and materials
used are US and EU approved.
Detox Effects
Some new drinkers to UltraStream water may experience a range of detox like symptoms.
Mostcommonarebodyaches,headaches,fogginessorskinconditions.Ifsymptoms
persist contact your medical practitioner as drinking UltraStream water is perfectly safe
and should have no long term adverse effects.
Onceyoubecomearegulardrinkeryoumayexperienceawiderangeofpositiveeffects.

Troubleshooting
Slow or No Water Flow
• Checktheblue/whitetapunderthebaseoftheUltraStream.Adjustthe
bluetapsothatitisin-linewiththeinlethose(thefullyopenposition).
• Doyouhaveanypre-ltersattached?Ifso,removethehosefromthe
bottomoftheUltraStreamandmakesureyouaregettingwaterow.
• Make sure the hoses aren’t kinked or twisted.
• If your UltraStream is slowlyreducinginow,itmaybethatitisnearingits
end of use.
• Yourltermightbeblockedandneedstobereplaced(highsediment
watermayrequireaspecialsedimentpre-ltertopreserveyour
UltraStreamlter’slife).
Leaking Water From Connectors
• RemovetotubefortheQuickConnectconnectorandre-cutends.
• TrypushingthetubefurtherintoQuickConnecttting(seehandytips
page3).
UltraStream Spurts
• Thisisduetothehydrogeninfusedinthewater.Thiswateristhebestto
drink.
Dripping UltraStream
• Whenwaterisincontactwiththeltermediaitcreatesmolecular
hydrogen in the water. Some hydrogen will leave the water as a gas
whenthelterisnotinuse,andthisgasmaypushalittlewateroutof
the UltraStream, producing a drip. This drip will usually slow down and
stopwithinacoupleofweeks.Rememberthisisnotaleak,itissimplyan
effect of excess molecular hydrogen production.
Leaking From the UltraStream Faucet
• Overtimeandrepeateduse,thefaucet’sinternalmechanismmay
becomeloose.Thereisasimplex.Visitoursupportpageforavideoon
howitisdonewww.alkaway.com.au/support/.
No pH Reading
• YouneedtouseliquidpHReagentsimilartowhatwassuppliedwithyour
UltraStream. pH strips or Litmus paper will not give you a correct reading.
• pHReagentmightbeoutofdateorstoredincorrectly.
• Itmightbetimetoreplaceyourlter.
