3 - Purpose
The AquaVolta Water Tractor is a multifunctional water filter
with two high performance filters, two big, independent
electrolysis cells and an electrochemical dosage unit.
With that it clearly offers more options than a normal water
ionizer for the household. This also makes it suitable for
professional purposes, for example for doctors, naturopaths,
in gastronomy, agriculture and with further uses for high
sanitary requirements.
The increase of options is made possible by the supply of
salt water from a Sole-Tank, something known from the
greatly distributed Kangen®water devices made by the
company Enagic®.
With help from the experienced producers Ionia®in Seoul,
Korea, was the Munich company Aquacentrum and
AquaVolta®successful in developing a more efficient device
that complies with all European conditions, which due to
usually very high water hardnesses demands special
technological requirements.
Because of the strict separation of electric and
electrochemical units and to protect the consumer and to
increase the durability of the appliance, has a bigger device
been designed than the distributed Kangen® - water devices.
For the IONIA®design fulfils European tastes better. The
AquaVolta Water Tractor®fits very well into a designer kitchen.

4 - Multifunctionality
*The values presented in this instruction booklet refer to tap water in
a European metropolis with over 1 million inhabitants. Depending on
the regional water composition or with a chosen water flow can the
measured values differ.
•Removal of residual pollutants in tap water with
an effective combination of an activated carbon
filter and a hollow fibre membrane filter.
•Production of light alkaline, hydrogen saturated
electrolyte water (activated water) for daily
drinking. Has a pH value of 8,5 - 9,5* and a
hydrogen content from 1,2 to 1,4 ppm*.
•Production of alkaline, hydrogen saturated
activated water pH 9,6 - 11 with a hydrogen
content of 1,5 to 1,8 ppm to refresh foods by
soaking and spraying them, to mix with juices,
concentrates, powder nourishment and cosmetics,
for cooking and hot drinks.
•Production of light acidic, oxygen saturated
electrolyte water (activated water/beauty water)
for skincare and haircare, for pets and mild plant
care with a pH value of 4,5 to 6,5.
•Production of pH neutral hydrogenated and
oxygenated electrolyte water (HRW “Hydrogen
Rich Water”) for daily consumption with a pH
value of 6,5 to 8,4 and a hydrogen content up to
0,8 ppm.
•Production of strong alkaline, hydrogen saturated
electrolyte water (catholyte, hydrogen content
1,6 ppm) for cleaning purposes and an enrichment
of hydrogen on aged foods with a pH value from
10 - 12.8
•Production of strong acidic, oxygen and active
chlorine electrolyte water (anolyte) for hygiene
purposes, for disinfection and crop protection
with a pH value of 2,4 - 3.
•Production of pH neutral hygiene water (neutral
anolyte) which is skin friendly and has a sufficient
amount of active chlorine for disinfecting
purposes.

➢Intelligent separation: The 7 electrode cell engages itself with the production
of drinking water - The separate 5 electrode cell produces function water.
➢Computer and sensor controlled electrolysis system to operate as !
a drinking - and function - water ionizer
➢Water flow control with a sturdy turn dial
➢Multilingual voice prompter for operating guidance when drawing water and
during the automatic self-cleaning process
➢Automatic interval control for changing both high performance filters
5 - Features

➢Despite professional, multifunctional usage possibilities: a modern design,
even for the aesthetically sophisticated kitchen
➢The colour changing LCD display indicates the current operating mode
➢The finely tuned double filter system before the electrolysis cell removes
99,99% of most pollutants in the drinking water. At the push of a button can
filtered water also be obtained which has not been treated electrolytically.
➢The modern SMPS power supply consumes less electricity compared to the
older transformer technology and runs permanently stable. No
electromagnetic “smog” occurs which could affect the water negatively.
6 - Features / 2

➢2 independent electrolysis cells with 12 completely
newly developed 3-layer electrodes which are much
more efficient than the usual platinum galvanised or
baked electrodes. They allow the separate production of
activated water for drinking and function water types
such as: acidic water, anolyte, neutral anolyte and
catholyte.
➢With this polymer ion mesh method is a clearly stronger
coarseness and denser platinum surface made
compared to the previous galvanising methods. Most
layer gaps show this, which can be clearly seen in the
microscopic images.
7 – Revolutionary electrodes
Our plates are covered entirely
in platinum with a spray
The plate is flat. So the surface area small.
Also, not enough platinum to cover the plate.

➢Operate the device only when you have read the
instruction booklet and have understood it.
➢Only operate the device with 220 Volt.
➢The device has a 5 Amp fuse. Other fuses can lead
to explosions or destruction of the device.
➢Please ensure that children do not have access to
the device.
➢Never place the device under water. A moist cloth
is enough for cleaning it.
➢Never let the device fall.
➢Always try to use cold water (under 30° C)
➢Do not place the device in direct sunlight or
subject it to temperatures over 50 degrees Celsius.
➢Never place the device in moist or polluted, dirty
rooms.
➢Do not place your device outdoors
➢To produce function water, only use pure common
salt (NaCl) without additives.
➢Only use water of the best drinking quality if you
want to drink the water afterwards.
➢Do not use metal or semimetal containers for
storing acidic activated water, or for anolyte or
neutral anolyte water. You could get oxidised
because of that.
➢Only clean the device with a wet cloth or a
microfibre cloth.
8 - General safety instructions

Water contains more or fewer dissolved particles, for example minerals which can be measured in PPM-particles
per million as a TDS conductance (Total Dissolved Solids). Example: Aachen tap water 160 ppm, Munich 246
ppm, Berlin Kreuzberg 375 ppm, Würzburg 820 ppm. The TDS limit of the drinking water ordinance in Germany
lies at 1785 ppm. Very different to central Europe, where the average values of 500 ppm prevail, is in the
countries that produce water ionizers, Korea and Japan, where the average values are under 100 ppm. There
the following applies:
oSoft water: up to 17 ppm
oSlightly hard water: 17,1 – 60 ppm
oMedium hard water: 60,1 – 120 ppm
oHard water: 120,1 – 180 ppm
oVery hard water: Over 180 ppm
The more dissolved particles a water ionizer has to treat, the more efficient and powerful it has to be. Since all
water ionizers from the Far East are designed for relatively mineral poor water, must the manufacturers’
instructions be viewed in relation to the reachable pH values, ORP and water contents (these are the
parameters of activated water). Figuratively speaking, a water ionizer in Central Europe has to mostly be on full
power. This means especially with mineral rich tap water:
➢Use a preferably slow water flow
➢As a rule, set to the highest level
With the Aquavolta® Water Tractor, the most powerful flow-through ionizer on the global market, can water with up
to 750 ppm be ionized and a good pH value of 9 to 9,5 of alkaline activated water can be reached. Already with a
pH value of 10,7 does an ORP result with up to - 735 mV (CSE) with a saturation of 1591 ppb (1,591 ppm -
respectively milligram/l) of dissolved hydrogen. (Example: Munich tap water. Can vary depending on water
source). For catholyte water are super saturated results achieved with a pH value of 11,8.
9 - What role does the water composition play?

The AquaVolta®Water Tractor is packed into one (1)
cardboard box with all accessories. Please keep this
cardboard box after unpacking the device should a
service be necessary and you send it to us for
inspection. The device (2) is already equipped with both
filter cartridges inside the casing.

Wet the drilling diagram
stencil with water and
position it parallel to
the wall at the desired
height.
Place the nails or screws
at the intended position.
The head should
protrude 1 cm.
Hang the device on the
mount.
You can place the device aptly next to or behind the sink. In case you mount it on the wall use the hanging slits
on the back cover.
The hose can be disconnected if you press the inner ring
that encompasses it inwards (2). Also, rubber drip-stoppers
(3) can be removed like this.
Remove the rubber stopper (red) from the acidic water outlet.
With the thicker delivered hose cover the outlet spigot tightly.
The length of both hoses can be shortened with scissors to the desired
length. Do this before you have connected the device to the water tap or
the angle valve.
Attention: the acidic water hose should be at least 40 cm long.

13 - The two connection options of the device
With the easiest method is the ionizer connected
to the water tap, as you can see left in the
diagram.
This installation can be carried out by anyone.
Attention: The installation
is not possible with a
diversion from the cold
water tap if the tap is
connected to a low
pressure boiler.
Fitted adapters are usually
supplied by your
distributor.
Send your distributor a
photo of your tap.
In the case of a permanent installation is the water
ionizer connected directly to the cold water supply
with the delivered T-piece.
The acidic water outlet is, in rare cases, diverted to
an acidic water container under the sink. Usually the
outlet hose is placed in the sink.
Attention: The installation
to the angle valve should
be done by a plumber. A
hole has to be drilled into
the kitchen counter and
usually a ¼inch hose is
attached.

After removing the aerator from the
faucet can an adapter ring, if required,
with a rubber seal be screwed into the
tap (a) and the diverter body (b) is
screwed off.
To seal it, if necessary, can teflon tape
also be used (c).
•The water flow regulator (4) should be
inserted in between the supply hose (5)
and the ionizer. When in the position 2a
can the faucet be used normally. When in
2b and the cold water is turned on full is
the water pressure diverted to the ionizer.
•Ensure that the outlet hose of the function
water (5) is pointing to the sink.
•When you have checked that all
connections are watertight, then you can
plug the ionizer in (3).

15 - Connection diagram for the angle valve
Close the cold water valve
located below the sink.
Loosen the nut of the cold
water valve.
Insert the 3/8 inch Garang
valve (white/gold) in between
the angle valve and the cold
water valve.
Connect the ¼inch hose
(PE Hose), which leads
downwards from the ionizer,
tightly to the T-diverter.
After you have connected the
ionizer and the cold water tap
with the angle shut-off valve to
the water supply, can you open
the water supply at the angle
valve.
Please ensure that the
acidic and alkaline water
hoses drain into the sink.

16 - Setting for initial operation

17 - pH-value measurement and optimal rate of flow
1. The pH value indicates the amount of H3O+ -ions found in the water. The fewer the water contains, the
more alkaline it is. Alkaline activated water should be about 100 times more alkaline than tap water
(pH 7). It is therefore 10.000 times more alkaline than coffee or a fizzy mineral water and 1 million
times more alkaline than a lemonade.
2. Optimal drinking has been proven to be at a pH value between 9 and 9.5, these are the top limits of
the German drinking water ordinance. When starting your device you have pH indicator drops with a
colour scheme for you to measure and obtain the desired pH level with your chosen water. If
necessary, you can adjust the flow rate/per minute when measuring the pH. This is applied especially
when you have set the highest alkaline level and the desired pH values cannot be reached.
3. Even though there is no exact predictability of the ionizer results, because each type of water has a
different composition, as a thumb rule it is said to the achievement of a drink with a pH of 9-9,5:
-soft water up to dH hardness 9: Flow amount approx. 2,3 L/Min
-medium hard water dH 10 – 15: Flow amount approx. 1,9 L/Min
-hard water dH 16 – 19: Flow amount approx. 1,6 L/Min.
-very hard water dH 20 - 24: Flow amount approx. 1,4 L/Min
-extremely hard water over dH 24: Flow amount approx. 1,2 L/Min
The desired water flow you can regulate with the flow regulator at the supply hose to the water tap or
with the small grey lever at the angle shut off valve under the sink.
•You only have to do the test once for each water type, unless in your region you have strong seasonal
hardness fluctuations. You receive information about this from your water supplier.
It is easy to carry out the test: (Do not drink the test liquid and keep it away from children!)
•Draw a small amount, as pictured and add 2 drops of the indicator fluid.
•Compare the desired value with the colour scheme and adjust the water flow with the grey lever at
the angle shut off valve under the sink.

18 - Settings during operation
The many available languages of the user guidance announcements are a good
safety feature for people with impaired vision. Yet sometimes these can be
annoying. Especially if they have been set very loudly and you would like a glass
of water at night or in the morning and the rest of the household is wanting to
sleep. The volume can be adjusted so that it is silent and does not bother
anymore.
Volume of the announcements
When in Standby mode, press the VOICE button for 2-5 seconds until the speaker
symbol shows up. With the ALKALINE and ACIDIC buttons you can adjust the volume
from 0 to 20.
To save your setting press the VOICE button.
If you do not press anything the setting is
automatically saved after 10 seconds and
the device changes in the Standby mode.

19 - Dispensing alkaline activated water
•Alkaline activated water for drinking. Maximum pH value 9,5.
•Alkaline activated water for cooking and refreshing foods. Level 4 alkaline
Once you turn the water
switch ON, water flows
through the device. 2/3 of the
water comes out of the upper
outlet, 1/3 out of the
wastewater hose
By pressing the ALKALINE
button repeatedly can you
set the desired alkaline
level from 1 - 4. You will
hear a voice prompt.
Wenn you switch the lever back
to OFF, water stops flowing
through the device and it sets
itself back to the Stand-by
mode.
When you switch the device back on, it will automatically set
itself to the last used alkaline level.
Only use tap water which complies to the drinking
water standards of your country.

20 - Dispensing acidic activated water (beauty-water)
•This function allows you to dispense greater amounts of
weak acidic activated water for skin and haircare. Also for
pets, for cleaning, as a bath additive and to water the
plants.
Once you turn the water
switch ON, water flows
through the device. 2/3 of the
water comes out of the upper
outlet, 1/3 out of the
wastewater hose
By pressing the ACIDIC
button repeatedly can you
set the desired acidic level
from Acidic 1 to Acidic 2.
You w i l l h e a r a vo i c e
prompt.
Wenn you switch the lever back
to OFF, water stops flowing
through the device and it sets
itself back to the Stand-by
mode.
When you switch the device back on, it will automatically set itself to
Alkaline level 3, so that you don’t drink acidic water by accident.
