CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW PURCHASE!
You have just purchased the finest, most advanced water system in the world! Your new ionizer
is designed to provide you with many years of the cleanest, healthiest and most “functional” water
available. There are many specific uses and benefits of this amazing water, so read this manual
carefully to learn how to get both optimum performance out of your ionizer and to protect your
investment.
Your new Aquarion produces filtered alkaline, ionized water.
Just exactly what is that? The Aquarion employs computer accurate and selectable magnetic energy
to perform electrolysis through patented platinum bonded titanium electrodes inside a water cell.
Inside this advanced cell, the magnetic energy separates the water into an alkaline (high pH) and
acid (low pH) stream without using any chemicals.
Ionizing the water in this way re-structures the molecules and reduces their cluster size, binds
extra oxygen molecules, and concentrates ionized, absorbable and beneficial minerals like Calcium,
Magnesium and Potassium.
Your new Aquarion also produces Acidic water. This type water is low in pH, less than
pH6 and has many excellent uses. You will now have the convenience and benefits of water that
“functions” in many ways that ordinary tap, filtered or bottled water cannot.

What is alkaline electrolyzed – reduced water?
You can get alkaline/acidic electrolyzed-reduced water by electrolyzing the water after filtering impurities. Alkaline
reduced water is the optimal water for health because it is rich in minerals including calcium. Acidic water is good for
skin.
Some uses for the different levels of Alkaline water
What would I use the Purified water for?
For initial consumption period (4-7 days).
Let your body adjust slowly to the increase in pH.
Many people find that this lower level is actually perfect for them.
After the adjustment period you can drink the water at this next level.
This level is also great for cooking rice and other grains – fluffier and great tasting!
Some people like this for drinking though it can start to taste strong
It is superb for making tea or coffee as it enhances the taste and reduces bitterness!
Generally most people find this very strong tasting and with powerful detoxifying effects.
Great for boiling vegetables! Alkaline water will eliminate the bitter taste and brings out more of their natural
color.
The pH of Purified water is neither raised nor lowered and would be
the same as your tap water.
This water is simply cleaned of impurities by the advanced filtration system.
You can use it both as drinking water and to take medications with.

Some uses for the different levels of Acidic water
The Acid water has both antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
It also has an astringent effect and can be used for cosmetic purposes.
Use it while brushing your teeth,
gargle with it and use it as
a natural mouth wash!
It is an excellent astringent;
use it for washing your face or
as a natural after shave.
This setting has sterilizing
properties - use it to sterilize
cutting boards, dish towels etc…
In the kitchen use it to help
clean kitchen utensils.

Precautions for use of Alkaline water – don’t develop a “drinking” problem!
• If you have never consumed alkaline water - do not use a setting higher than 1 to begin with.
• Let your body adjust slowly and naturally for 4-7 days. After this initial adjustment period, you can gradually increase
the alkalinity of the water.
• Do not take medications with alkaline water. Take medications only with purified water.
• Consult with a physician before drinking alkaline water if you have:
– Chronic disease
– A dysfunctional liver or intestines
– Are currently under medical treatment
• Do not drink alkaline water if you have achlorhydria.
• Consult a physician before using acidic water if you have:
– Sensitive skin
– Allergies
• Only use potable drinking water in your ionizer.
• Poor water quality may have negative effects on your health and your ionizer! Most municipal water sources will be
fine in your ionizer.
• Well water and water from smaller systems should be checked, and may require pre-filtering. Your ionizer is not
under warranty for any damage or required cleaning caused by hard water deposits.

Why the Aquarion is the world’s most
advanced ionizer
Water selection and mode indicators
A revolutionary new automatic dynamic flow system employing
patented SOL valves.
5-layered platinum-titanium electrodes
Triple diaphragms
Mountain range-like specialized electrodes
Top quality 9 step single-body nano-silver multi-stage filter
One-touch ON/OFF water supply Flux control

Voice Indicator
Your ionizer has an attractive colored FND display that easily identifies your selections.
With the SOL valve system, your ionizer produces top quality alkaline water without the separate cleaning cycle
of every other ionizer. The SOL valve system keeps desirable flow levels and pressure which prevents scale build
up and protects from overloading the electrolysis cell.
This feature also reduces the amount of flow from the Acidic drain line.
We use the most advanced platinum-titanium electrode plating process that consistently produces water with
optimum ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) at the selected pH level.
Unique diaphragms made of natural pulp coated with PE and processed with surfactants keep pH, ORP and ion
exchanges between acid and alkaline uniform despite changes in pressure, flow amount or velocity.
They prevent scale buildup by employing a new material called fremion.
When a cross section of an electrode is examined at 700 times magnification, you can see that the electrodes
have very sharp points and form valleys.
Your ionizer employs special electrodes that generate reduced water with optimal ORP and stable pH level.
Premium filter materials ensure production of healthier and cleaner water, trapping a wide variety of
contaminants while allowing beneficial minerals to pass through.
Unlike the ionizers with a manually controlled water supply, where users must constantly check the flow rate,
your ionizer has patented SOL valves which automatically control the flow rate. This ensures you ease of use and
optimal operation - no guess work involved!
Fully automated flux control through an advanced new patented valve system greatly enhances the
optimization of pH and ORP in your water.
MICOM control system optimizes the pH and ORP of your water and helps keeps your ionizer in top working
condition.
A new indicator light alerts you if service is needed on your ionizer.
You remove the filter cover and the spring-loaded filter housing makes it a snap to replace your filter. MAKE
SURE NOT TO THROW AWAY THE GRAY FILTER CUP AT BOTTOM OF FILTER!!!
The easy to read digital indicator gives you an approximate indication of remaining water filter life. Optimum
performance is ensured by always changing your filter on time. In addition to the digital counter, a new indicator
light will flicker when your current filter life is up, reminding you to change your filter.
Wide choice range of pH. Enhanced convenience with One-Touch operation
A voice alerts you to your selection of alkaline, acidic or purified water.
You can adjust the volume level or simply switch the sound ON/OFF as you desire.
Easy to understand symbols and colors identify the type and level of water you have selected on the machine.

Do not over tighten.
1. SPLIT YOUR COLD WATER SUPPLY LINE –
This can be accomplished in a variety of ways depending on how your plumbing is configured.
Most commonly, you would install a “T” junction in the cold water line.
“T” junctions are available at any good hardware store and are inexpensive.
Take the white hose when you purchase the “T” to ensure the proper size fitting.
2. ATTACH THE TAP WATER INLET HOSE TO THE “T” JUNCTION –
You will need a hole through which you can route the white hose from the “T” to your ionizer.
Most newer sinks have cutouts that will work for this.
Pull the hose up to the counter.
Installation Method 2. At the sink under direct main pressure (more difficult)
Undersink Installation (most difficult)
Undersink installations can only be accomplished with an Undersink Conversion kit.
Your ionizer will require a very specialized faucet and a variety of other parts.
The conversion kit comes complete with everything needed to complete this type of installation.
It is recommended that a plumber perform this type of installation.
Please contact your dealer.

How to Add Calcium
REGULARLY CHECK AND CLEAN YOUR PRE-FILTER
Stop the water flow prior to calcium replacement.
– Water will overflow if you open the calcium cap while
Unscrew the cap to the left and remove.
– The first time you remove it the cap
may be tight. Use a butter knife to
work it free.
Take the basket apart from the cap and dispose of the
remaining beads. The beads never completely disappear
– it’s the calcium coating on the beads that slowly releases
into the water. Beads will release calcium for about 1–2
months depending on amount of use and pH of water.
Wash the basket and remove all water.
Add the new calcium beads and close the cap.
Insert the basket into the calcium port and twist the cap
closed.
– Water will overflow if you do not close
the cap tightly.
– Keeping the pre-filter clean is critical to the proper operation of your ionizer.
– First ensure your water supply is turned off.
– Then remove the pre-filter by pressing on the end of the fitting and pulling out the hose
at the same time. Rinse out the filter thoroughly to remove any built up particulate.

How to Replace the Filter
IMPORTANT! Stop water flow prior to filter replacement.
When the digital filter life indicator reaches full or you see the
flickering filter symbol, it is time to replace your filter.
Flush out the GAC carbon dust.
– The water will initially come out discolored (light to charcoal gray)
due to carbon particulates in the new filter.
This is not harmful and is typical of all GAC filters.
Allow the water to flow for 2–3 minutes in the “Purified” mode
and this will flush all the carbon dust.
Reset the filter life indicator.
– Press the “Reset” button located at the top of the filter housing compartment for 2–3
seconds while in standby mode (water not running through the ionizer).
Replace the filter housing cover.
Please replace filter when any one of the flowing occur:
– When severely polluted water has been run through the ionizer and
filter
– Excessive odor in output water and/or severely decreased flow rate
– After prolonged period of inactivity of over 30 days
Immediately after filter replacement, the water will come out black and
unclear due to the activated carbon particulates in the new filter but will
become clear momentarily. (It is not harmful.)
Open the filter housing cover.
– First, slide the cover upwards (figure 1) Then,
slide the cover to the left (figure 2) and remove it.
Remove the expired filter.
– Taking hold of the filter securely with your right hand,
press the filter firmly down against the spring loaded
mechanism (figure1) to disengage the top of the filter
and then pull it toward you (figure2) and up to remove it.
– The upper part of the filter is separated from housing by
pressing firmly down. Once you have engaged the spring
loaded mechanism, you can then easily remove the filter
from the main body by pulling it toward you.
– There will be a gray filter cup at the bottom of the filter.
Remove this piece from the expired filter and reinsert the cup into the base
of the housing.
Insert the new filter into the compartment.
– Ensure the gray filter cup has been reinserted properly into the base.
– Remove the plastic caps covering both ends of the new filter.
– Seat the large opening on the bottom of the filter cartridge onto the base
(with the black o-ring) in the center of the gray filter cup.
– Push the filter down and into the housing compartment ensuring the
opening at the top of the filter is seated properly into the fitting at the top
of the housing.
Check for leakage by running water through your ionizer before replacing
the housing cover.

How to Replace the Filter
Fiber Filter
Tap water
Solenoid valve
Filter
Water flow sensor
Water cell
Acidic water
Ultra Fine Filter
Fiber Filter
Calcium
Filber Filter
Silver Activated Carbon
Fiber Filter
Tourmaline
Fiber Filter
Calcium:
It slightly increases the alkaline mineral content in your water. It improves water taste and odors,
You get coral calcium on tap!
Tourmaline:
Tourmaline emits Far Infra Red (FIR) energy naturally. FIR produces well documented health benefits
and it also has an amazing effect on water.
The Biostone contains the semi – precious gemstone tourmaline in ceramic form, so you get FIR on
tap!
Non – woven fabric filter
Filters out sediment and particulate.
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) :
The workhorse of the filtration media. GAC is especially effective at removing chlorine, its odor and
taste, agricultural chemicals, phenol, trihalomethane and other chemical contaminants.
Silver is impregnated into the granular activated carbon to inhibit bacterial growth in between use.
Non woven fabric filter :
Filters out sediment and particulate.

Trouble Shooting Guide
Abnormal condition Cause(s) Resolution
The Function Display
Panel does not come on.
A power plug is not property
inserted, or it is inserted into a faulty
outlet.
Properly insert power plug into a
correctly functioning power outlet
The fuse is blown.
The fuse is not inserted properly.
Replace the fuse. A spare fuse is
included in your reagent kit.
(3A / 250V fuse)
The Function Display Panel /
display indicators do not
come on even after turning
the tap on.
Faulty PCB
(Printed Circuit Board)
Immediately unplug the unit and
contact your dealer to arrange
service.
pH test shows alkaline water
color as neutral (7) while
acidic water color gets
yellow (6). This is normal
if initial pH is 6.5
Faulty or evaporated reagent: alkaline
/ acidity are always produced in
inverse proportion. Therefore,
showing an acidic color means
inversely that alkaline water has to
be generated from the unit. Lack
of alkaline color can result from a
chemical reaction where carbonic
acid in water evaporates some test
reagent elements.
Test pH value on level 3 or 4 water;
replace reagent.
Power supply is suddenly
cut off while operating the
unit.
Elevated level of salt in the water or
high TDS; extended operation at high
pH; sudden flux in electrical current.
In these cases your machine will shut
down automatically to protect the
electrodes and circuitry.
Wait - the unit will become
operational again after about one
hour. Your ionizer has a safety
mechanism built-in to protect
the electrodes and circuitry. This
mechanism will shut the ionizer
down automatically. This mechanism
protects the unit from overuse
excessive electric current.
Filter is clogged. Premature clogging
may be caused by sudden drop
in water quality and an influx of
sediment or other contaminants,
which stress the filter.
Replace your filter.
Clean Pre-filter
Low pressure in your household
plumbing.
Ensure water supply valves are fully
open. The water pressure in house
may be too low.
The input hose is bent, kinked or
therwise restricted. Straighten the bent hose.
Low output of alkaline water
from the unit.
Abnormal condition Cause(s) Resolution
Strange smell from
Alkaline water.
Expired filter from ordinary use or
premature clogging due to flux in
water quality.
Replace your filter.
Sudden flux in water quality with
elevated level of Choline
(not Chlorine). Elevated Choline
levels are observed in some areas
during summer months. These
levels fall within safe drinking water
standards, yet will cause a reaction
with ionized water causing a unique
Select lower pH level (1-2). If still
present, filter replacement may be
necessary.
You have high hardness (calcium
primarily) in your water. The white
is extracted CaCO3 (Calcium
carbonate). After Co2 in water is
bonded with Ca where elevated
levels of CO3 exist in your water. In
water where elevated levels of CO3
exist, what you see after ionization is
Co2 in the water bonded with Ca.
This is calcium! It is not only harmless,
but actually good for you. Remember
the ionizer separates and condenses
the alkaline minerals and this is what
you are seeing. You can lower the
setting (1-2) and reduce this effect.
Typically this only occurs in hard
water areas.
Your water bottle or receptacle is foul
and needs cleaning. Contamination
mixes with alkaline water when filling
your bottle. Expired filter.
Clean your bottle or receptacle.
Try selecting lower pH level (1~2).
Replace your filter.
Filter not installed correctly into filter
housing.
Remove your filter and reinstall
it properly following the filter
replacement instructions. Increase
the quantity of source water inflow.
Acidic output hose is bent, kinked or
otherwise restricted.
Straighten the bent hose; increase
water flow from supply.
Water appears milkish;
white snow like particles
in the bottom of your glass.
At first no smell, but then
smell from the alkaline
water about one hour after.
Water leakage from the
filter cartridge housing.
No acid water flow from the
acidic output port.
