CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW PURCHASE!
1 2
You have just purchased the finest, most advanced home water system in the world!
Your new ionizer is designed to provide you with many years of healthy, "functional" water.
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 Emco Tech Venus produces filtered alkaline, ionized water.
Just exactly what is that? Your ionizer 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 Emco Tech Venus also produces Acidic water. This type of water is lower than neutral
or pH7, 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.
Lets take a tour of your new Venus!

OPERATION OPERATION
1. POWER UP YOUR IONIZER.
- Depress the black power button located on the back of the ionizer to the
"ON" position.
- The black power button is ALWAYS left on. Your ionizer will "go to sleep" in
between uses and "wake up" when it detects water flow again.
- You will hear a single chime and the display panel will illuminate for 2-3 seconds.
- With the power on and the display panel dark, your ionizer is now in standby mode.
2. START WATER FLOW THROUGH YOUR IONIZER
A. Set the flow control Valve - This control is on the front of machine
and has an "ON" and "OFF" position. Try initially setting this half way
between "ON' and "OFF".
Important : This is one of the most critical features in controlling your
ionizer's performance.
This control WILL DIRECTLY impact the performance of your ionizer.
A slow flow will yield higher pH; a fast flow will yield lower pH.
B. Turn on your water faucet. Turn the lever to until you "divert" the water through your ionizer.
C. Get the feel for the difference in flow rates by adjusting FLOW CONTROL VALVE from a slow
trickle to the fastest flow. When you begin ionizing the water, start with it in the medium range
and adjust faster or slower as necessary to achieve optimum results.
3. TO SELECT ALKALINE WATER
A. Start Water Flow through your Venus.
Remember - The Venus cleans for 10 seconds after every 20 liters
B. To select an alkaline level simply depress the "ALKALINE" button to move to next
level until the desired level is achieved. The pH level indicator will change accordingly.
C. Note: Your Venus will always "remember" the last setting. For instance, if the previous
setting was Alkaline Level Medium, then it will go back to Medium when you start the
ionizer.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-If you have never consumed alkaline water - do not use a setting higher than
LOW to begin with. Let your body adjust slowly and naturally for 4-7 days.
After this initial adjustment period, you may gradually increase the alkalinity of the water.
-pH levels will vary according to the minerals present in the source water and water
flow rate through your ionizer.
4. TO SELECT ACIDIC WATER
Note: Acidic water is for external use only. DO NOT DRINK.
1. With water running through the ionizer:
2. Depress the "ACIDIC" button. The Acidic Water Indicator will light and the pH Level
Indicator will move up and down the scale to indicate the selected level.
3. To select a different level, depress the "ACIDIC" button to move to next level until
the desired setting level is achieved. The orange symbol and number
will change accordingly.
5. TO SELECT "FILTERED" WATER
1. Start water flow through your ionizer.
2. Depress the "FILTERED" button. The Filtered Water Indicator will be illuminated.
"Filtered Water" runs through the Biostone filter, but does not receive any ionization.
The Filtered water comes out of the stainless steel spout.
6. HOW TO SHUT OFF THE WATER FLOW FROM YOUR IONIZER
Rotate the diverter lever until the water flow from the ionizer stops and reverts to the faucet.
The water will stop and the display panel will go dark indicating the ionizer is in standby
or "asleep".
ON OFF
After 20 liters of water have flowed through the JP107 units,
it will do an autoclean for 10 seconds.
For example, if the ionizer is used first for 15 liters and then is used for 5 liters,
upon the next use, the unit will do an auto clean for 10 seconds.
You are able to choose the autoclean setting.
Warning light comes on when 20 liters is reached and stays on until the unit is
next used and goes through its cleaning cycle. This red warning light is normal
and will go away after cleaning cycle is completed when unit is next used.

How to Measure pH
1) Fill one of the test tubes provided with about 1 inch of alkaline,
acidic or purified water.
2) Place 2-3 drops of the pH reagent into the tube and shake it. If the
reagent and water are not mixed well, the correct result may not be
achieved. Too many or too few drops will effect results, adding another
drop will make the color stronger.
3) The pH value is determined by matching the color with the pH color
chart provided.
4) Keep the pH indication reagent in a dark and cool place.
DO NOT expose to sunlight or heat.
THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR IONIZER (VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!):
* There are three primary factors that control the performance of your ionizer:
1) The quality of your source water and its mineral content. We can not control this factor.
2) The voltage being applied to the minerals in the water. You control this by selecting the
Alkaline level on the control panel. The higher the setting the more voltage or power is
being applied to the water.
3) The flow rate of water through your ionizer. You control this with your faucet.
on the control panel. This determines how long the water is being processed.
With a fast flow your ionizer will produce lower pH, with a slow flow it will produce higher pH.
* Water quality and mineral content vary greatly in different localities.
Generally in "hard water" areas where mineral content is higher, your ionizer will easily reach
high levels of pH even with a faster flow. In "soft water" areas where mineral content is lower,
your ionizer may only reach the higher levels of pH with a slower flow.
* Learn to use the pH test kit and be sure to test your source water.
Also test the water produced at each alkaline setting at various flow rates.
* Do not drink the water that has been tested with the pH testing solution.

Check for leaks by running water through your ionizer before replacing the housing cover.
Flush out the GAC carbon dust.
- The water will initially come out discolored (light to charcoal gray) due to carbon dust 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.
Replace the filter housing cover.
7
Reset the filter life indicator (2 method).
- 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).
- Press BOTH the Alkaline and Filtered buttons simultaneously until the LED lights
on the Filter Life Indicator resets.
When the top LED illuminates Red it is time to change your filter You will also want to
replace your filter if any of these situations occur:
- Severely reduced flow rate - slower than usual even with full flow on the control valve.
- Abnormally bad taste - usually due to a sudden change in quality of source water.
- A period of inactivity of over one month - for instance an extended vacation.
Open the filter housing cover.
-Push in on the plastic ridges in the center of the filter housing cover on the side while
pulling the door out and to the left. Swing door out 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 to disengage
the top of the filter and then pull it toward you 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.
Insert the new filter into the compartment.
-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.
- 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.
