pH Reagent Liquid Precautions
pH Reagent Liquid Precautions
Some helpful tips
Some helpful tips
Do not expose the pH measuring reagent to extreme heat, flames or fire.
It is combustible.
For storing your alkaline water, glass or ceramic is best. Always try and
keep your stored water cool and away from direct sunlight.
You can use plastic, but only use lexan (number7) or poly bottles
(Nalge type). It is always best fresh out of the machine and ideal
if consumed on a day-today basis.
Do not store alkaline water in stainless steel, bronze or
aluminum containers.
Save the box and Styrofoam your ionizer came packed in.
This will help if your ionizer needs to be transported at a later date.
Do not use an ionizer downstream of a sodium-based ion exchange
softening system or Reverse Osmosis system without first consulting
with your dealer.
Do not drink the pH reagent liquid, put it in the eyes or apply to the body.
- If the liquid is ingested, induce vomiting immediately and call a doctor.
- If the liquid gets in the eyes, flush immediately and thoroughly with
cool water; call a doctor.
- If spilled or dropped on your body, wash if off immediately.
Make sure to keep the pH reagent liquid tightly closed and out of the
reach of children.

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 in the center of the filter cushion.
- 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.
Flush out the carbon dust.
- The water will initially come out discolored (light to charcoal
gray) due to carbon particulates in the new filter.
Allow the water to flow for 2-3 minutes in the "Purified" mode
and this will flush all the carbon dust.
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.)
Press the reset button(Alkaline Button) located on the top of the faucet,
and depress for 4 seconds.
NOTE: When filter life indicator is reset, and also when machine is new,
the “FILTER REPLACE” light will not be flashing.

Filter Composition
Composition of filter(optional)
Change filter when follow phenomena occur even filter change icon does not flicker.
- When water flows little because filter is blocked due to heavily contaminated water
- When water smells because seriously contaminated water is flowed in
- When lots of foreign substance in water (turbid water, invisible substance) is eliminated in a short time
- When reusing it after you do not use it for a long time
Effective period of use of filter may differ greatly depending on season and usage
environment (quality and pressure of water and amount of use)
It is better to use UF(Combined hollow fiber membrane) filter initially, with power off,
after making water of 20ℓ(1㎏f/㎠) flow for approx. 5 minutes at minimum without fail,
in order to eliminate hydrophilic substance.
(If water pressure is below 1㎏f/㎠, a time longer than 5 minutes is needed)

Trouble Shooting Guide
The Function Display
Panel does not come on. A power plug is not properly inserted, or it is inserted into a
faulty outlet.
The fuse is blown.
The fuse is not inserted properly.
ResolutionCause(s) Abnormal condition
Properly insert power plug into
a correctly functioning power
outlet
Replace the fuse. A spare fuse is
located in the rear-panel fuse
holder. (3A / 250V fuse)
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 change 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 Machine has a
safety mechanism built-in to
protect the electrodes and
circuitry. This mechanism will
shut the Machine down
automatically. This mechanism
protects the unit from overuse
or excessive electric current.
Low output of alkaline water
from the unit. 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.
Low pressure in your household
plumbing.
The input hose is bent, kinked or
otherwise restricted.
Replace your filter.
Clean Pre-filter
Ensure water supply valves are
fully open. The water pressure
in house may be too low.
Straighten the bent hose.
