Special Installation Notes
The unit should be placed
horizontally in an environ-
ment in which there is no
danger of sliding.
Do not lay the ionizer
over the outer hose so
that the hose will not
be bent or pressed.
The unit should be
installed within 40
inches distance from
water drainage.
Acidic water hose
should be installed
lower than the ionizer.
The machine should
be installed away from
direct sunlight or
heaters such as a re
place or oil source.
• The unit can be operated on either a 110 or 220 volt setting.
Before plugging it in, set the voltage selector switch to the right setting.
• To avoid damage, the unit should be installed away from direct
sunlight and not exposed to freezing temperatures.
• Be sure to shut o the water supply from the tap when not in use.
• The unit should be connected to the cold water side.

Installation Instructions for LIFE Ionizer™5100
Use Cold Water Only With Your Ionizer
STEP 1: Unscrew the existing aerator from your faucet.
STEP 2: Use teon plumbers tape on the threads. Screw the LIFE
Ionizer™ 5100 diverter valve onto your faucet. Three dierent
sized adaptors are included for non-standard sized faucets.
STEP 3: Unscrew the round nut from the side of the diverter valve.
Slide the nut over the end of the 1/4” tubing and then screw
the nut back onto the diverter valve. Tubing should now t
snugly onto the diverter valve.
STEP 4: Lay the ionizer down on its back and you will see two white
elbows extruding from the bottom of the machine. There
will be an o-white collar around the base of the elbow.
Depress the collar towards the machine while simultaneously
extracting the elbow from the machine. Now, holding the
elbow in your hands, you’ll see a similar collar near the end
of the elbow. In the same way as you extracted the elbow,
you can depress the collar towards the elbow and extract
the plug from the end of the elbow. It is sometimes helpful
to use the back of a butter knife or screw driver to remove
the plug. If you ever need to remove the tubing from the
quick release, you will use the same process.
STEP 5: Run tubing from the diverter valve to the inlet valve on the
bottom of the ionizer. Be sure to push the tubing into the
quick connect valve 3/4” until it is rmly seated.
STEP 6: Insert one end of tubing into outlet valve on bottom of unit
and run the other end into the sink securing it with the
suction cup provided. Some units may contain water.
Don’t be alarmed; we test units for quality before shipment!

1. Cut the tubing leading to the ionizer at the desired location and length.
2. The cap on top of the lter housing is marked “OUT” and “IN”.
3. The tubing coming from the cold water connector needs to be inserted into the
side of the housing marked “IN”. Firmly press the tubing into the lter-housing cap.
You will feel the tubing stop when it is fully inserted. Pull on the tubing gently to
ensure that it does not come out and a good connection was made. If possible,
ush the lter by turning on the ow of water slowly and point the “OUT” towards
the sink; let it run for 2-3 minutes and turn the water ow o.
4. Insert the tube going to the ionizer into the side of the housing marked “OUT” by
rmly pressing the tube into the lter housing cap.
5. To remove the tubing from the lter cap, press in on the O-ring and tubing
simultaneously, then gently pull out on the tubing.
