LIFE M9 NG Installation Guide (countertop)
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
IonizerTM 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!

Quick Connect Fittings and Tubing
Push the tubing into the tting to the pipe stop. The coller (gripper has
teeth which hold the tubing rmly in position while the “O” Ring pro-
vides a permanent leak proof seal.
Check the Seal: Pull on the tubing to see if the seal is secure. It is a good
practice to test the system prior to leaving the site and/or before use.
Ensure system is depressurized before removing ttings. Push in the
coller against the face of the tting. With the coller held in this position,
the tube can be removed. The tting can then be re-used.
coller
To ensure an optimal seal, tubing should be cut with the end square.
An angled cut or distortion of the tubing will not provide an ecient seal
and may cause leaks. Determine the length of tubing needed for
the connection and cut the segement of tubing to the appropriate length.
To Connect:
To Disconnect:
