Easy maintenance.
It does not treat mains water.
Treat filtered / RO water.

2. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations.
You have acquired an excellent equipment for treating drinking water
that increases the concentration of dissolved hydrogen in the water
and reduces the ORP.
What is Hydrogen?
Hydrogen is the chemical element with atomic number
1. It is the lightest of the elements and the most abundant in the
Universe, although not on Earth. Hydrogen is quite common in nature
in combination with others such as oxygen, carbon or nitrogen (it
forms part of water, the human body, animal and plant organisms,
etc.).
What is the Oxide Reduction Potential (ORP) of water?
The ORP measures the tendency of water and its compounds in solution,
to produce oxidation (positive potential) and / or produce a reduction
(negative potential).
What is the pH of the water?
PH is an indicator of the acidity of a substance. It is determined by the
number of free hydrogen ions (H +) in a substance. The pH of water
can vary between 0 and 14. When the pH of a substance is greater
than 7, it is a basic substance. When the pH of a substance is below
7, it is an acidic substance. The further the pH is above or below 7,
the more basic or acidic the solution will be.

could lead to equipment failure.
7. OPERATION
The equipment hydrogenates the water in the jug, the concentration
of hydrogen being a function of its characteristics and the selected
treatment time.
To do this, it uses an electrolytic cell separated by a semi-permeable
membrane, in such a way that molecular Hydrogen [H2] is produced at
the cathode (-) and Ozone [O3] and Oxygen [O2] are produced at the
anode (+).
Molecular hydrogen is generated inside the jar and the Oxygen and
Ozone are discarded to the exterior as by-products of the reaction
through the bottom of the jar, being neutralized by the filter that is in
it. , not coming into contact with the water stored inside the jug at any
time.
8. USER INTERFACE
To use the control panel, gently press your finger on the touch
buttons.
HYDROGENATION CYCLE
Fill the jug with the water to be hydrogenated (maximum 2 liters).
Press the "H" button located at the bottom of the control panel. With
each touch, a hydrogenation time will appear on the screen and a
blue LED will also light up. You can select between 10, 20, 30 and 0
minutes, the latter being a sleep state.
• Do not touch the electrodes with pointed or sharp objects.
• When using the equipment for the first time or when the carafe has
been dry for a long time, bubbles may come out of the electrodes in a
different size than normal. After 2 or 3 hours the size will normalize.
5.3. MAINTENANCE WARNINGS
• Disconnect the equipment from the network when you want to clean it.
Clean the electronic base and exterior of the carafe with a dry cloth. Do
not use water, alcohol, paint stripper, benzene, or any other chemical.
To clean and sanitize the jug, consult the section
9. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING of this manual.
6.INSTALLATION AND START-UP
• Connect the transformer to the electrical outlet and the other end to
the equipment power connection located on the back of the
equipment.

The display will show the message “O3” for 4 seconds
accompanied by a short beep, to indicate that the cleaning mode
has been activated. This process takes 15 minutes and you can
see the remaining time on the screen.
When the hydrogenation process is complete,
the message “Ed” (END) will be displayed on
the screen and a short beep will sound. Then,
and automatically, the maintenance mode will
be activated
of hydrogen along with a pulsing blue light effect to indicate this.
The hydrogen maintenance mode lasts for 10 hours, during which the
system is activated 3 minutes every hour.
If you want to consume all of the water before the
hydrogen hold time expires, press the "H" button to put the
carafe to rest.
Avoid using the jug without water (empty).
After the self-cleaning cycle is complete, the
message “CL” will appear on the display.
During the cleaning process, the indicator
light is red and ozone is generated in the
water.
DO NOT drink this water, discard it after finishing the cleaning
cycle.
If during the work cycle the user lifts the jug
from its base, it will pause and the message
“OP” will be shown on the screen. To resume
the cycle, you just need to place the jug on
its base again.
To cancel the cleaning cycle before it is finished, press the “O”
button. The message “00” will appear on the screen.
If the user lifts the jug from its base during the
work cycle or hydrogen maintenance, it will
pause and the message “OP” will be displayed
on the screen. To resume the cycle, just place
the
jug on its base again.
To cancel the duty cycle before completion, press the "H" button. The
message “00” will appear on the screen.
9. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
• Clean the inside of the jug with tap water (do not use hot water) and
soap with the appropriate frequency and similar to what you would use
with a normal jug or your dishes.
WARNING: Do not put the jug in the
dishwasher.
SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
It is recommended to do a cleaning cycle once a week to keep the
equipment in optimal working conditions and to extend the useful life
of the electrolysis cell.
To run the cleaning cycle, first fill the jug with 0.5 liters of water. Place
the carafe on the base and press the “O” button for 2 seconds.

• If you are not going to use the carafe for more than a week, empty it and
disconnect it from the power supply.
After more than a week without using the jug, you will need to empty
it and rinse it with tap water before using it.
After more than three weeks without using the jug, you will need to empty it
and clean it with cold tap water and soap.
•Self-cleaning: By activating a self-cleaning cycle (CL) after filling
the jug, described in the previous section, the polarity of the
electrodes of the electrolytic cell is reversed in order to reduce the
fouling that could occur in them.
ATTENTION: during this cycle, ozone will be generated
inside the jug, not consuming the water in it, and it must be
discarded before activating a normal hydrogenation treatment
cycle.
ATTENTION: treating water with hardnesses greater than
15ºHF will reduce the life of the critical components of the
equipment. In this case, it is recommended to carry out at least 2
self-cleaning cycles per week.
ATTENTION: The half-life of certain equipment
components may be reduced in the case of treating
non-softened or chlorinated water or with a TDS greater
than 300 ppm
