Safety Instructions & Symbols:
Source water requirements - Please pay attention to the source water
requirements outlined below prior to installing and operating your water
ionizer.
• The source water entering the water ionizer must meet applicable
local standards that make it suitable for drinking. Despite the unit’s
built-in water filter, it should NOT be attached to a water source not
meant for drinking. The purpose of the carbon filters is to remove
residual chlorine, other chemicals, and odors from water that is
already suitable for human consumption. The filter is NOT intended as
the sole purification source for the water ionizer - use in this manner
will void the warranty, reduce the unit’s performance, shorten it’s
operational life, and could jeopardize the health and life of anyone
drinking water that could potentially be harmful.
• The water flow entering the water ionizer from the source water
connection must be 0.8 liters per minute or faster for the water ionizer
to operate properly. If the water flow is too slow, the water ionizer may
not be able to induce water flow and therefore cannot start normally.
If your municipal or other water source flows slower than 0.8 liters per
minute, you may need to install a booster pump.
• The pressure of source water that goes into the unit must be under
43.5 pounds per square inch (psi)/.03 megapascals (MPa) for your
water ionizer to operate properly and to avoid damaging the unit. If
you water pressure is higher than this, you should install a water
pressure reducer to lower the source water pressure before it’s fed
into your water ionizer.

power rating may damage the unit and/or cause a fire.
• Do NOT attempt to plug in, unplug, or otherwise operate your water
ionizer if your hands are wet.
• Do NOT submerge the unit in water nor use alcohol, flammable, toxic,
or corrosive chemicals when cleaning this unit. You should clean the
exterior of the unit by using a slightly damp cloth with a small amount
of dish washing liquid.
• If the unit falls into or is doused by water or any other liquid,
immediately remove from power outlet.
• This appliance is not intended for use by people (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, nor by
individuals with otherwise limited knowledge, skills, and abilities
regarding the operation of electrical appliances in general and water
ionizers in specific unless they have received supervised and/or
written instruction (such as this manual) in their safe operation.
• Young children should NOT attempt to operate the unit.
• Do NOT place your water ionizer closer than 3 feet from your oven,
furnace, space heater, or any other active heat sources or devices.
• Do NOT disassemble, attempt to repair, or modify your water ionizer.
This should only be done by a professional service technician.

Health Issues: If any of the following apply to you, please consult your
physician before drinking or continuing to drink ionized alkaline water.
• You have kidney disease, renal failure, and/or have difficulty
discharging/eliminating potassium in which case you should generally
NOT ingest alkaline water;
• You are receiving medical treatment for another disease or illness;
• You are chronically ill or otherwise in very poor health.
Beginning to Drink Alkaline Water: Your body may take a while to get used
to drinking alkaline water.
• When drinking alkaline water for the first time, dispense the water
using your unit’s Alkaline 1 setting and consume only small amounts,
8 to 16 ounces (0.25 to 0.5 liters) per day.
• Continue this practice for at least 2 weeks prior to advancing to your
units higher pH value Alkaline 2 setting at which time you should try to
consume 32 to 64 ounces (1 to 2 liters) of alkaline water per day.
• Attempting to drink higher pH value water before your body becomes
used to alkaline water may result in temporary digestive,
dermatological, or other symptoms.
Alkaline Water & Medications: Do NOT drink alkaline water prior to, with, or
immediately following taking tablets or other oral medications. Instead,
use your unit’s “Purified Water,” i.e., filtered but not ionized, water setting.
As a general rule, you should not consume alkaline water within 45 mins.
to one (1) hour either before or after taking medication. This is to avoid
“time release” issues, unless approved by your medical professional.

Cosmetic Water Use: When using mildly acidic water from your water
ionizer’s Acidic 1 setting for skin care, as an astringent or for hair care,
please discontinue use and consult your physician if you develop a skin
rash or other allergic reaction.
CAUTION
CAUTION

IMPORTANT
Storing Ionized Water: Under normal temperature conditions, alkaline
water stored properly in a sealed, insulated container will retain its ionized
properties for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours when refrigerated.
Alkaline levels may remain for longer periods.
• Do NOT store ionized water in metal containers. It should only be
stored in plastic, glass, or ceramic containers.
• Exposing the container to direct sunlight may shorten the period that
alkaline water is able to retain its ionized properties.
Pets & Ionized Water: Dogs, cats, and other mammals may benefit from
drinking ionized water. However there are a few simple rules:
• Especially if your animals have any preexisting health problems,
consult your local veterinarian before giving them alkaline water
and/or following any negative health reaction to the alkaline water.
• Start them off slowly on Alkaline 1 setting and keep them there for at
least 2 weeks prior to moving to the Alkaline 2 setting. As a general
rule, it’s probably best not to exceed 9.0 pH.
• Do NOT give your pet alkaline water within 45 mins. to 1 hour before
or after meals. Use the “Purified Water” setting instead. The higher pH
levels can neutralize their stomach acids making it more difficult for
them to absorb nutrients.
• As with humans, Do NOT give your pets ionized water within 45 mins.
to 1 hour prior to, with, or after taking medication. Doing so can alter
the intended absorption rate of the drug.
• While the Acidic 1 water setting can be used to treat your pet’s minor
wounds and improve its skin and coat, you should check carefully for
any allergic reactions or skin irritation.

Fish & Aquariums: Unless you are an experienced aquarium owner or
qualified aquatic life professional, do NOT introduce ionized water to your
aquarium without knowing the precise alkaline or acidic water settings
applicable to your particular fish species. Fish may become ill or die if
their water’s pH balance is changed or changed too quickly.
Exotic Pets: Lizards, snakes, turtles, frogs, and other reptiles and
amphibian species vary dramatically in the pH levels to which they are
suited. Please contact your vet or pet shop owner prior to giving them
ionized water.
Plants: Different plants thrive on water of varying pH levels. For example,
some plants prefer more alkaline environments while others perform
better in more acidic ones. Consequently, before watering your plants with
ionized water, you should determine specifically the type of pH balance
most conducive to the growth of your specific plants.
Flushing Residual Water: Because a certain amount of water remains
trapped in your water ionizer’s filters and tubing, you should briefly run
water through your ionizer prior to each use.
• In order to remove any residual water left in your water ionizer, you
should generally dispense water from the unit for approximately 5
seconds before each use.
• If you have not used the unit for at least 2 days, you should dispense
water from the unit for at least 3 minutes before using it.
Tainted & Leaking Water: If any of the following occurs, stop drinking
water from your ionizer immediately and contact Real Spirit USA at (888)
601-5886.
• Taste or pH testing levels reveal that water dispensed from the unit,
which should be alkaline, is coming out acidic;
• Residual water appears to be dripping from the unit.
